Special caution and safety noticesThis information describes special safety notices that apply to the Storwize V7000.These notices are in addition to the standard safety notices supplied and addressspecific issues relevant to the equipment provided.

General safetyWhen you service the Storwize V7000, follow general safety guidelines.

Use the following general rules to ensure safety to yourself and others.v Observe good housekeeping in the area where the devices are kept during and

after maintenance.v Follow the guidelines when lifting any heavy object:

1. Ensure that you can stand safely without slipping.2. Distribute the weight of the object equally between your feet.3. Use a slow lifting force. Never move suddenly or twist when you attempt to

lift.4. Lift by standing or by pushing up with your leg muscles; this action removes

the strain from the muscles in your back. Do not attempt to lift any objects thatweigh more than 18 kg (40 lb) or objects that you think are too heavy for you.

v Do not perform any action that causes a hazard or makes the equipment unsafe.v Before you start the device, ensure that other personnel are not in a hazardous

position.v Place removed covers and other parts in a safe place, away from all personnel,

while you are servicing the unit.v Keep your tool case away from walk areas so that other people cannot trip over

it.v Do not wear loose clothing that can be trapped in the moving parts of a device.

Ensure that your sleeves are fastened or rolled up above your elbows. If yourhair is long, fasten it.

xvi Storwize V7000 Gen2: Quick Installation Guide

v Insert the ends of your necktie or scarf inside clothing or fasten it with anonconducting clip, approximately 8 cm (3 in.) from the end.

v Do not wear jewelry, chains, metal-frame eyeglasses, or metal fasteners for yourclothing.

Remember: Metal objects are good electrical conductors.v Wear safety glasses when you are hammering, drilling, soldering, cutting wire,

attaching springs, using solvents, or working in any other conditions that mightbe hazardous to your eyes.

v After service, reinstall all safety shields, guards, labels, and ground wires.Replace any safety device that is worn or defective.

v Reinstall all covers correctly after you have finished servicing the unit.

Handling static-sensitive devicesEnsure that you understand how to handle devices that are sensitive to staticelectricity.

Attention: Static electricity can damage electronic devices and your system. Toavoid damage, keep static-sensitive devices in their static-protective bags until youare ready to install them.

To reduce the possibility of electrostatic discharge, observe the followingprecautions:v Limit your movement. Movement can cause static electricity to build up around

you.v Handle the device carefully, holding it by its edges or frame.v Do not touch solder joints, pins, or exposed printed circuitry.v Do not leave the device where others can handle and possibly damage the

device.v While the device is still in its antistatic bag, touch it to an unpainted metal part

of the system unit for at least two seconds. (This action removes static electricityfrom the package and from your body.)

v Remove the device from its package and install it directly into your StorwizeV7000, without putting it down. If it is necessary to put the device down, placeit onto its static-protective bag. (If your device is an adapter, place itcomponent-side up.) Do not place the device onto the cover of the StorwizeV7000 or onto a metal table.

v Take additional care when you handle devices during cold weather. Indoorhumidity tends to decrease in cold weather, causing an increase in staticelectricity.

Chapter 1. Before you begin the installation

Before you can begin installing your system, you must unpack and verify yourorder and make other preparations.

The Quick Installation Guide contains a set of instructions to help you unpack andinstall your system. The guide is divided into three chapters.1. The steps in Chapter 1, “Before you begin the installation” (the chapter you are

now reading) involve verifying your order, becoming familiar with thehardware component terminology, and ensuring that you have met theenvironmental requirements.

2. The steps in Chapter 2, “Installing the hardware,” on page 11 involve installingthe hardware and attaching the data cables and power cords.

3. Chapter 3, “Configuring the system,” on page 29 helps you create yourconfiguration file and access the management GUI. The management GUIguides you through the initial configuration process.

Important information:v This guide presumes that you have read the planning information regarding

your physical environment that is available from the Storwize V7000 InformationCenter.

v Ensure that any cables that you are supplying are available for installation.

