Safety Precautions

Safety Precautions

Read these instructions carefully before you install, operate, or transport the system.

 Install the rack cabinet and the associated equipment at a site where the ambient temperature stays lower than 35

°C.

 Install the power source socket outlet near the enclosure where it is easily accessible and ground the rack cabinet.

 Secure airflow clearance inside and around the rack cabinet.

- Secure at least an 18 to 20cm clearance on the rear side of the enclosure.

- Do not cover enclosure openings.

- Route the cables inside the rack cabinet.

- Do not leave the drive bays empty. Always install drive trays even if without a hard drive otherwise it will affect airflow efficiency of the enclosure.

 Secure each enclosure module using its retaining screws.

 Put the power cords and other cables away from foot traffic. Do not place items over power cords and make sure they do not rest against data cables.

 Install all modules to the enclosure before powering on the system.

 Should a module fail, leave it in its place until you have the replacement item on-hand to take its place.

 Ensure that the correct power range is being used before powering the device.

 None of the covers or replaceable modules should be removed during operation.

 If the enclosure is not used for a long time, disconnect it from mains to avoid transient over-voltage.

 For power source redundancy, please make sure that the two PSUs are plugged into two different power sources (ie. to different circuit breakers).

Compatibility Notice

The use of Infortrend certified components is strongly recommended to ensure compatibility, quality and normal operation with your Infortrend products. Please contact your distributor for a list of Infortrend certified components (eg. SFP, SFP+,

HBA card, iSCSI cable, FC cable, memory module, etc.).

Service and Maintenance

Service and Maintenance

 Keep the faulty module in place until you have a replacement unit in hand; an empty module greatly affects the efficiency of the airflow within the enclosure.

 During service operation, place the enclosure on soft and clean surface to prevent damaging its exterior. Do not place power tools or other items on top.

 When transporting the enclosure, repackage all disk drives separately in the original package foam blocks. Replaceable modules can stay in the enclosure if you are using the original package; if not, repackage them separately as well.

 Disconnect the power cords before servicing or cleaning the enclosure.

 Use a slightly moistened paper sheet or cloth for cleaning. Avoid using liquid or sprayed detergent.

 When replacing components, insert them as gently as possible while assuring full engagement. Vibration and shock can easily damage hard drives.

 Only qualified service personnel should open the enclosure.

 Contact service personnel if any of the following situations occurs:

- The power cord or plug is damaged.

- The enclosure has been exposed to moisture.

- The system has not been working properly.

- The enclosure was dropped against a hard surface.

- The enclosure shows obvious signs of breakage.

 To move the enclosure, more than one person might be necessary due to its weight. Drives should be removed from the enclosure beforehand.

ESD Precautions

ESD Precautions

 Handle the modules by their retention screws, ejector levers, or the module’s metal frame/faceplate only. Avoid touching the PCB boards or connector pins.

 Use a grounded wrist strap and an anti-static work pad to discharge static electricity when installing or operating the enclosure.

 Avoid dust, debris, carpets, plastic, vinyl, and styrofoam in your work area.

 Do not remove any module or component from its anti-static bag before installation.

 Drives must not be stacked on top of each other without their protective drive trays. Even when drives are fixed in the drive trays, contacting the exposed PCB or rear-side interface may damage the drives.

For selected models that come with 10Gbps iSCSI channel host ports. The 10Gbps host connectivity is achieved by transferring data using iSCSI ports while data signals are sent through optical cables.

The 10Gbps iSCSI channel standard allows for optical connections only. Optical cables can be used over longer distances and have been shown to be more reliable.

Due to the demands of high transfer rates, optical cables are preferred for 10Gb iSCSI connectivity. Optical cables are also less susceptible to EMI.

1.4 System Monitoring Features

There are a number of monitoring approaches that provide the operating status of individual components.

1.4.1 Monitoring

The system can monitor the following:

 PSU

 Cooling module

Cooling Module Speed Adjustment:

If temperature reading(s) exceed the temperature threshold, the firmware automatically raises the rotation speed of all cooling fans.

 Enclosure thermal sensor

 Hard drive

1.4.2 I

2

C bus

The presence detection circuitry and temperature sensors are interfaced through a non-user-serviceable I

2

C bus. When JBODs are attached to the NAS system, JBOD component statuses are reported through the in-band methodology over the expansion links that is managed by a proprietary enclosure service.

