Installation Example (ETERNUS DX8700 S3/DX8900 S3)
The ETERNUS DX8700 S3/DX8900 S3 can be connected with multiple controller enclosures and multiple drive en-
closures. A single controller enclosure and the drive enclosures that are connected directly are handled as one
group, and this group is called a node.
Installation patterns differ depending on the number of drive enclosures within a single node and whether a
UNIX/industry standard server connection or a mainframe connection is used (when following the standard in-
stallation rules). The following example shows an installation to a 19-inch rack.
●
Example of an Installation for a UNIX/Industry Standard Server Connection
•
When connecting six or less drive enclosures per node
-
Power distribution units (horizontal type) are installed in the lower part of each rack.
-
A single frontend enclosure is installed in a base rack.
-
Controller enclosures and drive enclosures are installed in the order of each node.
-
The installation position of controller enclosures is fixed.
-
Even if the number of drive enclosures per node is odd, leave a space between the drive enclosures.
