1 PRIMERGY S40-DF capacity

extension

The PRIMERGY S40-DF is the active component in the PRIMERGY S40 family

of storage subsystems. The integrated disk array controller allows you to extend

storage capacity using additional externally-connected passive PRIMERGY

S40-ES storage devices. Two of these so-called “daisy-chain” configurations,

i.e., with one or three PRIMERGY S40-ES units, are supported (see also the

chapter on “Configurations” in the PRIMERGY S40-DF Operating Manual).

In order to use a configuration with three external PRIMERGY S40-ES units,

you will need the 1-channel version of the PRIMERGY S40-DF.

This manual contains conversion instructions which describe the steps required

to prepare a PRIMERGY S40-DF (3-channel version) for capacity expansion

with three PRIMERGY S40-ES subsystems.

For more assistance in understanding the details here, see also the operating

instructions for the “PRIMERGY S40-DF Storage Subsystem”. Further relevant

information can be found in the manual “Safety, Warranty and Ergonomy“ (see

section “Related publications” on page 21).

1.1 Target group

These conversion instructions are intended for those who are responsible for

installing hardware and for ensuring that the system runs smoothly (service

personnel, technicians and technical specialists).

You will therefore need to be familiar with the hardware and data transmission

concepts to understand the various activities described.

1.3 Important notes

1.3.1 Notes on safety

Please observe all the safety instructions given in the documentation of the

PRIMERGY S40-DF as well as the following notes:

VCAUTION!

●The actions described here should only be performed by technicians,

service personnel or technical specialists. Any failure to observe the

guidelines in this manual could expose the user to considerable risks

(electric shock, fire hazards) and could also damage the equipment.

Note that any unauthorized opening of the device will result in the

invalidation of the warranty and exclusion from all liability.

●Make sure that no objects (such as bracelets or paper clips) or liquids

fall into the device, as this may result in an electric shock or a short

circuit.

●Before opening the unit, switch off the device and then pull out the

power plugs.

●Note that switching off the device does not disconnect it from the

power supply. To ensure that the device is fully disconnected from the

power supply, you must pull out the power plugs.

1.3.2 ESD label

Systems and components which might be damaged by electrostatic discharge

(ESD) may be marked with the following label:

Figure 1: Label indicating ESD-sensitive devices

4 U41100-J-Z156-1-74

Important notes PRIMERGY S40-DF capacity extension

When handling ESD-sensitive devices, it is essential that you observe the

following guidelines:

ÊYou must electrostatically discharge yourself (e.g. by touching a grounded

object) before handling such components.

ÊAny devices or tools that are used must be free from electrostatic charge.

ÊPull out the power plug before mounting or dismounting ESD-sensitive

devices.

ÊESD-sensitive devices should only be held at the edges.

ÊDo not touch any pins, connectors or circuits on an ESD-sensitive device.

ÊWhen installing boards, make sure that you use an electrostatic wrist-band

or some other suitable grounding cable that connects you to the external

housing of the system unit.

ÊPlace all components on a pad which is free from electrostatic charge.

IFor detailed instructions on handling ESD-sensitive modules, please

read the German documentation “Richtlinie zur Handhabung von

elektrostatisch gefährdeten Bauelementen und Baugruppen (EGB)" or

“ITS-Rundschreiben Nr. 4/95".

IAn ESD kit can be ordered from SIEMENS sales or an authorized

distributor under the order number 8501 and stock-no. 06431046.

1.3.3 Notes on transportation

IThe storage subsystem should always be transported only in its original

packaging or in some other suitable packaging that protects it against

shock or impact.

It should only be unpacked at the deployment site.

If you need to physically lift or transport the storage subsystem, ask

someone to assist you.
