Introduction 3

Introduction 0

The Quantum DX-Series system consists of the DX30 and DX100 device. Both

are backup devices based upon high speed disk drives instead of tape drives.

The DX30 consists of:

• A single controller and 1 to 4 storage arrays.

The DX100 consists of:

• A single controller and 2 to 16 storage arrays

• One or two Fibre Channel switches

• An Ethernet switch

• Two or more AC power sequencers.

The system emulates an ATL P1000 library with up to 55 virtual digital linear

tape (DLT™) 7000 tape drives for DX100 and up to 30 DLT7000 tape drives

for DX30 (see figure 1).

Both the DX30 and the DX100 use the same system components (controller

and storage arrays). The DX100 storage arrays, however, contain dual RAID

controllers and the overall DX100 system can expand to sixteen storage

arrays. The DX100 controller also has a full compliment of Fibre Channel

HBAs (two quad port HBAs and four dual port HBAs) whereas the DX30 has

two Fibre Channel HBAs (one quad port HBA and one dual port HBA).

This document describes how to unpack and install both a DX30 and DX100

system into a customer-provided rack enclosure.

Note: The DX-Series storage array is shipped with the following RAID

configuration (refer to the Quantum DX-Series User’s Guide

PN6513501 for more information on RAID configurations):

• 1 logical drive configured in RAID 5 (7 data drives + 1 parity

drive)

• 1 logical drive configured in RAID 5 (6 data drives + 1 parity

drive)

• 1 global hot spare

To reconfigure the DX-Series storage array to either remove the hot

spare or add an additional hot spare (total of two hot spares), refer

to the Quantum DX-Series Field Service Manual PN6513503. The

RAID configuration MUST be set prior to powering on the DX-Series

system.

Rack Space

Requirements 0Figure 2 shows the minimum rack space required by both the DX30 and

DX100.

• Depth - 30 in (76.2 cm)

• Width - 19 in (48.3 cm)

• Height - 10.5 in (27 cm) - 3U per additional array

• DX30 base unit - 6U (15U with a maximum of 4 storage arrays)

• DX100 base unit - 12U (58U for a maximum of 16 storage arrays, two

Fibre Channel switches, two or more AC power sequencers, and one

Ethernet switch)

• Weight - Storage array - 75 lbs (34 kg), controller - 52 lbs (24 kg)

• DX100 only - Fibre Channel switch 20 lbs (9 kg), Ethernet switch -

5 lbs (2.3 kg), and AC power sequencer - 10 lbs (4.5 kg)

• Clearance behind DX-Series system - 4 in (10 cm) for proper air flow

• Clearance above DX-Series controller module - 6 in (15 cm) for access to

the fan modules and Fibre Channel HBAs in the controller.

Requirements

Environmental

Conditions 0The installation site must have the following environmental conditions:

• Humidity: 20%-80% non-condensing

• Temperature: 15°C-35°C (59°F-95°F)

• Altitude: -984 to 10,000 feet (-300 to 3048 meters)

These environmental conditions apply when the DX-Series system is in

operation.

Note: For additional DX-Series specifications (including environmental

requirements during shipping and storage), see the Quantum

DX-Series User’s Guide (PN 6513501).

Preparing for the Installation 7

Preparing for the Installation 0

Before you begin the installation procedure in this section, make the

following preparations as described in this section:

•Providing Necessary Tools and Equipment

•Taking ESD Precautions

Providing Necessary

Tools and Equipment 0Provide the following tools for unpacking the DX-Series system:

• #1 PHILLIPS® screwdriver

• #2 PHILLIPS screwdriver

• #1 Flat head screwdriver

• Antistatic wrist strap included in accessory kit

Taking ESD

Precautions 0Some components within the DX-Series system contain static-sensitive parts.

To avoid damaging these parts while performing installation procedures,

always observe the following precautions:

• Keep the DX-Series system turned off during all installation procedures.

• Use an antistatic wrist strap (included in the accessory kit).

• Keep static-sensitive parts in their original shipping containers until

ready for installation.

• Do not place static-sensitive parts on a metal surface. Place them inside

their protective shipping bag or on an antistatic mat.

• Avoid touching connectors and other components.

Unpacking the DX-Series System 0

This section explains how to unpack the DX-Series system components and

move them to their final installation location. The DX-Series system is

shipped in two configurations: DX30 and DX100 (see table 1):

Note: Dry climates and cold-weather heating environments have lower

relative humidity and are more likely to produce static electricity.
