EonStor F16F-R/S4031 Installation and Hardware Reference Manual
4.
Cabling:
All the fiber optical cables that connect the subsystem to the
hosts, SAN (Storage Area Network), and expansion enclosures must be
separately purchased. Please see
Chapter 4
for sample topologies and
configuration options. Infortrend provides certified cables of different
lengths and SFP transceivers. Please refer to
Appendix B
for details.
5.
SFP transceivers:
If the FC cables that were previously purchased do
not come with SFP transceivers, transceivers must be separately
purchased and connected to the FC cables. (See
Section 4.1.4
)
6.
Memory modules:
If you wish to change the pre-installed DDR RAM
DIMM module, the separately purchased module(s) must be installed
before power-up. (See
Section 5.3
)
7.
Rack installation:
The enclosure chassis can be installed into standard
19” rack cabinet using self-purchased mounting rails, rear-attached
brackets, or Infortrend’s
IFT-9273CSlider
rackmount brackets. (See
Section 2.5
)
2.2 Safety
Precautions
:
2.2.1 Precautions and Instructions
1. If it is necessary to transport the subsystem, repackage all hard drives
separately.
2. Be sure the correct power range (100--10%) is supplied by
your rack cabinet or power outlet.
3. Thermal notice: All drive trays (even if they do not contain a hard
drive) must be installed into the enclosure. Leaving a drive bay or
module slot open will seriously affect the airflow efficiency within the
enclosure, and will consequently lead to system overheating. Keep a
faulty module in place until you have a replacement unit and you are
ready to replace it.
4. An enclosure without disk drives can weigh more than to 30 kilograms
(66 pounds). Two (2) people will be required to install or relocate the
subsystem. Drives should be removed from the enclosure before
moving the subsystem.
5. Airflow considerations: The subsystem requires an airflow clearance
especially on the front and rear. For proper ventilation, a minimum of
2.5cm (1 inch) is required between the front of the enclosure and rack
cover; a minimum of 5cm (2 inches) is required between the enclosure
and end of the rack.
