Redundancy

Note: BCM450 systems can also be ordered pre-installed with the redundancy options. This guide can be used as referential material to help identify the redundant components. However, redundant component replacement procedures can be found in the BCM450 Hardware and Installation Guide. Refer to the Replacing Internal Components section for information on replacing the redundant hard drives, cooling fan, power supply, and redundant power supply modules.

Redundancy

Overview

This guide will cover the installation procedures required to install a Redundancy kit and secondary Hard Disk Drive (for RAID purposes) into the BCM 450 chassis.

By combining a RAID solution, redundant power supply and secondary fan - a BCM 450 can be safeguarded against any significant down time or data loss in all but the most severe scenarios.

Requirements (Redundancy):

 The BCM must be placed on a suitable flat surface.  There must be ample room to remove the access cover and work

unhindered.

 The BCM should not be near the exhaust of any other operating

equipment.

 If required, a suitable earthing strap must be worn when working

directly on any internal circuitry.

Requirements (RAID):

 RAID functionality on BCM 6.0 is enabled through a keycode that

comes with the RAID Hard Disk Drive.

 Ensure you have the Keycode file with RAID entitlement.  Any new Hard Disk Drive must be equal to or greater in size than the

drive to be mirrored.

 Once installed the BCM will take slightly longer to reboot due to new

disk synchronisation.

 Disk mirroring does not effect any services running, but will reduce the

performance of the BCM until the mirror is completed (usually no more than 1 hour) therefore it is advisable to schedule this work during a quiet period.

 Access to Element Manager (to enable the RAID service).

RAID Keycode

Note: If installing the RAID kit, ensure that the RAID Keycode is showing as active – otherwise the RAID service will not be enabled.

Preparing the BCM 450 for Redundancy Kit Installation

Before installing a Redundancy kit, the BCM 450 must have the relevant components removed, whilst preparing the chassis to accommodate the new hardware. Components affected by the installation are shown in the photographs below:

Removing the Fan

To install the secondary fan and cover plate, the existing components need to be removed.

1. First, remove the retaining screws and access panel of the BCM 450.

2. You can clearly see the fan, power cable and connection point to the main circuit board.

3. Grasp the fan connector at the plug and pull to undo the connection.

4. Next, remove all retaining screws from the rear fan faceplate. The panel can now be removed.
