–The host channel ID (for example, host channel 1)
Example label abbreviation – Assume that a cable is connected between port 1 in HBA 1
of a host named Engineering and host channel 1 of controller A.
A label abbreviation could be as follows.
4.Repeat step 1 through step 4 for each controller and host channel that you intend to use.
7.5Connecting to the network
In case of a Bosch Video Recording Solution a host is an IP camera. To connect the controller
to the Ethernet one or two of two available iSCSI host ports must be connected to the
Ethernet. The iSCSI port connections will then be used by the IP cameras for video data
traffic.
Connect the cable from the iSCSI host port to a port on the switch and make sure that the
iSCSI ports of the controller and the relevant IP camera ports are in the same zone on the
switch.

1Switch2Controller A – Host Ports
3Controller B – Host Ports
7.6Connecting to the management hosts
The management host directly manages storage arrays over an out-of-band network. This
section describes how to setup an out-of-band connection between the Ethernet port of a
controller and the management host.
To set up an out-of-band connection:
1.Connect Ethernet cables between port 1 of controller A and port 1 of controller B to an
external Ethernet switch or hub.
2.Connect the management host to the Ethernet switch or hub.

tray configurations
8.1Things to know – general installation of drive trays with the
E2700 controller-drive tray
Notice!
If you are installing the drive tray in a cabinet with other trays, make sure that the combined
power requirements of the drive tray and the other trays do not exceed the power capacity of
your cabinet.
Notice!
For important considerations about cabinet installation, refer to the “Storage System Site
Preparation Guide”.
Warning!
Risk of bodily injury
An empty tray weighs approximately 56.7 kg (125 lb). Three persons are required to safely
move an empty tray. If the tray is populated with components, a mechanized lift is required to
safely move the tray.
If you are performing a hot add of a tray to an existing storage array, observe the following:
–Special site preparation is not required for any of these drive trays beyond what is
normally found in a computer lab environment.
–The power supplies meet standard voltage requirements for both domestic and
worldwide operation.
–Keep as much weight as possible in the bottom half of the cabinet.

8.2Procedure – installing the DE1600 drive trays
Warning!
Risk of bodily injury
Two persons are required to safely lift the component.
Warning!
Risk of bodily injury
If the bottom half of the cabinet is empty, do not install components in the top half of the
cabinet. If the top half of the cabinet is too heavy for the bottom half, the cabinet might fall
and cause bodily injury. Always install a component in the lowest available position in the
cabinet.

8.5Procedure – installing drives on the de6600 drive tray
The DE6600 drive tray is shipped with the drive drawers installed, but the drives are not
installed. Follow the steps in this procedure to install the drives.
Notice!
Risk of equipment malfunction
To avoid exceeding the functional and environmental limits, install only drives that have been
provided or approved by the original manufacturer. Drives might be shipped but not installed.
System integrators, resellers, system administrators, or users can install the drives.
The installation order within each drawer is from left to right in rows. Slots 1, 4, 7, and 10
must have a drive installed in these locations to make sure there is sufficient air flow to the
drives. To verify these slots, consult the overlay on the front of each of the five drive drawers.
Make sure the four drives in each row are adjacent to each other. The long edge of each drive
should touch the drive next to it. To maintain a uniform airflow across all drive drawers, the
drive tray must be configured with a minimum of 20 drives, with four drives in the front row of
each of the five drive drawers.
Notice!
Risk of equipment malfunction
All 60-drive trays have a limit of five solid state drives (SSDs) per drawer. If you exceed this
limit for SSDs in a particular drawer, the power source in the drawer could fail.

of the drive drawer.
Note: Risk of equipment malfunction – Make sure you push both levers to each side so
the drive drawer is completely closed. The drive drawer must be completely closed to
prevent excess airflow, which has the potential to damage the drives.
8.Continue onto the next drive drawer, repeating step 1 through step 7 for each drive
drawer in the configuration.
8.6Things to know – connecting the power cords
Observe the following:
–For each AC power connector on the drive tray, make sure that you use a separate power
source in the cabinet. Connecting to independent power sources maintains power
redundancy.
–To ensure proper cooling and assure availability, the drive tray always uses two power
supplies.
–You can use the power cords shipped with the drive tray with typical outlets used in the
destination country, such as a wall receptacle or an uninterrupted power supply (UPS).
These power cords, however, are not intended for use in most EIA-compliant cabinets.

