Detailed guide - AFF A400

This guide gives detailed step-by-step instructions for installing a typical NetApp system.

Use this guide if you want more detailed installation instructions.

Step 1: Prepare for installation

To install your system, you need to create an account, register the system, and get

license keys. You also need to inventory the appropriate number and type of cables for

your system and collect specific network information.

Before you begin

You need to have access to the Hardware Universe for information about site requirements as well as

additional information on your configured system. You might also want to have access to the Release Notes for

your version of ONTAP for more information about this system.

NetApp Hardware Universe

Find the Release Notes for your version of ONTAP 9

You need to provide the following at your site:

•Rack space for the storage system

•Phillips #2 screwdriver

•Additional networking cables to connect your system to your network switch and laptop or console with a

Web browser

Steps

1. Unpack the contents of all boxes.

2. Record the system serial number from the controllers.

3. Inventory and make a note of the number and types of cables you received.

The following table identifies the types of cables you might receive. If you receive a cable not listed in the

table, see the Hardware Universe to locate the cable and identify its use.

Step 2: Install the hardware

You need to install your system in a 4-post rack or NetApp system cabinet, as applicable.

1. Install the rail kits, as needed.

2. Install and secure your system using the instructions included with the rail kit.

You need to be aware of the safety concerns associated with the weight of the system.

3. Attach cable management devices (as shown).

4. Place the bezel on the front of the system.

Step 3: Cable controllers to your network

You can cable the controllers to your network by using the two-node switchless cluster

method or by using the cluster interconnect network.

Option 1: Cable a two-node switchless cluster

The optional data ports, optional NIC cards, and management ports on the controller

modules are connected to switches. The cluster interconnect and HA ports are cabled on

both controller modules.

You must have contacted your network administrator for information about connecting the system to the

switches.

Be sure to check the direction of the cable pull-tabs when inserting the cables in the ports. Cable pull-tabs are

up for all onboard ports and down for expansion (NIC) cards.

As you insert the connector, you should feel it click into place; if you do not feel it click, remove

it, turn it around and try again.

Steps

1. Use the animation or illustration to complete the cabling between the controllers and to the switches:

2. Go to Step 4: Cable controllers to drive shelves for drive shelf cabling instructions.

Option 2: Cable a switched cluster

The optional data ports, optional NIC cards, mezzanine cards, and management ports on

the controller modules are connected to switches. The cluster interconnect and HA ports

are cabled on to the cluster/HA switch.

You must have contacted your network administrator for information about connecting the system to the

switches.

Be sure to check the direction of the cable pull-tabs when inserting the cables in the ports. Cable pull-tabs are

up for all onboard ports and down for expansion (NIC) cards.

As you insert the connector, you should feel it click into place; if you do not feel it click, remove

it, turn it around and try again.

Steps

1. Use the animation or illustration to complete the cabling between the controllers and to the switches:

Switched cluster cabling

2. Go to Step 4: Cable controllers to drive shelves for drive shelf cabling instructions.

Step 4: Cable controllers to drive shelves

You can cable either NSS224 or SAS shelves to you system.

Option 1: Cable the controllers to a single drive shelf

You must cable each controller to the NSM modules on the NS224 drive shelf.

Be sure to check the illustration arrow for the proper cable connector pull-tab orientation. The cable pull-tab for

the NS224 are up.

As you insert the connector, you should feel it click into place; if you do not feel it click, remove

it, turn it around and try again.

Steps

1. Use the following animation or illustration to cable your controllers to a single drive shelf.

Cabling the controllers to one NS224 drive shelf

2. Go to Step 5: Complete system setup and configuration to complete system setup and configuration.

Option 2: Cable the controllers to two drive shelves

You must cable each controller to the NSM modules on both NS224 drive shelves.

Be sure to check the illustration arrow for the proper cable connector pull-tab orientation. The cable pull-tab for

the NS224 are up.

As you insert the connector, you should feel it click into place; if you do not feel it click, remove

it, turn it around and try again.

Steps

1. Use the following animation or illustration to cable your controllers to two drive shelves.

Cabling controllers to two NS224 drive shelves

2. Go to Step 5: Complete system setup and configuration to complete system setup and configuration.

Option 3: Cable the controllers to SAS drive shelves

You must cable each controller to the IOM modules on both SAS drive shelves.

Be sure to check the illustration arrow for the proper cable connector pull-tab orientation. The cable pull-tab for

the DS224-C are down.