Installation scenarios

Depending on your order, this documentation steps you through setting up yoursystem for the following scenarios:v Setting up a new system that consists of a control enclosure only. In this case,

you are not installing any expansion enclosures.v Setting up a new system that consists of a control enclosure and one or more

expansion enclosures.

v Adding an expansion enclosure to an existing system. In this case, you initiallyinstalled a control enclosure (and, optionally, one or more expansion enclosures).You want to add an expansion enclosure to your existing system. You do notneed to power off the system. You can add an expansion enclosure while thesystem is operational.

v Adding a control enclosure (either by itself or with one or more expansionenclosures) to an existing system. You do not need to power off the system. Youcan add a control enclosure while the system is operational.

v Setting up a new system that consists of more than one control enclosure.Install the first control enclosure and then the required expansion enclosures. Foreach additional control enclosure, complete the setup as if you were adding it toan existing system.

Verifying environmental requirementsThe environmental and electrical requirements for the physical site must be met toensure that your system works reliably.

Before installing Storwize V7000, you must verify that adequate space in a suitablerack is available and that requirements for power and environmental conditionsare met.

This guide assumes that you have completed the physical planning for theenvironment of your system. If you have not done the environmental planning foryour system, see the “Storwize V7000 physical installation planning” topic in theStorwize V7000 Information Center.

Reviewing enclosure location guidelinesBefore installing the enclosures, you must be familiar with these enclosure locationguidelines.

Installing a control enclosure only

If you are installing a control enclosure only, follow these guidelines.v Position the enclosure in the rack so that you can easily view it and access it for

servicing.v Locate the enclosure low enough for the rack to remain stable.v Ensure that you provide a way for two or more people to install and remove the

enclosure.

fab10053

Figure 6. Expansion enclosure support rails


Installing a control enclosure and one or more expansionenclosures

If you are installing a control enclosure plus one or more expansion enclosures,follow these guidelines.v A Storwize V7000 system can support up to 1056 drives installed into control

and expansion enclosures. Each enclosure requires 2U of rack space.v Each assembled enclosure weighs more than 36kg. There must be sufficient

space at the front of the rack for three persons to carry the enclosure safely.v Each system can consist of up to four control enclosures. Each control enclosure

can be connected to up to 20 expansion enclosures (two SAS chains of up to 10expansion enclosures each).

v For best performance, the total number of expansion enclosures to be installedshould be divided between each control enclosure in the system.

v Where expansion enclosures are to be installed, distribute them evenly into rackspace above and below the control enclosure that they will connect to, withoutleaving gaps between the enclosures. This aids cabling and serviceability.

v Leave space in the rack for future expansion enclosures, but otherwise install allenclosures that constitute one system in adjacent or nearby rack space.

v If a rack is to be only partially filled, install the enclosures low enough for therack to remain stable and enable easy access to the enclosures for servicing.

Adding an expansion enclosure to an existing system

If you are adding an expansion enclosure to an existing system, follow theseguidelines.v You do not need to power off the system. You can add an expansion enclosure

while the system is operational.v Add the first expansion enclosure directly below the control enclosure.v Add the second expansion enclosure directly above the control enclosure.v Add the third expansion enclosure directly below the first.v Add the fourth expansion directly above the second, and so on.


Chapter 2. Installing the hardware

After verifying that you have all of the hardware components that you require,you can install them.

You have completed the initial steps of verifying the shipping contents andbecoming familiar with the hardware components. You have verified that thepower and environmental requirements are met and have planned the location ofthe enclosures. You are now ready to begin installing the hardware componentsand connecting the data cables and power cords.

Installing support rails for the control enclosureBefore you install the control enclosure, you must first install the support rails forit.

Figure 20. Connecting the SAS cables


SAS cabling guidelinesWhen connecting SAS cables between enclosures, you must follow a list ofguidelines to ensure that your configuration is valid.

