SnapScale™

X2 Node

Step 1

It is essential that you activate your warranty for each SnapScale node. Technical and

warranty support are not available for the nodes until the warranty is active:

1. Go to http://www.overlandstorage.com/ and select

Service & Support > Sign-in To My Account.

2. At the Site Login, enter your e-mail address and

password, and click

3. Click

4. Fill in the information and click

Submit

As a registered user, your basic data is entered automatically. Only the serial

number must be entered. This speeds up registering multiple nodes.

Your warranty certificate will be emailed to you. Follow the instructions included in

the email to complete the registration process.

Step 2

WARNING: This device has more than one power cord. Disconnect ALL power supply

cords before servicing.

Any optional internal components, need to be installed before continuing. Refer to the

installation instructions and warnings that are packaged with the components.

Step 3

The SnapScale comes with a sliding rail rack kit for easy installation into a 19-inch

(EIA-310) rack. There is a left (L) and right (R) rail. They are installed with the end

flanges pointing outward and the rail hooks opening downward.

IMPORTANT: Two-post telco-style or other racks less than 29 inches in depth will NOT

support this unit.

Attach the Inner Rail

1. Take the left (L) rail assembly and slide the inner rail out until it stops.

2. Press the release latch and remove the inner rail.

3. Place an inner rail against the node’s left side (when facing the node), aligning

the screw holes with the latch release nearer the rear.

Enter

4. Secure the rail using the three M3x4mm screws in the countersunk holes.

5. Repeat Steps 1–4 for the right (R) rail assembly.

Size the Outer Rails to Rack

1. Determine the 2U area where the SnapScale

is to be mounted, and mark the third and

fifth holes on both sides, front and back.

2. Note the distance between the inside edges

of the rack’s front and rear rails.

3. If installing the rails in a round-holed

rack, attach the adapters to both ends of the

left rail assembly:

NOTE: There are two sets of adapters. Each set consists of two mirror-imaged versions.

They are installed with the square holes on the bottom and the open sides facing inward.

a. With the rail hooks facing down, insert them through the top and bottom

square holes of the adapter.

b. Push the adapter up until it is fully engaged.

c. With the flat-head screw inserted through the countersunk hole side of the

cup washer, insert them in the hole between the hooks and tighten.

Be sure the cup washer goes into the square hole and is flush with the adapter.

4. Loosen the four nuts and screws holding the rear slide component.

5. Verify that the length of the slide rail is slightly less than the internal distance

measured between the rack’s vertical rails.

If necessary, remove the four nuts and screws holding the rear component, slide

it out the needed distance, and loosely reinstall them.

NOTE: For some racks, only two screws can be used with the rear component due to the

location of the slots. This does not impact the stability of the rails.

6. Repeat Steps 3–5 for the right rail assembly.

Attach Outer Rails

Depending on the type of rack, different methods of installation are used.

NOTE: The top hole of the rail is used by the node captive screw to secure the node.

Square-holed Racks

1. Position the left (L) slide rail between the

left-side vertical rack rails with the flanges

inside the rack and pointing outward.

2. Insert the front flange hooks into the two

marked holes and press down.

3. Extend the rear component and hook the

rear flange into the rack.

4. Repeat Steps 1–3 for the right (R) slide rail.

5. Secure the left slide rail to the rack:

a. Insert a flat-head screw through the

countersunk hole side of a cup washer.

b. At the front of the left rail, insert them into the

hole between the hooks and tighten.

Be sure the cup washer goes into the square hole

and is flush with the rack.

c. Repeat Steps a–b for the front right rail.

6. Repeat Step 5 for the rear of both rails.

7. On both rails, tighten the nuts and screws to secure the rear components.

This completes the installation of the rails. Continue now with “Install the Node.”

Threaded Round-holed Racks

Two sets of adapters are provided for threaded round-holed racks.

1. At the front, screw two pan-head screws into the left marked rack holes until

their tips are flush with the inside edge of the rack rail.

2. Repeat Step 1 for the left rear.

3. Position the left (L) slide rail between the

left-side vertical rack rails with the middle rail

toward the inside.

4. Continue screwing in the front screws until

they secure the front flange.

5. At the rear, continue screwing in the rear

screws until they secure the rear flange.

6. Secure the rear component nuts and screws.

7. For the right-side rail, repeat Steps 3–5.

This completes the installation of the rails. Continue now with “Install the Node.”

Non-threaded Round-holed Racks

Two sets of adapters are provided for non-threaded round-holed racks. The screws

securing the rails are loosely installed now and are secured when the unit is installed.

1. Position the left (L) slide rail between the left-side vertical rack rails with the

middle rail toward the inside.

2. At the front, loosely install two screws through the marked holes into the

adapter.

3. At the rear, fully extend the rear component and loosely install two screws

through the marked holes into the adapter.

