hole that the bolt or stud goes into where the terminal conductor and the lock washer
contact should be free of any non-conductive material to allow for metal to metal
contact. All PROTECTIVE EARTHING CONDUCTORS should terminate at this main
protective earthing terminal or at points marked with . (R010)
Special caution and safety notices
This information describes special safety notices that apply to the Storwize V7000.
These notices are in addition to the standard safety notices supplied and address
specific issues relevant to the equipment provided.
General safety
When you service the Storwize V7000, follow general safety guidelines.
Use the following general rules to ensure safety to yourself and others.
v Observe good housekeeping in the area where the devices are kept during and
after maintenance.
v Follow the guidelines when lifting any heavy object:
1. Ensure that you can stand safely without slipping.
2. Distribute the weight of the object equally between your feet.
3. Use a slow lifting force. Never move suddenly or twist when you attempt to
lift.
4. Lift by standing or by pushing up with your leg muscles; this action removes
the strain from the muscles in your back. Do not attempt to lift any objects that
weigh more than 18 kg (40 lb) or objects that you think are too heavy for you.
v Do not perform any action that causes a hazard or makes the equipment unsafe.
v Before you start the device, ensure that other personnel are not in a hazardous
position.
v Place removed covers and other parts in a safe place, away from all personnel,
while you are servicing the unit.
v Keep your tool case away from walk areas so that other people cannot trip over
it.
v Do not wear loose clothing that can be trapped in the moving parts of a device.
Ensure that your sleeves are fastened or rolled up above your elbows. If your
hair is long, fasten it.
Safety and environmental noticesxvii
v Insert the ends of your necktie or scarf inside clothing or fasten it with a
nonconducting clip, approximately 8 cm (3 in.) from the end.
v Do not wear jewelry, chains, metal-frame eyeglasses, or metal fasteners for your
clothing.
Remember: Metal objects are good electrical conductors.
v Wear safety glasses when you are hammering, drilling, soldering, cutting wire,
attaching springs, using solvents, or working in any other conditions that might
be hazardous to your eyes.
v After service, reinstall all safety shields, guards, labels, and ground wires.
Replace any safety device that is worn or defective.
v Reinstall all covers correctly after you have finished servicing the unit.
Handling static-sensitive devices
Ensure that you understand how to handle devices that are sensitive to static
electricity.
Attention: Static electricity can damage electronic devices and your system. To
avoid damage, keep static-sensitive devices in their static-protective bags until you
are ready to install them.
To reduce the possibility of electrostatic discharge, observe the following
precautions:
v Limit your movement. Movement can cause static electricity to build up around
you.
v Handle the device carefully, holding it by its edges or frame.
v Do not touch solder joints, pins, or exposed printed circuitry.
v Do not leave the device where others can handle and possibly damage the
device.
v While the device is still in its antistatic bag, touch it to an unpainted metal part
of the system unit for at least two seconds. (This action removes static electricity
from the package and from your body.)
v Remove the device from its package and install it directly into your Storwize
V7000, without putting it down. If it is necessary to put the device down, place
it onto its static-protective bag. (If your device is an adapter, place it
component-side up.) Do not place the device onto the cover of the Storwize
V7000 or onto a metal table.
v Take additional care when you handle devices during cold weather. Indoor
humidity tends to decrease in cold weather, causing an increase in static
electricity.

About this guidexxiii
xxivStorwize V7000 Gen2 and Gen2+: Quick Installation Guide
Chapter 1. Before you begin the installation
Before you can begin installing your system, you must unpack and verify your
order and make other preparations.
The Quick Installation Guide contains a set of instructions to help you unpack and
install your system. The guide is divided into three chapters.
1. The steps in Chapter 1, “Before you begin the installation” (the chapter you are
now reading) involve verifying your order, becoming familiar with the
hardware component terminology, and ensuring that you have met the
environmental requirements.
2. The steps in Chapter 2, “Installing the Storwize V7000 Gen2 and Storwize
V7000 Gen2+ hardware,” on page 13 involve installing the hardware and
attaching the data cables and power cords.
3. Chapter 3, “Configuring the system,” on page 143 helps you create your
configuration file and access the management GUI. The management GUI
guides you through the initial configuration process.
Important information:
v This guide presumes that you have read the planning information regarding
your physical environment that is available from the IBM Knowledge Center for
Storwize V7000.
v Ensure that any cables that you are supplying are available for installation.
