DANGER

Main Protective Earth (Ground):

This symbol is marked on the frame of the rack.

The PROTECTIVE EARTHING CONDUCTORS should be terminated at that point. A recognized or certified closed loop connector (ring terminal) should be used and secured to the frame with a lock washer using a bolt or stud. The connector should be properly sized to be suitable for the bolt or stud, the locking washer, the rating for the conducting wire used, and the considered rating of the breaker. The intent is to ensure the frame is electrically bonded to the PROTECTIVE EARTHING CONDUCTORS. The 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

Special caution and safety notices

. (R010)

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.

xvi Storwize V7000 Gen2: Quick Installation Guide

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 guide xxv

xxvi Storwize V7000 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 hardware,” on page 11 involve installing

the hardware and attaching the data cables and power cords.

3. Chapter 3, “Configuring the system,” on page 29 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 Storwize V7000 Information Center.

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.

Verifying environmental requirements

The environmental and electrical requirements for the physical site must be met to ensure that your system works reliably.

Before installing Storwize V7000, you must verify that adequate space in a suitable rack is available and that requirements for power and environmental conditions are met.

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 Storwize V7000 Information Center.

Reviewing enclosure location guidelines

Before installing the enclosures, you must be familiar with these enclosure location guidelines.

fab10053

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.

Chapter 1. Before you begin the installation 9

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 installed into control

and expansion enclosures. Each enclosure requires 2U of rack space.

v Each assembled enclosure weighs more than 36kg. There must be 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, the total number of expansion enclosures to be installed

should be divided 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 that they will connect to, without leaving 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 to an existing system

If you are adding an expansion enclosure to an existing 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.

Connecting SAS cables to expansion enclosures

If you have installed expansion enclosures, you must connect them to a control enclosure.

About this task

This task applies if you are installing one or more expansion enclosures.Each control enclosure in the system can manage two sets of expansion enclosures, with each set consisting of a maximum of 10 expansion enclosures. Therefore, each control enclosure can manage up to 20 expansion enclosures, and a system containing two control enclosures can have up to 40 expansion enclosures.Each set of expansion enclosures is connected together sequentially through the in and out SAS ports, forming a chain with a control enclosure at the end of the chain.

fab10022

Note: When connecting SAS cables between enclosures, you must follow a list of guidelines to ensure that your configuration is valid. Do not begin connecting the cables until you have read “SAS cabling guidelines” on page 23.

Procedure

To install the cables, complete the following steps.

1. Using the supplied SAS cables, connect the control enclosure to the expansion

enclosure at rack position 1, as shown in Figure 20 on page 22.

a. Connect SAS port 1 of the left node canister in the control enclosure to SAS

port 1 of the left expansion canister in the first expansion enclosure.

b. Connect SAS port 1 of the right node canister in the control enclosure to

SAS port 1 of the right expansion canister in the first expansion enclosure.

Chapter 2. Installing the hardware 21

fab10007

Figure 20. Connecting the SAS cables

2. To add a second expansion enclosure to the control enclosure, use the supplied

SAS cables to connect the control enclosure to the expansion enclosure at rack position 2, as shown in Figure 20.

a. Connect SAS port 2 of the left node canister in the control enclosure to SAS

port 1 of the left expansion canister in the second expansion enclosure.

b. Connect SAS port 2 of the right node canister in the control enclosure to

SAS port 1 of the right expansion canister in the second expansion enclosure.

3. If additional expansion enclosures are installed, connect each one to the

previous expansion enclosure in a chain, using two Mini SAS HD to Mini SAS HD cables as shown in Figure 20.

Note: A control enclosure can support up to 20 expansion enclosures (10 above the control enclosure and 10 below).

4. If additional control enclosures are installed, repeat this cabling procedure on

each control enclosure and its expansion enclosures.

22 Storwize V7000 Gen2: Quick Installation Guide

SAS cabling guidelines

When connecting SAS cables between 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 21) 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.

v3500179

Figure 21. SAS cable connectors

Guidelines

Be aware of the following guidelines when you begin to attach the cables to the SAS ports.

v No more than ten expansion enclosures can be chained to SAS port 1 of a node

canister. The expansion enclosures in this chain should be installed below the control enclosure (as shown in Figure 22 on page 24).

v No more than ten expansion enclosures can be chained to SAS port 2 of a node

canister. The expansion enclosures in this chain should be installed above the control enclosure (as shown in Figure 22 on page 24).

fab10007

To install the cables, complete the following steps.

1. Connect Ethernet port 1 of each node canister in the system to the IP network

that will provide connection to the system management interfaces, as shown in Figure 23 on page 25. This port can also be used for iSCSI connectivity to the

24 Storwize V7000 Gen2: Quick Installation Guide

system by hosts on the network. Where more than one control enclosure is present in the system, ensure port 1 of every node canister is connected to the same network to provide access in the event of configuration node fail-over.

Figure 23. Connecting the Ethernet cables

2. Optionally, connect Ethernet port 2 of each node canister in the system to a

second IP network that will provide redundant connection to the system management interfaces, as shown by the lighter cable connection in Figure 23. This port can also be used for iSCSI connectivity to the system by hosts on the network. Where more than one control enclosure is present in the system, ensure that port 2 of every node canister is connected to the same network to provide access in the event of configuration node fail-over.

3. Optionally, connect Ethernet port 3 of both node canisters in a system to the

networks that will provide additional iSCSI connectivity to the system.

fab10001

Note: Do not connect the Ethernet technician port (labeled T) to a network switch. The technician port must only be directly connected to a personal computer when initializing a system or servicing a node.
