have the option to use the ACP capability. ACP is a protocol that enables Data ONTAP® to

Note: You do not need to ground DS2246 disk shelves; grounding is done through the power cords. Support Site at support.netapp.com.

2 Install the disk shelf in a rack

If the DS2246 disk shelf did not come in a system cabinet, you must install it in an equipment rack using the four-post rail kit or CAUTION LIFTING HAZARD
the two-post telco tray kit that came with your disk shelf.
See the rack installation flyer that came with the rack kit for detailed instructions.

Note: If you are installing the DS2246

disk shelf in a two-post mid-mount
installation, you must use the mid-mount 49 lbs (22 kg)
telco kit, which includes brackets, in
2U addition to the two-post telco tray kit. To reduce the weight of the disk
shelf, remove the power supplies
and IOMs before lifting.

3 Set disk shelf IDs

1. Connect power cords to the disk shelf, and then turn on the power to the disk shelf.
Note: Connect power supplies to different power sources for resiliency.
2. Visually verify that the ID for each disk shelf is unique, and if not, set the Shelf

5 Boot the system and proceed with setup

- See the Installation and Setup Instructions that came with your storage system for booting your storage system and for system setup.
- To take advantage of the ACP capability, you can enable it at setup or later. See the Data ONTAP Software Setup Guide for the setup worksheet and other setup information.