4. Repeat Steps 1–3 for the right (R) slide rail.

5. On both rails, tighten the nuts and screws on the rear components.

This completes the installation of the rails. Continue now with “Install the Node.”

Install the Node

WARNING: It is recommended that a mechanical lifter (or at least two people) be used

to raise and align the unit to prevent injury during installation. Use care when inserting

or removing a unit into or out of a rack to prevent the accidental tipping of the rack, causing

damage or personal injury.

1. Slide out the middle slide rails on both sides.

2. Using the mechanical lifter, position the node

in front of the rack.

3. Insert the node inner rails into the middle

rails and slide the node into the rack.

4. Special steps for a round-holed rack:

a. Slide the node back and forth once to set the rails.

b. Push the node in and tighten the four rear rail screws.

c. Pulling the unit out a few inches, tighten the four front rail screws.

d. Push the node all the way into the rack.

5. Secure the node to the rack with the captive screws.

Step 4

The node comes with only blank drive carriers installed. Up to 12 disk drives can be

installed with blank carriers filling in the empty slots.

NOTE: Do not remove the disk drives from their carriers. Doing so voids the drive warranty.

Install Drives

Once the SnapScale is in the rack, install the drives as follows:

1. For slots that will be used for drives, remove the

blank drive carriers, leaving the remaining

blanks in place in the unused slots.

2. Positioning a drive assembly in front of the

appropriate bay, slide it in until the latch clicks,

locking the assembly in the bay.

3. Repeat Step 2 for each remaining drive assembly.

IMPORTANT: To maintain proper airflow and cooling, a drive assembly or a blank drive

carrier must be installed in every slot. No empty slots are allowed.

Attach the Bezel

1. Position the bezel with the top and bottom tabs aligned with the chassis front.

2. Move the bezel toward the unit until the magnets engage.

3. Verify that the bezel is aligned properly with all the LEDs visible and the Power

Panel on the right side in line with the bezel flange hole.

Step 5

Cable Attachment

IMPORTANT: The speed/duplex setting of the Ethernet ports defaults to autonegotiate.

The networking switches or hubs used must also be configured to autonegotiate;

otherwise, network throughput or connectivity to the SnapScale may be seriously impacted.

1Gb Version

1. Verify that all client and storage switches are connected to a UPS.

For failover, verify that the two storage switches are plugged into different UPS

units connected to different power sources.

2. Using the two included 1Gb cables or two 10Gb cables, connect the Client

Ethernet ports on the node to the Client switch.

3. Using an included 1Gb cable or a 10Gb cable, connect the Storage Ethernet port

on the node to one of two Storage switches.

NOTE: The storage-side network must be isolated and exclusive to the cluster.

4. Using an included 1Gb cable or a 10Gb cable, connect the Storage Ethernet port

on the node to the other Storage switch (for failover).

5. Connect the two Storage switches together using an included 1Gb cable or a 10Gb

cable.

6. Attach both supplied power cords to the AC power sockets on the node and the

other ends to different UPS units.

NOTE: SnapScale nodes are designed to work with APC-brand USB or network-based UPS

devices to automatically shut down cleanly in the event of a power failure. Refer to the

administrator’s guide for detailed information on their use.

7. Briefly press the front power switch to power on the node.

Important – Read This Before Continuing

After initial power up, a new SnapScale node takes up to 10 minutes to complete the

new appliance initialization process. During this time, the Status LED flashes an

alternating green and amber pattern.

CAUTION: Under no circumstances should power be removed while the system is in this

state! Doing so may render the appliance inoperable.

Once initialization is complete, the system automatically reboots and the Status LED

displays a solid green color.

Step 6

Before continuing, install all the nodes that will make up the SnapScale cluster using

the Quick Start Guide that came with them.

When all the nodes are ready, continue with Step 7 below.

Step 7

Connecting for the First Time

IMPORTANT: SnapScale Independent nodes are configured to acquire an IP address

from a DHCP server on the client network. If no DHCP server is found on the network, the

node defaults to an IP address in the range of 169.254.xxx.xxx. You may not be able to see the

appliance on your network until you discover and optionally assign an IP address.

This procedure requires that name resolution services (via DNS or an equivalent

service) be operational.

NOTE: If necessary, use SnapServer Manager (SSM) to locate the new node. If not installed,

go to the Overland Storage web site to download the SSM software and user guide.

1. Find the node name of one of the nodes.

The default SnapScale node name is “Nodennnnnnn,” where nnnnnnn is the node

number. The node number is a unique, numeric-only string that appears on a

label affixed to the bottom of the node.

2. In a web browser, enter the node name as the URL.

For example, enter “http://Nodennnnnnn” (the default SnapScale node name).

3. Press

Enter

to connect to the Web Management Interface.

4. In the login dialog box, enter admin as the user name and admin as the

password, then click

5. Complete the Initial Setup Wizard to either create a new SnapScale cluster or

join an existing cluster.

Your SnapScale system is ready to be configured for your specific environment.
