Chapter 2. Considerations for hardware setup


2.1. Verify that you have all required parts

Each Red Hat Storage One server is shipped with two quick release rail assemblies, assorted screws, and 12 hot-swap 3.5 inch hard disk drives in drive carriers.

If any of these parts are missing, check your order details and contact Super Micro Computer, Inc.

2.2. Ensure the rack is stable

Bolt the server rack to the floor or attach stabilizers to the rack to ensure that the rack remains stable throughout this process.

2.3. Determine component placement

Determine where you will install each component in this rack, keeping in mind the network and power requirements of your servers, as described in Chapter 11, Your hardware.

Ensure that you install components starting from the bottom of the rack and the heaviest component, to ensure rack stability.
