    Introduction RAIDStation7 Ultra160 SCSI Rackmount The RAIDStation7 rackmount model can be mounted in any standard equipment rack with a front width of 19 inches. The procedure for mounting the rackmount Storage Array in the equipment rack is described in Chapter 2. The rackmount Storage Array consists of two power supply units, a maximum of seven SCSI hard disk drives, three Advanced Cooling Modules (ACM’s), a Ver- satile Environmental Monitor (VEM), and a single Ultra160 Wide SCSI bus.

  • Page 14: Device Carriers

    Introduction Device Carriers Front loaded components such as disk drives and power supplies are housed in easily removable device carriers. The device carrier is the basic building block of the series. The device carriers are of high quality anodized metal construction. This allows for rapid heat dissipation and conforms to the stringent requirements of CE and FCC standards.

  • Page 15: Power Supplies

    Introduction Power Supplies The RAIDStation7 Ultra160 Storage Array is an AC-powered unit. The power supply is described below. AC Power Supply The RAIDStation7 Ultra160 Storage Array uses two high performance, hot swap power supply units. A single power supply is rated at 370 Watts peak. Each power supply has greater than 500,000 hours Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF).

  • Page 17: Chapter 2: Unpacking And Initial Setup

    On receipt, visually inspect the exterior of the packaging for any signs of damage. If any damage is found the carrier and Adaptec must be notified immediately, and they will advise you of the appropriate action. The cartons are sealed using pack- aging tape which should be cut open in the normal manner.

  • Page 18: Rackmounting Recommendations

    To ensure the safe and efficient operation of the RAIDStation7 Ultra160 SCSI rackmount Storage Array it is essential that you comply with the following guide- lines. Adaptec’s rackmount systems may be installed in closed or open rackmount cabinets by observing the environmental, electrical and mechanical precautions listed in the following sections.

  • Page 19: Electrical Considerations

    Each shelf should have a grounding braid running from it to this common grounding point (see Figure 2-1). A point for securing the grounding braid is provided at the rear of the Adaptec rackmount cabinets.

  • Page 21: Device Insertion

    Unpacking and Initial Setup Securely attach one end of the cable to the barrel of the 2-hole ground lug. Using the two M5x8 metal screws, attach the 2-hole ground lug and 6 AWG ground wire to the disk shelf. Do not overtighten the screws. Connect the opposite end of the 6-AWG grounding wire to the appropriate grounding point at your site, ensuring an adequate chassis ground.

  • Page 22: Power Supply Insertion

    Unpacking and Initial Setup Power Supply Insertion Power supplies are housed in device carriers (with a black ejection button) to allow for easy insertion. The power supply is designed for hot swappable opera- tion. Installing a Power Supply For tower Storage Array models orient the power supply carrier so that the LEDs are on the left and the ejection button is on the right (for rackmount systems the LEDs and button are on the top and bottom respectively).

  • Page 23: Advanced Cooling Module Insertion

    Advanced Cooling Module Insertion The RAIDstation7 Ultra160 SCSI Storage Array supports three ACMs mounted in the rear. Installing an Advanced Cooling Module (ACM) Hold the ACM at 90 Slide the ACM into an empty ACM slot (see Figure 2-4). Using the two panel fasteners on the ACM assembly secure the ACM in place.
  • Page 24 Unpacking and Initial Setup Rack Mounting a RAIDStation7 Ultra160 SCSI Storage Array The RAIDStation7 Ultra160 SCSI Storage Array rack mount shelf can be installed in a standard 19 inch equipment rack.

  • Page 25: Chapter 3: Cabling And Configuration

    Chapter 3: Cabling and Configuration This Chapter describes how to configure and set up the RAIDStation7 Ultra160 SCSI Storage Array and how to connect it to a host system.Ultra160. CAUTION: Static electricity can cause damage to both the host system and the RAIDStation7 Ultra160 SCSI Storage Array.

  • Page 26: Configuration Rules

    Cabling and Configuration Configuration Rules WARNING: These rules must be observed prior to configuring the RAIDStation7 Ultra160 SCSI Storage Array. When Configuring a Single Shelf A single shelf must be set to “First” shelf (see page 3-3). A single shelf may be either “Single Host” or “Dual Host” (see page 3-3). The VEM switch must be set to “Single VEM”.

