  • Page 2: Storage-System Major Components

    Storage-system major components The storage system consists of: A storage processor enclosure (SPE2) and two standby power supplies (SPSs) One Fibre Channel disk-array enclosure (DAE) with a minimum of five disk drives Optional DAEs DAE3P SPE2 EMC3465 Figure 1 Storage system The high-availability features for the storage system include: Redundant storage processors (SPs) Standby power supplies (SPS)
  • Page 3 and includes two storage processors (SPs). Each SP has four Fibre Channel front-end I/O ports and four back-end disk ports. The storage system supports 4 Gb/s Fibre Channel operation from its front-end host I/O ports through its back-end disk ports. The host I/O front-end ports can operate at up to 4 Gb/s and the back-end ports can operate at 2 or 4 Gb/s.

  • Page 4: Storage Processor Enclosure (Spe2)

    Storage processor enclosure (SPE2) The SPE2 components include: A sheet-metal enclosure with a midplane and front bezel Two storage processors (SPs), each consisting of one CPU module and two I/O modules Two management modules, each with SPS, management, and service connectors Four blowers Two power supplies Figure 2 shows the SPE2 components.

  • Page 7 Fault Power Management Service Service EMC3368 Figure 4 CX3–80 management module Power supplies A power supply is located on each side of the SPE2. Each power supply is an auto-ranging, power-factor-corrected, multi-output, offline converter with its own line cord and power switch. Each supply supports the SPE2 and shares load currents with the other supply.
  • Page 8 Management modules Small form-factor pluggable (SFP) modules, which plug into the Fibre Channel front-end port slots Power supplies Blowers You or your service provider can replace a failed power supply, blower, or SFP module. A service provider must replace the other FRUs if they fail.

  • Page 9: Disk-Array Enclosures (Dae3Ps)

    Disk-array enclosures (DAE3Ps) DAE3P UltraPoint™ (sometimes called "point-to-point") disk-array enclosures are highly available, high-performance, high-capacity storage-system components that use a Fibre Channel Arbitrated Loop (FC-AL) as the interconnect interface. A disk enclosure connects to another DAE3P or an SPE2 and is managed by storage-system software in RAID (redundant array of independent disks) configurations.
  • Page 10 The LCCs, disk modules, power supply/system cooling modules, and filler modules are field-replaceable units (FRUs), which can be added or replaced without hardware tools while the storage system is powered up. Figure 5 shows the disk enclosure components. Where the enclosure provides slots for two identical components, the components are called component-name A or component-name B, as shown in the illustrations.

  • Page 16: Standby Power Supplies (Spss)

    Standby power supplies (SPSs) Two 2U 2200-watt DC SPSs provide backup power for one SPE2 and the first (enclosure 0, bus 0) DAE3P adjacent to it. The two SPSs provide high availability and allow write caching — which prevents data loss during a power failure — to continue. A faulted or not fully charged SPS disables write caching.

  • Page 17: Powerup And Powerdown Sequence

    Powerup and powerdown sequence The SPE2 and DAE3P do not have power switches. Powering up the storage system 1. Verify the following: Master switch/circuit breakers for each cabinet/rack power strip are off. The two power cords for the SPE2 power supplies are plugged into the SPSs and the power cord retention bails are in place.
  • Page 18 Each AC circuit in the 40U-C cabinet requires a source connection that can support a minimum of 4800 VA of single phase, 200-240 V AC input power. For high availability, the left and right sides of the cabinet must receive power from separate branch feed circuits.

  • Page 20 SPSs are charging. The powerup is complete when the CPU power light on each SP is steady green. If amber LEDs on the front or back of the storage system remain on for more than 15 minutes (45 minutes for the first powerup of a field-installed system), make sure the storage system is correctly cabled, and then refer to the troubleshooting flowcharts for your storage system on the CLARiiON Tools page on the EMC Powerlink website...
