NMI button (recessed, a tool is required for use)
The NIC LEDs represent a network interface controller. When network links are detected on the controllers, the LEDs are activated and remain on.
The LEDs blink when network activity occurs. The amount of network activity determines the rate of blinking.
When the NMI button is depressed, the appliance goes into a halt state, and issues a non-maskable interrupt (NMI). This feature is useful when you perform diagnostics for a given issue where a memory dump is necessary to help determine the cause of the problem. To prevent an inadvertent system halt, the NMI button is located behind the front control panel faceplate. It is only accessible with the use of a small-tipped tool.
10 System Status LED The System Status LED is bi-color indicator that uses the colors green and amber to display the current health of the compute node.
Two locations are provided for you to monitor the health of the system. You can find the first location on the front control panel. The second location is located on the back edge of the server board. It is viewable from the rear of the appliance. Both LEDs show the same state of health.

■ The rear of each rail includes four pins that insert into the inside of the rear rack post. Two screws insert into the front of the rear rack post. The screws install into the middle hole in the first and the fifth RU.
5 Record the rack positions to help you locate them easily when mounting the hardware.
Best practices for rack installation
Prepare for the hardware installation by following these recommendations.
■ The storage shelves are heavier than the compute node and should be installed as close to the bottom of the rack as possible.
■ Determine device order and cabling limits.
Pre-installation requirements
Heat dissipation guidelines
24
■
■
■
Install one set of rails. Then install the device. Do not install all of the rails at one time as you may not leave enough room for the devices.
Be aware of the depth of the rails and the devices. Ensure that the distance between cabinet posts accommodates the rails, devices, cables, extending ears, and PDU strips.
Hold a 1m SAS3 cable between the compute nodes and the Primary Storage
Shelf and between the Primary Shelf and the last Expansion Storage Shelf.
Visually confirm that the cables are long enough.
Heat dissipation guidelines
Air flows from the front of each unit and exits from the rear of each unit. You can install the optional compute node bezel without disruption to the airflow.
For best ventilation, the rack cabinet should:
■
■
Be at least 100 cm (4 feet) from walls.
Be at least 100 cm (4 feet) from other cabinets on the front and back of the compute node and the storage shelves.
Note: Data centers with two-foot spaces in the front and in the back of the compute nodes are acceptable with proper cooling and ventilation.
The following requirements ensure sufficient cooling to the devices.
■ Veritas requires that you install the devices in a National Engineering
Manufacturer's Association (NEMA)-certified or equivalent rack.
Note: The 5U84 storage shelf is as long as a standard IEC-compliant rack. Be sure that your rack cabinet and Power Distribution Units (PDUs) accommodate the length of the storage shelves.
■
■
■
■
A minimum of 3 inches (7.6 cm) of space must be between the front of a compute node and the cabinet door or other air block.
A minimum of 6 inches (15.2 cm) of space must be between the rear of a compute node and the cabinet rear or other air block.
A minimum of 1 inch (2.5 cm) of space must be between the front of a storage shelf and the cabinet door or other air block.
A minimum of 2 inches (5.0 cm) of space must be between the rear of a storage shelf and the cabinet rear or other air block.
Pre-installation requirements
Cable length verification
25
Refer to the Access 3340 Appliance Product Description for specifications about temperature and cooling.
Appliance documentation site
Cable length verification
Before you install and connect the hardware, be sure to verify that you have the correct length of cables for your setup.
Each rack unit (RU) is 44.50 mm (1.752 inches) in height. The compute node is
2RU high and the 5U84 Storage Shelves are 5RU high.
Four 1-meter SAS3 cables ship with each compute node and connect to the Primary
Storage Shelf.
Two SAS3 cables ship with each Expansion Storage Shelf. Each SAS3 cable is
1-meter (3.28 feet) long. SAS3 cables that are 2 meters (6.56 feet) long can be ordered separately. The 2-meter cable is long enough to connect the Primary
Storage Shelf to the third Expansion Storage Shelf when you use the recommended configuration.
Note: If you must have Expansion shelves in different racks be sure that the SAS3 cables are long enough. Do not stretch the cables too tightly or try to use adapters or extensions.
Prerequisites for IPMI configuration
Verify the following configuration prerequisites:
■ The remote management port auto-negotiates its link speed to 1 Gbps.
Note: If the IPMI port is connected to a managed switch port, it is recommended that you configure the switch port to auto-negotiation.
■ If a firewall exists between the appliance and the remote devices that manage an appliance (like a laptop computer), open the following ports:

Overview
This chapter describes the procedures to install two Access 3340 compute nodes, one 5U84 Primary Shelf, and up to three optional 5U84 Expansion Shelves.
Hardware installation procedures
Installing a storage shelf
28
Installing a storage shelf
You can use this installation procedure for a Primary Storage Shelf and up to three
Expansion Storage Shelves. For the systems that include one or more Expansion
Shelves, install those units first followed by the Primary Shelf. Always load hardware into a rack from the bottom to ensure personal safety and proper weight distribution of equipment.
From the inside of the front post to the inside of the rear post the rails measure
713mm to 884mm (28in to 34.8in). Be sure that your rack accommodates this distance. Allow extra space to accommodate power strips, power cords, and other cables.
Warning: A storage shelf without disk drives weighs up to 61.65kg (135.72lbs). To avoid potential equipment damage and personal injury, do not install disk drives into the storage shelves before mounting them into the rack. The added weight of the disk drives hinders the ability to safely install the storage shelves. Use the lifting straps that are provided with the shelf to remove the shelf from the shipping container. Use a mechanical lift or have three people raise the shelf into position.
The rear of the shelf is heavier than the front of the shelf.
To install the storage shelf rails
Veritas recommends that two people install the rails. One person works at the back of the rack and one person is at the front of the rack.
A magnetic Philips-head screwdriver is required to install screws into the storage shelf rails.
Hardware installation procedures
Installing a storage shelf
29
1 The storage shelf rails are extended to full length in the shipping container. It is easier to install the rails when they are at their shortest length.
2 Use the four adjuster screws on the inside of the rail to increase or decrease the rail length.
3 Identify the left and the right rails which are labeled LH (left-hand) or RH
(right-hand) on the front inside of the rail.
Note the ledge at the bottom of each rail. The storage shelf sits on the ledges which must be positioned on the inside of the rack. The ledges must not be located between the rail and the rack wall.
4 Locate the pins on the front and the rear of the rails.
