Performing initial system configuration

After you receive your PowerEdge FD332 system, you must set up your system in the enclosure. If your storage sled has shipped pre-installed in the enclosure, it is recommended that you remove the sled before you install the enclosure in the rack, to reduce chassis weight.

Setting up your PowerEdge FD332

1. Unpack the storage sled.

NOTE: If your storage sled has shipped pre-installed in the enclosure, remove the sled before installing the enclosure in the rack, to reduce chassis weight. See Removing a storage sled.

NOTE: If you are installing the storage sled in an enclosure that is already powered on, you need not turn off the enclosure to install the storage sled. Only the compute sled(s) to which the storage sled is mapped must be turned off.

2. Turn off the compute sled(s) to which the storage sled is mapped, by using the CMC, iDRAC, or the

power button on the compute sled(s). For information on mapping configurations of storage sleds to compute sleds, see Storage sled mapping configurations.

3. Remove the I/O connector cover from the storage sled connectors.

4. Install the storage sled in the enclosure. See Installing a storage sled.

NOTE: Install the storage sled(s) in the bottom slots of the PowerEdge FX2s enclosure, beginning from the left (slot 3). In the four-bay chassis that supports up to three storage sleds, you can also install a storage sled in the top right slot (slot 2) of the enclosure. For information on sled slot numbering, see the Dell PowerEdge FX2 and FX2s Enclosure Owner's Manual at dell.com/poweredgemanuals.

NOTE: You cannot install the storage sled in the top left slot (slot 1) of the four-bay chassis.

5. Turn on the compute sled(s) to which the storage sled is mapped, by using the iDRAC, CMC, or the

compute sled power button.

NOTE: The storage sled turns on when the compute sled(s) to which it is mapped is/are turned on. For information on the mapping configurations, see Storage sled mapping configurations.

NOTE: If the enclosure is not powered on when you are installing the compute and storage sleds, turn on the enclosure and wait for it to initialize before turning on the compute sled(s).

Managing your system remotely

You can manage and monitor the storage sled by using:

• the Chassis Management Controller (CMC). For more information, see the CMC User’s Guide at

dell.com/esmmanuals.

• the iDRAC of the compute sled to which the storage sled is mapped. For more information, see the

iDRAC User’s Guide at dell.com/esmmanuals.

• the Dell OpenManage Server Administration (OMSA) software. For more information, see dell.com/

openmanagemanuals.

Downloading drivers and firmware

It is recommended that you download and install the latest BIOS, drivers, and systems management firmware on the compute sled to which the storage sled is mapped, and on the chassis infrastructure.

Prerequisites

Ensure that you clear the web browser cache.

The drivers that are applicable to your selection are displayed.

4. Download the drivers you require to a diskette drive, USB drive, CD, or DVD.

Storage sled mapping configurations

The storage controller(s) inside a storage sled map to compute sled(s) in the enclosure. PowerEdge FX2s supports multiple storage sled to compute sled mapping configurations.

NOTE: Storage sled to compute sled mapping is pre-configured.

NOTE: The PowerEdge FM120x4 compute sled does not support the storage sled. You cannot map a storage sled to the PowerEdge FM120x4 half-width compute sled.

For information on configuring the storage mode in the storage sleds, see the PowerEdge FX2/FX2s CMC User’s Guide at dell.com/esmmanuals.

Single PERC and joined mode mapping configurations

CAUTION: Changing the storage sled mapping configuration from Split Single Host mode to Joined mode can change some hard drives/SSDs to non-RAID mode.

The single PERC and joined mode configurations apply to the following:

• The storage sled supports a storage controller module with a single PERC, and all hard drives/SSDs

map to the single PERC.

• The storage sled supports a storage controller module with dual PERCs, but only the primary

controller is enabled by setting the Storage Mode to Joined in the Chassis Management Controller (CMC) interface. All hard drives/SSDs in the storage sled map to the primary PERC in the joined mode.

The following enclosure configurations support single PERC and joined mode mapping.