1.4.3 Audible Alarms

The system comes with audible alarms that are triggered when certain active components fail or when certain controller or system thresholds are exceeded.

Whenever you hear an audible alarm, it is imperative that you determine the cause and rectify the problem immediately.

Event notification messages indicate the completion or status of array configuration tasks and are always accompanied by two or three successive and prolonged beeps.

When sounded, please use the mute button on the front status panel to turn it off.

WARNING

Failing to respond when an audible alarm is heard can lead to permanent damage to the system. When an audible alarm is heard, rectify the problem as soon as possible.

26

EonNAS 3000 Series Hardware Manual

1.5 Hot Swapping

The system comes with a number of hot-swappable components that can be exchanged while the system is still online without affecting the operational integrity.

2.2 Installing Hard Drives

Hard drives are purchased separately (please contact your vendor for details).

WARNING

DUAL CONTROLLER REDUNDANT SYSTEMS: You MUST install at least 4 hard drives. Hard drive slots 1, 2, 3 and 4 are system dedicated drives. If removed, they

MUST be re-inserted in the exact same slots in the enclosure!

SINGLE CONTROLLER SYSTEMS: You MUST install at least 2 hard drives. Hard drive slots 1 and 2 are system dedicated drives. If removed, they MUST be re-inserted in the exact same slots in the enclosure!

2.2.1 Prerequisites

Enclosure hard drive slot sequences: Tray numbering sequence is important because if any faults occur to disk drives, you should be able to identify the location of a faulty drive. If you mistakenly remove 2 drives from a RAID5 logical drive, data will be lost.

Caching for performance with Solid State Disk (SSD): With the exception of hard drive slots 1 & 2 that are dedicated to OS hard drives, SSD(s) can be installed into all other slots (starting from slot 3) to cater for desired performances (please refer to the documents on the CD-ROM for configurations and contact your vendor for SSD purchase details). You must also purchase a SSD-dedicated tray!

SAS / SATA hard drive for storage: It is recommended to use hard drives that are of the same brand, capacity, rotation speed and same model in an enclosure. RAID arrays use a “least-common-denominator” approach meaning the maximum capacity used in each drive for comprising a logical configuration is the maximum capacity of the smallest drive. Profile: The enclosure drive trays are designed for 3.5-inch wide x 1-inch pitch hard drives.

WARNING

Make sure all enclosure tray slots are filled a hard drive tray (with or with a hard drive) as an empty tray slot may affect the airflow efficiency of the enclosure!

The hard drives should only be installed into the system AFTER the enclosure has been rack mounted as the combined weight will be too heavy to handle.

Handle hard drives with extreme care and observe all ESD prevention methods when installing drives.

Only use screws supplied with the system package. Longer screws may damage the drive.

Prior to removing the enclosure, power down your system (stop all I/O actions, please refer to Users’ manual) and all hard drives have been removed!

*

It is strongly recommended that two people work together on this procedure

1. Remove the screws on the enclosure’s ears (shown above).

2. Pull the enclosure out until it is stopped by the release latch.

3. Use both hands to support the enclosure weight and use your index finger to press and pull the release latches (indicated by the small

blue arrow

) towards you. The larger blue arrow indicates the direction the enclosure should be pulled towards.

With another person’s help, slowly pull the enclosure out of the rack.

Once Installed

Once the enclosure has been installed, you may refer to the Users Manual that came with your system for further instructions on completing the hardware installation process. The Users Manual will go on to explain details on installation / maintenance of hard drives, controllers, optional modules (Supercapacitor battery, CBM, etc.), cooling modules, power supplies, cable connections, topology configurations, etc.

Safety Reminders

If you must relocate the enclosure after installation

• Cease all input / output transactions, shutdown the system, disconnect all the cables

(please refer to the User Manual for details)

• Empty all drive bays (hard drives + hard drive trays) and transport them separately in safe packaging

• Modules came installed within the enclosure need not be removed

When the system is in operation

• Module and drive bays must not be empty! They must have a dummy cover / plate in place to stabilized internal airflow!

• Should a module fail, leave it in its place until you have the replacement item on-hand to take its place

• Allow at least 18~20cm of clearance space at the rear of the enclosure for ventilation

Avoid touching the PCB and gold-finger connections.
