Task 2: Mounting ASUS Storage in a Rack

Cautions

•At least two persons are required to safely lift, place, and

attach the ASUS Storage unit into a rack system.

• Do not lift or move the ASUS Storage unit by the handles,

power supplies or the controller units. Hold the subsystem

itself.

•Do not install the ASUS Storage unit into a rack without rails

to support the subsystem.

•Only a qualified technician who is familiar with the installation

procedure should mount and install the ASUS Storage unit.

•Be sure all switches are OFF before installing the ASUS

Storage unit or exchanging components.

•Mount the rails to the rack using the appropriate screws and

flange nuts, fully tightened, at each end of the rail.

•Do not load the rails unless they are installed with screws as

instructed.

•The rails available for the ASUS Storage unit are designed to

safely support that ASUS Storage unit when properly

installed. Additional loading on the rails is at the customer’s

risk.

•ASUSTek COMPUTER INC. (Taiwan) cannot guarantee that

the mounting rails will support your ASUS Storage unit unless

you install them as instructed.

Note

To lighten the ASUS Storage enclosure, remove the power

supplies. Replace the power supplies after the ASUS Storage unit

is mounted in your rack.

The ASUS Storage DS300j unit installs to the rack using the available mounting

rails. You can also use your existing rails.

To install the ASUS Storage unit into a rack with the available mounting rails:

1. Check the fit of the mounting rails in your rack system.

See page 6, Figure 4.

2. Adjust the length of the mounting rails as needed.

The rear rail slides inside the front rail. The rail halves are riveted together

and use no adjustment screws.

3. Attach the mounting rail assemblies to the outside of the rack posts, using

the attaching screws and flange nuts from your rack system.

Be sure the front rail support is on the bottom facing inward.

The alignment pins fit into the rack holes above and below the attaching

screws.

Use the attaching screws and flange nuts from your rack system. Tighten the

screws and flange nuts according to your rack system instructions.

4. Place the ASUS Storage unit onto the rails.

5. Secure the ASUS Storage unit to the rack.

One screw each side, in the upper hole only. Use the attaching screws and

flange nuts from your rack system. Tighten the screws and flange nuts

according to your rack system instructions.

Task 3: Installing Disk

Drives

Task 3: Installing Disk Drives

The ASUS Storage DS300F and DS300I subsystems and DS300j expansion

units support:

• SAS and SATA hard disk drives

• 3.5-inch hard disk drives

For a list of supported physical drives, download the latest compatibility list from

the ASUS support web site http://support.asus.com/.

Drive Slot Numbering

You can install any suitable disk drive into any slot in the enclosure. The diagram

below shows how ASUS Storage’s drive slots are numbered. Whether you have

the original or plus carriers, the slots are numbered the same.

Slot numbering is reflected in the ASUS Storage Management and CLU user

interfaces. See Figure 5.

Figure 5. ASUS Storage drive slot numbering

Install all of the drive carriers into the ASUS Storage enclosure to ensure proper

airflow, even if you do not populate all the carriers with disk drives.

Installing Your Disk Drives

1. Remove a disk drive carrier.

2. Carefully lay the disk drive into the drive carrier at the front, so that the screw

holes on the sides line up.

3. Insert the screws through the holes in the drive carrier and into the sides of

the disk drive.

•Install only the counter-sink screws supplied with the ASUS Storage.

•Install four screws per drive.

•Snug each screw. Be careful not to over-tighten.

4. Reinstall the drive carrier into the ASUS Storage enclosure.

Repeat steps 1 through 3 until all of your disk drives are installed.

Caution

ASUS Storage supports disk drive hot-swapping. To avoid hand

contact with an electrical hazard, do not remove more than one

drive carrier a time.

This completes disk drive installation. Go to “Task 4: Making Data and Management

Connections” on page 9.

Task 4: Making Data and Management Connections

Configuring a Data Path

To establish the data path:

1. Make the FC or iSCSI data connections as described in the ASUS Storage

DS300F, DS300I User Manual.

2. Connect the SAS Expansion port of the DS300F or DS300I subsystem to the

SAS IN port on the I/O module of the first DS300j unit.

See page 10, Figure 7.

3. Connect the SAS OUT port on the I/O module of the first DS300j unit to the

SAS IN port on the I/O module of the second DS300j unit.

4. Connect the remaining DS300j units in the same manner.

All SAS ports have SFF-8088 connectors.

Configuring a Management Path

To establish the management path, make the FC or iSCSI management

connections as described in the ASUS Storage DS300F, DS300I User Manual.

The RAID controller in the ASUS Storage DS300F or DS300I subsystem also

monitors and manages the DS300j units. No additional connections are required

for ASUS Storage Management or the CLU.

Direct Management of ASUS Storage

A management connection directly to the ASUS Storage DS300j unit has a serial

connection to the Host PC. See “Chapter 3: Management” in the ASUS Storage

DS300j User Manual.
