same power circuit. Otherwise you run the risk of losing data if, for example, the
ETERNUS CS800 server unit is still running but a storage subsystem fails during a
power outage.
l Data cables must be adequately shielded.
l The EN 50173 and EN 50174-1/2 standards apply for LAN cabling. The minimum
requirement is the use of a category 5 screened LAN cable for 10/100 Mbit/s
Ethernet, or a category 5e cable for Gigabit Ethernet. The requirements from the
ISO/IEC 11801 specification must also be met.
l Route the cables in such a way that they do not create a potential hazard (make
sure no-one can trip over them) and that they cannot be damaged.
l Never connect or disconnect data transmission lines during a storm (risk of
lightning strike).
l Make sure that no objects (e.g. jewelry, paper-clips etc.) or liquids can get inside
the system (risk of electric shock, short circuit).

2.5 Data Reduction
Data reduction is the process of reducing the amount of storage capacity required to store
your data. The ETERNUS CS800 systems provide two techniques to optimize the storage
space required on your system:
Maximum
Capacity
120 TB
l "Data Deduplication" on page 31
l "Compression" on page 31
ETERNUS CS800 30
Page 31
2.5.1 Data Deduplication
The ETERNUS CS800 system disk backup and replication systems use Fujitsu Technology
Solutions patented data deduplication technology to dramatically increase the role that
disk can play in data protection. With ETERNUS CS800 solutions, users can retain 10 to 50
times more backup data on fast recovery disk than with conventional arrays. This
advantage allows IT departments to cost-effectively retain months of backup data on disk
for faster, more reliable restores and more data recovery points. Fujitsu’s innovative
implementation of this core technology means that users do not have to compromise on
performance to take advantage of extended retention capability. Inline data flow provides
streamlined deduplication that offers a maximum combination of total system
performance, manageability, and value.
Fujitsu's deduplication technology uses a sub-file, variable-length approach to identify
redundant blocks in a data stream—blocks that have appeared before in the same dataset
or in datasets processed at an earlier time. When a block appears that has already been
stored, the ETERNUS CS800 system inserts a reference pointer to the earlier instance of the
data segment instead of storing another copy. The result is a dramatic reduction in the
storage capacity needed to store the data set, and a similar reduction in the bandwidth
needed to replicate deduplicated data sets over a network.
2.5 Data Reduction
2.5.2 Compression
The ETERNUS CS800 systems use compression technology after duplicate blocks have been
identified and replaced as part of the deduplication process. With compression, unique
data that has been through the data deduplication process can be compressed at a typical
ratio of approximately 2:1. This enables you to maximize the storage capacity of your
system.
ETERNUS CS800 31
Page 32
2.6 Space Reclamation
The space reclamation process performs multiple functions on the ETERNUS CS800.
When data is deduplicated it is stored in a block pool - a pool of all unique data blocks
that were captured during the data deduplication cycle. When subsequent backup jobs
occur, the data deduplication engine searches for new data entering the ETERNUS CS800
and uses a variable length compression algorithm to compare new data to existing data
in the block pool. Unique blocks are added to the block pool and known blocks are
indexed.
The space reclamation function searches the blockpool for data blocks that are not
referenced by any pointers (that is, the files associated with the block have been expired
and removed). Once such a data block is identified, the block is removed to make the
space reusable.
For correct system operation, space reclamation must be run at regular intervals (at least
once a week). Fujitsu Technology Solutions recommends creating a schedule to
automatically run space reclamation (see "Scheduling Space Reclamation" on page 269).
2.6 Space Reclamation
It may be beneficial to schedule space reclamation for a time when other operations are
not normally being carried out. Therefore it is important to know when to schedule the
space reclamation process. As best practice it is recommended that this process
commences at least two hours after your backup job has completed on a daily basis. It is
far more efficient to process a day’s worth of new data than a week’s worth.
2.7 Remote Replication
Today most backup occurs on isolated devices, making it difficult to deploy disk backup
when disaster recovery protection is required. ETERNUS CS800 solutions use data
deduplication and replication to decrease by up to 50 times the bandwidth required to
move backup data over networks and between sites. This dramatic gain makes it practical
and cost-effective for users to replicate backup data over WANs for secure, network-based
disaster recovery protection, and it lets users combine rapid, local restores with sound
disaster recovery protection.
With ETERNUS CS800 replication, users can transmit data from a single site or multiple
sites to a central location using any ETERNUS CS800.The replication is an asynchronous,
automated background process that includes encryption of data in transit. This model for
protecting the distributed enterprise allows users to combine disk, replication, and tape
for an optimal combination of performance, simplicity, and security.
For more information on implementing a replication plan, see "ETERNUS CS800 Replication
Overview" on page 340.
ETERNUS CS800 32
Page 33
A ETERNUS CS800 can only replicate data to an ETERNUS CS800 that supports the
