3–2 HSG80 ACS Solution Software Version 8.6 for IBM AIX Installation and Configuration Guide
CAUTION: Controller and disk enclosures have no power switches. Make sure the
controller enclosures and disk enclosures are physically configured before turning the
PDU on and connecting the power cords. Failure to do so can cause equipment
damage.
1. Be sure the enclosures are empty before mounting them into the rack. If necessary,
remove the following elements from the controller enclosure:
❏ Environmental Monitoring Unit (EMU) ❏ Power Supplies
❏ External Cache Batteries (ECBs) ❏ Fans
If necessary, remove the following elements from the disk enclosure:
❏ Power Supply/Blower Assemblies ❏ Disk Drives
❏ Environmental Monitoring Unit (EMU) ❏ I/O Modules
Refer to the Compaq StorageWorks Model 2100 and 2200 UltraSCSI Controller User
Guide, Compaq StorageWorks Enclosure 4200 Family LVD Disk Enclosure User
Guide, and Compaq StorageWorks Enclosure 4300 Family LVD Disk Enclosure User
Guide the for further information.
2. Install brackets onto the controller enclosure and disk enclosures. Using two people,
mount the enclosures into the rack. Refer to the mounting kit documentation for
further information.
3. Install the elements. Install the disk drives. Make sure you install blank panels in any
unused bays.
NOTE: Fibre channel cabling information is shown to illustrate supported configurations. In a
dual-bus disk enclosure configuration, disk enclosures 1, 2, and 3 are stacked below the
controller enclosure—two SCSI Buses per enclosure
(see Figure 3–1). In a single-bus disk
enclosure configuration, disk enclosures 6, 5, and 4 are stacked above the controller enclosure
and disk enclosures 1, 2, and 3 are stacked below the controller enclosure—one SCSI Bus per
enclosure(see Figure 3–2).
4. Connect the six VHDCI UltraSCSI bus cables between the controller and disk
enclosures as shown in Figure 3–1 for a dual bus system and Figure 3–2 for a single
bus system. Note that the supported cable lengths are 1, 2, 3, 5, and 10 meters.
