Hsv Controller Cabling; Racks; Battery Status Indicators - HP StorageWorks 6100 - Enterprise Virtual Array User Manual

The table below describes the battery status indicators. When a battery is first installed, the fault
indicator goes on (solid) for approximately 30 seconds while the system discovers the new battery.
Then, the battery status indicators display the battery status as described in the table below.

HSV controller cabling

All data cables and power cables attach to the rear of the controller. Adjacent to each data connector
is a two-colored link status indicator.
indicators.
NOTE:
These indicators do not indicate whether there is communication on the link, only whether the link
can transmit and receive data.
The data connections are the interfaces to the disk drive enclosures or loop switches (depending on
your configuration), the other controller, and the fabric. Fiber optic cables link the controllers to the
fabric, and, if an expansion cabinet is part of the configuration, link the expansion cabinet drive
enclosures to the loop es in the main cabinet. Copper cables are used between the controllers (mirror
port) and between the controllers and the drive enclosures or loop switches.

Racks

All storage system components are mounted in a rack. Each configuration includes two controller
enclosures (the controller pair), drive enclosures, FC loop switches (if required), and an expansion
bulkhead. Each controller pair and all the associated drive enclosures form a single storage system.