9.4Things to know – drive tray cabling configurations for the
E2712 controller-drive tray
The figures in this section show representative cabling configurations. The configurations
shown guarantee that redundant data paths exist between the controller-drive tray and all
attached drive trays in a storage array. You can attach the E2712 controller-drive tray to the
following drive trays: DE1600 drive trays or DE6600 drive trays.
You need two or four SAS cables to attach one or two drive trays to the controller-drive tray.
For each additional drive tray, you need two more SAS cables.
Notice!
To connect a drive tray to a controller drive tray, you need two Mini-SAS HD to Mini-SAS
cables.
To connect an additional drive tray to a drive tray, you need two Mini-SAS to Mini-SAS cables.
These general rules apply:
–All cables connect a SAS Expansion (Out) port at one end to a SAS IN port at the other
end. Never connect a SAS Expansion (Out) port to another SAS Expansion (Out) port.
Never connect a SAS In port to another SAS IN port.
–You can use either of the two SAS IN ports on an ESM for a connection, but it is best
–The drive trays in the chain of connections from controller A are in the reverse order from
to follow the conventions described in the documentation so your storage
management software represents the storage array consistently.
those whose connections start from controller B. That is, the last drive tray in the chain
from controller A must be the first drive tray in the chain from controller B.

E2700 controllers share two drive-side SAS domains. The dual expansion ports allow external
bandwidth capability, as each port contains four PHYs on each E2700 controller.
When there is only one drive tray, connect both controller ports to the same ESM in a single
stack to maximize performance.
When there is more than one drive tray, connect one port on controller A to the left ESM of
the first drive tray in the stack and one port on controller B to the right ESM of the last drive
tray in a dual stack to maximize performance. Dual stack cabling requires that both expansion
ports on the controllers are used for drive-side cabling in order to create two stacks.

Use this chapter if you are using out-of-band management for your storage array. If you use inband management, you can ignore this chapter. To continue, see Connecting the power cords,page 54.
10.1Key terms
in-band management
A method to manage a storage array in which a storage management station sends commands
to the storage array through the host input/output (I/O) connection to the controller. The
SMagent must be installed for this method to work correctly.
out-of-band management
A method to manage a storage array in which a storage management station sends commands
to the storage array through the Ethernet connections on the controller. This is the
recommended management method.
10.2Things to know – connecting Ethernet cables
This topic concerns Ethernet management connections, not the Ethernet iSCSI connections
that might be used through a host interface card connection.
Notice!
Risk of security breach
Connect the Ethernet ports on the controller-drive tray to a private network segment behind a
firewall. If the Ethernet connection is not protected by a firewall, your storage array might be
at risk of being accessed from outside of your network.
Observe the following:
–Ethernet port 2 on each controller is reserved for access by Technical Support.
–Because the controllers support the Auto-MDIX feature, you do not need an Ethernet
crossover cable.
10.3Procedure – connecting Ethernet cables
To connect Ethernet cables for out-of-band management:
1.Connect one end of an Ethernet cable into the Ethernet port 1 on controller A.
2.Connect the other end to the applicable network connection.

11Connecting the power cords
Use the following information to connect the power cords in your storage array.
11.1Things to know – AC power cords
Observe the following:
–For each AC power connector on the drive tray, make sure that you use a separate power
source in the cabinet. Connecting to independent power sources maintains power
redundancy.
–To ensure proper cooling, do not operate a drive tray with one of its power supplies
removed.
–You can use the power cords shipped with the controller-drive tray with typical outlets
used in the destination country, such as a wall receptacle or an uninterrupted power
supply (UPS). These power cords, however, are not intended for use in most EIAcompliant cabinets.
11.2Procedure – connecting AC power cords
To connect AC power cords:
1.Make sure that the circuit breakers in the cabinet are turned off.
2.Make sure that both of the Power switches on the controller-drive tray are turned off.
1 - Power switches
3.Connect the primary power cords from the cabinet to the external power source.
4.Connect a cabinet interconnect power cord (or power cords specific to your particular
cabinet) to the AC power connector on each power canister in the drive tray.
5.If you are installing other drive trays in the cabinet, connect a power cord to each power