same protocol as the ETERNUS CS800 (NAS or VTL). That is, an ETERNUS CS800 VTL
system can only replicate data to a ETERNUS CS800 that supports VTL.
2.8 Storage Presentation
The ETERNUS CS800 presents its disk storage using multiple protocols:
l "Virtual Tape Storage" on page 33
l "Network Attached Storage (NAS)" on page 34
l "OpenStorage (OST)" on page 35
2.8.1 Virtual Tape Storage
A virtual tape storage or virtual tape library (VTL) presentation allows the storage space
on these hard drives to appear to the backup application as tape cartridges (DLT or LTO).
Data is stored on the hard drives through an interface that appears as a tape library, with
virtual cartridges, virtual drives, and a virtual changer mechanism. An ETERNUS CS800
with a VTL or Multi-Protocol configuration can be configured to present multiple VTL
interfaces of different sizes and types at once. This allows backup applications to recognize
and integrate a ETERNUS CS800 system into a data center environment just like one or
more physical tape libraries. ETERNUS CS800 provides a number of tape drive and library
emulations including the tape drive emulations:
2.8 Storage Presentation
l IBM LTO-1,LTO-2, LTO-3, LTO-4, or LTO-5
l HP LTO-1,LTO-2, LTO-3, LTO-4, or LTO-5
and the library emulations:
l Fujitsu CS-TL
l ADIC Scalar i2000, or ADIC Scalar i500
ETERNUS CS800 33
Page 34
Figure 4: Virtual Tape Library (VTL)
2.8 Storage Presentation
2.8.2 Network Attached Storage (NAS)
The ETERNUS CS800 system has the ability to serve as a NAS backup system (see "Network
Attached Storage (NAS)" on page 34) where the following protocols are supported:
l "CIFS/SMB Protocol" on page 34
l "NFS Protocol" on page 35
l "Application Specific Protocol" on page 35
Figure 5: NAS Backup using CIFS/SMB and NFS
NAS shares are optimized for backup (i.e. typically large files) rather than file
sharing. When used with many small files, the performance may be degraded.
2.8.2.1 CIFS/SMB Protocol
The CIFS/SMB (Common Internet File System) protocol defines a standard for remote file
access from many computers at a time in Windows environments.
ETERNUS CS800 34
Page 35
2.8 Storage Presentation
Active Directory Support
The ETERNUS CS800 supports ADS (Active Directory Services) as well as ACLs (Access Control
Lists). This provides the following benefits:
l Compatibility with CIFS/SMB domains - NAS shares are able to join CIFS/SMB domains
and use domain authentication.
l Precise control of file system permissions - Administrators can specify which users
and groups can perform what actions.
l Robust administrative support - Administrators have the same implicit permissions as
they do in Windows operating systems.
Windows 2008, Windows 2008 R2, and Windows 2012 R2 are supported for Active
Directory domain membership.
When you create a CIFS/SMB share, the initial permissions are the same as the
default permissions for a Windows 2003 share with the addition of an ACE (Access
Control Entry) that permits full access to the share for all authenticated users.
Administrators can choose to remove this full access ACE, set up custom permissions,
or leave the ACL (Access Control List) as is if the server is set up in a fully trusted
environment.
2.8.2.2 NFS Protocol
The NFS (Network File System) protocol allows network users to access shared files stored
on computers of different types. NFS provides access to shared files through an interface
called the Virtual File System (VFS) that runs on top of TCP/IP. With NFS, computers
connected to a network operate as clients while accessing remote files, and as servers
while providing remote users access to local shared files. This protocol is used with UNIX
and Linux networks. It can also be used with Windows networks.
2.8.2.3 Application Specific Protocol
The Application Specific Protocol allows users to create Oracle Recovery Manager (RMAN)
shares on an ETERNUS CS800 system. RMAN provides the foundation for efficiently backing
up and recovering an Oracle database.
2.8.3 OpenStorage (OST)
With the OST presentation, the ETERNUS CS800 system presents storage servers to a
Symantec NetBackup or Backup Exec media server through a specific Symantec protocol. A
storage server consists of logical storage units (LSUs), which are similar to directories in a
NAS file system or tape cartridges in a VTL partition.
ETERNUS CS800 35
Page 36
2.9 Path to tape (PTT)
The OST presentation requires the Symantec NetBackup (7.1.x or later) or Backup Exec
2010 R3 or later host application and the OST Plug-in client installation on the media
server.
Windows 2012 64-bit requires Symantec NetBackup (7.6 or later) or Backup Exec
2014 or later.
Plug-in clients are host-OS dependent and are supplied by Fujitsu Technology Solutions. To
use the ETERNUS CS800 in OST mode, you must configure an OST storage server and LSUs
on the ETERNUS CS800. You must also map the LSUs on the NetBackup server so that
NetBackup can perform backups and restore from them. Additionally, policies for
optimized duplication (OST replication) and OST direct to tape may need to be set on the
NetBackup server.
Figure 6: OpenStorage (OST) Example
2.9 Path to tape (PTT)
The path to tape (PTT) capability allows writing data stored in the ETERNUS CS800 to a
tape library which is attached to an FC port of the ETERNUS CS800 system. With path to
tape, backup data can be moved directly from the ETERNUS CS800 system to a tape library
without the need to travel through a backup host. A common use case for PTT is to create
removable media for long term storage. Path to tape is available on all ETERNUS CS800
models with FC port option. PTT is supported by a number of backup applications
including:
l Symantec™ NetBackup™
l Symantec™ Backup Exec
l Oracle® Secure Backup

