5.8 Adding an ESE50 SSD

When installing an ESE50 solid-state disk (SSD) in the SA900 storage array

cabinet, the CK–SA900–L2 installation kit is required. When installing an

ESE50 in an SA600 or SA800 series storage array cabinet, please refer to

Section 5.5 of this manual. Installation of an ESE50 in the SA600 or SA800

series cabinet is identical to the RA9x disk drive.

BC26V–xx, BC26G–xx, or BC26J–xx external SDI cables are required when

mounting an ESE50 in any of the above cabinets. If your conﬁguration is dual

ported, you will have to order two cables.

The following section explains how to install an add-on ESE50 in the SA900

storage array.

5.9 Preparing for Installation

The CK–SA900–L2 installation kit includes the following items:

• Screw shield (6)

• Power cord (1)

• SDI cable (2)

• Bar nut (1)

• Rail chassis assembly (1)

• Bracket rail assembly (1)

• Bar insert nut (1)

• Bracket d-lock (2)

• Bar stabilizer (1)

• Screws (9)

• OCP label (1)

Use the following procedure to prepare for installation of the ESE50 in the SA900

storage array cabinet:

1. Remove the OCP, shown in Figure 5–24, from the front of the ESE50 by

gently pulling it straight out to protect the OCP during installation. Put

the ESE50 OCP in a safe place while completing the remainder of the

installation.

2. Determine which cabinet position the ESE50 will occupy. Refer to

Figure 5–18 for the recommended RA9x add-on sequence. Each cabinet

location is assigned a number which is the sequence in which devices are

added.
