About this guide
This guide describes how to install a new EMC Isilon node.
You can follow the procedure in this guide to:
lInstall several nodes to create a new cluster.
lAdd a new node to an existing cluster.
The installation procedure is the same whether you are creating a new cluster or adding a
node to an existing cluster. When you reach the step where you configure the node, you
will select whether you are creating a new cluster or adding a node to an existing cluster.
Note
If you are installing multiple nodes, repeat this procedure for each node. Power up each
node individually before installing the next node.
Drive types
This procedure applies to nodes that contain any of the following drive types: self-
encrypting drives (SEDs), hard disk drives (HDDs), and solid state drives (SSDs).
If you are performing this procedure with a node containing SSDs, follow the additional
steps provided in this document to ensure compatibility with the cluster.
If you are performing this procedure with a node containing SEDs, the node might take up
to two hours longer to join the cluster than a node with standard drives. Do not power
down the node during the join process.
Confirm SSD compatibility
If you are installing a new solid state drive (SSD) into a cluster, you must confirm that the
drive you have onsite is compatible with the cluster.
See the Isilon Supportability and Compatibility Guide to determine whether the drive you
have is compatible with the cluster.
Unpack and verify components
Before you install any equipment, inspect it to make sure that no damage occurred during
transit.
Procedure
1. Remove the node components from the shipping package and inspect the
components for any sign of damage. If the components appear damaged in any way,
notify Isilon Technical Support. Do not use a damaged component.
Note
To avoid personal injury or damage to the hardware, always use two people to lift and
move nodes.
Installation Guide
2NL400 Installation Guide
Install the node in a rack
Isilon nodes mount in standard ANSI/EIA RS310D 19-inch rack systems and use a sliding
rail system to provide easy access to the node.
The sliding rail kit is compatible with rack cabinets with the following hole types:
l3/8 inch square holes
l9/32 inch round holes
l10-32, 12-24, M5X.8, or M6X1 pre-threaded holes
Rail kit mounting brackets adjust in length from 24 inches to 36 inches to accommodate
a variety of cabinet depths. The slide rails are not left-specific or right-specific and can be
installed on either side of the rack.
Verify rail kit contents
Remove the rail hardware kit from the shipping container and verify that you have all of
the required components.
Four 8-32 × 0.75 inch knurled slide rail mounting screws.
Secures the slide rails to the rack cabinet.
Eight 8-32 × 0.25 inch shoulder alignment pins.
Use only for a pre-threaded rack cabinet.
Eight 8-32 × 0.25 inch step alignment pins.
Used only for square-hole or round-hole rack cabinet. These pins are pre-
assembled on the rails.
Two 10-32 × 1 inch truss head chassis retaining screws.
Secures the node in the rack cabinet.
Two 10-32 g-style clip-on nut retainers.
Secures the node in the rack cabinet. Used only for square-hole or round-
hole rack cabinets.
Determine correct alignment pins
Determine the type of alignment pins you need for your rack cabinet.
The rails are preconfigured for rack cabinets that have 3/8 inch square-holes or 9/32 inch
round-holes, but the rails can be modified to accommodate racks with pre-threaded
holes.

2. Shoulder Alignment Pin for Pre-
Threaded Racks
Procedure
1. Confirm the type of rack you are installing the rails in and replace the alignment pins if
necessary.
lIf you are installing the rails in a rack with 3/8 inch square-holes or 9/32 inch
round-holes, you do not need to adjust the alignment pins.
2. If you are installing the rails in a rack with pre-threaded holes, replace the pre-
assembled step alignment pins in the ends of the outer rails with the proper shoulder
alignment pins.
Mount the outer rails
Mount the outer rails in the rack cabinet.
Procedure
1. Adjust the outer rail rear slide brackets to fit the depth of the cabinet, ensuring that
the alignment pins protrude through the rack mounting rails.
2. Insert an 8-32 knurled thumb screw through each rail, and then tighten the screws to
secure the outer rails to the rack mounting rails.

Install the node in the rack
Secure the node to the storage rack.
CAUTION
To minimize the chance of personal injury or equipment damage, and to ensure proper
slide rail installation, it is recommended that two people lift and move the node.
Procedure
1. Fully extend each intermediate rail until the rail locks into place.

2. Keep the node level with the rails and align the ends of the inner rails with the ends of
the intermediate rails.
3. Insert the inner slide rails into the intermediate slide rails, then retract the slide rails
until the node is completely inserted in the rack cabinet.
4. Tighten the chassis retaining screws to secure the node in the rack.

DANGER
Do not continue with this procedure until you have confirmed the following:
1. Both rails are secured to the rack and all mounting screws are in place and
tightened.
2. The inner slide rails attached to the node are inserted correctly, and firmly secured,
in the intermediate slide rails that are attached to the rack.
If you fail to attach the node to the rails correctly it can lead to severe injury when the
node is pulled for future maintenance.
Install the drives in the node
After the node is secured in the rack, install the drives in the node.
There are 36 drive bays that you must fill with drives: twenty-four in the front of the node,
and twelve in the back of the node.
Procedure
1. With the locking handle on the drive open, insert a drive into an empty drive bay by
sliding the drive along the bay rails until it stops.
Do not force the drive into the drive bay. Forcing the drive into the drive bay could
damage both the drive and the drive bay.

2. Hold the drive in place and gently push the drive locking handle down against the end
of the drive to secure the drive in the drive bay.
3. Repeat the previous steps until the front bays of the node are full.
Note
Drives that are not fully seated will not be recognized when the node starts, and a red
light will appear below the drive. To avoid this error, run your finger across all the
installed drives to ensure that they are seated evenly.
4. On the back panel of the node, remove the rear EMI shield.
There are two vertical handles on either end of the shield. To remove the shield, press
the handles toward the center of the shield while pulling away from the node.

Install the front panel
The front panel covers the drives and provides a keypad and LCD, which displays status
information. You can use the keypad and LCD to perform basic configuration tasks.
Procedure
1. Install the front panel assembly by aligning the front panel with the front of the node
and then pressing the front panel onto the node.

CAUTION
Only trained EMC Isilon personnel should connect to the node with the PS/2, USB or VGA
ports. For direct access to the node, connect to the serial port.
LEDs
Do not rely on LEDs to determine the health of a node or node component. If any
hardware component is in an error state, identify and troubleshoot the error through
OneFS events and alerts. The behavior of the lights can change after a firmware update
and might not accurately reflect the health of a node.
Connect the internal cluster network
The InfiniBand cable connects the node to the cluster's internal network so the node can
communicate with the other nodes in the cluster.
Procedure
1. With an InfiniBand cable, connect the int-a port to the network switch for the Internal
A network.