2.10 ETERNUS CS800 Advanced Reporting
Fujitsu Technology Solutions ETERNUS CS800 Advanced Reporting works with all ETERNUS
CS800-Series disk backup systems. ETERNUS CS800 Advanced Reporting combines
comprehensive performance data logging with powerful visual reporting and analysis
tools to help you identify potential problems and optimize system operation. For more
information, refer to the Advanced Reporting User’s Guide.
2.10 ETERNUS CS800 Advanced Reporting
2.11 Network Configuration
During network configuration, each individual interface on the ETERNUS CS800 can be
configured as a subnet with its own network settings. Each physical Ethernet port can be
configured as an interface. In addition, you can also create bonded interfaces (logical
ports) consisting of two or more physical ports.
Keep in mind that any traffic can pass through any of the configured Ethernet ports. This
means that the routing of different traffic types, as well as firewall capability, must be
controlled using the network infrastructure (routers and switches) that the ETERNUS CS800
is connected to.
For more information about configuration network settings, see "Network" on page 293.
Each configured network interface requires its own set of network settings (IP
address, network mask, and gateway).
CAUTION!
For effective bonded network use, a properly configured network switch is required.
The ETERNUS CS800 bonding settings must match the switch settings. If the switch
settings and the ETERNUS CS800 settings do not match, your system may become
inaccessible through the switch.
Each configured network interface requires its own set of network settings (IP
address, network mask, and gateway). of Linux.
ETERNUS CS800 37