Installation scenarios
Depending on your order, this documentation steps you through setting up your
system for the following scenarios:
v Setting up a new system that consists of a control enclosure only. In this case,
you are not installing any expansion enclosures.
v Setting up a new system that consists of a control enclosure and one or more
expansion enclosures.
v Adding an expansion enclosure to an existing system. In this case, you initially
installed a control enclosure (and, optionally, one or more expansion enclosures).
You want to add an expansion enclosure to your existing system. You do not
need to power off the system. You can add an expansion enclosure while the
system is operational.
v Adding a control enclosure (either by itself or with one or more expansion
enclosures) to an existing system. You do not need to power off the system. You
can add a control enclosure while the system is operational.
v Setting up a new system that consists of more than one control enclosure.
Install the first control enclosure and then the required expansion enclosures. For
each additional control enclosure, complete the setup as if you were adding it to
an existing system.
Table 5 on page 2 lists the steps for each scenario.

Verify environmental requirements
The environmental and electrical requirements for the physical site must be met to
ensure that your system works reliably.
Before installing a Storwize V7000 system, you must verify that adequate space in
a suitable rack is available. You must also ensure that the requirements for power
and environmental conditions are met.
10Storwize V7000 Gen2 and Gen2+: Quick Installation Guide
This guide assumes that you have completed the physical planning for the
environment of your system. If you have not done the environmental planning for
your system, see the “Storwize V7000 physical installation planning” topic in the
IBM Knowledge Center for Storwize V7000.
Review enclosure location guidelines
Before you install the enclosures, you must be familiar with these enclosure
location guidelines.
Installing a control enclosure only
If you are installing a control enclosure only, follow these guidelines.
v Position the enclosure in the rack so that you can easily view it and access it for
servicing.
v Locate the enclosure low enough for the rack to remain stable.
v Ensure that you provide a way for two or more people to install and remove the
enclosure.
Installing a control enclosure and one or more expansion
enclosures
If you are installing a control enclosure plus one or more expansion enclosures,
follow these guidelines.
v A Storwize V7000 system can support up to 1056 drives that are installed into
control and expansion enclosures. Each enclosure requires 2U of rack space.
v Each assembled enclosure weighs more than 36 kg. Provide sufficient space at
the front of the rack for three persons to carry the enclosure safely.
v Each system can consist of up to four control enclosures. Each control enclosure
can be connected to up to 20 expansion enclosures (two SAS chains of up to 10
expansion enclosures each).
v For best performance, dived the total number of expansion enclosures to be
installed between each control enclosure in the system.
v Where expansion enclosures are to be installed, distribute them evenly into rack
space above and below the control enclosure to which they will connect. Do not
leave gaps between the enclosures. This aids cabling and serviceability.
v Leave space in the rack for future expansion enclosures, but otherwise install all
enclosures that constitute one system in adjacent or nearby rack space.
v If a rack is to be only partially filled, install the enclosures low enough for the
rack to remain stable and enable easy access to the enclosures for servicing.
Adding an expansion enclosure chain to an existing system
If you are adding an expansion enclosure chain to an existing or Storwize V5030F
system, follow these guidelines.
v You do not need to power off the system. You can add an expansion enclosure
while the system is operational.
v Add the first expansion enclosure directly below the control enclosure.
v Add the second expansion enclosure directly above the control enclosure.
v Add the third expansion enclosure directly below the first.
v Add the fourth expansion directly above the second, and so on.

SAS cabling guidelines
v3500179
When connecting SAS cables between 2U expansion enclosures, you must follow a
list of guidelines to ensure that your configuration is valid.
Orienting the connector
When inserting SAS cables, make sure the connector (Figure 22) is oriented
correctly.
v The orientation of the connector must match the orientation of the port before
you push the connector into the port. The cable connector and socket are keyed,
and it is important that you have proper alignment of the keys when the cable is
inserted.
v The blue pull tab must be below the connector.
v Insert the connector gently until it clicks into place. If you feel resistance, the
connector is probably oriented the wrong way. Do not force it.
v When inserted correctly, the connector can only be removed by pulling the tab.
v When both ends of a SAS cable are inserted correctly, the green link LEDs next
to the connected SAS ports are lit.

