4. Assemble the tools and equipment that you will need for installation. These
might include:
v The power cords that are shipped with the EXP100
v Number 2 Phillips and medium flat-blade screwdrivers
v
Antistatic protection (such as a grounding wrist strap)
v Fibre Channel (FC) and Ethernet interface cables and cable straps
v
SFP modules
v The rack-mounting hardware that ships with the EXP100
v
IBM DS4000 Storage Manager 9.1 software and DS4000 controller firmware
that ships with the EXP100. You use this software to configure the storage
subsystems.
Note: Different models may have different firmware versions, see Table 3 on
page 5.
5. Continue with “Preparing the site.”
Preparing the site
This section lists the floor space requirements and weight information for the
EXP100. For information on interface cables and connections, see “Cabling the
EXP100” on page 46.
Floor space: The floor area at the installation site must provide the following
conditions:
v Enough stability to support the weight of the fully configured EXP100 and
associated systems
v Sufficient space to install the EXP100
Weight: The EXP100 total weight depends on the number of 1.5 Gbps SATA hard
disk drives that are installed. A fully configured EXP100 with two fans, two power
supplies, two ESMs, and up to 14 SATA hard disk drives installed weighs 40.2 kg
(88.4 lbs).
Continue with “Preparing the rack.”
Preparing the rack
Important: Before you install the EXP100 in a rack, keep in mind the following
considerations:
v Review the documentation that comes with your rack enclosure for safety and
cabling considerations.
v
Install the EXP100 in a maximum 35° C (95° F) environment.
v To ensure proper airflow, do not block the air vents; 15 cm (6 in.) of air space is
sufficient.
v
To ensure rack stability, load the rack starting at the bottom.
v If you install multiple components in the rack, do not overload the power outlets.
v Always connect the expansion enclosure to a properly grounded outlet.
Complete the following steps to prepare the rack before you install the EXP100:
1. Move, unpack, and level the rack at the installation site (if needed).
2. Remove the external rack panels.
3. If necessary, stop all I/O activity to the devices in the rack.
