1 About your Dell PowerEdge FD332 The Dell PowerEdge FD332 is a storage sled supported on the Dell PowerEdge FX2s enclosure. PowerEdge FD332 supports up to sixteen hot swap 2.5 inch hard drives/SSDs, and a storage controller module with single or dual controller modes.
Front panel features and indicators—PowerEdge FD332 Figure 1. Front panel features and indicators Item Indicator, Button, or Connector Description 1 Drive drawer Consists of up to sixteen 2.5 inch hard drives/SSDs. 2 Mini Enterprise Service Tag (MEST) A removable label panel that lists the system Service Tag. 3 Sled release latch (2) Used to slide the storage sled out of the enclosure. 4 Sled lock (2) Used to secure or release the storage sled from the enclosure.
Indicator pattern Description Solid blue The storage sled is powered on, and is operating normally. Blinking blue The compute sled to which the storage sled is mapped, is identified. Blinking amber The storage sled or any component inside the storage sled is in fault condition. Hard drive/SSD indicators The hard drive/SSD indicators are located on top of the drive drawer. There is a single status/activity indicator for each drive slot. Figure 3.

2 Performing initial system configuration After you receive your PowerEdge FD332 system, you must set up your system in the enclosure. If your storage sled has shipped preinstalled in the enclosure, it is recommended that you remove the sled before you install the enclosure in the rack, to reduce chassis weight. Topics: • Setting up your PowerEdge FD332 • Managing your system remotely • Downloading drivers and firmware Setting up your PowerEdge FD332 1 Unpack the storage sled.
Downloading drivers and firmware It is recommended that you download and install the latest BIOS, drivers, and systems management firmware on the compute sled to which the storage sled is mapped, and on the chassis infrastructure. Prerequisite Ensure that you clear the web browser cache. Steps 1 Go to dell.com/support/drivers. 2 In the Product Selection section, enter the Service Tag of your system in the Service Tag or Express Service Code field.
3 Storage sled mapping configurations The storage controller(s) inside a storage sled map to compute sled(s) in the enclosure. PowerEdge FX2s supports multiple storage sled to compute sled mapping configurations. NOTE: Storage sled to compute sled mapping is pre-configured. NOTE: The PowerEdge FM120x4 compute sled does not support the storage sled. You cannot map a storage sled to the PowerEdge FM120x4 half-width compute sled.

Single PERC/HBA joined mode mapping configuration—three-bay chassis Split mode mapping configurations CAUTION: Changing the storage sled mapping configuration from Joined mode to Split mode can result in loss of configuration and/or loss of access to hard drives/SSDs.
Split single host mapping configuration In the split single host mapping configuration, dual controllers inside a storage sled map to a single compute sled. The following enclosure configurations support split single host mapping. • • • Four-bay chassis with two compute sleds—dual controllers inside a storage sled map to a half-width compute sled. Four-bay chassis with one compute sled—dual controllers inside each storage sled map to the single half-width compute sled.
Figure 12. Split dual host configuration—four-bay chassis Figure 13. Split dual host configuration—four-bay chassis Figure 14. Split dual host configuration—six-bay chassis Drive to storage controller mapping Your system supports up to sixteen 2.5 inch SAS/SATA hard drives/SSDs. When you install a storage controller module with a single controller, all the drives map to the single controller.

4 Installing and removing storage sled components This section provides information on installing and removing the storage sled components. For information on removing and installing the compute sled components, see the relevant sled Owner’s Manual at dell.com/poweredgemanuals. For information on installing and removing the enclosure components, see the enclosure Owner's Manual at dell.com/poweredgemanuals.
NOTE: It is recommended that you always use an antistatic mat and antistatic strap while working on components inside the system. Before working inside your system 1 Turn off the compute sled(s) to which the storage sled is mapped, by using the CMC, iDRAC, or the power button on the compute sled. When the sled is turned off, its front panel power indicator is off. The storage sled also turns off. 2 Remove the storage sled from the enclosure. 3 Install the I/O connector cover.
Steps 1 Using a Phillips #2 screwdriver, turn the storage sled locks on the sled front panel to unlock position. CAUTION: If you are permanently removing the sled, install a sled blank. Operating the enclosure for extended periods of time without a sled blank installed can cause the enclosure to overheat. 2 Lift the sled release latches upward by 90 degrees, and holding it by the latches, pull the sled out of the enclosure.

You should only perform troubleshooting and simple repairs as authorized in your product documentation, or as directed by the online or telephone service and support team.
CAUTION: To ensure that a storage sled is properly installed, slide the sled into the enclosure bay until the dotted line on top of the storage sled is not visible from the top edge of the bay in which the storage sled is being installed. CAUTION: If a compute sled is already installed in an enclosure bay above the bay in which you are installing a storage sled, the compute sled may obscure the dotted line on the storage sled.

Diagnostic messages The system diagnostic utilities may issue messages if you run diagnostic tests on your system. For more information about system diagnostics, see Using system diagnostics. Alert messages Systems management software generates alert messages for your system. Alert messages include information, status, warning, and failure messages for drive, temperature, fan, and power conditions. For more information, see the systems management software documentation.
6 Using system diagnostics NOTE: You cannot run diagnostics tests on PowerEdge FD332. You must run system diagnostics from the compute sled(s) to which PowerEdge FD332 is mapped. If you experience a problem with your system, run the system diagnostics before contacting Dell for technical assistance. The purpose of running system diagnostics is to test your system hardware without requiring additional equipment or risking data loss.
Running the Embedded System Diagnostics from the Dell Lifecycle Controller 1 As the system boots, press . 2 Select Hardware Diagnostics → Run Hardware Diagnostics. The ePSA Pre-boot System Assessment window is displayed, listing all devices detected in the system. The diagnostics starts executing the tests on all the detected devices. Running Embedded System Diagnostics from an external media 1 Format the external resource media (USB flash drive or CD) to emulate a hard drive.
