Quick Installation Guide

Battery Backup Unit (BBU)

Installation

NOTE:

The BBU isinstalled in the controller

module, directly above the DIMM.

Prior to installingthe BBU, makesure

that a DIMMhas been installed on

the controllerboard.

Toinstall the BBUplease follow these

steps:

Step 1: Removethe two retention

screws that are oneither side ofthe

DIMM module,diagonally across from

each other.Twospacers should have

come with each BBU unit.Install one

spacer into each of thescrew holes

that previouslycontained the retention

screws. (seeFigure 1)

Step 2:Once the spacers have been

inserted, connect the BBUconnector

to the onboardconnector onthe side of

the controller board. Make sure that

the connectoris firmly attached and

that the connection is secure. (See

Figure 2)

Step 3:After the BBUconnectors have

been firmly connected to thecontroller

board, mount the BBU bracket onto

the two spacers. Correctly line the

arms of thebracket with the two

spacers suchthat it ispossible to re-

insert the previously removed

retention screws.(See Figure 3)

Step 4:Once the armshave been

correctly alignedwith the spacers, re-

insert the retention screws through

the arms ofthe bracket, into the

spacers. Thiswill secure theBBU to

the controllermodule. (See Figure 3)

Quick Installation Guide

Step 1: Holdthe RAID controller unit byits edges and insert itinto the

controller bay. Push theunit in untilit reaches theend of thecontroller

bay. The guiderails on thesides of thecontroller bay should make the

plug-in processan effort-lesstask. You should beable to feelthe

contact resistanceof the dockingconnector when pushing the

controller inwards.

Step 2: Pullthe ejector handleoutwards and orient itto an angleof

approximately 15degree relative tothe controller rearpanel. Carefully

orient it sothat the notcheson the handlecan lock ontothe protruded

edge of enclosure rail onthe left-hand side.This iscrucial for the

positive insertionof the controllerunit. (see Figure 4)

Step 3:Secure the controller module tothe enclosure byfastening the hand

screw. Insert the retentionscrew on theright hand sideof the ejector

Handle.

Dongle/MUX Kit Installation

Note :

If you areusing SATAdrives in thesingle controller subsystemit is not

necessary to installa dongle kit.If you wishto install PATA drivesor if youare

using a redundantcontroller subsystem, dongle/MUXkits must beinstalled.

ToInstall a dongle/MUXkit please followthese instructions

Step 1:The SATA-to-PATA dongle/MUX

kit is shownin Figure 5. It is

Mounted on ametal base that

has three pre-drilledholes

reserved for retentionscrews.

Step 2:Three corresponding pre-drilled

screw holes canbe found atthe

Back of thedrive tray shownin

Note:

Before installing thecontroller module

please ensure thatboth the BBUand

the SDRAM DIMMModules have been

installed.

Quick Installation Guide

Hard Drive Installation

Hard drive installationwithout a

dongle/MUX kit

Step 1: Placethe SATAhard drive into

the drive tray(as shown inFigure 8)

making sure thatthe hard driveis

oriented in sucha way thatthe single

connector attachment (SCA)connector

is facing theback of thedrive tray.

Step 2:Adjust the drive'slocation

until the mountingholes in thedrive

canister are alignedwith those onthe

hard drive. Securethe drive with4

supplied 6/32 flat-headscrews. (See

Figure 8)

Hard drive installationwith a

dongle/MUX kit

Step 1: Forthe SATAdrives, connect

the HDD tothe dongle/MUX kitand

make sure thatthe dongle/MUX kit

connector is firmlyattached to theHDD

connector.For the PATA drives,

connect theATA andpower cables

from the dongle/MUXkit to thehard

drive (seeFigure 9). Make surethat

these connections aresecure and will

not come loose.

Figure 7: Placethe dongle boardat the rear

of the drivetray.

Step 3: Placethe dongle/MUX kitat

the back ofthe drive tray. Hold

the dongle kitin place andturn

the drive trayover. Align the

holes in the baseof the drive

tray with theholes in thedongle

/MUX kit basetray.

