Before You Begin
Consider the following best practices before setting up your SC100/SC120 expansion enclosure.
• Before connecting any cables between the storage system and expansion enclosure, physically label
each port and connector.
• Always follow proper power-up and power-down procedures when cycling power across the
network. Verify that critical network components are on separate power circuits.
