Preface

Increased Efficiency

The A220 Data Storage Appliance provides high storage density with a maximum configuration of 20 drives in a 2RU enclosure. It comes with redundant, dual power supplies, and hot-swappable fans and disk drives for high serviceability. As with all Themis products, it is designed for economy of space, weight, and power (SWAP), leading to a lower total cost of ownership (TCO) from savings on rack/floor space and power consumption. Our ruggedized design also allows our systems to withstand more heat, which can lead to lower cooling costs.

Simplified Storage Management

The A220 has management software that allows the system to act as both a Network Attached Storage (NAS) and Storage Area Network (SAN) system. On the NAS side, the appliance supports the NFS (Network File System) and CIFS (Common Internet File System) protocols to serve data over the network to Unix/Linux and Windows systems. When acting as a SAN storage system, the appliance supports the FCP (Fibre Channel Protocol), FCoE (Fibre Channel over Ethernet), and iSCSI (Internet SCSI) block-based protocols.

In addition, there is support for HTTP for web access and FTP for file transfer, and the A220 provides the following:

• Snapshots for point-in-time backups with minimum overhead

• Scheduling of snapshots

• Data replication to another Themis Data Storage Appliance for disaster recovery

• Fast recovery of individual files or entire file systems from snapshots

• Support for virtual iSCSI targets for optimal division of storage

• Full RAID management support

• Online file system expansion

• Account management

Maximum Investment Protection

The A220 allows you to easily add and administer your existing storage for additional capacity. This appliance can connect to storage expansion units, including Themis RES-XStore servers, using Fibre Channel or PCIe connections. Investment protection and flexible addition of storage capacity allows for efficient deployment and integration of the A220, without requiring a forklift upgrade.

1.3 Special Features

1.3.1 Recovery from AC Power Loss

BIOS provides a setting for you to determine how the system will respond when AC power is lost and then restored to the system. You can choose for the system to remain powered off (in which case you must press the power switch to turn it back on) or for it to automatically return to a power- on state. See the Advanced BIOS Setup section to change this setting. The default setting is Last State.

1.4 PC Health Monitoring

1—Overview and Specifications

Special Features

This section describes the PC health monitoring features of the A220 motherboard. There is an onboard System Hardware Monitor chip that supports PC health monitoring accessible through the BMC port. An onboard voltage monitor will scan these onboard voltages continuously:

• CPU Cores, +1.8V, +3.3V, +5V, ±12V, +3.3V Standby, +5V Standby, VBAT, HT, Memory, Chipset Voltages.

Once a voltage becomes unstable, a warning is given or an error message is sent to the screen. Users can adjust the voltage thresholds to define the sensitivity of the voltage monitor.

There are two methods to determine the PC health monitor: through the BMC port and by adding the IPMI sensor to the Open-E GUI.

1—BMC Port

1. Login to the BMC port.

2. Select Server Health.

3. Select Sensor Reading or Sensor Reading with Thresholds.

2—Open-E GUI

1. Launch the A220 console through the BMC port.

Themis Computer

2. Press <Alt> + <Ctrl> + w.

3. Enter the admin password [password = admin].

4. Select the Hardware option.

5. Select IPMI Sensor.

Next,

6. Login to the Open-E GUI.

7. Pull down the Status menu and select Hardware.

8. Finally, scroll down the page to see the Hardware Monitoring section.

1.4.1 Fan Status Monitor with Firmware Control

The PC health monitor can check the RPM status of the cooling fans. The onboard chassis fans are controlled by Thermal Management in the BIOS (under Hardware Monitoring).

1.4.2 Environmental Temperature Control

The thermal control sensor monitors the CPU temperature in real time and will turn on the thermal control fan whenever the CPU temperature exceeds a user-defined threshold. The overheat circuitry runs independently from the CPU. Once it detects that the CPU temperature is too high, it will automatically turn on the thermal fan control to prevent any overheat damage to the CPU. The onboard chassis thermal circuitry can monitor the overall system temperature and alert users when the chassis temperature is too high.

Caution: To avoid possible system overheating, please be sure to provide adequate airflow to your system.

1.4.3 Wake-On-LAN (WOL)

Wake-On-LAN is defined as the ability of a management application to remotely power up a computer that is powered off. Remote PC setup, up-dates and asset tracking can occur after hours and on weekends so that daily LAN traffic is kept to a min-

1-10

Themis Computer

1—Overview and Specifications

imum and users are not interrupted. The motherboard has a 3-pin header (WOL) to connect to the 3-pin header on a Network Interface Card (NIC) that has WOL capability. In addition, an onboard LAN controller can also support WOL without any connection to the WOL header. The 3-pin WOL header is to be used with a LAN add-on card only.

• It is strongly recommended that you do not mix memory modules of different speeds and sizes. If DIMMs of different speeds have been installed, verify that the BIOS setup is configured for the fastest speed of RAM used.

• The A220 will not boot if DIMM module(s) are installed in any of the Bank 2 slots (1B, 2B, or 3B) but none in the Bank 1 slots (1A, 2A, or 3A). The first DIMM module must be installed in DIMM 1A and all Bank 1 slots must be filled before populating any Bank 2 slots (see Figure 2-6 for slot locations).

2.3.3 PCI Cards

Although the A220 has six PCI-e slots on the motherboard, only two slots are supported (see Figure 2-9). This support comes in the form of two riser cards, one installed in Slot 5 and another in Slot 6 (see Figure 2-7 on page 2-10 for details).

2.3.3.1 Replacing Cards

Caution: If your system requires a PCI card replacement, Themis recommends that it be carried out by trained personnel only.

Perform the following steps to replace a horizontal PCI card:

1. Locate the slot with the card that will be replaced (Figure 2-9).

Caution: The PCI card in Slot 6 must first be removed before replacing a PCI card in Slot 5. The Slot 5 riser card slot will only accommodate a PCI card of limited size (low profile). Make sure the card being installed will fit the space allocation.

2. Remove the old PCI card and install the new PCI card into the riser card,

securing its I/O faceplate with the Phillips screw removed in Step 1.
