Overview The IBM System Storage DS4000 EXP420 storage expansion enclosure (Machine Type 1812, Models 8VA and 8VH) provides high-capacity, SATA disk interface storage. The storage expansion enclosure delivers fast, high-volume data transfer, retrieval, and storage functions for multiple drives to multiple hosts.
Box ID labels (used to label the enclosure IDs on the front of the EXP420) A rack mounting template and instructions for installing the support rails and the storage expansion enclosure are provided in “Installing the support rails” on page IBM System Storage DS4000 EXP420 Storage Expansion Enclosure: Installation, User’s and Maintenance Guide...
To connect your EXP420 to DS4000 storage subsystems (such as the DS4200 Express) or other EXP420 storage expansion enclosures, IBM LC-LC fibre-channel cables are required. Two additional IBM 4 Gbps SFP modules are required to connect the EXP420 to more than one DS4000 storage expansion enclosure as part of a multiple DS4000 storage expansion enclosure and storage subsystem configuration.

ports (labeled 1A and 1B) near the center of the storage expansion enclosure are used. The SFP ports labeled 2A and 2B are reserved for future use. The EXP420 ESMs support automatic ESM firmware synchronization. This function allows a new ESM with a different level of ESM firmware to be automatically synchronized with the ESM firmware version in the existing ESM in the EXP420 chassis.

Note: Although both power supply and fan units (left and right) are identical, they are seated in the EXP420 chassis in opposite orientations. If the power supply and fan unit cannot fully be inserted in the power supply and fan unit bay, flip it 180 degree and reinsert it.
2-Gbps SFP that is plugged into a 4-Gbps-capable port will limit the speed of that port to a maximum of 2 Gbps. Carefully check the SFP’s IBM part number, option number, and FRU part number to identify its speed. There are no physical features that distinguish a 4 Gbps from a 2 Gbps SFP.