2.11 Network Configuration
CAUTION!
For effective bonded network use, a properly configured network switch is required.
(A network switch is not supplied with the ETERNUS CS800).The ETERNUS CS800
bonding settings must match the switch settings. If the switch settings and the
ETERNUS CS800 settings do not match, your system may become inaccessible
through the switch.
Performance Guidelines
The throughput and resilience of a ETERNUS CS800 depends on various parameters,
such as
l on the model and configuration level (Entry/Scale, interfaces, the number of disk
drives)
l the data which should be backed up (deduplicable, compressible, new or already
stored in the blockpool)
l the backup software and the method used by it
l the client operating system
l the presentation layer (NFS, CIFS/SMB, VTL, OST)
l non-backup jobs performed in parallel (replication, space reclamation)
Therefore a general recommendation cannot be given here. As a rough guideline only: If
each backup file/job written concurrently to the system is considered as a stream,
maximum of throughput is reached with 16 to 32 (Scale) or 5 to 16 (Entry) streams in
parallel. The
given ranges are appropriate for the configuration levels and the presentation layers used
in parallel.
NAS shares provided by ETERNUS CS800 are optimized for backup. Using NAS shares
to store many small files may degrade the throughput of the system (e.g. inline
throughput, replication) significantly.

3.1.3 Connecting the servers to the mains
The ETERNUS CS800 servers are equipped with two hot-plug power supply units. If one
power supply unit is defective, then the other guarantees unimpaired operation. Each hotplug power supply unit can be replaced during operation.
ETERNUS CS800 47
Page 48
CAUTION!
The server is automatically set to a mains voltage in the range 100 V - 240 V.
You may only operate the server if its rated voltage range corresponds to the
local mains voltage.
Connect the power cord with the insulated connector to the power supply unit of the
server, and plug the power plug into a grounded outlet on the mains socket strip on
the rack (see Technical Manual of the rack).
A phase redundancy in the power supply of the server can be set up if each of
the power supply units is either connected to two different phases or to two
separate circuits of the internal power supply network.
Using the cable clamp
You can secure the power cords in a cable clamp to ensure that the insulated connectors
cannot be disconnected from the server accidentally.
3.1 Server
Figure 12: Cable clamp
1. Pull the cable clamp up (2).
2. Thread the power cord through the cable clamp (1).
3. Press the cable clamp down until it engages to secure the cable (3).
ETERNUS CS800 48
Page 49
Notes on connecting/disconnecting cables
CAUTION!
l Always read the documentation supplied with the device you wish to
connect.
l Never connect or disconnect cables during a thunderstorm.
l Never pull on a cable when disconnecting it. Always take hold of the cable
by the plug. Be sure to wait for 10 seconds or more after shutdown before
turning the server on.
l Follow the sequences described below to connect or disconnect external
devices to or from the server:
Connecting cables
Turn off all power and equipment switches
Disconnect all power plugs from the properly grounded power outlets.
Connect all cables to the server and peripherals.
3.1 Server
Plug all data communication cables into the utility sockets.
Plug all power cords into the properly grounded power outlets.
Disconnecting cables
Turn off all power and equipment switches.
Disconnect all power plugs from the properly grounded power outlets.
Unplug all data communication cables from the utility sockets.
Disconnect the relevant cables from the server and all the peripherals
For connecting or disconnecting LAN cables, the server does not need to be
powered off. To avoid loss of data either stop the I/O or make sure the cable is
redundant, i.e. a member of a bond.
Information for ensuring electromagnetic compatibility.
All data and signal cables must have sufficient shielding. The use of cable type S/FTP Cat5e
or better is recommended. Use of unshielded or badly shielded cables may lead to
increased emission of interference and/or reduced fault-tolerance of the device.

