Performing initial system configuration
After you receive your PowerEdge FD332 system, you must set up your system in the enclosure. If your
storage sled has shipped pre-installed in the enclosure, it is recommended that you remove the sled
before you install the enclosure in the rack, to reduce chassis weight.
Setting up your PowerEdge FD332
1. Unpack the storage sled.
NOTE: If your storage sled has shipped pre-installed in the enclosure, remove the sled before
installing the enclosure in the rack, to reduce chassis weight. See Removing a storage sled.
NOTE: If you are installing the storage sled in an enclosure that is already powered on, you
need not turn off the enclosure to install the storage sled. Only the compute sled(s) to which
the storage sled is mapped must be turned off.
2. Turn off the compute sled(s) to which the storage sled is mapped, by using the CMC, iDRAC, or the
power button on the compute sled(s). For information on mapping configurations of storage sleds to
compute sleds, see Storage sled mapping configurations.
3. Remove the I/O connector cover from the storage sled connectors.
4. Install the storage sled in the enclosure. See Installing a storage sled.
NOTE: Install the storage sled(s) in the bottom slots of the PowerEdge FX2s enclosure,
beginning from the left (slot 3). In the four-bay chassis that supports up to three storage sleds,
you can also install a storage sled in the top right slot (slot 2) of the enclosure. For information
on sled slot numbering, see the Dell PowerEdge FX2 and FX2s Enclosure Owner's Manual at
dell.com/poweredgemanuals.
NOTE: You cannot install the storage sled in the top left slot (slot 1) of the four-bay chassis.
5. Turn on the compute sled(s) to which the storage sled is mapped, by using the iDRAC, CMC, or the
compute sled power button.
NOTE: The storage sled turns on when the compute sled(s) to which it is mapped is/are turned
on. For information on the mapping configurations, see Storage sled mapping configurations.
NOTE: If the enclosure is not powered on when you are installing the compute and storage
sleds, turn on the enclosure and wait for it to initialize before turning on the compute sled(s).
Managing your system remotely
You can manage and monitor the storage sled by using:
• the Chassis Management Controller (CMC). For more information, see the CMC User’s Guide at
dell.com/esmmanuals.
