1 Precautions

The system is heavy even without disks installed. At least two people are required to install the system.

The rack cabinet into which this system will be installed must support overcurrent protection and must not be overloaded by the modules installed. Other requirements, such as ventilation airflow, rack stabilizing features, electrical earth, and electrical distribution, must comply with the technical specifications listed in Section 8 Technical Data, page 31 and in the documentation that came with this product.

All systems must be mounted with and supported by the rails provided and secured in position by the four screws in the front side flanges. In no instance is a system to be mounted by the front side flanges only as this will result in the deforming of the systems chassis causing unacceptably high pressures and/or torques to be applied to internal components resulting in various failure modes.

System Integrators should ensure that any integrated storage solution that includes this product has been tested and proved to meet government regulations and codes for subjects including safety, fire, and electrical.

Make sure you have a soft, clean surface to place your system before working on it. Placing the system on a rough surface during servicing may damage the chassis finish.

Do not remove any module or component item from its anti-static bag until you are ready to install it. Pick up and hold modules by their edges or canister. Avoid touching PCBs and connector pins.

Observe all standard ESD prevention methods, e.g., wear an anti-static wristband to prevent static electricity from damaging the electric components.

When replacing components insert them as gently as possible while assuring full engagement. Vibration or shock can damage hard drives in the affected unit or other units in the rack. Hard drives are very sensitive to shock and vibration, especially while in operation and should always be handled very carefully.

After all equipment is installed in a rack dress the power and data cables such that power cables are not resting against data (SCSI, IP, RS-232) cables.

NOTICE!

 

For more detailed information on the hardware installation please refer to the documentation

 

available on www.boschsecurity.com under Product Catalog > CCTV > IP Video > Disk

 

Arrays.

!

WARNING!

The storage system is heavy. Two people are required to lift a system.

 

CAUTION!

!Only use the rail kit supplied with the system. Using a different rail kit can cause injury to you or damage to your system.

1.Unpack your system by opening the packing box and lifting the outer shipping box off the pallet.

2.Install the appropriate rack mount for your installation and system using the Rack Installation flyer in the rail kit box for reference.

3.Install the appropriate rack mount for any disk shelves that will be connected to the system

4.With two people, lift the system into the rack or system cabinet, and secure it to the rack uprights. The system weighs slightly over 30 kg (67 lb) and requires one person at the end of the system to guide it into the rail ends.

5.For installation and wiring of additional disk shelves, see Section 6 Adding Storage, page 17.

6.Connect the power cords, making sure that the power supplies are connected to separate AC power sources. This ensures redundant power sources.

Make sure to set the power cable retention clips properly.

Ensure that power supply LEDs are lit.

5 Configuration through the Web Interface

NOTICE!

Do not use the S5B50 management software StoreVault Manager for the configuration. The DSA series come with a dedicated Bosch standardized system layout. StoreVault Manager is not compatible with the Bosch layout.

Follow these steps to configure each system. This procedure is nearly identical for all three types of storage systems.

1.Turn on the system.

DSA-S5B50: The power button is located on the front side on the left-hand side.

DSA-N2B20 / DSAN2B50 / additional disk shelves: There is a power switch on each power supply unit (rightand left-hand side) on the rear side of the device.

If there are additional disk shelves installed, first power on the base unit, then power on the expansion units.

NOTICE!

It can take a few seconds until the LEDs on your system power supplies light up.

 

NOTICE!

 

The Java Runtime Environment must be installed on your computer in order to use the Web

 

interface. Always use the most recent version.

 

 

5.1

Configuration of the Network Settings and Access to the

 

Interface

All systems are delivered with a default IP address configuration of 10.10.10.10, netmask 255.0.0.0. In order to connect to the system, you need to configure a network interface on your computer to use the same network.

2.Select from the Control Panel of your computer Network Connections, Properties. Here, configure your network interface to use IP address 10.10.10.9 with Subnet mask

255.0.0.0. Example screen:

NOTICE!

The IP address 10.10.10.9 is an example. The IP addresses 10.10.10.10 and 10.10.10.11 are the default IP addresses for the storage system and cannot be used otherwise.

3.Connect your computer directly to the network port labeled e0a on the storage system, using a crossover cable.

Alternatively, connect your computer to the network the storage system is connected to.

4.Open a Web browser and enter http://10.10.10.10/na_admin. You will be asked to log in.