The rack systems from Fujitsu (PRIMECENTER Rack) support the installation of ETERNUS
CS800 S6 components. Installation in most current rack systems from other manufacturers
is also supported.
To ensure proper ventilation, any unused areas in the rack must be sealed using dummy
covers. Ventilation takes place from the front to the back and may not be obstructed! The
power is supplied via the multiple socket outlets fitted in the rack.
PRIMECENTER Rack
The main features of the rack systems from Fujitsu are as follows:
l rail systems that can be mounted without tools
l support systems having a linear alignment feature to ensure that they can be adjusted
to different rack depths
Asymmetrical PRIMECENTER Rack provides an enhanced cable management in the lateral
rack area.
Installation of the cable management is described in detail in the Technical Manual for the
respective rack.
3rd Party Racks
Installation in most current rack systems from other manufacturers (3rd party racks)
is also supported. For details please contact your sales representative.
For detailed information about PRIMECENTER rack, see the following manual:

5 Installing the ETERNUS CS800 S6 Modules
It is recommended to install the ETERNUS CS800 system in a controlled or
restricted area to prevent access by untrained personnel. In addition, it is
recommended that system installation is performed only by qualified IT
personnel.
Installing the ETERNUS CS800modules in a rack consists of the following steps:
1. "Locating the Mounting Position" on page 77
2. "Installing the components in the rack" on page 80
3. "Cabling the ETERNUS CS800 S6 System" on page 87
Necessary tools
Provide the following tools for unpacking and installing the ETERNUS CS800 system:
l #2 Phillips and Torx 20 screwdriver
Taking ESD precautions
Some components within the ETERNUS CS800 system contain static-sensitive parts. To
avoid damaging these parts while performing installation procedures, always observe the
following precautions:
l Keep the system turned off during all installation procedures.
l Keep static-sensitive parts in their original shipping containers until ready for
installation.
l Do not place static-sensitive parts on a metal surface. Place them inside their
protective shipping bag or on an antistatic mat.
l Avoid touching connectors and other components.
Dry climates and cold-weather heating environments have lower relative
humidity and are more likely to produce static electricity.
CAUTION!
Do NOT discard the packing materials after the system is unpacked. The packaging
materials must be used if the system is relocated.
WARNING!
The server PRIMERGY RX2540 M1 weighs 25 kg (55 lbs). The storage module
ETERNUSJX40 S2 weighs 35 kg (77 lb). Also the controller enclosure and each drive
enclosure of the ETERNUSDX100 S3 weighs 35 kg (77 lb). Two people are required
to lift either chassis.
ETERNUS CS800 76
Page 77
5.1 Locating the Mounting Position
The ETERNUS CS800 S6 system is designed to fit in a standard 19" wide rack. It is
important for the chassis installation to locate the hole pattern in the rack rails. You must
allow 2 HU (3.5") of vertical space for the server module and 2 HU (3.5") of vertical space
for each storage module installed in the rack.
WARNING!
If the rack is empty at the time of installation, do NOT install the ETERNUS CS800 S6
components too high in the rack. The weight of the components may cause the rack
to become "top heavy" and unstable if installed in the top of an empty rack.
CAUTION!
The storage expansion modules (ETERNUS DX100 S3 resp. ETERNUS JX40 S2) are
preconfigured in the factory and labeled with identifiers. The sequence of these
identifiers must be observed precisely when they are mounted and connected to each
other. Otherwise the system will not work and might get damaged.
5.1 Locating the Mounting Position
The labels with the numbers assigned in the factory are affixed at the right flange of
the front side and at the ID card on top of the cover as described in figure below.
Figure 48: Labels on Front and Rear of the Storage Expansion Module
The ETERNUS CS800 S6 Entry model without the JX40 S2 option can be mounted to any free
2HU space in the rack (like any other server).
With the other models, which are either already delivered with additional storage
components or at least have the option of an appropriate expansion later on, it is
recommended to position the different components of the system in the following order:
Entry with JX40 S2 Option
The server has to be mounted either immediately above or under the optional JX40 S2
storage module. If the system is initially used without JX40 S2, it might be useful to
ETERNUS CS800 77
Page 78
5.1 Locating the Mounting Position
preserve an appropriate free space (2 to 6 HU) for storage expansion with up to three
modules (see the figure below for a graphical representation).
The maximum length of the cable between the server and the first JX40 S2
module (JX40-1) is 3.5m and the cables between the JX40 S2 modules have a
maximum length of 1.1m. Using longer cables may cause malfunction with a
risk of data loss!
Figure 49: Recommended Positions of the Modules in the Rack for Entry
CAUTION!
The JX40 S2 storage modules are preconfigured and assigned by numbers in the
factory. This sequence must be observed precisely when they are mounted. Otherwise
the system does not work.
The labels with the numbers assigned in the factory are affixed at the right flange of
the front side and at the ID card on top of the modules cover as described in figure
"Labels on Front and Rear of the Storage Expansion Module" on page 77.

