Installing your VSP E590 and VSP E790 storage system
Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform E590 and E790 storage systems are designed for self-installation, so you can install and
set up your storage system for the first time without assistance from a Hitachi Vantara representative.
Make sure your data center meets all site preparation requirements before you install the storage system. If you are not
using a Hitachi Universal Rack make sure the electrical specifications of your rack meet the power requirements of the
storage system.
This
video
shows how to mount and cable your storage system and how to perform the initial setup by using Hitachi
Storage Advisor Embedded.
