All plug-in modules and blanking plates are part of the fire enclosure and must only be removed when they can be immediately replaced.

The system must not be run without all units in place. In order to comply with applicable safety, emission and thermal requirements no covers should be removed and all bays must be fitted with plugin modules.

Permanently unplug the unit if you think that it has become damaged in any way.

Unplug the unit before moving it.

CAUTION: A fully assembled 12big Rack Storage Server can weigh up to 32kg (71lb) or 18kg (40lb) without drives installed. Do not try to lift it by yourself.

Table 01 - Lifting Warning Label

1.2. Safety

The 12big Rack Storage Server must only be operated from a power supply input voltage range of 100 to 240 VAC, 50 to 60 Hz.

Make sure that the socket outlets are located near the equipment and are easily accessible.

This equipment is intended to operate with two working Power Supply Units (PSUs) housed in a power supply mounting cage. Before removal/replacement of a PSU, disconnect all supply power for complete isolation.

Fig. 01 - Power Supply Mounting Cage Warning Label

A faulty PSU must be replaced with a fully operational PSU within 24 hours. Refer to section

11.3. Environment .

A safe electrical earth connection must be provided to the power cord. Check the grounding of the enclosure before applying power.

IMPORTANT INFO: The removal of the enclosure top cover or the power supply mounting cage must only be performed by a service person. Potential hazards include rotating fans and hot surfaces.

The enclosure top cover must be secured when the enclosure is in normal use by rotating the lock 90° to the “locked” position (this is to prevent users/operators from accessing service areas).

LaCie 12big Rack Storage Server

User Manual

Safety Guidelines

Rotating fan blades are exposed when the enclosure top cover is removed.

Fig. 02 - Warning Label – Earthed Mains Socket

Provide a suitable power source with electrical overload protection to meet the requirements laid down in the technical specification.

Bifurcated power cords MUST NOT be used with the 12big Rack

Storage Server – they are not supported.

Hot surfaces (heatsinks) are exposed when the enclosure top cover is removed. Disconnect power and allow the enclosure to cool before working inside the system.

Fig. 04 - Fan Caution Label

When pulled out from the rack, the enclosure must not be used as a shelf to support any other object.

Fig. 03 - SAS Expander Cover Warning Label

Fig. 05 - Shelf Caution Label

CAUTION: Do not remove covers from the PSU: there is a danger of electric shock inside. Return faulty PSUs to LaCie for repair.

1.2.1. Battery Precautions

CAUTION: There is a danger of explosion if the battery is replaced by an incorrect type.

Dispose of used batteries in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions and national regulations. Equipment Handling Precautions

IMPORTANT INFO: Operation of the enclosure with ANY drive carrier modules missing will disrupt the airflow and the system will not receive sufficient cooling. It is ESSENTIAL that all apertures are filled before operating the unit. Dummy drive carrier modules must be fitted to unused drive bays.

LaCie 12big Rack Storage Server

User Manual

Safety Guidelines

page 9

The RJ45 sockets on the motherboard/PCI cards are for Ethernet connection only and must not be connected to a telecommunications network.

Drives are fragile and must be handled with care during removal/ replacement.

1.3. Rack System Safety Precautions

The rack construction must be capable of supporting the total weight of the installed enclosure(s) and the design should incorporate stabilizing features suitable to prevent the rack from tipping or being pushed over during installation or in normal use.

When loading a rack with the units, fill the rack from the bottom up and empty the rack from the top down.

Before loading the chassis into a rack, remove all PSU modules and drives to minimize weight.

CAUTION: To avoid danger of the rack toppling over, under no circumstances should more than one enclosure be drawn out of the cabinet at any one time.

The back pressure created by rack doors and obstacles must not exceed 5 pascals (0.5mm water gauge).

The rack design should take into consideration the maximum operating ambient temperature for the unit, which is 35°C.

The rack should have a safe electrical distribution system. It must provide overcurrent protection for the unit and must not be overloaded by the total number of units installed in the rack. When addressing these concerns, consider the electrical power consumption rating shown on the product.

The electrical distribution system must provide a reliable earth for each unit and for the rack.

Each Power Supply Unit has an earth leakage current of 1.4mA. The design of the electrical distribution system must take into consideration the total earth leakage current from all the power supplies in all the units. The rack requires labelling with the following: “HIGH

LEAKAGE CURRENT. Earth connection essential before connecting supply”.

When configured, the rack must meet the safety requirements of UL

60950-1:2005 (2nd edition) and IEC 60950-1 2nd edition.

2.8. Power Supply Unit

AC/DC power is provided by two commercial dual-redundant Power Supply Units.

A Power Supply Mounting Cage is fitted in the rear of the enclosure.

The cage houses two individually hot-pluggable 850W AC Power

Supply Units (PSUs), each with its own IEC inlet connector and failure indicator.

Fig. 12 - Power Supply Unit

PSU voltage operating ranges are nominally 100V to 240V AC, selected automatically. A typical PSU is shown in

Fig. 12

.

2.8.1. Multiple Power Supply Units

The 12big Rack Storage Server includes two PSUs fitted in the Power

Supply Mounting Cage, providing dual power sources for the system so that if one PSU fails the other maintains the power supply and enclosure operation is not affected while the faulty unit is replaced.

PSU replacement should only take a few minutes to perform but must be completed within 10 minutes of removing the failed PSU.

IMPORTANT INFO: Operation of the enclosure with ANY modules missing will disrupt the airflow and the system will not receive sufficient cooling. It is ESSENTIAL that all apertures are filled before operating the unit.

2.9. Cooling Fans

The cooling fans are high speed single rotor axial fans. Ten fans are housed in a cooling cage, located centrally within the enclosure, between the drive bays and the motherboard, as shown in

Fig. 07 . This

allows maximum airflow through the system and minimizes noise.

LaCie 12big Rack Storage Server

User Manual

System Overview

page 14

Fig. 13 - Cooling Fan Module

Airflow is from front to rear, with cooling air being drawn across the drives, through the fans and pressurizing the rear of the enclosure.

The pressurized rear allows the PSU to draw the air that it requires, and perforations at the rear of the chassis allow cooling airflow over the processor heatsinks, memory, motherboard and PCI cards.

Back pressure created by rack doors and obstacles is not to exceed

5 pascals (0.5mm water gauge).

The cooling system provides sufficient airflow to make sure that drive maximum temperatures are not exceeded when the enclosure is at

35°C ambient (sea level) and one fan has failed.

The cooling cage contains ten individual high speed single rotor axial fans, individually connected to and interfacing with the EM

Card. This interface provides power and speed control to the fans and returns tachometer output from each fan.

2.10. Drive Carrier Module

The drive darrier module comprises a hard disk mounted in a carrier. Each drive bay houses a single low profile 1.0 inch high, 3.5 inch form factor disk drive in its carrier. The carrier has mounting locations for SAS/SATA drives.

Each disk drive is enclosed in a sheet steel carrier which provides excellent thermal conduction, radio frequency and electro-magnetic induction protection and affords the drive physical protection.

The front cap features an ergonomic handle which provides the following functions:

✦ Camming of carrier into and out of drive bays.

✦ Positive ‘spring loading’ of the drive/backplane connector.

Fig. 14 - Drive Carrier Module

2.10.1. Drive Status Indicator

Disk drive status is monitored by green and amber LEDs mounted on the front of each drive carrier module, under GEM control (see

Fig. 15 ). Refer to section

4.4.3. Drive Carrier LEDs

for a description of the LED states.

The behavior of these LEDs can be overridden by the customer via

SES.

2.10.2. Anti-Tamper Locks

Anti-tamper locks are fitted in the drive carrier handles ( Fig. 15

) and are accessed through the small cutout in the latch section of the handle. These are provided to disable the normal ‘pinch’ latch action of the carrier handle.

Fig. 15 - Anti-tamper Lock

2.10.3. Mixed Drive Types

SAS and SATA drives may be mixed within an enclosure but drives of a similar type and rotation speed should be mounted within the same column of the enclosure.

2.10.4. Dummy Drive Carrier Modules

Dummy drive carrier modules are provided for fitting in all unused drive bays. They are designed as integral drive module front caps with handles and must be fitted to all unused drive bays to maintain a balanced airflow.

Callback

All BMC commands are allowed, including configuration settings. An Administrator can even execute configuration commands that will disable the channel that the Administrator is working on.

All BMC commands are allowed, except for configuration settings which can change the behavior of the out-of-band interfaces. For example, Operator privilege does not allow the capability to disable individual channels or change user access privileges.

Only “basic” commands are allowed. These are primarily commands that read data and retrieve status. Forbidden commands include those that can be used to alter BMC configuration, write data to the management controllers, or perform system actions such as resets, power on/off, and watchdog activation.

This is the lowest privilege level. Only commands necessary to support initiating a callback are allowed.

No access is given to this user.

No Access

User ID 1 is a user without a name or password. This user can be enabled or disabled and has a privilege level set to “User” by default.

User ID2 is the admin user with “Administrator” privileges.

User ID3 to User ID5 are configurable. By default they are disabled.

6.1. AMI BIOS Setup Program

All relevant information for operating the board and connected peripherals are stored in the CMOS memory backed-up by a battery or in the main BIOS flash and EEPROM.

6.1.1. Accessing the BIOS Setup Utility

The system BIOS (Basic Input Output System) provides an interface between the operating system and the hardware of the 12big Storage Server ATX board. It uses the AMI Setup program, a setup utility in flash memory that is accessed by pressing the <DEL> (or <F4> from a console redirection terminal) key at the appropriate time during system boot. This utility is used to set configuration data in

CMOS RAM.

To run the AMI Setup program incorporated in the ROM BIOS:

✦ Turn on or reboot the system.

✦ When you get the following messages, hit <DEL> key to enter

SETUP.

Setup Default values provide optimum performance settings for all devices and system features.

NOTE: The CMOS setup options described in this section are based on BIOS Version 1.02. The options and default settings may change in a new BIOS release.

IMPORTANT INFO: These parameters have been provided to give control over the system. However, the values for these options should be changed only if the user has a full understanding of the timing relationships involved.

NOTE: Options in Bold are the default settings.

The main menu of the AMI BIOS CMOS Setup Utility appears on the screen.

7. Troubleshooting and Problem Solving

7.1. Overview

The 12big Rack Storage Server includes an Enclosure Services Processor and associated monitoring and control logic to enable it to diagnose problems within the EM Card, Ops Panel, CPU(s) and

DIMM(s).

The sensors for power and cooling conditions are housed within the power supples and cooling fans. There is independent monitoring for each unit.

7.1.1. Continuous Operation During

Replacement

If a disk unit fails, it can normally be replaced without interrupting the use of the system.

If an enclosure contains two Power Supply Units, either of them can maintain power to the subsystem while the other is replaced.

7.1.2. Replacing Modules

Make sure that you have obtained a replacement module of the same type before removing any faulty module. Refer to Chapter 8 for instructions on how to replace modules.

CAUTION: If the 12big Rack Storage Server is powered up and you remove any module, its replacement must be inserted immediately.

If the subsystem is used with modules or module blanks missing for more than a few minutes, the enclosure can overheat, causing power failure and data loss. Such use will invalidate the warranty.

✦ Replace a faulty drive with a drive of the same type and equal or greater capacity.

✦ All drive bays must be fitted with a drive carrier module in order to maintain a balanced air flow.

✦ All the supplied plug-in power supply units, electronics modules and blank modules must be in place for the air to flow correctly around the cabinet.

CAUTION: Observe all conventional ESD precautions when handling 12big Rack Storage Server modules and components. Avoid contact with backplane components and module connectors, etc.

IMPORTANT INFO: The top cover of the enclosure covers a service area which should be accessed by service personnel only. When the cover is replaced it MUST be secured by turning the lock mechanism to the “locked” position.

7.2. Start-Up Problems

7.2.1. Faulty Power Cords

1. Make sure that the power source to the enclosure is switched on.

2. Check that all power cords are inserted into PSUs. The PSU

LEDs (see

4.4.2. Power Supply Unit LEDs ) should flash green

when an active power cord is inserted (or be constant green if the enclosure has been powered on).

Contact LaCie if any of the following are true:

✦ Cords are missing or damaged.

✦ Plugs are incorrect.

✦ Cords are too short.

7.2.2. Alarm Sounds On Power Up

Refer to Section 7.3. Audible Alarm

.

7.2.3. The Motherboard Doesn’t Recognize the Drives

1. Check that the LEDs on all installed drive carrier modules are illuminated (amber). Note that the drive LEDs will not be lit during drive spinup.

2. Check that all drive carrier modules have been correctly installed.

3. Check the SAS interconnect cables between the HBA and the

EM Card.

7.3. Audible Alarm

The chassis audible alarm will sound if the enclosure requires attention. It can be muted by pressing the ID LED button on the Ops

Panel (see section

4.4.1. Ops Panel LEDs and Switches ) and can be

reinstated through the firmware.

LaCie 12big Rack Storage Server

7.4. LED/Audible Alarm Interpretation

The following tables summarize the various states of the LEDs and audible alarm and their meaning. Some states are duplicated in this section to make it easier to search for the cause of a problem.

NOTE: No audible alarm will sound if the enclosure has been muted.

The audible alarm states in the following tables are defined as:

✦ Intermittent beep – A 0.5 second beep every 32 seconds.

✦ Short beep – A 0.5 second beep every 8 seconds.

✦ Long beep – A 1.5 second beep every 2 seconds.

✦ Constant – The audible alarm is on constantly.

The LED states in the following tables are defined as:

✦ Slow blink – The LED is on for 0.5 seconds in every 4 seconds.

✦ Fast blink – The LED is on for 0.5 seconds in every 1 second.

✦ Constant – The LED is on constantly (no blinking).

10. Upgrading the Firmware

10.1. Important Notes

Upgrading the firmware consists of two steps, to be performed in this order:

✦ Upgrading the x86 subsystem.

✦ Upgrading the GEM subsystem.

NOTE: It is important to note that the x86 subsystem upgrade process outlined in this chapter will not work unless the x86 subsystem firmware has first been upgraded using the update CD in the GEM

USM 1.0 (i.e. BR2) package. This is because the system will not have

HPM upgrade capability prior to application of the USM 1.0/BR2 x86 motherboard update.

NOTE: Upgrades must be performed from the previous GEM USM release package. If an upgrade is required from an earlier GEM package, please contact your FAE who will provide you an assessment of whether a direct transition can be made, or whether intermediate upgrades will also be required.

10.2. 12big Rack Storage Server x86

Upgrade Procedure

NOTE: It is assumed that the native OS running on the 12big Storage Server is a Linux variant. If an alternative OS is used, such as a variant of MS Windows, a port of the optimized version of IPMITool described in section

10.2.2. Optimized IPMITool

is required. At this stage Xyratex is unable to provide ports for alternative OSs.

NOTE: To improve IPMI performance during the upgrade, it is recommended that all user IPMI daemons are suspended.

This procedure will upgrade the BIOS / FPGA and BMC firmware.

1. Acquire the optimized version of IPMITool indicated by section

10.2.2. Optimized IPMITool

.

NOTE: The use of any other version of IPMITool will result in an exceptionally long update duration (in the order of 2 hours as opposed to approximately 20 minutes with the optimized tool).

2. Run the following command at the Linux prompt from the x86

OS: ipmitool -z 250 hpm upgrade 0956373-XX_Butser2_Motherboard_XX.hpm all activate where the ‘XX’ symbols represent version numbers.

Once the update process has completed, there will be an automatic reboot of the x86 processor to activate the updates.

3. Once the x86 has rebooted, run the following command: ipmitool hpm check

4. Verify that the active firmware component versions match those in the release notes.

10.2.1. Upgrade Files

The upgrade files specified in this section can be found in the motherboard sub-folder in this package, which contains a file of the form:

0956373-XX_Butser2_Motherboard_XX.hpm – HPM upgrade file containing BIOS, FPGA and BMC updates.

10.2.2. Optimized IPMITool

An optimized version of IPMITool v1.8.11 is required to update the

BIOS, FPGA and BMC firmware.

This optimized variant has only been tested on SUSE Linux Enterprise

Server 11 – 64 bit, but it should build and run correctly on all Linux variants normally supported by IPMITool, as long as the Open IPMI drivers and libraries are installed.

This optimized version is available from the IPMITool CVS code repository. It is currently recommended to download the latest code, create a patch against v1.8.11 (as detailed below), and distribute this patch throughout your company.

LaCie will provide notifications for any future enhancements to IP-

MITool that are required by the 12big Storage Server; a request has been made to the IPMITool project administrators to allow the correct file revisions to be extracted via tags in the future.

1. Download IPMITool v1.8.11 using wget: wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/ project/ipmitool/ipmitool/1.8.11/ipmitool-1.8.11.tar.gz?use_mirror=cdnetworksus-1

2. Decompress the IPMITool archive:

LaCie 12big Rack Storage Server

User Manual

Upgrading the Firmware

page 67

tar zxvf ipmitool-1.8.11.tar.gz

3. Get the latest development version of IPMITool from the CVS sourceforge server: cvs -d:pserver:[email protected].

sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/ipmitool login cvs -z3 -d:pserver:[email protected].

sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/ipmitool export -r HEAD ipmitool

4. Create patch file: diff -Nur ipmitool-1.8.11 ipmitool > ipmitool.patch

5. Apply the patch: patch -Np1 -d ipmitool-1.8.11 < ipmitool.

patch

6. If the Bootstrap file is not executable, make it executable: chmod u+x Bootstrap

7. Build the patched IPMITool:

Bootstrap

Configure

Make

(make install)

8. If LAN encryption is required, the OpenSSL development package may need to be installed and the OpenSSL include directory

(e.g. /usr/include/openssl ) added to the include path.

13.4. DIM Code Checkpoints

The Device Initialization Manager (DIM) gets control at various times during BIOS POST to initialize different system busses.

Table 84 de-

scribes the main checkpoints where the DIM module is accessed.

These codes are shown on the motherboard LEDs as described in section

13.1. Introduction .

Table 84 - DIM Checkpoints

Checkpoint Description

2A Initialize different buses and perform the following functions: Reset, Detect, and Disable

(function 0); Static Device Initialization (function 1); Boot Output Device Initialization (function 2). Function 0 disables all device nodes,

PCI devices, and PnP ISA cards. It also assigns

PCI bus numbers. Function 1 initializes all static devices that include manual configured onboard peripherals, memory and I/O decode windows in PCI-PCI bridges, and non-compliant PCI devices. Static resources are also reserved. Function 2 searches for and initializes any PnP, PCI, or AGP video devices.

38

DD-DE

Initialize different buses and perform the following functions: Boot Input Device Initialization

(function 3); IPL Device Initialization (function

4); General Device Initialization (function 5).

Function 3 searches for and configures PCI input devices and detects if system has standard keyboard controller. Function 4 searches for and configures all PnP and PCI boot devices.

Function 5 configures all onboard peripherals that are set to an automatic configuration and configures all remaining PnP and PCI devices.

OEM PCI init debug POST code during DIMM init. DEh during bus number assignment and

DDh during resource allocation. The high byte is the bus number.

While control is in the different functions, additional checkpoints are output to port 80h as a word value to identify the routines under execution. The low byte value indicates the main POST Code

Checkpoint. The high byte is divided into two nibbles and contains two fields. The details of the high byte of these checkpoints are as follows:

The upper nibble ‘X’ indicates the function number that is being executed. The value of ‘X’ can be from 0 to 7, as shown in

Table 85