Orienting the connector

When inserting SAS cables, make sure the connector (Figure 21) is orientedcorrectly.v The orientation of the connector must match the orientation of the port before

you push the connector into the port. The cable connector and socket are keyed,and it is important that you have proper alignment of the keys when the cable isinserted.

v The blue pull tab must be below the connector.v Insert the connector gently until it clicks into place. If you feel resistance, the

connector is probably oriented the wrong way. Do not force it.v When inserted correctly, the connector can only be removed by pulling the tab.v When both ends of a SAS cable are inserted correctly, the green link LEDs next

to the connected SAS ports are lit.

Guidelines

Be aware of the following guidelines when you begin to attach the cables to theSAS ports.v No more than ten expansion enclosures can be chained to SAS port 1 of a node

canister. The expansion enclosures in this chain should be installed below thecontrol enclosure (as shown in Figure 22 on page 24).

v No more than ten expansion enclosures can be chained to SAS port 2 of a nodecanister. The expansion enclosures in this chain should be installed above thecontrol enclosure (as shown in Figure 22 on page 24).

v No cable can be connected between a port on a left canister and a port on aright canister.

v A cable must not be connected between ports in the same enclosure.v A connected port on the node canister must connect to a single port on an

expansion canister. Cables that split the connector out into separate physicalconnections are not supported.

v3500179

Figure 21. SAS cable connectors


v Attach cables serially between enclosures; do not skip an enclosure.v The last enclosure in a chain must not have cables in port 2 of canister 1 and

port 2 of canister 2.v Ensure that cables are installed in an orderly way to reduce the risk of cable

damage when replaceable units are removed or inserted.

Connecting Ethernet cables to node canistersThe control enclosure has several Ethernet ports present or optionally present onthe rear of each node canister. Ports 1 and 2 provide access to system managementfacilities. Ports 1, 2 and 3 on the rear of each canister can also provide iSCSIconnectivity.

Procedure

To install the cables, complete the following steps.1. Connect Ethernet port 1 of each node canister in the system to the IP network

that will provide connection to the system management interfaces, as shown inFigure 23 on page 25. This port can also be used for iSCSI connectivity to the

system by hosts on the network. Where more than one control enclosure ispresent in the system, ensure port 1 of every node canister is connected to thesame network to provide access in the event of configuration node fail-over.

2. Optionally, connect Ethernet port 2 of each node canister in the system to asecond IP network that will provide redundant connection to the systemmanagement interfaces, as shown by the lighter cable connection in Figure 23.This port can also be used for iSCSI connectivity to the system by hosts on thenetwork. Where more than one control enclosure is present in the system,ensure that port 2 of every node canister is connected to the same network toprovide access in the event of configuration node fail-over.

3. Optionally, connect Ethernet port 3 of both node canisters in a system to thenetworks that will provide additional iSCSI connectivity to the system.

Note: Do not connect the Ethernet technician port (labeled T) to a networkswitch. The technician port must only be directly connected to a personalcomputer when initializing a system or servicing a node.

3. If a control enclosure is already installed, you can optionally add fibre channelconnections between all the control enclosures.v This involves both the physical installation of the cables and configuring the

correct zoning on the Fibre Channel switches.v Configure the network so that every node canister has at least two

connections to every node canister in a different control enclosure.v You must configure the network before attempting to add a new control

enclosure to an existing system.

Powering on the systemAfter installing all hardware components, you must power on the system andcheck its status.

About this task

Attention: Do not power on the system with any open bays or slots.v Every unused drive bay must be occupied by a filler panel.v Filler plates must be installed in all empty host interface card slots.

Open bays or slots disrupt the internal air flow, causing the drives to receiveinsufficient cooling.

Procedure

To power on the system, complete the following steps.1. Power on all expansion enclosures by connecting both power supply units of

the enclosure to their power sources, using the supplied power cables. If thepower sources have circuit breakers or switches, ensure that they are turned on.The enclosure does not have power switches. Repeat this step for eachexpansion enclosure in the system.

Note: Each enclosure has two power supply units. To provide power failureredundancy, connect the two power cords to separate power circuits.