(Refer toFigure 7)

Step 4: Insertthe three available

retention screwsfrom the

bottom of thedrive tray. These

screws will firmlysecure the

dongle/MUX kit tothe drive tray

and facilitate theinstallation of

The appropriatedrive.

Drive Tray Installation

Note:

After the harddrives have beeninstalled into thedrive trays.The trays

themselves must beinserted into theEonStor subsystem.

Toinstall the drivetrays into thesubsystem please followthese instruction.

Figure 13: Drive traykey-lock rotation

Step 1:Make sure the key-lock isin the

unlocked position. The key-lockis

unlocked if thegroove (on itsface) is ina

horizontal orientation. Ifthe groove isin a

vertical position, asshown in Figure 11

then the key-lockis locked andthe front

flap on thedrive tray cannotbe opened.

Step 2: Openthe front flapon the drive

tray (see Figure 12) To open theflap,

push the clip(shown in Figure 11) on the

front of thedrive tray inan upward

direction. The clipis easily accessibleand

is easily lifted.

Step 3: Linethe drive trayup with the

slot in which youwish to insertit. Make

sure that itis resting onthe rails insidethe

enclosure. Once thedrive tray islined up

with the slot,gently slide itin. This should

be done smoothlyand gently.

Step 4: Closethe front flapon the drive

tray. Make surethe front flapis closed

properly. Closingthe front flapensures

that the SCAconnector at theback of the

drive tray isfirmly connected tothe

corresponding connector on themid-

plane board. Ifthe front flapis not closed

properly then theconnection between the

HDD and thesubsystem will notbe secure.

Tolock the flapinto place turnthe key-

lock until thegroove on itsface is ina

vertical orientation. (SeeFigure 13)

Step 2:Once the connectorsfrom the dongleboard have beenfirmly attached to

the hard drive,place the harddrive into thedrive trayas shown inFigure 10.

Step 3:Adjust the drive'slocation until the mountingholes in thedrive canister

are aligned withthose on thehard drive. Securethe drive with4 supplied 6/32

flat-head screws.

Quick Installation Guide

Subsystem Cable Connections

Note:

Once all thehardware components have

been installed, thefollowing items must

be connected toexternally.

Power Cable:

Two powercables, that aresupplied with

the EonStor subsystem,must be plugged

into the PSUsockets at therear of the

EonStor subsystem, andconnected

directly to themains. ThePSU socket can

be seen inFigure 14.

Host Ports:

The FC-to-SATAcontroller modules come

with two SFPconnectors at therear of the

controller module forhost connectivity

and can beseen in Figure 16 and Figure

17. (Details onFC cables andSFP

connectors can befound in Hardware

Manual). TheSCSI-to-SATA subsystem

comes with twoVHDCI host connectors

(see Figure 15) at therear of the

controller module thatmust also be

connected to anexternal host computer.

RS-232C Audio Jack:

Each controller modulecomes with two

RS-232C AudioJack serial ports.One

port is reservedfor terminal emulation

management the otherport is usedfor

UPS support. Two audiojack to DB9

cables are providedto facilitate the

connection of theseserial ports.

RJ-45 Ethernet Port:

The RS-232CAudio Jack serialports can

be used toassign a permanentIP tothe

EonStor subsystem.After a permanentIP

address has beenassigned, shielded

Ethernet cables mustbe used toconnect

the RJ-45 Ethernetport to ahub on a

network. Thisenables users tomanage

their subsystem viathe web.

Quick Installation Guide

Expansion:

The redundant controllermodules

come with athird SFP connector(see

Figure 17) for subsystemexpansion.

This SFP connectorcan be connected

to an externalJBOD to helpincrease

the overall capacityof the storage

network.

Power On:

Topower on thesubsystem follow the

procedure shown below:

1. Install allthe hardware components.

2. Make allthe connections described

Above

3. Power onany external connection

devices (e.g. hubsand switches)

4. For redundantmodels, power on

external JBODs thatare connected

to the expansionport.

5. Power Onthe subsystem byturning

on the switchesshown inFigure 18.

6. Power onthe Host Computers.

For more detailson the poweron

procedure, please referto the
