DVAS Series | Instruction Manual | Product Introduction

1PRODUCT INTRODUCTION

DVAS Series Digital Video Array is a high speed, fault tolerant RAID subsystem design. It uses a mid-plane design to eliminate the problems associated with cable interconnects. Unlike conventional RAID products, the DVAS Series disk array uses ATA disk drives to store RAID data, rather than high cost SCSI or Fiber Channel disks. Its advanced electronic soft-start technology makes hot-swappable ATA drives very reliable.

2.1 Safety Concerns

•Computer components and disk drives are sensitive to static charge. Take precautions to divert any electrostatic charge from your person before and while handling the components with your hands or any tools.

•Before removing Controllers or Power Supplies, ensure that the system is powered down and disconnected from the main socket.

• Ensure correct lifting methods are used when handling the DVAS Series disk array. Special care should be taken when removing the DVAS Series disk array from its packaging and positioning it in the required location.

• When installing DVAS Series disk array as a rack-mounted component, ensure that all fixtures are secure. All bolts and screws should be fully tightened. Failure to comply with this may result in the unit not being fully supported in the rack and could lead to the product dropping out of rack or falling onto other rack components.

•EMC Regulations require that all data and network cables be the shielded type. Special care should be taken to ensure that the network cable is shielded and that the shield is connected at both ends.

WA RN ING: Electrostatic-sensitive device. Use proper CMOS/MOSFET handling precautions to avoid electrostatic discharge.

NOTE: Grounded wrist straps must be worn and proper ESD safety precautions observed when handling the electrostaticsensitive printed circuit boards.

3PHYSICAL COMPONENTS

3.1 Power Supplies

3.1.1 Insertion

Pull the handle of the Power Supply Unit (PSU) so that it is at 90° to the main PSU unit. Line up the PSU with the guide rails in the DVAS Series. Insert the PSU gently until it comes to a halt, then close the handle and secure it in place with the attached screw.

3.1.2 Removal

Turn off the power switch. Disconnect the power cord, loosening the cable clamp if necessary. Loosen the screw on the power supply by turning it counterclockwise. Pull out the handle of the PSU so that it is 90° to the chassis. While supporting the weight of the PSU during removal, use the handle to pull the power supply free from the chassis.

If your DVAS has the dual redundant power supply option, it is permissible to remove and replace a faulty power supply while the unit is operational. Only remove a power supply from a working unit if it is faulty and a replacement is on-site. Removing a PSU when no replacement is immediately available may result in overheating and shutdown. When removing a faulty power supply, be sure to remove the correct one; faulty power supplies have no green status LED illuminated on the rear panel.

3.2 RAID Controller

3.2.1 Insertion

A RAID controller should not be inserted while the unit is powered on. Shut down before replacing a faulty RAID controller.

Insert the RAID controller into its slot, lining up the metal runners with the internal guides. Firmly push the RAID controller fully into the chassis until the side clips click into place.

3.2.2 Removal

Power down before removing a faulty controller.

Push the controller side clips inward (towards each other). While supporting the weight of the unit, use the handles to pull the controller free from the unit.

3.3 Hard Drive Assemblies

3.3.1 Insertion

Align the disk carrier with an available disk slot. Ensure that the handle is open and the carrier push button is toward the bottom of the chassis. Push the disk carrier until fully inserted, then close the handle and push in the carrier button to secure the chassis in place.

3.3.2 Removal

Do not remove a disk while in operation within a RAID set, as this will cause the RAID set to degrade. Only remove a disk marked as bad by the GUI and having an amber LED illuminated beneath it. To remove a disk, push the button on the disk carrier, releasing the handle. Gently pull the bottom of the handle toward you and wait for ten seconds for the disk to stop spinning, then continue sliding the disk out of the chassis.

Disk drives are sensitive to static electricity and physical shock. Observe proper ESD precautions and handle with care.

Status Indicators

Figure 4 LED Display

LED Status

Temperature and Ventilation Status GREEN LED indicates that blowers are operating at an acceptable RPM, and the internal

temperature sensors are within acceptable limits.

