4Installation
4.1Installing 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 60kg (132lbs). Four persons are required
to safely move an empty unit. A fully loaded unit weighs approximately 113kg (250lbs). 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.

4.Secure the unit to the front of the cabinet by inserting two screws in the 1st and 3rd
holes (counting down from the top) on each side.
4.2Installing a 60-bay unit with SuperRail
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.

3.Repeat these steps for the right end cap.
4.4Installing 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.

5.1Connecting the expansion units
The expansion units are shipped with the appropriate number of SAS cables.
To connect the components:
4Connect the SAS cable from the SAS port on the controller unit to the SAS port on the
expansion unit.
One expansion unit - dual controller configuration
Two expansion units - two controller configuration
Notice!
You can connect a 60-bay DSAE2800 controller unit to a maximum of two 60-bay DSAE2800
expansion units.
5.2Connecting the controller unit to the network
In case of a Bosch Video Recording Solution a host is an IP camera. To connect the controller
unit 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.
To connect the controller unit to the network:
2020.11 | V2 | DOC

Ethernet port 2 should be reserved for maintenance operations if your hardware contains a
second Ethernet port.

Note: Used as default.
5.4Connecting the units to the power supply
To connect the controller unit and the expansion units to the power supply:
1.Confirm that the two power switches on the controller unit are off.
Note: If you have expansion units, confirm that their power switches are off.

2.Connect the two power cords of the controller unit to different power distribution units
in the cabinet or rack.
Note: If you have expansion units, connect the two cords accordingly.
1 = Power switch
3.If you have expansion units, turn on their two power switches first.
Note: Wait for 2minutes 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 3minutes.
Note:
–The default IP addresses will take approximately 3minutes 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.

6Turning on/off AC power
6.1Turning 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 2minutes 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 3minutes.
Note:
–The default IP addresses will take approximately 3minutes 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

7.Connect all cables if required.
8.Start recording of the cameras.
6.2Turning 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 5minutes.
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 2minutes to allow hard disks to spin down.
5.Disconnect the cables if required.