v Do not raise, lower or slide platform load shelf unless stabilizer (brake pedal jack) is
fully engaged. Keep stabilizer brake engaged when not in use or motion.
v Do not move LIFT TOOL while platform is raised, except for minor positioning.
v Do not exceed rated load capacity. See LOAD CAPACITY CHART regarding
maximum loads at center versus edge of extended platform.
v Only raise load if properly centered on platform. Do not place more than 200 lb (91
kg) on edge of sliding platform shelf also considering the load's center of
mass/gravity (CoG).
v Do not corner load the platform tilt riser accessory option. Secure platform riser tilt
option to main shelf in all four (4x) locations with provided hardware only, prior to
use. Load objects are designed to slide on/off smooth platforms without appreciable
force, so take care not to push or lean. Keep riser tilt option flat at all times except for
final minor adjustment when needed.
v Do not stand under overhanging load.
v Do not use on uneven surface, incline or decline (major ramps).
v Do not stack loads. (C048, part 1 of 2)
32Storwize V7000 Gen2 and Gen2+: Quick Installation Guide
v Do not operate while under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
v Do not support ladder against LIFT TOOL.
v Tipping hazard. Do not push or lean against load with raised platform.
v Do not use as a personnel lifting platform or step. No riders.
v Do not stand on any part of lift. Not a step.
v Do not climb on mast.
v Do not operate a damaged or malfunctioning LIFT TOOL machine.
v Crush and pinch point hazard below platform. Only lower load in areas clear of
personnel and obstructions. Keep hands and feet clear during operation.
v No Forks. Never lift or move bare LIFT TOOL MACHINE with pallet truck, jack or
fork lift.
v Mast extends higher than platform. Be aware of ceiling height, cable trays, sprinklers,
lights, and other overhead objects.
v Do not leave LIFT TOOL machine unattended with an elevated load.
v Watch and keep hands, fingers, and clothing clear when equipment is in motion.
v Turn Winch with hand power only. If winch handle cannot be cranked easily with one
hand, it is probably over-loaded. Do not continue to turn winch past top or bottom of
platform travel. Excessive unwinding will detach handle and damage cable. Always
hold handle when lowering, unwinding. Always assure self that winch is holding
load before releasing winch handle.
v A winch accident could cause serious injury. Not for moving humans. Make certain
clicking sound is heard as the equipment is being raised. Be sure winch is locked in
position before releasing handle. Read instruction page before operating this winch.
Never allow winch to unwind freely. Freewheeling will cause uneven cable wrapping
around winch drum, damage cable, and may cause serious injury. (C048, part 2 of 2)
CAUTION:
If the System slide rails are installed above EIA location 29U, the [ServerLIFT®]
tool (or other qualified lift tool) must be used as a safety precaution for
servicing. Position the lift tool platform slightly below the bottom of the System
drawer to account for the slight downward flex when the drawer is extended out
fully on its slides. Then gently raise the lift tool platform to stably contact the
bottom of the drawer, minding not to over force it as it could put upward stress
to the slide rails. A service-qualified ladder may have to be used to reach or
properly work around the System at such heights. While using a ladder, do not
lean on or against the system drawer or lift tool during service, and follow safe
practices. (C051)

Chapter 2. Installing the Storwize V7000 Gen2 and Storwize V7000 Gen2+ hardware51
CAUTION:
Removing components from the upper positions in the rack cabinet improves
rack stability during a relocation. Follow these general guidelines whenever you
relocate a populated rack cabinet within a room or building.
v Reduce the weight of the rack cabinet by removing equipment starting at the
top of the rack cabinet. When possible, restore the rack cabinet to the
configuration of the rack cabinet as you received it. If this configuration is not
known, you must observe the following precautions.
– Remove all devices in the 32U position and above.
– Ensure that the heaviest devices are installed in the bottom of the rack
cabinet.
– Ensure that there are no empty U-levels between devices installed in the
rack cabinet below the 32U level.
v If the rack cabinet you are relocating is part of a suite of rack cabinets, detach
the rack cabinet from the suite.
v If the rack cabinet you are relocating was supplied with removable outriggers
they must be reinstalled before the cabinet is relocated.
v Inspect the route that you plan to take to eliminate potential hazards.
v Verify that the route that you choose can support the weight of the loaded
rack cabinet. Refer to the documentation that comes with your rack cabinet for
the weight of a loaded rack cabinet.
v Verify that all door openings are at least 760 x 230 mm (30 x 80 in.).
v Ensure that all devices, shelves, drawers, doors, and cables are secure.
v Ensure that the four leveling pads are raised to their highest position.
v Ensure that there is no stabilizer bracket installed on the rack cabinet during
movement.
v Do not use a ramp inclined at more than 10 degrees.
v When the rack cabinet is in the new location, complete the following steps:
– Lower the four leveling pads.
– Install stabilizer brackets on the rack cabinet.
