PowerVault (Dell MD1400) Setup Guide
Note:
If you are attaching more then 3 PowerVaults to a single port you may receive the
following Error message:
The total number of enclosures connected to connector 00, has
exceeded the maximum allowable limit of 3 enclosures. Please remove
the extra enclosure and then restart your system.
This error was caused by
the PERC profile settings. From the factory, the PERC profile is set to PD64. Setting the
profile to PD240 corrects the issue. Profile PD240 is labeled as “default”, however, this is not
set from the factory.
To set the PD Profile:
1. Enter the DELL PERC 10 Configuration Utility. See Navigating to Dell PERC 10
configuration utility.
2. Click Main Menu > Controller Management > Advanced Controller Properties > Profile
Management. Current profile and profile properties are displayed.
3. Change profile using the Choose Profile option.
4. Select Set Profile. Click Reboot.
The PowerVault comes with four SAS cables. You only need one cable to connect the
PowerVault to the host. For an RSA Series 6 host, use a cable with the mini-mini SAS
connector.
1. Ensure that the host is powered off.
2. Connect one end of the SAS cable to the
left
port of the RAID controller on the back of the
Archiver, Concentrator, or (Network) Decoder, host.
