Getting Started Chapter 2 Getting Started 2.1 Introduction In this chapter, you are shown how to install your SS-1200-FCAL Enclosure and plug-in modules into an industry standard 19 inch rack cabinet. Caution When connecting up the SS-1200-FCAL subsystem, use only approved power cords. 2.2 Planning Your Installation Before you begin installation you should become familiar with the configuration requirements of your SS-1200FCAL system, detailed in Table 2–1.
SS-1200-FCAL User Guide Table 2–1 SS-1200-FCAL Configuration Module Location I/O Modules The Primary Module must be fitted in Bay 3/1. A second module (providing a second loop path to all drives) may be fitted in Bay 3/3. ESI/Ops Panel (variants available for front or rear facing) • Front Facing - Install this in place of a drive in Front Bay 1/1.
Getting Started 2.2.1 Enclosure Bay Numbering Convention The enclosure bay numbering convention is shown in Figure 2–1. A Bay is defined as the space required to house a single 1.6" high 3.5 inch disk drive in its carrier module. e.g. a 1 x 3 bay module would take the space of 1 drive width by 3 drive bays high (in the rack mount configuration). The SS-1200-FCAL subsystem is housed in a 4 x 3 enclosure, i.e. 4 bays wide by 3 bays high.

Operation Chapter 3 Operation 3.1 Before You Begin Before powering up the enclosure please ensure that all the modules are firmly seated in their correct bays and that Blank plates are fitted in any remaining bays. 3.2 Power On Do not operate the subsystem until the ambient temperature is within the specified operating range. If the drives have been recently installed ensure they have had time to acclimatize before operating them. Warning Note 3.2.
SS-1200-FCAL User Guide Notes Important 1 All LEDs on the Ops panel should be lit Green at power up to indicate that the system is functioning correctly. (The UPS LED will be lit Green with or without UPS fitted.) 2 If any alarms sound shortly after power on then a problem exists and the procedure in , ”Troubleshooting and Problem Solving” should be followed.
Operation Under Normal conditions the following LEDs should all be illuminated constant GREEN LED Indicators Symbol System Status Drive Status Power & Cooling Status UPS Status Power Standby Status Switches • Push-button Audible Alarm Mute • Push-button Standby/Operational switch • Rotary Keylock - Run/Service activate If a problem is detected the ESI processor will change the color of the relevant LED to AMBER. For non critical conditions the LEDs flash GREEN.
SS-1200-FCAL User Guide • The 'Manual start' option jumper has been fitted to the ESI/Ops panel module during installation, thus disabling the drive auto start function. If manual start has been selected, then Drive Start commands must be issued to each drive in order to start their motors • There is a power problem (an alarm and power fault indication would normally be active). 3.4.1 Disk Drives LEDs Each drive carrier incorporates two indicators, an upper (GREEN) and lower (AMBER).
Troubleshooting Chapter 4 Troubleshooting and Problem Solving 4.1 Overview The SS-1200-FCAL Enclosure includes a processor and associated monitoring and control logic to enable it to diagnose problems within the enclosure’s power, cooling and drive systems. The Enclosure Services Processor is housed along with the Operator Panel either in the front or rear of the enclosure. The sensors for power, cooling and thermal conditions are housed within the Power Supply/Cooling modules.

Troubleshooting 4.5.4 Thermal Alarm Symptom 1 Operator Panel Power Supply/Cooling LED AMBER (~ and Fan Symbol). Cause If the internal temperature measured in the airflow through the enclosure exceeds a pre-set threshold a thermal alarm will sound. Action 1 Check local ambient environment temperature is below the upper 40°C specification. 2 An AMBER LED on one or more Power Supply/Cooling Modules. 2 Check the installation for any airflow restrictions at either the front or rear of the enclosure.
SS-1200-FCAL User Guide 4.6 FC-AL Drive Carrier Module Faults Disk drive status is monitored by a Green LED and an Amber LED mounted on the front of each Drive Carrier Module, providing the following indications: LED Condition GREEN OFF Status Action • No drive fitted OR • Spinup (wait 30 seconds) ON/Flickering Power on/operating AMBER and GREEN Flashing Test Mode active Press Alarm Mute button to reset test mode.

Troubleshooting 4.9.1 Power Supply/Cooling Module 4.9.1.1 Removing the Module Warning Do not remove the faulty Power Supply/Cooling module unless you have a replacement unit of the correct type ready for insertion. If a power supply unit or its fan is faulty, you must replace the whole power supply/cooling module. If you have two or three power supply units installed, you can continue working while replacing the faulty module.
SS-1200-FCAL User Guide Figure 4–3 4.9.2 ESI/Ops Panel Module 4.9.2.1 Removing the Module Important This module is designed for Hot Plug replacement. In order to ensure that there is no loss of system availability during replacement, the enclosure DEFAULT state with the ESI module removed is Power On. 1 Release the catch on the side of the ESI/Ops Panel module. 2 Grip the front panel surround or the key (turned to the Service position0 firmly and slide the unit out of the enclosure bay.
Troubleshooting 4.9.2.2 Inserting the Module Install the module by sliding into the correct bay (1/1 at front or 3/1 at rear) ensuring the module has docked with the connector and the retention clip has engaged with the chassis. (Figure 4–5) Caution TheESI/Ops panel module variants are not interchangeable, a front mountied module cannote be installed in the rear mounting position and vice versa.
