Chapter 1: Introduction
Figure 1-10: BBU Module
In accordance with international transportation regulations, the BBU is only
charged to between 35% and 45% of its total capacity when shipped.
Therefore, after powering on the subsystem (see Section 4.4) the BBU must
be charged to its full capacity. It normally requires approximately twelve
(12) hours for the battery to be fully charged. If the battery is not fully
charged after twelve (12) hours, there is a problem with the BBU and you
should contact your subsystem vendor immediately. While the battery is
being charged, the LED on the BBU rear panel and the fifth LED on the rear
panel of the controller module will flash slowly. (See Chapter 3.2.6 for
details on the LED indicators.) You can check the status of the battery’s
charge via RAIDWatch or the firmware.
1.2.8 Power Supply Units
PN: IFT-9273CPSU
The FALCON II is equipped with two (2) redundant, hot-swappable,
460W PSUs, which are located at the rear of the enclosure. (See Figure 1-5)
The PSU is permanently mounted into a 2U (dual-level) bracket especially
designed to house both the PSU and a cooling module, which is mounted in
the lower part of the 2U bracket. Hot-swapping the PSU requires the
removal of the cooling module.
As shown in Figure 1-11, each PSU comes with a single power socket for
power cord plug-in, and a power switch on the right to turn the subsystem
on and off. Two (2) embedded cooling fans provide sufficient airflow to
keep the PSU cool. A single LED indicates the PSU status. When any power
supply failure occurs, such as over-voltage or fan failure, the LED shines
red. A handle at the back of the PSU has been especially designed to enable
you to remove the PSU from the subsystem while the subsystem is online.
This should only be done if the PSU has failed and needs to be replaced.
A retention screw at the top of the PSU module secures the PSU to the
enclosure. To remove the PSU, the retention screw must be removed first.
When installing a new PSU module, make sure that the retention screw has
been firmly secured.
