Devices Installation
Machine Mounting on Rack
Select with the client the spot on the rack for the machine(s), while taking into account:
Heavy machines should go down on the rack for weight balancing
Leave some space (1~2U) from the bottom for easier cable management
Write down in which rack and in which U is the machine installed for documentation
Install the guides, while taking into account:
Front / Rear sides indication facing inwards and correctly positioned
Any screws on the guides have to be removed before presenting it
Make sure to set on the front the bottom and the second-from-the-top screws
Slide carefully the machine into the guide until it fits
Screw the machine by opening the trapdoors on its sides tightly on the front and on the back
Following the Low-Level Design (LLD) connect the Controller as follows:
Power: Both power sockets on the Controller have to be connected. It is necessary to test with each one to ensure redundancy on power. One of the sockets must be connected to the right power outlet of the rack and the other to the left outlet of the rack.
Management: After configuration with PC, connect to the management cable (RJ45)
Interface: Connect with redundancy to the available switches (Fibre Optic cable)
Expansion: Connect with redundancy to the available, if any, DAE (SAS cable)
Multiple DAEs: If there are more that one DAE, they have to be connected in chain
Disk Installation
Make sure that the disk(s) belong to the machine before installation
Depending if there is an old disk or a false disk:
Empty Disk: press with the thumb and index on the bottom and upper part of the plastic to remove the false disk
Old Disk / Replacement: Press on the green line up on the Old Disk, the plastic front will move backwards. After that, remove the disk
Press on the green line up on the New Disk, the plastic front will move backwards
Slide the disk on the empty slot until it clicks and the front places itself straight
Wait for the LEDs indicators to light up to ensure the connection
If there is access to the Controller through the PC, connect to the Management Port and open Device Manager
Enter System > Hardware > Devices
Check through the Controller Enclosure or the Disk Enclosure (depends where the disks are mounted) if the newly installed disk(s) are there. If the disk(s) don't appear try waiting a bit for the system to recognize them and refresh the Device Manager.
