IBM System Storage TS7650G 3958 DD4, Installation Roadmap Manual

Page: 73 / 232

a. Partially insert the large air duct housing into the frame by sliding it along
the side rails.
b.
Insert long screws into the holes located near the bottom of each side of the
air duct housing.
c. Slide the plastic spacers over the backs of the screws.
d. Slowly slide the air duct housing into the frame, taking care to align the
screws with the holes in the frame.
e. Tighten the screws to secure the air duct housing to the frame.
4. Install the Ethernet switches into the air duct housing. To do so, working from
the back side of the frame:
a.
Carefully slide one of the Ethernet switches into the air duct housing at
position 3 on the frame, with the Ethernet ports facing outward.
b. Aligning the top hole in the mounting bracket on the Ethernet switch with
the guide pins on the rails.
c.
Insert a short flanged screw into the bottom holes on each side of the
mounting bracket, and tighten the screws to secure the Ethernet switch to
the rails.
d. Repeat the steps above for the other Ethernet switch.
5. When installation of the 1 Gb Ethernet switches is complete, go to “Cabling a
clustered gateway” on page 49.
Applying cable labels
Apply cable labels to the power, Ethernet and fibre channel cables.
About this task
Use the IBM System Storage TS7600 with ProtecTIER Labeling Instructions for the
TS7650/TS7650G (3958 DD4 and 3958 AP1), IBM part number 46X6059 for label
placement guidelines and instructions. When applying labels, align the center
reference lines on the label with the axis of the cable.
Cabling a stand-alone gateway
This procedure provides steps for cabling the components included in the purchase
of the TS7650G stand-alone gateway to each other, as well as to the power
distribution units (PDUs), the recommended disk controllers, and the customer
network.
About this task
For other supported components, review this information for general guidelines,
then refer to the manufacturers' documentation for details. More information, see
the IBM System Storage TS7650 Best Practices Guide for ProtecTIER v 2.5 and TS7650G
(Gateway) Attached Storage, IBM form number GA32-0646.
Tip: For simplicity and ease of use, the instructions for each type of cable
connection (power, Ethernet, and fibre channel) start on a new page.
Notes:
v
Cat 5e or higher cable is required for all Ethernet connections.
v Route all cables through the cable management arms and secure with straps.
