Welcome to this Web Based Training session providing an introduction to the
hardware installation for the ETERNUS DX80 S2 and DX90 S2.
1
In this first chapter we will look at the steps involved in the hardware installation of
the system.
Following subjects will be covered:
First some words about the package contents
Then we will continue with the Controller and Disk Enclosure rack mounting
As next we take a look at the AC Power Cabling as well as the SAS backend cabling
also known as QSFP.
Power on and power off procedures will be described before we finish this Web
Based Training session by explaining the use of the Function Button located in the
Operator Panel.
2
The following two slides show the contents of the packages for a Controller
Enclosure and Drive Enclosure. Both packages include a rack-mount kit, two power
cords and the documentation for the installation and use of the system.
The plastic flange covers are meant to be fitted on the front of the system at the right
and left hand side after having carried out the hardware installation.
The delivered push pin tool can be used to push the tiny Function Button at the
Operator Panel. Its use and the meaning of the Function Button will be covered as
the last item in this Web Based Training module.
3
The Drive Enclosure package includes the necessary backend SAS cables. These
cables are also called QSFP cables and are used for cabling between the Drive
Enclosures and the Controller Enclosure.
The abbreviation QSFP stands for Quad Small Form-factor Pluggable, in other words
an SFP with four SAS channels.
If the customer has ordered an ETERNUS DX S2 Entry system in a single Controller
Module configuration, the Drive Enclosure also comes as default with a single I/O
Module only. In that case only one IOM6 module per Drive Enclosure is available.
Since both packages can be rather heavy if fully configured, it may be a good idea to
have somebody helping when unpacking and installing the system in the rack.
As you are unpacking the systems make sure that everything is included in the
package.
4
Now we will start off the first part of the hardware installation: fitting the system in a
rack. The next five slides describe the rack installation for a Fujitsu rack type used
primarily by Fujitsu Technology Solutions. In the rack-mount kit, you can find:
A bracket
Left hand side and right hand side slide rails
A bag with screws and nuts
The overview shows how the parts are installed in a rack.

Summary of Contents for Eternus DX80 S2

  • Page 1 The abbreviation QSFP stands for Quad Small Form-factor Pluggable, in other words an SFP with four SAS channels. If the customer has ordered an ETERNUS DX S2 Entry system in a single Controller Module configuration, the Drive Enclosure also comes as default with a single I/O Module only.
  • Page 2 This illustration provides an overview showing the front of the rack installation of an ETERNUS DX S2 Entry system including all screws, rails and enclosure positions. Now the Controller Enclosure and/or Drive Enclosure can be fitted in the rack. As each unit can have a weight of up to 35 kilos, it is recommended to have somebody helping when lifting and fitting the system in the rack.
  • Page 3 These are the parts needed for upgrading a single controller configuration with two Disk Enclosures to a redundant dual controller configuration. Now we are ready to power on the ETERNUS DX S2 system. First we have to turn on the AC power switch of the Power Supply Units in each Enclosure.
  • Page 4 The same can be achieved by selecting "Shut down" from the ETERNUS Web GUI. Consequently, the system shuts down in about 30 seconds. In the case of moving the ETERNUS DX system to a new location, do not forget to disconnect the AC power cords from the rack Power Distribution Units.
  • Page 5 There are three different functionalities that can be managed with the Function Button. The status of the ETERNUS DX S2 Entry system can be changed to "Maintenance" by keeping the Function Button pressed for three seconds. Consequently the "MAINT/ID" LED lights up in green.

This manual is also suitable for:
