7.4 Procedure – connecting the controller-drive tray to theexpansion drive traysThe DSA E‑Series expansion drive trays are shipped with the appropriate number of SAScables.The following figures show valid host-to--controller-drive tray configurations when using anE2700 controller- drive tray.

One expansion drive tray (simplex controller configuration)

One expansion drive tray (dual simplex controller configuration)(recommended cabling for maximum throughput)

Two expansion drive trays (dual simplex controller configuration)



Maximum expansion (dual simplex controller configuration)Example: for DE1600 (only 3 expansions for DE6600)

Notice!You can connect the E2700 controller-drive tray to a maximum of 7 DE1600 expansion drivetrays or to a maximum of 3 DE6600 expansion drive trays. No mixed configurations expansiondrive trays are allowed.

To connect the components:1. Plug either the SAS cable or copper cables into the controller.2. Plug the cable either into an HBA in the host (direct topology) or into a switch (fabric

topology).3. Affix a label to each end of the cable with the relevant information. A label is very

important if you need to disconnect cables to service a controller. Include thisinformation on the labels:



– The host name and the HBA port (for direct topology)– The switch name and the port (for fabric topology)– The controller ID (for example, controller A)– The host channel ID (for example, host channel 1)Example label abbreviation – Assume that a cable is connected between port 1 in HBA 1of a host named Engineering and host channel 1 of controller A.A label abbreviation could be as follows.

4. Repeat step 1 through step 4 for each controller and host channel that you intend to use.

7.5 Connecting to the networkIn case of a Bosch Video Recording Solution a host is an IP camera. To connect the controllerto the Ethernet one or two of two available iSCSI host ports must be connected to theEthernet. The iSCSI port connections will then be used by the IP cameras for video datatraffic.Connect the cable from the iSCSI host port to a port on the switch and make sure that theiSCSI ports of the controller and the relevant IP camera ports are in the same zone on theswitch.

8.5 Procedure – installing drives on the de6600 drive trayThe DE6600 drive tray is shipped with the drive drawers installed, but the drives are notinstalled. Follow the steps in this procedure to install the drives.


The installation order within each drawer is from left to right in rows. Slots 1, 4, 7, and 10must have a drive installed in these locations to make sure there is sufficient air flow to thedrives. To verify these slots, consult the overlay on the front of each of the five drive drawers.Make sure the four drives in each row are adjacent to each other. The long edge of each driveshould touch the drive next to it. To maintain a uniform airflow across all drive drawers, thedrive tray must be configured with a minimum of 20 drives, with four drives in the front row ofeach of the five drive drawers.

Notice!Risk of equipment malfunctionAll 60-drive trays have a limit of five solid state drives (SSDs) per drawer. If you exceed thislimit for SSDs in a particular drawer, the power source in the drawer could fail.

7. Push the drive drawer all the way back into the drive tray, closing the levers on each sideof the drive drawer.Note: Risk of equipment malfunction – Make sure you push both levers to each side sothe drive drawer is completely closed. The drive drawer must be completely closed toprevent excess airflow, which has the potential to damage the drives.

8. Continue onto the next drive drawer, repeating step 1 through step 7 for each drivedrawer in the configuration.

8.6 Things to know – connecting the power cordsObserve the following:– For each AC power connector on the drive tray, make sure that you use a separate power

source in the cabinet. Connecting to independent power sources maintains powerredundancy.

– To ensure proper cooling and assure availability, the drive tray always uses two powersupplies.

– You can use the power cords shipped with the drive tray with typical outlets used in thedestination country, such as a wall receptacle or an uninterrupted power supply (UPS).These power cords, however, are not intended for use in most EIA-compliant cabinets.



Notice!Make sure that you do not turn on the power to the drive tray until this installation guideinstructs you to do so.

8.7 Procedure – connecting the power cordsTo connect the power cords:1. Make sure that the circuit breakers in the cabinet are turned off.2. Make sure that both of the Power switches on the drive trays are turned off.3. Connect the primary power cords from the cabinet to the external power source.

9.4 Things to know – drive tray cabling configurations for theE2712 controller-drive trayThe figures in this section show representative cabling configurations. The configurationsshown guarantee that redundant data paths exist between the controller-drive tray and allattached drive trays in a storage array. You can attach the E2712 controller-drive tray to thefollowing drive trays: DE1600 drive trays or DE6600 drive trays.You need two or four SAS cables to attach one or two drive trays to the controller-drive tray.For each additional drive tray, you need two more SAS cables.

Notice!To connect a drive tray to a controller drive tray, you need two Mini-SAS HD to Mini-SAScables.To connect an additional drive tray to a drive tray, you need two Mini-SAS to Mini-SAS cables.

These general rules apply:– All cables connect a SAS Expansion (Out) port at one end to a SAS IN port at the other

end. Never connect a SAS Expansion (Out) port to another SAS Expansion (Out) port.Never connect a SAS In port to another SAS IN port.– You can use either of the two SAS IN ports on an ESM for a connection, but it is best

to follow the conventions described in the documentation so your storagemanagement software represents the storage array consistently.

– The drive trays in the chain of connections from controller A are in the reverse order fromthose whose connections start from controller B. That is, the last drive tray in the chainfrom controller A must be the first drive tray in the chain from controller B.

E2700 controllers share two drive-side SAS domains. The dual expansion ports allow externalbandwidth capability, as each port contains four PHYs on each E2700 controller.When there is only one drive tray, connect both controller ports to the same ESM in a singlestack to maximize performance.When there is more than one drive tray, connect one port on controller A to the left ESM ofthe first drive tray in the stack and one port on controller B to the right ESM of the last drivetray in a dual stack to maximize performance. Dual stack cabling requires that both expansionports on the controllers are used for drive-side cabling in order to create two stacks.

