documentation that is referred to in this Quick Installation Guide is on the IBM
Documentation CD that comes with the storage subsystem. The storage subsystem might have features
that are not described in the documentation that you received with the unit. The documentation might be
updated occasionally to include information about those features, or technical updates might be available
to provide additional information that is not included in the storage subsystem documentation. These
updates are available from the IBM Web site. To check for updated documentation and technical updates,
complete the following steps.
Note: Changes are made periodically to the IBM Web site. The actual procedure might vary slightly from
what is described in this document.
1. Go to http://www.ibm.com/servers/storage/support/.
2. On the “Support for TotalStorage products” page, under Select your product, in the Product family
field, select Disk storage systems.
3. In the Product field, select DS300 Disk System or DS400 Disk System.
4. Click Go.
5. Under Technical resources, select Documentation.
Before you begin, you should have a plan for how you want to install this storage subsystem into a
storage network. This plan should allow for the data servers, management station, host bus adapters,
switches, and other equipment. See Chapter 2 (for TotalStorage DS300) or Chapter 5 (for TotalStorage
DS400) in the IBM TotalStorage DS300 and DS400 Hardware Installation and User’s Guide for more
information.
