Quick Start Guide
Chapter 2 Working Environment and
Installation
Devices described in this manual should be installed in the standard equipment room.
2.1 Environment of Equipment Room
1.Power Supply System
The storage system is sensitive to the change of a voltage, and an excessively high or low voltage, or a sudden change of the voltage may delete the data in the memory or even cause the damage of the components. To avoid of such damage, you must ensure the power supply is stable and grounded. You are recommended to use the UPS, or the multiple power supply if permitted.
Requirements:
The voltage should be in the range of 110V to 220V(allowed range is between -4% to +4%), and the change must be in the range of 110V to 220V(allowed range is between -15% to +15%); Frequency: 50~60Hz+/-0.5Hz;
Make correct neutral line and GND line connections, and the voltage between them must be less than 1V.
Grounding for AC power supply system: ensure the GND line is properly connected. The grounding for the chassis is recommended.
Grounding for DC power supply system: the chassis must be properly grounded.
Connect all power cords before applying power to the redundant power supply module.
The storage system supports management for some UPS models.
2.Control of Working Environment
The over-high or over-low temperature and other unsatisfying installation and running environment factors may cause failures of the chip and mechanical components of the device, and thus they affect the stable and reliable running of the device as well as the data safety on the disks. Please follow the measurements shown below to take proper measurements:
Use an air conditioner to control the temperature and the humidity at least 2 or 3 days before installing the device.
The working environment of the device should meet the temperature of 23 ºC±2 ºC, humidity of 50%Rh ± 5%Rh and the temperature change rate of <5 ºC/h with non-condensing.
The floor in the equipment room must be capable of loading more than 600kg/m2, and the height between the floor and the ceiling must be more than 2.7 m. The loading capability of
3
Quick Start Guide
the rack can be computed in 10 kg/U, e.g., for a 4U chassis, the required loading capability of
the rack is 40 kg.
Ensure adequate air ventilation of the rack.
Close all the doors and windows to prevent the dust or use a dust-filtering ventilation device.
The dust particulate (≥5μm) must be less than 18,000 particulate / (dm)³.
In a conditions of non-working status of the device, the horizontal and vertical vibration acceleration value of the floor surface of equipment room must be lower than 0.5m/S².
The rack or surface on which the device is installed must be properly grounded, and ensure that each device is grounded as well. The resistance between the device casing and the ground must be less than 4Ω.
2.2 Installation and Initial Power-on
The device shall be placed on the fixed flat surface. Tilting surface is not allowed.
You can use the standard plate in the industrial cabinet or use the guide rail (not provided) to install the device to the rack. It is recommended to use the bolts to fix the device to the rack through the mounting screw holes on the rack.
Connect all the power cords of the device to the power socket and wait for 12 hours before starting up. The temperature of the device and the equipment room must be consistent to prevent the damage caused by a huge temperature difference.
If the device has been transported and stored for more than 10 days; perform the previous operation and then start up and run the device for 30 minutes without the hard disks. And then you shut down the device, insert the hard disks and start the device again.
2.3 Notes for Installation
The device is a high-precision equipment. Please keep stable and gentle when moving it.
Installation and running environment must meet standards. Take regular investigations and records for the equipment room, or apply a remote monitoring for the working status of the device.
Do not unplug the power cord when the device is running.
In case of alarm beeper produced during the system running, please take immediate check and solution.
2.4 Device Reliability
To enhance the reliability of the operating of the device, you can take the following measures:
4
Quick Start Guide
Use the mobile alarm software installed on the storage system. When an alarm event occurs, the alarm message will be sent to your mobile phone as SMS.
Add the Email alarm software module. When the device runs abnormally, the alarm information can be sent to the dedicated Email address.
Use the StorOS Manager software to realize the online management and monitor for all the storage devices.
Connect to the NTP server to adjust time for the storage server to avoid the inaccuracy of record time or record loss.
Add a SNMP software module, the system alarm can be sent to the SNMP client on a PC.

3.4 Installing Accessories
3.4.1 Installation Requirement
Before installation, please prepare the following equipment and accessories:
1.Power cord
2.Serial port line
3.Product Certification
4.Quick Operation Guide(including warrant card)
The following accessories are optional or user-provided:
1.Gigabit Ethernet switch (second-layer switch, user-provided)
2.Rack guide apparatus (optional)
Please check the following hardware connection
1.Power cord connection: connect the power cord to 110V~220VAC power supply.
2.Serial port: connect the serial port to operate initialization for the storage system (optional).
Note: before installing device, please wear a wrist strap and ensure it is correctly grounded.
3.4.2 Installing HDD
3.4.2.1 Selecting HDD Model
It is recommended to adopt the certificated professional HDD models so as to ensure the stable running of the system and the reliable data storage. It is highly recommended to purchase the enterprise-class hard disks, e.g., Seagate Constellation™ ES, Western Digital WD RE3 and WD RE4 series hard disk.
The use of non-enterprise hard disks for establishing RAID may cause instability of the system running and thus lead to data damage. In case of hard disk failure, please replace it with the functioning one immediately so as to prevent the data loss or performance effect. Please refer to the List of Compatible HDD Models of our company for the recommended HDD models.
Note: In order to avoid damages during transportation, it is recommended to package and transport the hard disks separately with the chassis of network storage system.
3.4.2.2 Installing HDD
Follow the steps below to install HDDs. We use 24 slots device as an example to describe the following operations.
16
Quick Start Guide
Steps:
1.Use the panel key to unlock the front panel and then pull out the front panel.
2.Press the spring lock of the HDD on the left, draw the handle and then pull out the HDD bracket from the chassis along the guide apparatus.
3.Use four screws to secure the HDD (with the PCB side downward) to the bracket. In order to ensure the HDD pin holds the line with the rear of the plate, mount screws to the specific screw hole as shown.
4.Insert the HDD bracket (with the PCB side towards the left of the chassis) to the chassis and push it along the guide apparatus to the bottom. Then, press the securing handle to ensure the bracket has been seated into position and lock it.
5.Repeat the operating steps above till all HDDs have been installed.