E2700 controller-drive tray configuration
After you complete this task, you can install the software and perform basic configuration
tasks on your storage array. Continue with the Initial Configuration and Software Installation.
12.1Procedure –turning on the power to the storage array and
checking for problems in a E2700 controller-drive tray
configuration
Notice!
You must turn on the power to all of the connected drive trays before you turn on the power
for the controller- drive tray. Performing this action makes sure that the controllers recognize
each attached drive tray.
Notice!
While the power is being applied to the trays, the LEDs on the front and the rear of the trays
come on and go off intermittently.
To turn on the power to the storage array:
1.Turn on both power switches on each drive tray that is attached to the controller-drive
tray. Depending on your configuration, it can take several minutes for each drive tray to
complete the power-on process.
Note: Before you proceed with the next step, check the LEDs on the drive trays to verify
that the power was successfully applied to all of the drive trays. Wait 30 seconds after
turning on the power to the drive trays before turning on the power to the controller-drive
tray.
2.Turn on both Power switches on the rear of the controller-drive tray. Depending on your
configuration, it can take several minutes for the controller-drive tray to complete the
power-on process.
3.Check the LEDs on the front and the rear of the controller-drive tray and the attached
drive trays.
4.If you see any amber LEDs, make a note of their location.

12.4Things to know – service action allowed LEDs
Each controller canister, power-fan canister, and battery canister has a Service action allowed
LED. The Service action allowed LED lets you know when you can remove a canister safely.
Notice!
Possible loss of data access
Never remove a controller canister, a power-fan canister, or a battery canister unless the
appropriate Service action allowed LED is on.
If a controller canister or a power-fan canister fails and must be replaced, the Service action
required (fault) LED on that canister comes on to indicate that service action is required. The
Service action allowed LED also comes on if it is safe to remove the canister. If data
availability dependencies exist or other conditions that dictate a canister should not be
removed, the Service action allowed LED stays off.
The Service action allowed LED automatically comes on or goes off as conditions change. In
most cases, the Service action allowed LED comes on when the Service action required (fault)
LED comes on for a canister.
If the Service action required (fault) LED comes on but the Service action allowed LED is off
for a particular canister, you might need to service another canister first. Check your storage
management software to determine the action that you should take.
When a service action is required for a controller canister, you must place that controller
offline before removing it from the enclosure. This prerequisite ensures that the storage array
maintains accurate expansion cabling.
On – Power is applied to the drive tray or
the canister.
Off – Power is not applied to the drive
tray or the canister.

12.9Things to know –seven segment display sequence code
definitions on the E2700 controller-drive tray
During normal operation, the tray ID display on each controller canister displays the
controller-drive tray ID. The Diagnostic LED (lower-digit decimal point) comes on when the
display is used for diagnostic codes and goes off when the display is used to show the tray ID.
The category code may be followed by a dash + and a "CF," followed by one of the component
location codes (see Things to know –seven segment component failure identifications for theE2700 controller-drive tray, page 69).
–bb+ = Battery backup (operating on batteries).
–OH + CPU temperature exceeds the warning level
–CF+ = Component failure.
–Sd+ = Start of Day (SOD) processing
Component failureCF+–dx+ = Processor or cache DIMM.
Category delimiter (--)
After (--), a “CF” (for component failure) is
displayed, followed by one of the codes
specified above.
The separator between
category- detail code pairs
is used when more than
one category detail code
pair exists in the sequence.

12.11Things to Know – Lock-Down Codes for the Controller-Drive
Tray
Use the following table to determine the diagnostic lock-down code definitions on the sevensegment display in the controller canister. In general, these diagnostics display only when the
controller is in a non-operational state. The controller can be in a non-operation state as a
result of a configuration problem (such as mismatched controller types) or as a result of a
hardware fault. If the amber controller service action required LED is on, the non-operational
state is the result of a hardware fault.