Alternating GREEN and RED LED indicates a predicted blower failure, or rapid temperature increase.

RED LED indicates that a blower has failed, or the unit is too hot; an audible alarm will also sound.

Power Supply Status GREEN LED indicates both power supplies are functional.

RED LED indicates either power supply has failed; an audible alarm sounds. In this case, the LEDs on each power supply should be examined to determine which has failed.

IMPORTANT:

• Inadvertently removing the functional, surviving power supply will result in system failure and possible data loss.

•A failed power supply or blower should be replaced as quickly as possible. Do not remove the failed power supply until a replacement is on hand. Continued operation with a failed power supply or blower will result in a dramatic, irreversible reduction in system life.

Management Alarm GREEN LED indicates normal status.

RED LED indicates a RAID controller board error.

Silence Button Insert a paper clip to silence the audible alarm, or to confirm creation of a RAID set.

Disk Drive Alarm AMBER LED indicates that a drive is suspected to be bad.

Disk Drive Activity GREEN LED indicates that an installed drive is in a ‘ready’ state. During activity, the LED will

flicker.

DVAS | Instruction Manual | Before You Begin

6BEFORE YOU BEGIN

Ensure the following:

• Installation environment is less than 40°C.

• The front drive bays and rear ventilation panels are not obstructed.

•Main Power is sufficient to handle the load of the system.

• Rack is properly grounded.

Tips for Rack-mounting:

•Remove the power supplies and hard disk canisters to make the system lighter.

•Request assistance to lift the unit into the rack.

•Do not to trap fingers or items of clothing.

• Ensure all fixtures are secure and bolts and screws are fully tightened.

6.1 Basic Installation Steps

1. Attach the SCSI cable from the DVR to the DVAS.

If only one DVR is connected to the DVAS, ensure that the cable is connected to Channel 0. Refer to SECTION 4.0, PRODUCT OVERVIEW.

2. Attach the power cord(s) to the disk array and apply power to the unit.

If an audible alarm is heard, the DVAS unit does not have a RAID group configured, or no disks are present.

3. Wait one minute and apply power to the DVR unit.

4. Configure the DVR for archiving (see DVR instruction manual).

5. Depending upon the model purchased, the DVAS unit is preconfigured.

For your convenience, DVAS disk arrays are shipped with drives preconfigured for RAID.

These configurations suit most applications, but if not, or to use additional features, you must set up the network connection and access the GUI. See SECTION 6.2, Setting up the Network Connection.

Use the GUI interface to:

•Add a Hot Spare.

•Add Drive(s) (if storage is expanded, the entire RAID must be reconstructed).

• Change the allocation of storage (only applicable if two DVRs are connected to a single DVAS).

•Monitor the DVAS system.

•Use the e-mail alert feature (warnings and error messages can be e-mailed to a specified address).

•Attach two DVRs to a DVAS0416 or a DVAS0816 unit (see Quick Configuration page).

•Attach only one DVR to a DVAS1416 (see Quick Configuration page).

6.2 Setting up the Network Connection

To use the web-based GUI, perform the following:

1. Attach a network cable from the DVAS’s Ethernet port to a network. A simple crossover cable can be used from a PC to the DVAS’s Ethernet port.

2. Access any computer on the network.

If no crossover cable was used to connect the unit to a network, the network’s subnet mask may not allow access to this IP address without some reconfiguration. Access the DVAS Series disk array via a shell or DOS prompt on the host computer and enter the following command.

Windows®: route add 10.11.12.13 mask 255.255.255.255 <workstation IP number>

Linux:

/sbin/route add 10.11.12.13/32 gw <workstation IP number>

Solaris:

route add 10.11.12.13 mask 255.255.255.255 <workstation IP number>

Where <Workstation IP number> refers to the IP address of the workstation being used. The DVAS Series disk array’s web interface is now accessible via a standard browser (Netscape or Internet Explorer).
