Review the following information when preparing the drive module or E2400 command
module installation site.
Earth ground – The unit must be properly grounded, including an earth ground
•
conductor on the AC power source.
Circuit overloading – Make sure the power circuits and associated circuit breakers in
•
the cabinet and building provide sufficient power and overload protection. To prevent
possible damage to the unit, isolate its power source from large switching loads (such as
air conditioning motors).
Po wer interruptions – The drive module or E2400 command module will withstand
•
the following applied voltage interruptions:
Input transient: 50% of nominal voltage
•
Duration: one half cycle
•
Minimum f requency: once every 10 seconds
•
Power failures – Once power is restored after a complete power failure, the unit
•
automatically performs a power-up recovery sequence without operator intervention.
Site Wiring and Voltages
The drive modules and E2400 command module use wide-ranging, redundant power
supplies that automatically match voltages to the AC power source. They are a 120 /220
VAC, 50/60 Hz units that meet standard voltage requirements for both domestic (USA)
and international (outside USA) operation. They use standard industrial wiring with a
line-to-neutral or line-to-line power connections (Table 10).
The AC power source must provide the correct voltage, current, and frequency specified
on the manufacturer’s nameplate. Internal AC power units for rackmount cabinets must
be able to handle the power requirements for this unit (Table 11).

Power Connections
The drive module uses two AC power cords (one for each power supply). In order to meet
power r e qu ir emen ts and ma inta in power redundancy, you must con n ect the dri v e mo du le
to either 90-136 VAC or 198-257 VAC, 15 A circuits as described below.
Redundant power, 90-136 V – Connect as follows:
•
If three or less drive modules are connected to a command module, use two 90-136
•
V, 15 A circuits. Connect one power supply from each drive module to one circuit
and the other power supplies to the second circuit.
If more than three drive modules are connected to a command module, use four
•
90-136 V, 15 A circuits. Connect one half of the drive modules to two circuits and
the remaining drive modules to the other two circuits. Make sure that each drive
module connects to two different circuits (one per power supply).
Redunda nt po wer, 198-257 V – Use two 198 V-257 V, 15 A circuits. Connect one power
•
supply from each drive module to one circuit and the other power supply to the second
circuit.
Some rackmount cabinets have two AC distribution boxes. Each AC distribution box has
its own power cord. Because of limited space inside the cabinet, it may be easier to connect
and route power cords before installing the support rails and command module. You may
connect power to a command module in a rackmount cabinet in three ways:
Redundant power to cabinet and drive module – Connect the AC boxes in the cabinet
•
to two, independent, external power sources. Connect one power cord from each drive
module to each AC box in the cabinet.
Redundant power to cabinet; non-redundant to drive module – Connect the AC boxes
•
in the cabinet to two, independent, external power sources. Connect both power cords
from the drive module to one AC box in the rackmount cabinet.
Non-redundant power to cabin e t and drive module – Connect both AC boxes in the
•
cabinet to a single power source. Connect both power cords from the drive module to
one or both AC boxes in the rackmount cabinet.
FC-1 10x Drive Module and E2400 10x Command Module
The AC power source must provide the correct voltage, current, and frequency specified
on the manufacturer’s nameplate. Internal AC power units for rackmount cabinets must
be able to handle the power requirements for these units (Table 12).

The drive module and command module use two AC power cords (one for each power
supply). You must have an independent AC power source for each power supply in the
drive module and command module in order to maintain redundancy. This applies to
both deskside and rackmount models.
Some rackmount cabinets have two AC distribution boxes. Each AC distribution box has
its own power cord. To ensure red undancy, connect the AC boxes in the cabinet to two
independent power sources. Then, connect one power cord from each drive module or
command module to each AC box in the cabinet (Figure 5). Beca use o f limite d spac e insi de

The E3300 drive module has two SCSI connectors. To connect the drive module to a
SYM1000E command module, you must use 68-pin, VHDCI (very high density cable
interface) LVD, Ultra SCSI-2 cables.
The maximum length for any SCSI, 68-pin HD cable is 25 m (82 ft.) or 12 m (39 ft.) for
VHDCI cable. The total length includes both internal and external cabling. The SCSI
cabling inside this drive module is approximately 0.1 m (4 in.) for the host bus. Table 14
lists the SCSI cables that you can use on this drive module.

includes 16-bit terminators.
The drive modules and command modules support Fibre Channel connections to the
command modules. They have four gigabit interface converter (GBIC) connectors, two on
each ESM or controller. The connectors may be fiber optic or copper. The type of
connector depends on what type of drive interface you ordered and what type of cable you
are using to attach the drive module or command module to the command module.
If you ordered optical GBIC connectors, you will need fiber optic cable. If you ordered
copper GBIC connectors, you will need copper wire cable. Table 15 lists the types and
lengths of cable available from your local dealer.
