4 Installation

4.1 Installing a 60-bay unit

You can install the unit in a four-post rack or system cabinet. Observe the following: – You can install the unit in either a square-hole or round-hole rack. – If you are installing the unit in a cabinet not provided by Bosch:

– Ensure that the rack is adequate for the weight and size of the unit to be installed. – Calculate the thermal output of your equipment and compare the results with the

target system cabinet's thermal rating. You might need to remove the system cabinet doors to improve airflow through the system cabinet. For thermal rating information refer to the rack or system cabinet manuals provided by the manufacturer.

– You must use only the screws that are provided in the kit.

Notice!

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

To install a 60-bay controller unit or expansion unit:

1. If you are lifting and moving the unit by hand, attach the four handles. Push up on each handle until it clicks into place.

2. Place the back of the unit (the end with the connectors) on the rails. Caution: An empty unit weighs approximately 60kg (132lbs). Four persons are required to safely move an empty unit. A fully loaded unit weighs approximately 113kg (250lbs). A mechanical lift is required to safely move the unit.

3. Supporting the unit from the bottom, slide the unit into the cabinet. If you are using the handles, use the thumb latches to detach the handles as you slide the unit in.

2020.11 | V2 | DOC

1. Determine where you want to install the unit in the rack or system cabinet. Note: Whenever possible, install the units from the bottom of the rack up, so that you can use the units underneath as a guide for installing the next set of rails.

2. Attach the rails to the rack or system cabinet as follows: – Hook in the left rail in the adapter brackets and tighten all screws completely to hold

the rail firmly in place.

– Repeat this step for the right rail.

3. Place the back of the unit (the end with the connectors) on the rails. Caution: An empty unit weighs approximately 60kg (132lbs). Four persons are required to safely move an empty unit. A fully loaded unit weighs approximately 113kg (250lbs). A mechanical lift is required to safely move the unit.

4. Carefully slide the unit all the way onto the rails. Note: If applicable, you might need to remove the end caps or the system bezel to secure the unit to the rack post. Replace the system bezel when you are done. Note: Do not place additional equipment on the rails after you finish installing the unit. The rails are not designed to bear additional weight.

7. If applicable, replace the end caps or the system bezel.

4.3 Installing the front bezel and end caps

A front bezel covers the front of the controller unit and the expansion unit, while left and right end caps cover the mounting flanges on each unit. To install the front bezel:

2020.11 | V2 | DOC

Quick Installation Guide

Bosch Security Systems B.V.

DSA E-Series (E2800 60-bay) Installation | en 19

1. Position the front bezel in front of the controller unit or the expansion unit so that the holes at each end align with the fasteners on the unit.

2. Snap the bezel into place.

To install the end caps:

1. Position the left end cap in front of the controller unit or the expansion unit so that the holes in the end cap align with the fasteners on the left side of the unit.

2. Snap the end cap into place.

3. Repeat these steps for the right end cap.

4.4 Installing the drives

Notice!

To avoid damaging the hardware, never move a unit if drives are installed. Remove all drives before moving the unit.

To install the drives:

1. Put on the ESD wristband to protect the drives from static electricity.

2. Release the levers on the top drive drawer. Then, slide the drawer out by using the levers.

3. Raise the handle on the drive to vertical.

Bosch Security Systems B.V.

4. Starting with the leftmost slot at the front, align the two raised buttons on the drive with the notches on the drawer. Then, pressing gently on the top of the drive, rotate the drive handle down until the drive snaps into place.

5. Install the remaining drives. Observe the following if you are installing fewer than 60 drives, SSD drives or drives with different capacities: Install drives in the front four slots of each drawer (a minimum of 20 drives in each unit) to maintain adequate airflow for cooling. – Distribute any remaining drives across the drawers. If possible, install an equal

number of each type of drive in each drawer to allow for the creation of Drawer Loss Protected volume groups or disk pools.

– Distribute any SSD drives evenly across the drawers.

6. Slide the drawer back in by sliding it from the center and closing both levers gently.

7. Attach the bezel to the front of the unit.

Note:

– The default IP addresses will take approximately 3minutes to initialize from the time

the network is attached. – Do not turn off the power switches during the power-on process. – The fans are very loud when they first start up. The loud noise during start-up is

normal.

5. Check the LEDs and the seven-segment display on the back of each controller. Note: The seven-segment display shows a repeating sequence (OS, Sd, blank) to indicate that the controller is performing start-of-day processing. After the controller has started, the display shows the tray ID.

6. If any of the amber LEDs are on, there might be a problem with a component. Confirm you completed the installation steps correctly. If you are unable to resolve the problem, contact your local Bosch Technical Support team.

DSA E-Series (E2800 60-bay) Turning on/off AC power | en 25

6 Turning on/off AC power

6.1 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 the controller unit or the expansion units:

1. Connect the cabinet to the power supply.

2. Turn on the power distribution units of the cabinet.

3. If you have expansion units, turn on their two power switches first. Note: Wait for 2minutes to allow hard disks to spin up before applying power to the controller unit.

4. Turn on the two power switches on the controller unit and wait approximately 3minutes.

Note:

– The default IP addresses will take approximately 3minutes to initialize from the time

the network is attached. – Do not turn off the power switches during the power-on process. – The fans are very loud when they first start up. The loud noise during start-up is

normal.

7. Connect all cables if required.

8. Start recording of the cameras.

6.2 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 the controller unit or the expansion units:

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

2. Ensure there are no background operations in progress.

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

4. Turn off the expansion units and wait for 2minutes to allow hard disks to spin down.

5. Disconnect the cables if required.
