Setting Up the Storage System Consider the following best practices when setting up an SCv2080 storage system. • Dell recommends that you use a dedicated SAN network for data transmission when using a Fibre Channel or iSCSI storage system. • Complete the Worksheet to Record System Information in this guide before configuring the storage system. • Always configure redundant data paths to provide alternate paths to and from the host server should one of the data paths become disabled.
care when opening drawers and removing drive carriers. Electrical disconnection Indicates that all electrical supply connections to the storage system must be disconnected before proceeding. Battery pack warning Remove the battery pack before removing a storage controller from the storage system. WARNING: Installing an incompatible battery may increase the risk of fire or explosion.
Worksheet to Record System Information Use the following worksheet to record the information that is needed to install the SCv2080 storage system. Storage Center Information Gather and record the following information about the Storage Center network and the administrator user. Table 1. Storage Center Network Service Tag ________________ Management IPv4 address (Storage Center management address) ___ . ___ . ___ . ___ Left Controller IPv4 address (Controller 1 MGMT port) ___ . ___ . ___ .
iSCSI Fault Domain Information For a storage system with iSCSI front-end ports, gather and record network information for the iSCSI fault domains. This information is needed to complete the Discover and Configure Uninitialized SCv2000 Series Storage Centers wizard. NOTE: For a storage system deployed with two Ethernet switches, Dell recommends setting up each fault domain on separate subnets.
(4-port I/O card only) IPv4 address for storage controller module 2: port 4 ___ . ___ . ___ . ___ Additional Storage Center Information The Network Time Protocol (NTP) and Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) server information is optional. The proxy server information is also optional, but it may be required to complete the Discover and Configure Uninitialized SCv2000 Series Storage Centers wizard. Table 5. NTP, SMTP, and Proxy Servers NTP server IPv4 address ___ . ___ . ___ .
(4-port I/O card only) Physical WWN of storage controller ________________ 1: port 3 (4-port I/O card only) Physical WWN of storage controller ________________ 2: port 3 Table 7.
Locating Your Service Tag Your storage system is identified by a unique service tag and Express Service Code. You can find the service tag on the back of the storage system chassis. Dell uses this information to route support calls to the appropriate personnel. Figure 1. Service Tag Location Other Information You May Need To install the storage system, you may need the following additional information. NOTE: See the safety and regulatory information that shipped with your Storage Center components.
Installation and Configuration Before you begin installation, make sure that the site where you plan to install the storage system has 208 V power from an independent source or a rack power distribution unit with a UPS. (110 V power is not supported.) In addition, verify that there is a 5U space in the lower 20U of the rack to install the storage system. If you plan to install the storage system above the lower 20U of a rack, a customer-provided mechanical lift must be used to avoid injury.
prevent the rack from tipping or being pushed over during installation or in normal use. • To avoid danger of the rack toppling over, slide only one chassis out of the rack at a time. • The storage system must be operated with low-pressure rear exhaust installation (back pressure created by rack doors and obstacles not to exceed 5 Pascals [0.5 mm water gauge]). Unpacking Storage Center Equipment Unpack the storage system and identify the items in your shipment. Figure 2.
Installing the Storage System in a Rack Install the SCv2080 storage system and other Storage Center system components in a rack. NOTE: Mount the storage system in a manner that allows for expansion in the rack and prevents the rack from becoming top‐heavy. WARNING: If you plan to install the storage system above the lower 20U of a rack, a customer-provided mechanical lift must be used to avoid injury. 1.
Figure 4. Mount the SCv2080 Storage System Chassis 5. Secure the storage system chassis to the rails using mounting screws and by bolting the rear hold-down brackets to the chassis. 6. Attach the plastic covers to the left and right side of the front of the storage system chassis. For more information about installing the storage system, see the Dell Storage Center SCv2080 Storage System Deployment Guide. 7.
Populate each row with identical drives. Do not mix types, speeds, or sizes in a single row. 1. Open the top drawer. CAUTION: If the storage system operates for too long (depending on altitude) with a drawer open, the storage system may overheat, causing a power failure and data loss. Such use may invalidate the warranty. a. Push and hold both drawer latches toward the center of the drawer. b. Pull out the drawer all the way until it stops. 2. Populate the first row with 14 drives.
Figure 5. Installing DDIC in Drawer 1. DDIC 2. Top drawer CAUTION: If the DDIC fails to latch, do not use it and request a replacement from Dell Technical Support. If a faulty DDIC unlatches within a closed drawer, it can make the drawer unable to be opened. 3. Close the drawer after inserting the DDICs. a. Locate the two lock-release buttons situated midway along the runners on each side of the drawer. b.
4. Repeat the previous steps for the bottom drawer, populating the first row with 14 drives. 5. To maintain proper airflow, populate the remaining rows in the following order: a. Top drawer middle row b. Bottom drawer middle row c. Top drawer back row d. Bottom drawer back row Connecting the Power Cables Connect the power cables to the storage system. 1. Before connecting the power cables, make sure that the power switches on the storage system are in the OFF position. 2.
CAUTION: Be careful when closing the rear rack door to ensure that power cords have adequate space as some racks might not be sufficiently deep.
