b. The power supplies in the shelf are auto sensing universal voltage (115/230VAC, 50/60Hz) and they come
with IEC connectors. The CED3U15SS shelf is supplied with three power cords for USA power systems.
(The CED1U4SS has one IEC power connection.) Other user supplied IEC adapter cords may be required
to meet power plug needs outside the USA.
c.
After connection to an AC power source, press the power switch located on the front panel of the unit and
observe that the units fans are operational. The shelf is now ready for disks to be installed.
2. SATA
Disk
installation
a. EtherDrive
®
Storage is designed to accommodate standard 3.5” SATA disk drives. Press the colored
release tab located on the drive tray door to release the drive tray from its locking position and extend the
extraction handle to withdraw the drive tray.
b. (Note: Disk trays are initially supplied with a plastic blank where the disk is installed. This plastic blank also
provides an air flow restriction to slots that are not yet inhabited by disks. Do not remove the plastic blank
until you are ready to install a disk in its place, to maintain proper air flow within the shelf.) Remove the
plastic blank attached to the disk drive tray and install a SATA disk drive in its place using six screws
provided.
c.
The disk and tray is now ready to be plugged into its slot in the shelf.
3. Shelf Address Configuration & Network Connection
a.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Each shelf sharing a common Ethernet network must have a
unique
address to
prevent an address conflicting which may disrupt operation of other storage devices on the network
b. Connect a terminal to the serial com port on the back of the unit. (Com1 settings are 9600 N 1). Now refer
to the software manual for configuration setup.
c.
CED3U15SS and CED1U4SS EtherDrive
®
Storage appliances have two Gigabit Ethernet connections on
the rear of the shelf. Use
CAT6
Ethernet cable only to connect to a an Ethernet switch or Server.
d. Coraid recommends the use of Ethernet switches that support 802.3x (flow control). Most modern Ethernet
switches support these standards.
e. Install the latest AoE software driver on each Server that will be accessing the EtherDrive Storage. This can
be downloaded from Coraid’s web site at
www.coraid.com/support
f.
EtherDrive Storage is now ready and accessible by the network connected Servers, equipped with ATA-
over-Ethernet (AoE) drivers. Please consult the Coraid web site
www.coraid.com/support
for helpful
“HOWTO” information.
