Disconnect the power cord’s male plug from the power source. 4. Disconnect the power cord’s female plug from the power cord connector on the PSU.
(search the site for “multipath I/O overview”) Cabling considerations Common cabling configurations address hosts, controller enclosures, drive enclosures, and switches. Host interface ports on S3200/S2200 controller enclosures can connect to respective hosts via direct cable connection or switch attach. Connecting the enclosure to hosts A host identifies an external port to which the storage system is attached.
S3200/S2200 FC controller enclosures support one or two controller modules using the Fibre Channel interface protocol for host connection. The S3200 FC controller module provides four host ports, and the S2200 FC controller module provides two host ports. The CNC ports are designed for use with an FC SFP supporting data rates up to 16 Gbit/s.
A 0.5 m (1.64') cable length is also supported for OM3. 1 Gb iSCSI host connection To connect S3200/S2200 1 Gb iSCSI controller modules supporting 1Gb iSCSI host interface ports to a server HBA or switch—using the controller’s CNC ports—select a qualified 1 Gb RJ-45 copper SFP option supporting (CAT5-E minimum) Ethernet cables of the same lengths specified for 10GbE iSCSI above.
HD mini-SAS host connection To connect S3200/S2200 SAS controller modules supporting SAS host interface ports to a server HBA or switch —using the controller’s SFF-8644 dual HD mini-SAS host ports—select a qualified HD mini-SAS cable option. S3200 host ports support standard cables. For S2200 host ports, management interfaces distinguish between standard (dual cable with single connector at each end), and fan-out SAS cables.
The remaining illustrations in the section feature enclosures equipped with dual IOMs. IMPORTANT: If the S3200/S2200 controller enclosure is configured with a single controller module, the controller module must be installed in the upper slot, and an I/O module blank must be installed in the lower slot (shown above).

Using switches, a SAN shares a storage system among multiple servers, reducing the number of storage systems required for a particular environment. Using switches increases the number of servers that can be connected to the storage system. A S3200/S2200 controller enclosure supports 64 hosts. Dual-controller configuration...
IP address scheme for the controller pair — two iSCSI ports per controller The S3200 can use port 2 of each controller as one failover pair, and port 3 of each controller as a second failover pair for iSCSI traffic. Port 2 of each controller must be in the same subnet, and port 3 of each controller must be in second subnet.
Optionally, you can update firmware using FTP (File Transfer Protocol) as described in the Storage Manager Guide. IMPORTANT: See the “Updating firmware” topic in the Storage Manager Guide before performing a firmware update. Partner Firmware Update (PFU) is enabled by default on S3200/S2200 systems. Connecting hosts...
You can configure addressing parameters for each controller module’s network port. You can set static IP values or use DHCP. DHCP is enabled by default on S3200/S2200 systems. TIP: See the “Configuring network ports” topic in the Storage Manager Guide.

Sensor locations The storage system monitors conditions at different points within each enclosure to alert you to problems. Power, cooling fan, temperature, and voltage sensors are located at key points in the enclosure. In each controller module and expansion module, the enclosure management processor (EMP) monitors the status of these sensors to perform SCSI enclosure services (SES) functions.
Enclosure bezels Each S3200/S2200 enclosure is equipped with a removable bezel designed to cover the front panel during enclosure operation.

• Refer to the rackmount bracket kit installation sheet pertaining to your product for guidelines about installing enclosures into the rack. • The weight of an enclosure depends on the number and type of modules installed. Lenovo Storage S3200/S2200 Setup Guide...
• Ideally, use two people to lift an enclosure. However, one person can safely lift an enclosure if its weight is reduced by removing the power supply modules and disk drive modules. • Do not place enclosures in a vertical position. Always install and operate the enclosures in a horizontal (level) orientation.
Weights may vary due to actual number and type of disk drives (SAS or SSD) and air management modules installed.

S3200/S2200 controllers feature a USB CLI port used to cable directly to the controller and initially set IP addresses, or perform other configuration tasks. The USB CLI port employs a mini-USB Type B form factor, and requires a specific cable and additional support, so that a server or other computer running a Linux or Windows operating system can recognize the controller enclosure as a connected device.
Microsoft Windows operating systems provide a USB serial port driver. However, the USB driver requires details for connecting to S3200/S2200 controller enclosures. Lenovo provides a device driver for use in the Windows environment. The USB device driver and installation instructions are available via a download.
