Warning!

Risk of electrical shock
If there is evidence of fire, water, or structural damage, never turn on the power to the
equipment.

Warning!

Risk of electrical shock
Before removing or installing a power supply, turn off the power switch, and unplug the
power cord.

Warning!

Risk of exposure to laser radiation
Do not disassemble or remove any part of a Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) transceiver
because you might be exposed to laser radiation.

Warning!

Risk of bodily injury
The battery can weigh up to 10.9 kg (24 lb). When you remove the battery, be prepared to
support its weight. If the battery is dropped, the impact might cause bodily injury, including
deep puncture wounds caused by the battery pins.

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.

Warning!

Risk of bodily injury
Attach the stability foot before moving the cabinet. If you do not attach the stability foot, the
cabinet might become unstable, or it might fall. This problem is most likely to occur when the
cabinet is moved along inclined surfaces or over uneven surfaces.

Warning!

Risk of bodily injury
Only move a populated cabinet with a forklift or adequate help from other persons. Always
push the cabinet from the front to prevent it from falling over.
A fully populated cabinet can weigh more than 909 kg (2000 lb). The cabinet is difficult to
move, even on a flat surface. If you must move the cabinet along an inclined surface, remove
the components from the top half of the cabinet, and make sure that you have adequate help.

Warning!

Risk of fire or chemical burn
Before disposing of a used battery, review the battery warning label. The label reads: The
battery used in this device may present a risk of fire or chemical burn if mistreated. DO NOT
disassemble, heat above 60ºC (140ºF), crush or puncture, short circuit external contacts, or
dispose of in fire or water. Use appropriate charger only. Replace only with original batteries.

4 Installing the mounting rails

Prerequisites:

– The mounting rails are designed to fit into a standard 48.3-cm (19-in.) wide cabinet.
– There must be a minimum depth of 76 cm (30 in.) between the front adjustable rail and

the rear adjustable rail.

– Each tray requires two standard mounting rack units (2U) of vertical space in the cabinet.

Figure4.1: Mounting rails

1 Cabinet mounting holes 3 Mounting rail

2 Adjustment screws for locking the

length of the mounting rails

4 Clip for securing the rear of the

controller-drive tray

To install the mounting rails:

1. Position the mounting rails in the cabinet.
– If you are installing the mounting rails above an existing tray, position the mounting

rails directly above the tray.

– If you are installing the mounting rails below an existing tray, allow 8.9-cm (3.5-in.)

vertical clearance for the controller-drive tray.

2. Starting with the left mounting rail, use a flat-blade screwdriver to loosen the two flat­head rail adjustment screws. Hold the front of the left mounting rail against the inside of
the front cabinet-mounting flange, and then extend the rear of the mounting rail until it
makes contact with the rear cabinet-mounting flange. The alignment pins at the rear of
the mounting rail should slide into the holes at the rear of the cabinet.

3. From the front of the cabinet, with the mounting-rail flanges inside of the cabinet’s
mounting rail assemblies, use the Phillips screwdriver to loosely tighten only the lower
screw.

4. From the rear of the cabinet, use the Phillips screwdriver to loosely tighten the two
screws. Do not completely tighten the screws until you have installed the controller-drive
tray in the cabinet.

5. Repeat step 1 through step 4 for the right mounting rail.

6. Tighten the flat-head rail adjustment screws on both mounting rails.

5 Installing the controller-drive tray

Warning!

Risk of bodily injury

Two persons are required to safely lift the component.

Notice!

When installing tray hardware, load the cabinet so as not to make it top-heavy. One approach
is to place the controller-drive tray in the middle portion of the cabinet while allowing room
for expansion drive trays to be placed above and below the controller-drive tray.

To install the controller:

1. With the help of one other person, remove the controller-drive tray from the shipping box.

2. Using two people, lift and rest the tray on the bottom ledge of the left and right rails.
Note: Each tray is installed in an empty 2U slot in the cabinet.

3. Carefully slide the tray into the cabinet until the front mounting flanges are flushed with
the vertical face of the cabinet and the rear edges of the tray fit into the clips on the
support rails.

4. Secure the front of the tray by inserting a screw through the center hole in each front
mounting flange.

5. Secure the rear of the tray by inserting a screw through the hole in each rear mounting
flange and into each support rail.

6. Verify that the controller power switches and cabinet circuit breakers are turned off.
Then, connect each tray power supply to separate cabinet power sources.

7. Install the end caps that cover the mounting flanges on the front of the storage array tray:
– Place the end cap over the tab so the tab can go into the slot.
– Snap the bottom of the end cap into place.

7 Connecting 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.

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.

9 Turning on/off AC power

9.1 Turning on AC power

Make sure the Ethernet cable is connected to the management host. The default IP addresses
will take three minutes to initialize from the time the network is attached.
The default IP addresses are:
– Controller A, Port 1: 192.168.128.101
– Controller B, Port 1: 192.168.128.102

Notice!

DHCP is attempted for the first three minutes of attaching the network cables. If a DHCP
lease was not offered within this time, the controllers will use the default addresses.

To turn on power to controller-drive trays and drive trays:

1. Connect the cabinet to the power supply.

2. Turn on the power distribution units (PDUs).

3. Turn on the expansion drive trays and wait for 2minutes to allow hard disks to spin up.
Note: If you do not have expansion drive trays, skip to the next step.

4. Turn on the controller-drive trays and wait for 3minutes.
Note: The default IP addresses will take three minutes to initialize from the time the
network is attached.

5. Check the tray status.
– Confirm that the green Power LED is steady green, both on the tray and on each

drive in the tray.

– If all tray and drive Power LEDs are steady green, and the amber Service Action

Required LEDs are off, the power-on sequence is complete and no faults have been
detected.

6. Connect all cables if required.

7. Start recording of the cameras.

– Device view, page 11

9.2 Turning off AC power

We recommend turning off the system when moving the system to another location and
upgrading or replacing the hardware, for example.
To turn off power to controller-drive trays and drive trays:

1. Stop recording of the cameras and wait for 5minutes.

2. Ensure there are no background operations in progress (check in user interface: Monitor
> Reports > Operations in Progress).

3. Turn off the controller-drive trays and wait that all LEDs are off.

4. Turn off the expansion drive trays and wait for 2minutes to allow hard disks to spin
down.

5. Disconnect the cables if required.
