Installation overview

Table 1summarizes the steps required to correctly install, cable, and power on your IBM®TotalStorage®

DS4500 Storage Subsystem. Unless otherwise stated, all the following tasks are detailed in the sections

referenced in the IBM TotalStorage DS4500 Installation, User’s, and Maintenance Guide.Review the

multilingual IBM Safety Information document and read all safety information in the DS4500 Installation,

User’s, and Maintenance Guide before you begin the installation.

Attention: Before powering on the DS4500 Storage Subsystem, each attached storage expansion

enclosure must be populated with at least two drives. If at least two drives are not installed in each

attached storage expansion enclosure, when you power on the DS4500 and its attached storage expansion

enclosure(s), your standard storage partition key might be lost and must be regenerated using

instructions on the IBM DS4000™Solutions and Premium Features Web site:

https://www-912.ibm.com/PremiumFeatures/

In addition, the resulting insufficient load to the enclosure power supplies might cause them to

intermittently appear as failed, falsely indicating the power supplies are bad. All drives in the connected

storage expansion enclosure(s) must contain no prior configuration data.

Installing an SFP module and fibre channel cable

Statement 3:

DANGER: Some laser products contain an embedded Class 3A or Class 3B laser diode. Note the

following: Laser radiation when open. Do not stare into the beam, do not view directly with optical

instruments, and avoid direct exposure to the beam.

All host and drive cabling connections require you to use Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP) modules in

the DS4500 host and drive channels used by the cabling connections. The SFP module housing and fibre

channel cable have integrated guide keys that prevent you from inserting these devices incorrectly. You

must insert SFP modules into ports with minimal pressure so that you do not damage either the SFP

module or the port. You can insert an SFP module into an active port without affecting the operational

loop performance. You must connect the fibre channel cable to the SFP module after you insert the SFP

module into the port.

Attention: Remove SFP modules from any unused mini hub ports (both host-side and drive-side) on the

DS4500 Storage Subsystem.

To avoid damage to your fibre-optic cables:

vDo not route the cable along afolding cable-management arm.

vRoute the cable away from places where it can be damaged by other devices in the rack cabinet.

vFor devices on slide rails, leave enough slack in the cable so that it does not bend to adiameter of less

than 76 mm (3 in.) or aradius less than 38 mm (1.5 in.) when extended or become pinched when

retracted.

vDo not use plastic cable ties in place of the provided cable straps.

vDo not put excess weight on the cable at the connection point. Be sure that the cable is well supported.

1. Remove the protective caps from the SFP module and from the fibre channel cable. Do not touch the

exposed fibre-optic cable.

2. Insert the SFP module into an SFP module port on an IBM DS4500 mini hub.

3. Connect the fibre channel cable to the SFP module.

Figure 1. SFP modules and fibre channel cables

To remove an SFP module and fibre channel cable:

1. Remove the fibre-optic cable from the SFP module; then, replace the protective caps on the cable

connector.

Attention: Do not grasp the plastic tab that is part of the SFP module while disconnecting the

fibre-optic cable. Pulling the SFP module plastic tab while disconnecting the fibre-optic cable might

damage the SFP module.

2. For SFPs with plastic tabs, pull the SFP module plastic tab outward at a10° angle while you remove

the SFP module. The plastic tab releases the SFP module latch.

3. For SFPs with wire tabs, pull the SFP module wire tab outward at a90° angle and remove the SFP

module. The wire tab releases the SFP module latch.

4. Replace the protective cap on the SFP module.

Direct-attached host-side fibre channel cabling

Attention: Install the DS4500 Storage Subsystem and all storage expansion enclosures in the rack cabinet

before cabling the configuration.

For additional information about host-side cabling, refer to the IBM TotalStorage DS4500 Fibre Channel

Storage Subsystem Installation, User's, and Maintenance Guide.

Drive-side fibre-channel cabling

The DS4500 Storage Subsystem supports up to two redundant drive loops. Aredundant drive loop

consists of one or more storage expansion enclosures connected to acontroller using two sets of fibre

channel cables. If one data path fails, the controller uses the other data path to maintain the connection to

the drive group.

Figure 3. DS4500 Storage Subsystem host adapter connections (direct-attached)

Drive interface ports

DS4500 Storage Subsystems use only redundant drive-loop configurations. Each drive mini hub connects

to Controller Aand Controller Band represents asingle drive loop. The drive loops must be set up in

pairs to support redundant drive loop configurations (two data paths per storage expansion enclosure).

See Figure 4for an illustration of the drive-side mini-hub interface ports.

The maximum number of storage expansion enclosures that can be connected per pair of redundant drive

loops depends on the IBM DS4000 storage expansion enclosure models used. The following DS4000

storage expansion enclosure types are supported by the DS4500 Storage Subsystem:

vFAStT EXP500

vDS4000 EXP700

vDS4000 EXP710

vDS4000 EXP100

vDS4000 EXP810

If the drives are configured using only DS4000 EXP700, EXP710, EXP810, or EXP100 storage expansion

enclosures, the DS4500 Storage Subsystem supports amaximum of 224 hard drives.

If the drives are configured using only FAStT EXP500 storage expansion enclosures, the DS4500 Storage

Subsystem supports amaximum of 220 hard drives.

Important:Ensure that the single digit (x1) of the enclosure ID for every enclosure in aredundant drive

loop pair is unique. Refer to the IBM TotalStorage DS4500 Installation, User's, and Maintenance Guide for

more information on the storage expansion enclosure IDs settings.

To cable two DS4000 10- or 14- drive storage expansion enclosures (EXP500, EXP700, EXP710, or EXP100)

to the DS4500, see “Connecting to EXP500/EXP100/EXP700/EXP710 storage expansion enclosures” on

page 7. To cable two DS4000 16-drive storage expansion enclosures (EXP810) to the DS4500, see

“Connecting to EXP810 storage expansion enclosures” on page 8.