5.3 Cabling the ETERNUS CS800 S6 System
This chapter provides cabling diagrams for the different ETERNUS CS800 S6 configurations.
In order to set up the mains connection of the system with phase redundancy, the two
power supply units of each module must be connected to two different phases or to two
different circuits of the rack installation.
To safeguard backups in the event of a power outage, it is recommended that you
connect the ETERNUS CS800 S6 to a UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply).
The table below summarizes the different types of cables used for cabling of the offered
ETERNUS CS800 S6 configurations.
ETERNUS CS800 87
Page 88
5.3 Cabling the ETERNUS CS800 S6 System
Every FC port can be configured for PPT.
Initially all FC ports are configured with the VTL target role. The port role can be
changed on page Configuration > System > FC Initiators & Targets of the Remote
Management Console.
Connecting the iRMC port is possible but typically not necessary. For example the
monitoring of the server hardware is included to the general monitoring provided by
the ETERNUS CS800 itself.
The service port of the CS800 should not be connected to the LAN.
CS800 Labelsheet
Together with each ETERNUS CS800 S6 a label sheet is delivered. The stickers on it are
intended to label the storages modules and their power cables (CE, DE-x, JX40-x) as well
as the internal LAN and FC cables to connect the DX100 to the server of the Scale model.
The cells within the tables below should represent the labels. All components delivered
with the initial order of the system are already labeled in the factory, i.e. the appropriate
positions at the sheet will be empty. The remaining labels are either obsolete (e.g. for a
different model of ETERNUS CS800 S6) or may be needed in the future to label additional
storage modules purchased for system enhancement.

2. Connect the host interface adapters CA#1 of both DX100 controller modules to the
server:
Figure 69: FC connection between server and DX100 controller enclosure
a. CM#0 CA#1 port 0 has to be connected to the upper port of the PCI FC card in slot
2.
b. CM#1 CA#1 port 0 has to be connected to the upper port of the PCI FC card in slot
8.
Appropriate labels should be already affixed to the cables or can be taken from
the section FC Cabling (SCALE) of the label sheet, see "CS800 Labelsheet" on page
88.
3. If DX100 drive enclosures are available, connect them to the controller enclosure using
the SAS cables delivered together with the system.
CAUTION!
The sequence of the DX100 storage expansion modules must be observed
precisely when they are mounted and connected to each other, see "Labels on
Front and Rear of the Storage Expansion Module" on page 77. Otherwise the
system will not work and might get damaged.
The SAS cabling of the DX100 storage modules has to be prepared in the form of a so
called reverse cabling: The cabling chain behind CM#0 of the CE module goes from the
first to the last DE while the chain behind CM#1 goes from the last to the first DE.

The last DE is the DE with the always highest identifier in the range of DE-1 to DE-a.
The figures "ETERNUS DX100 S3 cabling with one drive enclosure" on page 96 and
"ETERNUS DX100 S3 reverse cabling with two to ten drive enclosures" on page 96 are
depicting the cabling with a top down arrangement of the modules.