– If you removed any devices from the rack cabinet, repopulate the rack
cabinet from the lowest position to the highest position.
v If a long-distance relocation is required, restore the rack cabinet to the
configuration of the rack cabinet as you received it. Pack the rack cabinet in
the original packaging material, or equivalent. Also lower the leveling pads to

CAUTION regarding IBM provided VENDOR LIFT TOOL:
v Operation of LIFT TOOL by authorized personnel only
v LIFT TOOL intended for use to assist, lift, install, remove units (load) up into rack
elevations. It is not to be used loaded transporting over major ramps nor as a
replacement for such designated tools like pallet jacks, walkies, fork trucks and such
related relocation practices. When this is not practicable, specially trained persons or
services must be used (for instance, riggers or movers). Read and completely
understand the contents of LIFT TOOL operator's manual before using.
v Read and completely understand the contents of LIFT TOOL operator's manual before
using. Failure to read, understand, obey safety rules, and follow instructions may
result in property damage and/or personal injury. If there are questions, contact the
vendor's service and support. Local paper manual must remain with machine in
provided storage sleeve area. Latest revision manual available on vendor's website.
v Test verify stabilizer brake function before each use. Do not over-force moving or
rolling the LIFT TOOL with stabilizer brake engaged.
v Do not raise, lower or slide platform load shelf unless stabilizer (brake pedal jack) is
fully engaged. Keep stabilizer brake engaged when not in use or motion.
v Do not move LIFT TOOL while platform is raised, except for minor positioning.
v Do not exceed rated load capacity. See LOAD CAPACITY CHART regarding
maximum loads at center versus edge of extended platform.
v Only raise load if properly centered on platform. Do not place more than 200 lb (91
kg) on edge of sliding platform shelf also considering the load's center of
mass/gravity (CoG).
v Do not corner load the platform tilt riser accessory option. Secure platform riser tilt
option to main shelf in all four (4x) locations with provided hardware only, prior to
use. Load objects are designed to slide on/off smooth platforms without appreciable
force, so take care not to push or lean. Keep riser tilt option flat at all times except for
final minor adjustment when needed.
v Do not stand under overhanging load.
v Do not use on uneven surface, incline or decline (major ramps).
v Do not stack loads. (C048, part 1 of 2)
Chapter 2. Installing the Storwize V7000 Gen2 and Storwize V7000 Gen2+ hardware53
v Do not operate while under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
v Do not support ladder against LIFT TOOL.
v Tipping hazard. Do not push or lean against load with raised platform.
v Do not use as a personnel lifting platform or step. No riders.
v Do not stand on any part of lift. Not a step.
v Do not climb on mast.
v Do not operate a damaged or malfunctioning LIFT TOOL machine.
v Crush and pinch point hazard below platform. Only lower load in areas clear of
personnel and obstructions. Keep hands and feet clear during operation.
v No Forks. Never lift or move bare LIFT TOOL MACHINE with pallet truck, jack or
fork lift.
v Mast extends higher than platform. Be aware of ceiling height, cable trays, sprinklers,
lights, and other overhead objects.
v Do not leave LIFT TOOL machine unattended with an elevated load.
v Watch and keep hands, fingers, and clothing clear when equipment is in motion.
v Turn Winch with hand power only. If winch handle cannot be cranked easily with one
hand, it is probably over-loaded. Do not continue to turn winch past top or bottom of
platform travel. Excessive unwinding will detach handle and damage cable. Always
hold handle when lowering, unwinding. Always assure self that winch is holding
load before releasing winch handle.
v A winch accident could cause serious injury. Not for moving humans. Make certain
clicking sound is heard as the equipment is being raised. Be sure winch is locked in
position before releasing handle. Read instruction page before operating this winch.
Never allow winch to unwind freely. Freewheeling will cause uneven cable wrapping
around winch drum, damage cable, and may cause serious injury. (C048, part 2 of 2)
CAUTION:
If the System slide rails are installed above EIA location 29U, the [ServerLIFT®]
tool (or other qualified lift tool) must be used as a safety precaution for
servicing. Position the lift tool platform slightly below the bottom of the System
drawer to account for the slight downward flex when the drawer is extended out
fully on its slides. Then gently raise the lift tool platform to stably contact the
bottom of the drawer, minding not to over force it as it could put upward stress
to the slide rails. A service-qualified ladder may have to be used to reach or
properly work around the System at such heights. While using a ladder, do not
lean on or against the system drawer or lift tool during service, and follow safe
practices. (C051)
DANGER
DANGER: Serious injury or death can occur if loaded lift tool falls over or if
a heavy load falls off the lift tool. Always completely lower the lift tool load
plate and properly secure the load on the lift tool before moving or using the
lift tool to lift or move an object. (D010)
