Overview Use the procedures in this guide to install, configure, or upgrade an HPE StoreOnce 3620, 3640, 5200, 5250, or 5650 System. • Install a new system, including any capacity upgrade kits and optional features. ◦ Installing the StoreOnce 3620 System ◦...
Label the disks with the provided label kits before removing them from the enclosure for ease of installation and maintenance. TIP: If an HPE StoreOnce 3620, 3640, 5200, 5250, or 5650 system does not start up correctly after installation, the problem is probably with the way it was installed. Check the installation first before attempting to debug the system.
