Cabling

 

the

 

storage

 

server

 

This

 

chapter

 

provides

 

Fibre

 

Channel

 

and

 

power

 

cabling

 

information

 

for

 

the

 

storage

 

server.

 

After

 

you

 

attach

 

the

 

storage

 

server

 

power

 

cables,

 

use

 

the

 

instructions

 

that

 

are

 

provided

 

in

 

“Turning

 

the

 

storage

 

server

 

on

 

and

 

off”

 

on

 

page

 

45

 

for

 

the

 

initial

 

startup

 

of

 

the

 

storage

 

server.

 

Working

 

with

 

SFPs

 

and

 

fiber-optic

 

cables

 

Each

 

RAID

 

controller

 

CRU

 

contains

 

ports

 

for

 

SFP

 

modules

 

that

 

connect

 

to

 

the

 

fiber-optic

 

cables.

 

Two

 

of

 

the

 

SFP

 

ports

 

are

 

for

 

host

 

server

 

attachment.

 

On

 

the

 

DS4300

 

Model

 

60U/60X,

 

each

 

RAID

 

controller

 

also

 

has

 

an

 

additional

 

port

 

that

 

connects

 

DS4000

 

EXP

 

storage

 

expansion

 

enclosures

 

to

 

the

 

storage

 

server.

 

First,

 

insert

 

the

 

SFP

 

into

 

the

 

port,

 

and

 

then

 

a

 

insert

 

a

 

fiber-optic

 

cable

 

into

 

the

 

SFP.

 

The

 

other

 

end

 

of

 

the

 

fiber-optic

 

cable

 

connects

 

to

 

an

 

external

 

device.

 

Note

 

that

 

SFPs

 

are

 

laser

 

products.

 

 

Statement

 

3

 

 

 

CAUTION:

 

When

 

laser

 

products

 

(such

 

as

 

CD-ROMs,

 

DVD

 

drives,

 

fiber

 

optic

 

devices,

 

or

 

transmitters)

 

are

 

installed,

 

note

 

the

 

following:

 

v

   

Do

 

not

 

remove

 

the

 

covers.

 

Removing

 

the

 

covers

 

of

 

the

 

laser

 

product

 

could

 

result

 

in

 

exposure

 

to

 

hazardous

 

laser

 

radiation.

 

There

 

are

 

no

 

serviceable

 

parts

 

inside

 

the

 

device.

 

v

   

Use

 

of

 

controls

 

or

 

adjustments

 

or

 

performance

 

of

 

procedures

 

other

 

than

 

those

 

specified

 

herein

 

might

 

result

 

in

 

hazardous

 

radiation

 

exposure.

 

 

  

 

Danger

 

Some

 

laser

 

products

 

contain

 

an

 

embedded

 

Class

 

3A

 

or

 

Class

 

3B

 

laser

 

diode.

 

Note

 

the

 

following.

 

Laser

 

radiation

 

when

 

open.

 

Do

 

not

 

stare

 

into

 

the

 

beam,

 

do

 

not

 

view

 

directly

 

with

 

optical

 

instruments,

 

and

 

avoid

 

direct

 

exposure

 

to

 

the

 

beam.

  

Handling

 

fiber-optic

 

cables

 

Before

 

using

 

fiber-optic

 

cables,

 

read

 

the

 

following

 

precautions.

 

 

Attention:

  

To

 

avoid

 

damage

 

to

 

the

 

fiber-optic

 

cables,

 

follow

 

these

 

guidelines:

 

v

   

Do

 

not

 

route

 

the

 

cable

 

along

 

a

 

folding

 

cable-management

 

arm.

 

v

   

When

 

attaching

 

to

 

a

 

device

 

on

 

slide

 

rails,

 

leave

 

enough

 

slack

 

in

 

the

 

cable

 

so

 

that

 

it

 

does

 

not

 

bend

 

to

 

a

 

radius

 

of

 

less

 

than

 

38

 

mm

 

(1.5

 

in.)

 

when

 

extended

 

or

 

become

 

pinched

 

when

 

retracted.
