CHAPTER

1

Introduction

The Sun StorEdge 3900 and 6900 series storage systems are complete preconfigured
storage solutions. The Sun StorEdge 3900 series storage systems provide two
different configurations for the direct attach (DAS) environment. The Sun StorEdge
6900 series storage systems also has two configurations for the Storage Area
Network (SAN) environment.

An introduction and an overview of the software associated with the Sun StorEdge
3900 and 6900 series storage systems is given in the Sun StorEdge 3900 and 6900 Series
Reference Manual.

1.1 Overview of this Manual

Because the Sun StorEdge 3900 and 6900 series storage systems are shipped to the
customer as complete configurations, this manual describes only the initial setup of
the storage system, including the power on and off procedures, the general
procedures to connect the storage system to the host, and the removal and
replacement of the field replaceable units (FRUs) within the storage system. When
there is a software component that must be used to define the configuration of a
FRU, the initial settings of the configuration are given for the FRU.

To determine the status of a FRU before removing and replacing it, see the
information in the Sun Automated Diagnostic Environment User’s Guide. To modify the
basic configuration of a FRU that has a configuration, see the Sun StorEdge 3900 and
6900 Series Reference Manual.

CHAPTER

2

Installing the Storage System

This chapter describes how to unpack and install the Sun StorEdge 3900 and 6900
series storage system.

This chapter contains the following sections:

■ Section 2.1 “System Field-Replacable Units

■ Section 2.2 “Unpacking the Storage System” on page 2-2

■ Section 2.3 “Moving and Placing the Storage System” on page 2-3

■ Section 2.4 “Adjusting the Leveling Pads” on page 2-4

■ Section 2.5 “Installing the Stabilizer Legs” on page 2-5

■ Section 2.6 “Installing the Floor Brackets” on page 2-7

2.1 System Field-Replacable Units

The storage system contains the following:

■ Two power sequencer assemblies

■ Four floor mounting brackets

■ Two stabilizer legs

■ Associated mounting hardware

■ Any additional subassemblies ordered

The floor mounting brackets enable you to bolt the storage system to the floor. If you
are not installing the floor mounting brackets, you should install the stabilizer legs.
The stabilizer legs are extended to prevent the storage system from tipping over
when FRUs are installed, removed, or serviced.

2-1

2.2 Unpacking the Storage System

If the storage system is already unpacked, proceed to Section 2.3 “Moving and
Placing the Storage System” on page 2-3.

1. Inspect all shipping containers for evidence of physical damage.

If a shipping carton is damaged, request that the carrier’s agent be present when the
carton is opened. Keep all of the contents and packing material for the agent’s
inspection.

Caution – Use three or more people to unpack and set up the storage system. The

shipping weight of the unit varies, depending on the number of FRUs that are
shipped with the unit. A typical Sun StorEdge 3910 or 6910 storage system can
weigh up to 1465 pounds (547 kg). A typical Sun StorEdge 3960 or 6960 subsystem
with two cabinets can weigh up to 2895 pounds (1660 kg).

2. Unpack the storage system.

Refer to the unpacking instructions printed on the shipping carton.

Note – The stabilizer legs, floor mounting brackets, and associated hardware are

packed in the side pockets of the packing material that encase the storage system.

3. Verify that the items you received match the shipping list.

4. Reassemble the packing materials and save them for future use.

To prepare the storage system for shipment or storage, follow (in reverse order) the
unpacking instructions attached to or printed on the panels of each shipping
container.

If you cannot store the shipping materials, recycle or dispose of the materials
properly. Your local recycling authority can supply specific information.

2-2 Sun StorEdge 3900 and 6900 Series Installation and Service Manual • February 2002

2.3 Moving and Placing the Storage System

Leave enough space to situate the storage system near the system cabinet. The
ground strap between the storage system and the system cabinet is 6.5 feet (2
meters) long. (The procedure for connecting the ground strap is covered in detail in
Section 3.3 “Connecting the Ground Strap” on page 3-6.)

Refer to the specifications in Appendix A when you are determining where to place
the storage system.

Caution – Never lift the storage system by the cosmetic panel surfaces or pull by

the back door. Use three or more people to move the storage system safely. Two
people must restrain the front of the storage system to control the movement. One
person should be behind the storage system. To prevent the storage system from
tipping as you move it, push or pull only on the middle section of the storage
system.

