About this document
This document provides instructions for installing and customizing the configuration
of your IBM TotalStorage DS4100 storage server. It also provides hardware
maintenance procedures and troubleshooting information.
FAStT product renaming
IBM is in the process of renaming some FAStT family products. Table 1 identifies
each new DS4000 product name with its corresponding FAStT product name. Note
that this change of product name only indicates no change in functionality or
warranty. All products listed below with new names are functionally-equivalent and
fully-interoperable. Each DS4000 product retains full IBM service as outlined in
service contracts issued for analogous FAStT products.

How this document is organized
Chapter 1, “Introduction,” on page 1 describes the IBM TotalStorage DS4100
storage server. This chapter includes an inventory checklist and an overview of the
storage server features, operating specifications, and components.
Chapter 2, “Installing the storage server,” on page 17 contains instructions for
installing the storage server in a standard rack cabinet and setting the interface
options.
Chapter 3, “Cabling the storage server,” on page 45 contains fibre channel and
power cabling information for the storage server.
Chapter 4, “Operating the storage server,” on page 65 contains instructions for
power the storage server on or off during either normal or emergency situations. It
also contains information on how to check the LEDs on the front and back of the
storage server.
Chapter 5, “Installing and replacing components,” on page 79 contains step-by-step
instructions for how to install or remove customer replaceable units (CRUs), such
as hard disk drives, power supplies, RAID controllers, and fan units.
Chapter 6, “Hardware maintenance,” on page 111 contains problems, symptoms,
and error messages that are specific to your storage server.
Appendix A, “Records,” on page 119 provides a table that you can use to record
and update important information about your DS4100, including serial number and
device records. Whenever you add options to your DS4100, be sure to update the
information in this table.
Appendix B, “Rack mounting template,” on page 121 provides the rack mounting
templates for installation of the DS4100. If you want to tear out the templates from
the document for use during installation, use these copies of the templates.
Appendix C, “Power cords,” on page 125 lists power cord information for the
DS4100.
Notices and statements used in this document

Getting information, help, and service
If you need help, service, or technical assistance or just want more information
about IBM products, you will find a wide variety of sources available from IBM to
assist you. This section contains information about where to go for additional
information about IBM and IBM products, what to do if you experience a problem
with your IBM Eserver xSeries
™
service, if it is necessary.
Before you call
Before you call, make sure that you have taken these steps to try to solve the
problem yourself:
v Check all cables to make sure that they are connected.
v Check the power switches to make sure that the system is turned on.
v Use the troubleshooting information in your system documentation and use the
diagnostic tools that come with your system.
v Check for technical information, hints, tips, and new device drivers at the
following Web site:
www.ibm.com/storage/techsup.htm
v Use an IBM discussion forum on the IBM Web site to ask questions.
or IntelliStation system, and whom to call for
can solve many problems without outside assistance by following the
You
troubleshooting procedures that IBM provides in the online help or in the documents
that are provided with your system and software. The information that comes with
your system also describes the diagnostic tests that you can perform. Most xSeries
and IntelliStation systems, operating systems, and programs come with information
that contains troubleshooting procedures and explanations of error messages and
error codes. If you suspect a software problem, see the information for the
operating system or program.
Using the documentation
Information about the xSeries or IntelliStation system and preinstalled software, if
any, is available in the documents that come with your system. This includes printed
documents, online documents, readme files, and help files. See the troubleshooting
information in your system documentation for instructions on how to use the
diagnostic programs. The troubleshooting information or the diagnostic programs
might tell you that you need additional or updated device drivers or other software.
Web sites
IBM maintains pages on the World Wide Web where you can get the latest
technical information and download device drivers and updates.
v For DS4000 information, go to the following Web site:
www.ibm.com/storage/techsup.htm
The support page has many sources of information and ways for you to solve
problems, including:
– Diagnosing problems using the IBM Online Assistant
– Downloading the latest device drivers and updates for your products
– Viewing frequently asked questions (FAQ)
– Viewing hints and tips to help you solve problems
– Participating in IBM discussion forums

Fire suppression systems
A fire suppression system is the responsibility of the customer. The customer’s own
insurance underwriter, local fire marshal, or a local building inspector, or both,
should be consulted in selecting a fire suppression system that provides the correct
level of coverage and protection. IBM designs and manufactures equipment to
internal and external standards that require certain environments for reliable
operation. Because IBM does not test any equipment for compatibility with fire
suppression systems, IBM does not make compatibility claims of any kind nor does
IBM provide recommendations on fire suppression systems.
