Description

Power supply unit

Rear panel

Two PSUs provide full power

redundancy, allowing the system

to continue to operate while a

faulty PSU is replaced.

System fan

Rear panel

Four system fans provide cooling,

allowing the system to continue

to operate while a faulty system

fan is replaced.

I/O module

Rear panel

TheIOM must be installed in IOM

slot No.0 and an IOM blank must

be installed in IOM slot No.1.

Disk drive module

Top panel

See “Populating disk drive slots”

on page 12.

Channel fan

Top panel

Two channel fan modules of the

same model type are supported.

HS Expander

Top panel

Four removable hot swap

expanders are supported: one

per 12-drive bay.

Preparing the site and host server

Before beginning the enclosure installation, verify that the site where you will install your storage system

has the following:
• A mechanical lift that can safely hoist a 280 lb high-density enclosure for installation into a 1.2 m rack.
• A proper redundant AC power source or a rack power distribution unit (PDU) with an Uninterruptible

Power Supply (UPS).

• A host computer configured with the appropriate software, BIOS, and drives. Contact your supplier for

the correct software configurations.

• A static-protected environment for temporarily storing disk drive modules if the enclosure is intended

for rack-mount use. See the Chapter 2, “Safety guidelines,” on page 3 before unpacking the enclosure

and installing it in the rack.

Before installing the enclosure, verify the existence of the following:
• SAS HBA
• Qualified cable options for host connection and EBOD cascades
• One suitable C20 to C19 power cord per PSU
• Rail kit and Cable Management Arm (for rack installation)
• Disk drive modules for use in populating the disk slots after the enclosure is secured into the rack.
Contact IBM support for a list of qualified accessories for use with the enclosure. The accessories box

contains the power cords and other accessories.
