Chapter 2 Set Up the Rack
Figure 16 Fully loaded 42U racks for four Slammers and 64 Bricks
Important! In the above configuration, make sure Fiber Channel (FC) and serial
ATA (SATA) Bricks are loaded in the cabinet so that the power load on the PDU
is correct. The illustration assumes a 230 V power supply.
Note: The physical Brick names used above are for illustration and indicate the
physical location of the Brick in the rack. The actual names or logical names, as
seen in the Pillar Axiom Storage Services Manager, can be different. The logical
location or numbering of each Brick is determined during the installation and
follows the scheme Brick001, Brick002, Brick003, and so on.
Note: The Brick names used above are for illustration; actual names, as seen in
the Pillar Axiom Storage Services Manager, may be different.
Note: Any components that are not installed must be replaced with filler panels.
Also, 2U of space is reserved above the PDUs for cable routing. The number and
type of PDUs depends on the power supply. If more PDUs are needed, then
everything has to move up to make room, keeping the 2U of reserved space, and
moving any Bricks displaced at the top to the next rack.
When using SATA Bricks, the preceding configuration can use as few as two
Slammers. Replace the empty spaces for the missing Slammers with filler panels.
When you install the Bricks, work from the bottom of the rack toward the top. If
you have additional racks of Bricks, install those Bricks from the top down in the
additional racks.