• Four-bay chassis—controllers inside two storage sleds map to two half-width compute sleds

• Four-bay chassis (one compute sled)—controllers inside three storage sleds map to one half-width

compute sled

• Six-bay chassis—controllers inside two storage sleds map to two quarter-width compute sleds

• Three-bay chassis—controllers inside two storage sleds map to one full-width compute sled

NOTE: PowerEdge FX2s supports multiple single PERC and joined mode mapping configurations. You must select the desired configuration based on your intended usage.

Figure 5. Single PERC/joined mode mapping configuration—four-bay chassis

Figure 6. Single PERC/joined mode mapping configuration—four-bay chassis (one compute sled)

Figure 7. Single PERC/joined mode mapping configuration—six-bay chassis

Figure 8. Single PERC/joined mode mapping configuration—three-bay chassis

Split mode mapping configurations

CAUTION: Changing the storage sled mapping configuration from Joined mode to Split mode can result in loss of configuration and/or loss of access to hard drives/SSDs.

NOTE: When changing the mapping configuration from Joined mode to Split mode, the secondary PERC is powered on. It is recommended that you run the latest PERC firmware Dell Update Package (DUP) to ensure that both PERCs are running the latest firmware.

The split mode mapping configurations apply to the following:

• The storage sled supports a storage controller module with dual PERCs.

• Both controllers are enabled by setting the Storage Mode to split mode in the CMC interface.

In the split mode, eight hard drives/SSDs are assigned map to each PERC. Hard drives/SSDs in slots 0 to 7 map to PERC 1 or primary controller, and hard drives/SSDs in slots 8 to 15 map to PERC 2. For more information, see Drive to storage controller mapping.

There are two split mode options available in the CMC interface:

• Split Single Host mode

• Split Dual Host mode

Split single host mapping configuration

In the split single host mapping configuration, dual controllers inside a storage sled map to a single compute sled.

The following enclosure configurations support split single host mapping.

• Four-bay chassis with two compute sleds—dual controllers inside a storage sled map to a half-width

compute sled.

• Four-bay chassis with one compute sled—dual controllers inside each storage sled map to the single

half-width compute sled.

• Three-bay chassis with one compute sled—dual controllers inside each storage sled map to the single

full-width compute sled.

NOTE: PowerEdge FX2s supports multiple split single host mapping configurations. You must select the desired configuration based on your intended usage.

Figure 9. Split single host mapping configuration—four-bay chassis

Figure 10. Split single host mapping configuration—four-bay chassis (one compute sled)

Figure 11. Split single host mapping configuration—three-bay chassis

Split dual host mapping configuration

In the split dual host mapping configuration, dual controllers inside one storage sled are mapped to two different compute sleds.

NOTE: PowerEdge FX2s supports multiple split dual host mapping configurations. You must select the desired configuration based on your intended usage.

The following are examples of split dual host mapping configurations.

Figure 12. Split dual host configuration—four-bay chassis

Figure 13. Split dual host configuration—four-bay chassis

Figure 14. Split dual host configuration—six-bay chassis

Drive to storage controller mapping

Your system supports up to sixteen 2.5 inch SAS/SATA hard drives/SSDs. When you install a storage controller module with a single PERC, all the drives map to the single PERC.

When you install a storage controller module with dual PERCs, the drives in slots 0 to 7 map to PERC 1 or the primary controller. The drives in slots 8 to 15 map to PERC 2 or the secondary controller.

NOTE: In the split single host storage mode, the storage controller enumeration in the PERC BIOS Configuration (Ctrl+R) utility is different from the enumeration in the iDRAC and Human Interface Infrastructure (HII) interfaces. In the Ctrl+R utility, the secondary controller is listed before the primary controller. It is recommended that you review the Ctrl+R slot information detail to determine the appropriate controller. For example, Slot 0x31, where 3 refers to the storage sled slot number and 1 refers to the controller 1. Similarly, in Slot 0x32, 3 refers to the storage sled slot number and 2 refers to controller 2.
