3. Identify your configuration

The base unit can be used in a direct-connect point-to-point or switch

configuration.

Figure 1-1: Example of a Direct-Connect Configuration

Figure 1-2: Example of a Switch Configuration

Installing the storage systems

The following sections describe how to install your storage system. AMS

2100 and 2300 storage systems are delivered in a pretested configuration,

with the trays positioned in a certain location. When the site team installs

the storage system, the team should arrange the trays as they were tested

(a piece of paper supplied with the storage systems shows the tested tray

locations). If the trays are not installed in the proper location, they generate

HDD identification error messages I6G100 at power up. However, if the site

team performs an installation from scratch using maintenance mode (soft

reset) from the Web, it does not matter how the trays are arranged.

Modular deployments require configuration attention to ensure that the

storage infrastructure and ecosystem components interoperate correctly

with Hitachi AMS storage systems and software. There are many component

variations, and the Hitachi compatibility and interoperability matrix can be

used as a reference when constructing configurations that are supported

end to end by Hitachi AMS storage systems. To view the matrix, please

4. Install the base and expansion units

1. Select an appropriate location. Refer to the AMS 2100/2300 Storage

System Hardware Guide (MK-97DF8010).

2. Base and expansion units ordered with the Hitachi Global 19-inch rack

are delivered preinstalled in the rack. If you use a different rack, refer

to and follow all safety precautions in the documentation for the rack.

5. Install drives

Drives are preinstalled. To install additional drives:

1. Wear an anti-static wrist strap connected to the chassis of the base or

expansion unit.

2. Place a finger under the blue lever at the top of the drive tray. Then

gently pull the lever forward.

3. Holding the lever, gently pull the drive tray toward you until the tray is

about half way out of the slot.

4. Hold the top and bottom of the drive tray and remove it from the unit.

5. If the slot where the drive is to be installed has a filler, remove the filler.

6. Orient the new drive so the gold edge connectors on the rear of the drive

are at the rear of the drive tray and the label on the drive faces the right.

7. Insert the drive into the rear of the drive tray and slide the drive forward

until the 3 rectangular hooks on the drive (2 on top and 1 on the bottom)

enter the rectangular holes on the top and bottom of the drive tray.

8. Place the drive on the slot’s guide rail, then gently slide the drive into

the slot (shown by the arrow in Figure 1-3 on page 9). Stop pushing

when the blue lever at the top of the drive tray starts to rise.

9. Secure the drive tray in the unit by pushing the blue lever to the top until

the lever snaps into place.

10.To install additional drives, repeat steps 3 through 9.

CAUTION! Observe all safety guidelines in the following documents:

•AMS 2100/2300 Site Preparation Guide (MK-98DF8149)

•AMS 2100/2300 Storage System Hardware Guide (MK-97DF8010)

• The documentation for your rack

To avoid damage to the storage system or storage system components due

to electrostatic discharge (ESD), wear an anti-static wrist strap when

handling the storage system. Connect the clip to an unpainted part of the

storage system chassis frame to safely channel any static electricity

generated by your body to ground. If no wrist strap is available, ground

yourself by touching an unpainted part of the storage system chassis frame.

NOTE: Drive slots that do not have a drive must have a filler. If a slot does

not have a filler installed, insert a filler into the slot. Insert the filler slowly,

so the latch (round dent) on the filler moves to the right.
