Figure 2. Chassis label (FCC compliance) Before lifting the enclosure, complete the following tasks: v Unplug all cords and cables from the enclosure. v Remove all DDIC modules from both drawers and make sure that the drawers are closed firmly and locked shut.
Figure 3. Module bay caution label Replace any defective modules with fully operational units as soon as possible. Do not remove cooling modules, PSUs, or compute modules unless you have a replacement model of the correct type ready for insertion. CAUTION: To prevent overturning, drawer interlocks stop users from opening both drawers at the same time.
Figure 5. PSU warning label Before removing a module, disconnect all power cords and cables. Do not use open drawers to support any other equipment. Figure 6. Drawer caution label Electrical safety Operate the enclosure from a power supply input voltage range of 200 to 240 VAC, 50 - 60 Hz only. A suitable power source with electrical overload protection must be provided to meet the requirements in the technical specification.
DANGER Do not remove covers from the enclosure or any of the modules. There is a danger of electric shock inside. Do not attempt to disassemble the rear subchassis from the enclosure. Return any damaged components to your supplier for repair. DANGER: Hazardous voltage, current, or energy levels are present inside any component that has this label attached.
The electrical distribution system must provide a reliable ground for each enclosure, and for the rack. Each PSU in each enclosure has a ground leakage current of 1.6 mA. The design of the electrical distribution system must consider the total ground leakage current from all the PSUs in all the enclosures.
v One compute module. Must be inserted in slot B (RHS). v One compute module blank. v Up to 84 Disk Drive In Carrier (DDIC) modules with SATA drives installed. v A rail kit for rack mounting. Important: To ensure correct airflow and cooling, all PSU bays and cooling module bays must contain a functioning unit.
Page 27
The chassis has a 19-inch rack mounting that enables it to be installed on to standard 19-inch racks and uses 5 EIA units of rack space (8.75 inches (222 mm)). Each drawer contains 42 bays for Disk Drives in Carriers (DDICs). DDICs are top-mounted into the drawers.
Page 28
Figure 10. Drawer LEDs (left side only) Important: During normal operation, drawers must be kept shut to ensure correct airflow and cooling. Disk drives in carriers (DDICs) Each drive is housed in a carrier that enables secure insertion of the drive into the drawer and contains a SAS carrier transition card (used with direct dock SATA).

The following hard disk drives are supported: v 3.5” 7200 rpm SATA drive The drive carrier has a single amber LED that is lit when the drive has a fault. Chapter 2. System overview...
Operator’s panel Figure 12. Enclosure operator’s panel The left front of the enclosure features an operator’s (ops) panel (shown in previous figure). The panel contains the following indicators: Unit Identification Display A numerical display whose primary function is to display the enclosure unit identification number.
The following figure shows the PSU. Figure 13. 2200 W PSU Dual PSUs provide redundant power for the system. If one PSU fails, the other keeps the system running while you replace the faulty module. The PSUs are hot-swappable. Replacement of a PSU can be performed while the enclosure is running, but the procedure must be completed within 2 minutes of the removal of the defective PSU.
The following figure shows the PSU. Figure 15. 2800 W PSU Dual PSUs provide redundant power for the system. If one PSU fails, the other keeps the system running while you replace the faulty module. The PSUs are hot-swappable. Replacement of a PSU can be performed while the enclosure is running, but the procedure must be completed within 2 minutes of the removal of the defective PSU.
Page 33
The speed of the fans in the cooling modules is controlled by the SSB compute modules. For more information about the system airflow, see “System airflow.” Cooling modules can be hot-swapped while the enclosure is still running, assuming that only one module is removed at a time and the swap takes no longer than 2 minutes.

Figure 20. AP-LS-1 module Configured for direct dock SATA, the system operates with one module. The other compute module bay must be filled with a blank module. The presence of compute modules is checked when the power is turned on. The enclosure does not turn on if the compute module is not present. An alarm occurs when incompatible configurations are detected.
Figure 21. Unpacking the system Installation First, install the rail kit, then install the modules. Installing the rail kit CAUTION: An unpopulated enclosure can weigh up to 46 kg (101 lb). Do not try to lift it by yourself. Due to the weight of the enclosure, install it without the drive carriers. The adjustment range of the rail kit, from the inside of the front post to the inside of the rear post is 660 mm - 840 mm.
holes in the rack posts, as shown in the following figure. Figure 22. Mounting the system into a rack (left rail only) 4. Fully tighten all clamping screws and middle slide locking screws. 5. Ensure the rear spacer clips (x4) are fitted tight to the edge of the rack post. 6.
Figure 23. Rear enclosure mounting 3. The sliding nut head must always face away from the enclosure, whichever configuration is used. CAUTION: Use only the power cords that are supplied or cords that match the specification in Appendix B, "AC power cords".
For more information, see "Electrical safety". Data security Precautions can help preserve data security. v Power down your host computer and all attached peripheral devices before beginning installation. v Each enclosure contains up to 84 removable disk drive modules. Disk drives are fragile. Handle them with care, and keep them away from strong magnetic fields.
