Step 1. Make sure all hardware components are properly installed.

Step 2. Power on the Fibre Channel networking devices first.

Step 3. Power on the JBOD enclosures (if applied) by turning on the

power switches on PSUs.

Step 4. Power on the RAID system.

Step 5. Power on application servers.

Step 6. Check all component LEDs. No fault LEDs, whether red or

amber, should be lit. Read event messages from the LCD, or a

terminal console to make sure the boot-up process is successful.

To view events on LCD screen,

Step 1. Press the ENT key for 2 seconds to enter the Main Menu.

Step 2. Use the arrow keys to move to the last menu, “View and

Edit Event Logs.”

Step 3. Press ENT to enter the menu.

5Install CBM (optional)

CBM (Cache Backup Module) is optional for single-controller models. A CBM consists of a BBU (Battery Backup Unit) and a Flash SSD.

Step 1. Orient the BBU module and insert the protruding edge on one side into the insertion slot on controller canister.

Step 2. Lower the BBU into place, making sure the golden finger connector properly mates with the connector on the charger board.

Step 3. Fasten the captive screw on BBU.

Step 4. Insert the flash backup module into the flash socket with an approximately 15-degree angle to the board surface. Once fully inserted, press the flash down into the socket. The socket latches will hold the flash card in place.

Secure filler plates to the back of chassis ears. For 2U chassis, use filler plates with an “R” mark for RAID enclosures, those with a “J” mark for JBODs.

Step 1. Use a small-size flatblade screwdriver to turn the bezel lock to a horizontal position.

Step 2. Open the front flap of the drive tray by pushing the release button.

Step 3. Place the hard drive into the drive tray. The interface connector should face the open side of the tray, while the label side should face up.

Hard Drive

Use 8Gb/s transceivers and short-wavelength fiber optic cables to connect RAID system to application servers and FC switches.

Install EonPath driver on application servers for path redundancy and load balance

Refer to your hardware and firmware manuals for more information.

See below drawing for typical dual-controller connections and host LUN mapping.

Each LD can appear on 4 host links with 2 active IDs and 2 passive IDs for continued access by clustered servers.

Step 5. 5-1 Install drive trays into the tray slots. 5-2 Close the front bezel. 5-3 Rotate the bezel lock to secure the

drive tray.

3Install RAID controller

Step 1. Remove controllers from shipping

package, and insert them into thecontroller module bay.Slowly and carefully insert the controllers.

If you purchased a CBM module for the

single-controller models, install it before

installing the controller.

Step 2. Pull the ejection levers up when a

controller is reaching the end of module

bay. You should be able to feel the contact

resistance when controller is reaching the

end. Slowly and carefully insert the controllers.

Step 3. Secure controller by driving screws

through holes under the ejection levers.

Single-controller expansion links:

An SFF-8088 to SFF-8470 cable may be needed to connect RAID and the first JBOD.

Step 1. Make sure you properly configure

enclosure ID via the rotary ID switch on

every JBOD.

Use a small flathead screwdriver to change

the enclosure ID.

Enclosure ID: 1

Enclosure ID: 3

Enclosure ID: 4

Enclosure ID: 5

Enclosure ID: 6

The first enclosure ID, ID#0, is occupied by RAID enclosure.

Dual-controller models: Dual-

Step 2. Connect SAS expansion

cables. You may need an SFF-8088 to

SFF-8470 1.7m cable.
