17. Assemble Enclosures Into a Block
17. Assemble Enclosures Into a Block
Skip this step if you are creating a block that contains only one enclosure:
In this step, you attach power-on cables and ServerNet cables to all enclosures. You
do not attach any cables between the block and the target system yet.
17.1 Cable Enclosures Together
1. Temporarily set the enclosure numbers in each enclosure of the block according to
these rules:
To set the enclosure numbers, complete Step 8. Change Group Number of
Enclosure to 01 on page 6-16.
2. Connect power-on cables between the enclosures of the block. Power-on cables
should be attached so that each PMF CRU and IOMF CRU can send the power-on
signal to the next. For cabling patterns, see the NonStop S-Series Hardware
Installation and FastPath Guide.
3. Connect ServerNet cables for a multiple-enclosure block according to Figure 6-3
.
13. Update SP Firmware in Enclosure If Necessary 6-21
14. Configure Topology of Enclosure If Necessary 6-22
15. Power Off Enclosure 6-23
If You Are Creating … Then …
A block consisting of only one enclosure Skip this step and go to Step 18. Change
Group Numbers of Block to Fit Target
System on page 6-27.
A block consisting of more than one enclosure Perform this step.
Block Component Group Number
Processor enclosure Group 01
I/O enclosures Groups 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, and so on, in
sequential and ascending order, up to the
maximum supported by the target system