For mobility, allow 3 inches (76 mm) clearance on both sides of the storage system.

Chapter 2 Installing the Storage System 2-3

2.4 Adjusting the Leveling Pads

If you want to attach the storage system to the floor, skip to Section 2.6 “Installing
the Floor Brackets” on page 2-7.

Leveling pads (screws) are located at each corner of the base of the storage system
(

FIGURE 2-1).

Caution – If you are not using the four floor mounting brackets, the four leveling

pads mounted on the bottom plate of the rack must be lowered to the floor for the
storage system to meet Underwriters’ Laboratories physical stability requirements.

1. Open the rear door.

2. Remove the leveling wrench by unlocking the plastic strap that holds it to the
inside of the frame, near the top of the storage system.

Do not cut the strap. Press the plastic tab to unlock the strap around the wrench, and
then slide part of the strap through the lock to loosen the wrench.

3. Adjust the four leveling pads on the storage system frame using the leveling
wrench.

The four pads should press against the floor so that the storage system does not
move or rock in any direction.

2.5 Installing the Stabilizer Legs

If you want to attach the storage system to the floor, skip to Section 2.6 “Installing
the Floor Brackets” on page 2-7.

The stabilizer legs help prevent the storage system from tipping over when FRUs are
taken out of the storage system. The stabilizer legs must be properly installed and
set to be effective.

Caution – Always extend the stabilizer legs before you attempt to install new FRUs

or service FRUs in the storage system.

1. Loosen the securing screw on the right stabilizer leg (

Left stabilizer leg

Chapter 2 Installing the Storage System 2-5

2. Slide the right stabilizer leg over the three mounting screws at the bottom of the
storage system (

FIGURE 2-3).

connector from the cord. The cord can then be permanently connected to a dedicated
branch circuit by a qualified electrician. Check local electrical codes for proper
installation requirements.

Note – You can use the cable ties provided with the storage system as cable

restraints. For each cable, pass a cable tie through one of the slits located along the
base of the storage system. Secure the cable in the cable tie.

8. Repeat Step 3 through Step 7 for the other power sequencer.

3.3 Connecting the Ground Strap

Caution – You must install an insulated grounding conductor as part of the circuit

supplying power to the unit or system. This conductor must be of identical size,
insulation material, and thickness to the neutral grounded and hot ungrounded
branch-circuit supply conductors, but green (with or without yellow stripe[s]).

The grounding conductor described in the above caution statement must be
grounded to either of the following:

■ Earth at service equipment

■ Supply transformer or motor-generator set (if supplied by a separately derived

system)

The outlets in the vicinity of the unit must be of the grounding type, and the
grounding conductors for these outlets must be connected to earth ground.

Connecting the ground strap between the storage system and the cabinet nearest to
it prevents ground loops between the two and keeps data errors from occurring.

SP LAN RJ45 RJ45 Uses an Ethernet cross-over cable to

connect the Network Terminal
Concentrator to the service processor
for single service processor
configurations. When several service
processors are located geographically
and are being aggregated together, the
SP LAN Ethernet port is connected to
an Ethernet router or hub port using a
straight-through cable.

Serial Console Port RJ45 RJ45 Uses RS-232 protocol to directly access

the console port (ttya) of the local
service processor. When the Sun
StorEdge Remote Response option is
installed, this port comes from the local
Xylogics MicroAnnex port 1 allowing
on site support personnel access to the
service processor through the Xylogics
MicroAnnex.

Service Port RJ45 RJ45 Uses a serial RS-232 connection to

connect the local service processor
(ttyb) to its storage system FRUs (for
example, Sun StorEdge T3+ array
firmware downloads). This is the port
by which support personnel (on site or
remote) establish a connection to do
maintenance on the storage system
after a connection to the service
processor has been established.
Alternately, this service port panel
connection can be used to attach an
aggregated service processor (slave)
serial console port panel connection.
This connection is then used by the
master service processor to gain access
to the slave service processor console
port (ttya) when the Sun StorEdge
Remote Response option PPP
connection exists.

and so are v2a and v2b. The value that must be entered is the IP address of the other router
in the pair. For example, if you are setting up the v1a you enter the IP address of v1b.
