Chapter 2. System overview This section is an overview of the IBM COS Small Disk Enclosure that looks at the front, top, and rear panels. Small disk enclosure The disk enclosure consists of a sheet metal enclosure assembly with an integrated mid plane PCB and module runner system.
Figure 2. IBM COS 2U12 Enclosure System – front view Figure 3. IBM COS 2U12 Enclosure System – rear view 4 IBM Cloud Object Storage System: IBM Small J10 Disk Enclosure Manual...
Enclosure specifications Available small disk enclosures are described below. IBM COS small disk enclosure 2U12 12 x low profile (1 inch high), 3.5 inch form factor drives. Table 2. IBM COS small disk enclosure variants Product Configuration PCMs SBB I/O...
Note: Refer to the section on “Ops Panel LEDs” for a description of the LED and switch functions. 6 IBM Cloud Object Storage System: IBM Small J10 Disk Enclosure Manual...
Table 3. Ops Panel LEDs Status Status System Power Constant green: good or positive indication Constant amber: fault present Module Fault Constant or flashing amber: fault present Logical Fault Constant or flashing amber: fault present Power cooling module (PCM) AC-DC power is provided by up to four auto-ranging power cooling modules (PCMs) with integrated axial cooling fans, up to 2 in each module.
Amber Multiple PCMs The IBM COS small disk enclosure system includes two PCMs in multiple PCMs that provide redundant power control for the system. This is done so that if one PCM fails, the other(s) maintains the power supply and enclosure operation is not affected while you replace the faulty module.
PSUs are hot-pluggable, and replacement should only take a few seconds to do. Replacement must be completed as soon as possible after the removal of the defective PSU to avoid a thermal exception. The replacement procedure should be completed within an absolute maximum of three minutes. Important: Operation of the enclosure with any modules missing will disrupt the airflow, and the disks will not receive sufficient cooling.
SAS-3 universal port. Blank I/O modules Blank I/O modules are provided and must be put in any vacant I/O module bay to make sure of airflow and correct operation. 10 IBM Cloud Object Storage System: IBM Small J10 Disk Enclosure Manual...
Figure 10. Blank I/O Module Drive carrier modules The drive carrier module comprises a hard disk held by a carrier. • Each drive bay holds a single low profile 1.0 inch high, 3.5 inch form factor disk drive in its carrier. Drives are horizontal.
These locks disable the normal ‘pinch’ latch action of the carrier handle. Figure 12. Anti-tamper Lock (3.5” Drive) 12 IBM Cloud Object Storage System: IBM Small J10 Disk Enclosure Manual...
How to prepare the site and host server Before you start, make sure that the site where you will install and use your IBM COS small storage system has: • A Standard AC power from an independent source or a rack power distribution unit with an UPS (Universal Power Supply).
Contact IBM support to make sure suitable mounting rails are available for the rack you are to use. Installing the enclosure 1. Remove the rack mounting rail kit from the accessories box and examine for damage. 2. Use the procedure given below to attach the rack brackets to the rack posts.
System configurations The basic configuration is a single IBM COS Small Disk Enclosure connected to a single IBM COS Controller Node 18 IBM Cloud Object Storage System: IBM Small J10 Disk Enclosure Manual...
SAS cable connections The following figure and steps describe how to connect the SAS cables from a single IBM COS Small Disk Enclosure connected to a single IBM COS Controller Node, and when to power the unit on. Figure 17. SAS cable connections 1.

Temperature sensors throughout the enclosure and its components monitor the thermal health of the storage system. Exceeding the limits of critical values will cause a notification to occur. 28 IBM Cloud Object Storage System: IBM Small J10 Disk Enclosure Manual...
Troubleshooting the small disk enclosure system Alarm conditions The following sections describe common problems that can occur with your small disk enclosure system, and some possible solutions. For the problems listed in the table below, the pertinent fault LEDs on the enclosure front panel will light amber to indicate a fault.
Use of the enclosure in a fully enclosed rack is not recommended. 5. If possible shutdown the enclosure and investigate the problem before continuing. 30 IBM Cloud Object Storage System: IBM Small J10 Disk Enclosure Manual...
If a small disk enclosure is equipped with two or more PCMs, they can maintain power to the system while a faulty PCM is replaced.

Replacing a drive carrier module Important: Observe all conventional ESD precautions when handling COS small disk enclosure modules and components. Avoid contact with midplane components and module connectors, etc. Removing a 3.5-inch Drive Carrier Module Important: Damage can occur to a drive if it is removed while it still spins. If possible use the operating system to spin down the drives prior to removal.
2. Put the drive carrier module into the enclosure as shown in the following figure. Make sure that the drive carrier is in a position so that the drive points up and the handle opens from the left. 38 IBM Cloud Object Storage System: IBM Small J10 Disk Enclosure Manual...

Figure 28. Installing a Drive Carrier Module (1 of 2) 3. Slide the drive carrier fully into the enclosure. 4. Cam the drive carrier home. The camming foot on the carrier will engage into a slot in the enclosure. Continue to push firmly until the handle fully engages. A click should be heard as the latch engages and holds the handle closed.
2. Pull the latch out to release the module from the enclosure as shown in the following figure. Figure 31. I/O Module Latch Operation 3. Grip the latch handles and remove the module as shown in the following figure. 40 IBM Cloud Object Storage System: IBM Small J10 Disk Enclosure Manual...
