NOTES: If you are installing a new SAN, skip this chapter and go to Chapter 10,

If you are adding components to a pre-existing SAN, see the component’s readme on
the Dell PowerVault Fibre Channel Utilities CD Version 4.0 or the Dell PowerVault Fibre
Channel Update CD Version 4.0 to determine which SAN components need to be
updated.
Before starting an upgrade, always check the
File Library
on the Dell Web site at

for the latest drivers and BIOS revisions for your servers
and SAN components.
"Loading the manual" means you need to wait until the file loads and becomes available for online reading. Some manuals are very large, and the time they take to appear depends on your internet speed.
