Getting S tarted
2.1 Introduction
In this chapter, you are shown how to install your SS-1200-FCAL Enclosure and plug-in modules into an industry
standard 19 inch rack cabinet.
Getting Started
Caution When connecting up the SS-1200-FCAL subsystem, use only approved power cords.
2.2 Planning Your Installation
Before you begin installation you sho uld beco me famili ar with the configuration requirements of your SS-1200FCAL system, detailed in Table 2–1. The correct positions of each of the optional plug-in modules are shown in
Figure 2–1. Please refer to the accompanying FC-AL LRC I/O Module Installation Guide for details of FC-AL
configurations and installation.
Table 2–1 SS-1200-FC AL Configuration
Module Location
Drive Bays ALL drive bays must be filled with either a drive carrier module, front dummy fascia
or (front) ESI/Ops Panel module (Bay 1/1 only), no bays should be left completely
empty.
Power Supply/Cooling
Modules
See Table 2-2
• Single Power S upply/Cooling module: if redundancy is NOT required and the
installed disk drives are low power, a single Powe r Supply /Cooling module mu st
always be fitted to rear Bay 2.
Single modules with a full compliment of drives will limit:
– the maximum operating temperature of the enclosure.
• Two Power Supp ly/Cooling modules: full p ower and cooling redundancy is
provided while a faulty module is replaced. Install the Power Supply/Cooling
modules in rear Bays 1 & 4. Refer to Table 2–2 for details of limitations
• Three Power Supply/cooling Modules: full power and cooling redundancy with
high power drives is maintai ned while a faulty module is replaced. Install the
modules in bay s 1, 2 and 4.

Module Location
I/O Modules The Primary Module must be fitted in Bay 3/1. A second module (providing a second
loop path to all drives) may be fitted in Bay 3/3.
ESI/Ops Panel (variants
available for front or
rear facing)
• Front Facing - Install this in place of a drive in Front Bay 1/1.
Note: A special enclosure is required to support this configuration
• Rear Facing - Install in Rear Bay 3/2
Blank plates Rear blank plates MUST be fitted to ALL unused bays, there will be inadequate drive
cooling if any are left off.

2.2.1 Enclosure Bay Numbering Convention
The enclosure bay numbering convention is shown in Figure 2–1. A Bay is defined as the space required to house
a single 1.6" high 3.5 inch disk drive in its carrier module. e.g. a 1 x 3 bay module would take the space of 1 drive
width by 3 drive bays high (in the rack mount configuration).
The SS-1200-FCAL subsystem is housed in a 4 x 3 enclosure, i.e. 4 bays wide by 3 bays high. The front bays are
numbered 1 to 4 from left to right, viewed from the front. The rear bays are numbered 1 to 4 from right to left,
viewed form the rear. Bays are numbered from 1 (top row) to 3 (bottom row). Module locations are identified from
a matrix of the top and side numbers, e.g. the front ESI/Ops panel should only be installed in front bay 1/1 (top left
when viewed from the front) while the rear ESI/Ops pa nel should be installed in rear bay 3 /1 (top, middle row, when
viewed from the rear).
2.3 Installation
Caution The SS-1200-FCAL Enclosur e with all its compo nent parts in stalled is too he avy for eas y instal lation into
a Rack cabinet. The following procedures describe the installation of the SS-1200-FCAL enclosure and
highlights any cri tical co-r equisite re quiremen ts and good handling p ractices which we e ncourage y ou to
follow so as to ensure that a successful installation is achieved in the easiest manner.
Warning Ensure that you have che cked and fitted a suitable anti-static wrist or ankle strap and observe all
conventional ESD precautions when handling SS-1200-FCAL modules and components. Avoid
contact with Backplane components and module connectors, etc.
2.3.1 Pre-Requisite s
The SS-1200-FCAL Enclosure is d esigned for installation into an industry standard 19 inch cabinet capable of
holding the unit.
• Minimum depth 580 mm from front flange to rear metal w ork (excludes rear cabling).
• Weight (35 to 45 kg dependent upon configuration) per enclosure.
• A minimum gap of 25mm (1inch) clearance between the rack cover and front of drawer; and 50mm (2 inches)
rear clearance between rear of drawer and rear of rack is recommended in order to maintain the correct air flow
around the enclosure.
• The rack should present a maximum back pressure of 5 pascals (0.5mm water gauge).
2.3.2 Rack Mounting R ail Kit
A set of mounting rails is available for use in 19 inch rack cabinets. These rails have been designed and tested to
handle the maximum enclosure weigh t and to ensure that multiple SS-12 00 enclosures may be installed with out loss
of space within the rack. Use of other mounting hardware may cause some loss of rack space.
The rack mounting rail kit also incorporates a rear hold down mechanism to ensure shock and vibration immunity.
Please contact us to ensure suitab l e mo unt rails are available for the Rack you are usin g.