  • Page 27: Setting First/Second Shelf

    Setting First/Second Shelf This switch enables a shelf to be set as the “First” or “Second” shelf. In Single shelf configurations this switch should always be set at First. In Dual shelf (daisy- chained) configurations, one shelf must be set as First and the second shelf must be set as Second.

  • Page 28: Setting Dual Vem Enable/Disable

    Cabling and Configuration Setting Dual VEM Enable/Disable This switch enables Dual VEM to be Enabled or Disabled for a shelf. In a single shelf configuration the Dual VEM Enable/Disable switch must be set to Disabled. In a dual shelf (daisy-chained) configuration the Dual VEM Enable/Disable switch must be set to Enabled.

  • Page 29: Scsi Id Selection

    SCSI ID Selection This section describes the SCSI ID mappings used in the RAIDStation7 Ultra160 SCSI Storage Array. The SCSI ID mapping and the System Configuration ID mapping are detailed. SCSI ID Mapping The SCSI ID’s are set automatically via the combination of configuration switch settings.

  • Page 30: System Configuration Id Mapping

    Cabling and Configuration System Configuration ID Mapping The following table sets out the ID mapping for the various configurations. For the purpose of this table each configuration will be represented by the number given to it on the first page of this chapter. The First Shelf is represented by “1st” and the Second Shelf is represented by “2nd”.

  • Page 31: Connecting To A Host System

    Connecting to a Host System This section describes the procedure for connecting the RAIDStation7 Ultra160 SCSI Storage Array to a single or dual host. NOTE: This section describes the connectors on the RAIDStation7 Ultra160 SCSI Storage Array, it does not describe the connectors on the host. For information relating to the host, refer to the host systems User Guide.

  • Page 32: Dual Shelf, Single Host

    Cabling and Configuration Dual Shelf, Single Host In this configuration two RAIDStation7 Ultra160 SCSI Storage Array shelves are daisy chained together and connected to a single host system. The SCSI cable is connected to the top I/O connector (when Storage Array is vertically oriented) of Shelf 1, the other end of this cable is connected to the host system.

  • Page 33: Dual Host Configurations

    Cabling and Configuration Dual Host Configurations Both the single shelf and dual shelf configurations described may be connected to dual host systems. This is achieved by daisy-chaining the host computers together. When connecting either a single or dual shelf configuration to dual hosts, ensure that the Single/Dual Host ID switch is set to Dual (on both shelves for dual shelf configurations).

  • Page 35: Chapter 4 Environmental Monitoring

    Chapter 4: Environmental Monitoring This Chapter deals with the various methods used to monitor the RAIDStation7 Ultra160 SCSI Storage Array. There are two methods used: • Versatile Environmental Monitor (VEM) - The VEM is a card that plugs into the backplane of the Storage Array. The VEM monitors the ACMs, power supply voltage outputs and enclosure temperature.

  • Page 36: Versatile Environmental Monitor (Vem)

    Environmental Monitoring Versatile Environmental Monitor (VEM) The VEM is a Storage Array environmental monitoring device. It sits on the backplane of the RAIDStation7 Ultra160 SCSI Storage Array. It gathers informa- tion about the state of the devices in the Storage Array, such as power supplies, disk drives, Advanced Cooling Modules and enclosure temperature.

  • Page 37: In-Band Reporting

    Environmental Monitoring In-Band Reporting The VEM communicates with the host system using in-band reporting and sup- ports both SAF-TE and SES protocols. The VEM card sits on the SCSI bus and communicates directly to the host(s). The VEM card has it’s own SCSI ID (see below) and is seen as a separate target by the host(s).

  • Page 38: Advanced Cooling Module Failure Led

    Environmental Monitoring Advanced Cooling Module Failure LED Each ACM has a fault LED built into it (see Figure 4-2). If an ACM fails, its ACM Failure LED will turn on, and the alarm buzzer on the VEM card will sound. The alarm buzzer may be silenced by pressing the alarm silence button. Figure 4-2.