10 Connecting the ethernet cablesUse this chapter if you are using out-of-band management for your storage array. If you use in-band management, you can ignore this chapter. To continue, see Connecting the power cords,page 54.

10.1 Key termsin-band managementA method to manage a storage array in which a storage management station sends commandsto the storage array through the host input/output (I/O) connection to the controller. TheSMagent must be installed for this method to work correctly.

out-of-band managementA method to manage a storage array in which a storage management station sends commandsto the storage array through the Ethernet connections on the controller. This is therecommended management method.

10.2 Things to know – connecting Ethernet cablesThis topic concerns Ethernet management connections, not the Ethernet iSCSI connectionsthat might be used through a host interface card connection.

Notice!Risk of security breachConnect the Ethernet ports on the controller-drive tray to a private network segment behind afirewall. If the Ethernet connection is not protected by a firewall, your storage array might beat risk of being accessed from outside of your network.

Observe the following:– Ethernet port 2 on each controller is reserved for access by Technical Support.– Because the controllers support the Auto-MDIX feature, you do not need an Ethernet

crossover cable.

10.3 Procedure – connecting Ethernet cablesTo connect Ethernet cables for out-of-band management:1. Connect one end of an Ethernet cable into the Ethernet port 1 on controller A.2. Connect the other end to the applicable network connection.3. Repeat step 1 through step 2 for controller B.

11 Connecting the power cordsUse the following information to connect the power cords in your storage array.

11.1 Things to know – AC power cordsObserve the following:– For each AC power connector on the drive tray, make sure that you use a separate power

source in the cabinet. Connecting to independent power sources maintains powerredundancy.

– To ensure proper cooling, do not operate a drive tray with one of its power suppliesremoved.

– You can use the power cords shipped with the controller-drive tray with typical outletsused in the destination country, such as a wall receptacle or an uninterrupted powersupply (UPS). These power cords, however, are not intended for use in most EIA-compliant cabinets.

11.2 Procedure – connecting AC power cordsTo connect AC power cords:1. Make sure that the circuit breakers in the cabinet are turned off.2. Make sure that both of the Power switches on the controller-drive tray are turned off.

12 Turning on the power and checking for problems in anE2700 controller-drive tray configurationAfter you complete this task, you can install the software and perform basic configurationtasks on your storage array. Continue with the Initial Configuration and Software Installation.

12.1 Procedure –turning on the power to the storage array andchecking for problems in a E2700 controller-drive trayconfiguration

Notice!You must turn on the power to all of the connected drive trays before you turn on the powerfor the controller- drive tray. Performing this action makes sure that the controllers recognizeeach attached drive tray.

Notice!While the power is being applied to the trays, the LEDs on the front and the rear of the trayscome on and go off intermittently.

To turn on the power to the storage array:1. Turn on both power switches on each drive tray that is attached to the controller-drive

tray. Depending on your configuration, it can take several minutes for each drive tray tocomplete the power-on process.Note: Before you proceed with the next step, check the LEDs on the drive trays to verifythat the power was successfully applied to all of the drive trays. Wait 30 seconds afterturning on the power to the drive trays before turning on the power to the controller-drivetray.

2. Turn on both Power switches on the rear of the controller-drive tray. Depending on yourconfiguration, it can take several minutes for the controller-drive tray to complete thepower-on process.

3. Check the LEDs on the front and the rear of the controller-drive tray and the attacheddrive trays.

4. If you see any amber LEDs, make a note of their location.

12.4 Things to know – service action allowed LEDsEach controller canister, power-fan canister, and battery canister has a Service action allowedLED. The Service action allowed LED lets you know when you can remove a canister safely.

Notice!Possible loss of data accessNever remove a controller canister, a power-fan canister, or a battery canister unless theappropriate Service action allowed LED is on.

If a controller canister or a power-fan canister fails and must be replaced, the Service actionrequired (fault) LED on that canister comes on to indicate that service action is required. TheService action allowed LED also comes on if it is safe to remove the canister. If dataavailability dependencies exist or other conditions that dictate a canister should not beremoved, the Service action allowed LED stays off.The Service action allowed LED automatically comes on or goes off as conditions change. Inmost cases, the Service action allowed LED comes on when the Service action required (fault)LED comes on for a canister.If the Service action required (fault) LED comes on but the Service action allowed LED is offfor a particular canister, you might need to service another canister first. Check your storagemanagement software to determine the action that you should take.When a service action is required for a controller canister, you must place that controlleroffline before removing it from the enclosure. This prerequisite ensures that the storage arraymaintains accurate expansion cabling.

12.11 Things to Know – Lock-Down Codes for the Controller-DriveTrayUse the following table to determine the diagnostic lock-down code definitions on the seven-segment display in the controller canister. In general, these diagnostics display only when thecontroller is in a non-operational state. The controller can be in a non-operation state as aresult of a configuration problem (such as mismatched controller types) or as a result of ahardware fault. If the amber controller service action required LED is on, the non-operationalstate is the result of a hardware fault.

12.13 Things to know – seven-segment display for the ESMs on thedrive traysDuring normal operation, the tray ID display on each ESM shows the drive tray ID. TheDiagnostic LED (lower-digit decimal point) comes on when the display is used for diagnosticcodes and goes off when the display is used to show the tray ID.If a power-on or reset occurs, the Diagnostic LED, the Heartbeat LED (upper-digit decimalpoint), and all seven segments of both digits come on. The Diagnostic LED remains on untilthe drive tray ID appears.
