A rack-mounted unit weighs up to 38.5 kg (85 lb) with disk drive modules installed. Do not attempt to lift the unit into the rack unless all the disk drive modules have been removed. CAUTION: Do not use the handles on the fan-and-power-supply to help carry the unit. © Copyright IBM Corp. 2001... -
Page 12: The Profibre Storage Array
The ProFibre Storage Array The ProFibre Storage Array comprises a controller unit and up to seven expansion units. Each unit in a ProFibre Storage Array is 3 EIA units high and is suitable for mounting in an industry standard (EIA) 19-inch rack. Figure 1. -
Page 13: Controls And Lights
On the back of the backplane of a controller unit are connectors for two fan-and-power-supply assemblies 2 , two RAID FF cards 3 , and a switch card 4 . An expansion unit has connectors for two FC-AL Interface Cards 5 instead of two RAID FF cards 3 . -

HOST FC Status light 4 This Status light, which is amber, is lit when there is no valid Fibre Channel connection through the HOST port, or when the port is inactive while it is waiting for failover. OUT FC Status light 5 This Status light, which is amber, is lit when there is no valid Fibre Channel connection through the OUT port, or when the port is inactive while it is waiting for failover. -
Page 19: Switch Card
Power light 2 The green Power light is lit when the voltage is correct. Card Fault light 3 The amber Card Fault light is lit when an error condition has been detected. Switch Card A switch card 1 is installed in the back of a unit of the ProFibre Storage Array. Figure 10. - Page 20 Figure 11. Switch Card (with or without BBU) The switch card contains two separate switches: FC-AL Address switch 5 This switch can be set to a value between 0 and 7. It controls the FC-AL addresses used by the ProFibre Storage Array. For example, if the switch is set to 5, the FC-AL address of the disks in slots 1 to 10 are then 50 to 59 (hexadecimal).

Page 21: Identifying Disk Drive Modules
Identifying Disk Drive Modules You can identify a disk drive module by the serial number that appears on a label 1 on the front of the module: Figure 12. Disk Drive Module Label This label also shows the capacity of the disk drive. Each disk drive module also has a FC-AL address that is related to its position in the ProFibre Storage Array unit. - Page 22 ProFibre Storage Array: Operator’s Guide...

Page 23: Chapter 2. Adding Disk Drive Modules
After you have added a disk drive module to the unit, you must add it into your system software configuration by using the system programs. Refer to the SANArray Manager Client Software for Mylex External Disk Array Controllers: Installation and User Manual for guidance on how to do this. © Copyright IBM Corp. 2001... -
Page 24: Before Adding A Disk Drive Module
Before Adding a Disk Drive Module Identify the slot for the new disk drive module by using the configuration planning information for your system. A dummy disk drive module should be in the slot. See Figure 14. Figure 14. Dummy Disk Drive Module To Add a Disk Drive Module 1. - Page 25 2. With one hand giving support to the base of the disk drive module and the other hand holding the handle 1 , insert the module and push it into the slot. When the handle touches the front surface of the unit, the module stops. Note that the module is not yet fully inserted.
- Page 26 4. Verify that the disk drive module that you have just installed is aligned with the sides of the unit, and that no gap exists between this module and the modules that are next to it. Verify also that the front edge of this disk drive module aligns with the front edges of the modules next to it.

FC-AL disk drive module. It also shows the capacity of the disk drive module. See Figure 19. Figure 19. Disk Drive Module Handle and Capacity The replacement disk drive module should have at least the capacity of the disk drive module being replaced. © Copyright IBM Corp. 2001... -
Page 28: Before Exchanging A Disk Drive Module
Attention: v Disk drive modules are fragile. Handle them with care. Keep them well away from strong magnetic fields. v Any slot that has no disk drive module installed must contain a dummy disk drive module. The dummy module ensures that the correct airflow is maintained around the disk drive modules in the other slots. - Page 29 Figure 21. Removing a Disk Drive Module Attention: The fan speed may increase. Do not leave the slot empty for more than 30 minutes; if you do, the unit, and the disk drive modules, may overheat and be damaged. 4. With one hand giving support to the base of the replacement module and the other hand holding the handle 1 , insert the module and push it into the slot.
- Page 30 Attention: The speed of the fans may decrease. Figure 23. Closing the Handle 6. Verify that the disk drive module that you have just installed is aligned with the sides of the unit and that no gap exists between this module and the modules that are next to it.

Figure 24. Disk Drive Module Lights 8. Restore the disk drive module into your system, using the system programs. Exchanging a Fan-and-Power-Supply Assembly You can exchange a faulty fan-and-power-supply assembly if: v You have a correct spare fan-and-power-supply assembly and, v Another fan-and-power-supply assembly is still present in this unit. -
Page 32: Before Exchanging A Fan-And-Power-Supply Assembly
Before Exchanging a Fan-and-Power-Supply Assembly Check the lights on this fan-and-power-supply assembly (see: “Fan-and-Power- Supply Assemblies” on page 5). Ensure that the DC On/Standby switch is on. Attention: If the Check light is not on, do not exchange the power-supply assembly;... - Page 33 2. Unplug the mainline power cable from the failing fan-and-power-supply assembly. Figure 27. Unplugging the Mainline Power Cable CAUTION: Ensure that the mainline power cable has been removed from the failing fan-and-power-supply assembly, and the AC PWR light 1 is off, before continuing.

- Page 35 4. Pull the fan-and-power-supply assembly from the unit. Attention: The speed of the other fan in the unit may increase. Figure 29. Removing the Fan-and-Power-Supply Assembly Attention: Do not leave the space empty for more than 30 minutes; if you do, the unit, and the disk drive modules may overheat and be damaged.
- Page 36 5. Push the replacement fan-and-power-supply assembly fully into the unit. Attention: The speed of the other fan in the unit may decrease. Figure 30. Inserting a Replacement Fan-and-Power-Supply Assembly 6. Tighten the two thumbscrews by turning them clockwise. Figure 31.

- Page 37 7. Plug the mainline power cable into the new fan-and-power-supply assembly. Ensure that the AC PWR light 1 comes on. DANGER Do not plug the power supply cord into the fan-and-power-supply assembly until the unit has been completely installed and its retaining screws have been tightened.
- Page 38 8. Set the DC On/Standby switch 1 on the new fan-and-power-supply assembly to ON. Ensure that the DC PWR light 2 comes on. Attention: Note that the fan speeds may decrease. Figure 33. Fan-and-Power-Supply DC On/Standby Switch ProFibre Storage Array: Operator’s Guide...
- Page 39 9. If the amber CHK light 1 comes on, verify that the new fan-and-power- supply assembly is correctly installed. If it is correctly installed, refer to the StorageSmart - ProFibre Storage Array, RAID Controller Unit - DF1100R, Storage Expansion Unit - DF1100J: Service Guide, GY18-2409 for information about determining the cause of a problem.