The following step by step instructions can be used to verify or to plug the cables:

5.3 Cabling the ETERNUS CS800 S6 System
a. The SAS port of CE CM#0 must be connected to the SAS IN port of DE-1 IOM#0.
b. Only if there are more than just one DE:
The IOM#0 SAS OUT port of DE-1 must be connected to the IOM#0 SAS IN port of
DE-2. If there are further DE’s they must be connected in the same way.
The IOM#0 OUT port of the always last DE remains unused.
c. The SAS port of CE CM#1 must be connected to the IOM#1 SAS IN port of the always
last DE.
d. Only if there are more than just one DE:
The IOM#1 SAS OUT port of the last DE must be connected to the IOM#1 SAS IN port
of the predecessor DE. If there are further DE’s each IOM#1 must be connected in
the same way.
The IOM#1 OUT port of DE-1 remains unused.
CAUTION!
Double check the cabling. Do not continue if you are not absolutely sure that the
cabling is correct. Otherwise booting up the device could damage the existing
configuration with the result of data loss.
External cabling of the Scale system
There are three different versions of the Scale model, which can be distinguished by the
ports respectively the PCI slots used in the server, see table "Usage of PCI Slots - Scale
System" on page 55.
Please refer to the pictures below to identify the model and to see which ports can be
connected to the LAN and SAN.

Figure 74: Scale System with the 10 Gb/s Ethernet and FC*) options
*)The 8 or 16 Gb/s FC ports are operable only if the appropriate option was purchased too
Proceed as follows to connect the Scale system to the mains as well as to the LAN and
optionally to the SAN or appropriate devices:
1. Connect a power cable to each power supply of the components.
2. Connect the LAN ports and optionally the iRMC port to the appropriate networks. At
least one of the LAN ports must be connected.
3. If your ETERNUS CS800 also provides FC support: Connect the FC ports to the SAN or
directly to the appropriate devices.

6 Initial Configuration, Connecting with the
Network
Before the ETERNUS CS800 is operational, you must configure the system through the
setup wizard. You must also connect the ETERNUS CS800 with the network and configure
your backup software (in case of OST usage also see ETERNUS CS800 OST Guide).
Configuring the ETERNUS CS800 consists of the following steps. See the following
subsections for detailed instructions for completing each step:
l "Switching on the System" on page 100
l "Connecting the Notebook with the Server" on page 101
l "Running the Getting Started Wizard" on page 102
You will need a notebook and an Ethernet cable to do the initial setup.
CAUTION!
If you attempt to install multiple ETERNUS CS800 systems at the same time, an IP
address conflict can occur because each system is configured with the same default
IP addresses (10.1.1.1 for the system and 10.17.21.199 for the iRMC). To avoid this
problem, install one system and configure it to use a different IP address before you
connect another system to the network.

6.1 Switching on the System
Proceed as follows:
1. (Scale model only): Turn on all PSU switches on the rear side of the storage modules.
a. Check that the LINE LEDs of all storage expansion modules are green.
b. Press the power switch on the left flange cover of the storage base module.
c. Wait until the READY LED of the storage base module glows green.
2. Press the power button of the server (see figure "Base and server power button" on
page 100).
3. Wait 15 minutes for the system to boot before continuing with the procedure.
6.1 Switching on the System
Table 22: Base and server power button
Background Initialize
The storage modules are preconfigured in the factory and a Background Initialize process
has been started which runs autonomously on the storage system when it is switched on.
This Background Initialize continues to run on the customer side. Depending on the
configuration (number of storage modules), it can run for between one and several days.
This is NOT an error.
Since the Background Initialize runs autonomously on the storage system, the server can
consequently be rebooted and powered off without any restriction. If the storage base
module needs to be powered off, this can be done using the power switch on the front
panel.
As soon as the storage base is powered on again, the Background Initialize process is
automatically continued.
If an additional expansion module is integrated, a Background Initialize process is also
started here. The same rules apply as above.
