1 About your HP StoreOnce
Backup system
HP StoreOnce 4900 Backup is a disk-based storage appliance for
backing up host network servers or PCs to target devices on the
appliance. These devices are configured as NAS Share, Virtual Tape
Library or StoreOnce Catalyst Store targets for backup applications.
The base system consists of a head server unit, a disk enclosure and
a 1U supporting shelf to install below the system. It is compatible with
all HP standard racks and is scalable from 15 to 140 disks.
To find out which backup applications are compatible with HP
StoreOnce functions go to www.hp.com/go/ebs.
TIP: To find out more about configuring and using backup
target devices, see the HP StoreOnce Backup User Guide that
can be accessed from the CD supplied with your product.
HP StoreOnce 4900 Capacity Expansion
One disk enclosure must be installed at the same time as the head
server unit; it contains 44 TB of pre-configured storage and four hot
spare disks.
There are two options for further expanding storage:
• BB908A : HP StoreOnce 4900 44TB Capacity Expansion
These are packs of eleven 4 TB disks, that may be added to the
original disk enclosure until all disk bays are full. A maximum of
five of these kits may be used with each enclosure.
• BB904A : HP StoreOnce 4900 60TB Capacity Expansion
Once the original disk enclosure is full, one further disk enclosure
may be purchased and connected to the system. This disk
enclosure contains eleven 4 TB disks and four hot spare disks.
Storage in this shelf may also be expanded using up to five of the
BB908A expansion kits.
2 Retrieve your license entitlement
certificates (if purchased)
Licensing is used to enable optional product functionality, such as extra
disk capacity, Replication, Catalyst or Security features.
For extra disk capacity the appropriate License Entitlement Certificate
is supplied with the Capacity Expansion kit. This is a paper document
that contains all the information you need to obtain your unique
License To Use key. The Entitlement Certificates are shipped in clearly
marked card envelopes with your HP StoreOnce Backup system. These
are valuable items so, to prevent them becoming lost, please ensure
they are identified and put safely to one side during unpacking.
Entitlement certificates for iLO4 Advance Packs are also supplied with
the HP StoreOnce Backup system.
It is strongly recommended that all licenses are redeemed as soon as
possible. Go to the Webware site - webware.hp.com. For information
about activating licenses refer to the HP StoreOnce Installation and
Configuration Guide on the StoreOnce CD.
NOTE: There is also an Instant on license (time limited to
90 days): This allows you to try out licensable functionality
(excluding extra capacity) before paying for a full license.
NOTE: Licenses are locked to a specific appliance using
the serial number that can be found on the StoreOnce
management GUI, or printed on a label on the appliance.
3 Install the rack rails, unit(s) and
1U support shelf
The recommendation is to install the disk enclosure below the head
server unit, and the heaviest items should be at the bottom of the
rack. Make sure there is 30 cm clearance to the right of the rack in
order to allow full access to hard drive bays in drawer 2.
Refer to your rack documentation and to the documents on the
HP StoreOnce Backup CD for detailed instructions, including safety
information, about installing units within the rack.
CAUTION: Use extreme caution when installing and pulling units
from the rack; they can slip and fall, causing damage to the
HP StoreOnce Backup system or injury. HP is not responsible for
any damage or injury caused by the mishandling of the
HP StoreOnce Backup system.
WARNING: The disk enclosure with no drives installed weighs
72.58 kg (160.00 lb). With all drives and components installed,
the enclosure can weigh up to 145.15 kg (320 lb). To reduce
the risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment:
• Observelocaloccupationalhealthandsafetyrequirements
and guidelines for manual material handling.
• Usecautionandgethelptoliftandstabilizediskenclosures
during installation or removal, especially when the disk
enclosure is not fastened to the rack.
WARNING: Always use at least two people to lift an enclosure
into the rack. If the enclosure is being loaded into the rack
above chest level, a third person must assist with aligning the
enclosure with the rails while the other two people support the
weight of the enclosure.
1. Install the rails, locking nuts and securing brackets as illustrated on
the in-box flyer.
2. Install the IU support shelf immediately below the location of the
disk enclosure.
3. Do not remove the base storage disks because this storage has
been pre-configured and expects:
Drawer one (left): Two spare hot disks in bays 34 and 35 and
eleven disks in bays 23-33
Drawer two (right): Two spare hot disks in bays 34 and 35
4. Install the disk enclosure, making sure to tighten the thumbscrews
to secure the unit to the rack.
5. Install the base server unit.
Installing additional disks in the disk enclosure
Once the disk enclosure is installed, install all additional capacity
expansion kits purchased with the product. Unlike the pre-configured
storage, this storage must be licensed, discovered and added to the
configuration before it is available for use. Refer to the printed guide
supplied with the capacity expansion kits for detailed installation
instructions.
It is very important to distribute hard disks in the correct disk bays
within each drawer, as shown on the disk enclosure labels, see
below, and to fill all bays in the first enclosure before installing a
second one.

When adding hard drives to the hard drive drawer, observe the
following general guidelines:
• Verify that the drives are fully seated before closing the drawer.
• The drawer should be closed with the handle in the released
position; it will click when closed securely.
• Hard drives are sensitive to excess vibration. Use care when
opening and closing the drawer.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage
to the equipment, ensure that only one hard drive drawer is
extended at a time.
