Installation

Rack requirements:

HP supports the HP System E racks and the

HP 10000 Series racks for use with the virtual

library system (VLS). Other racks might also be

suitable, but have not been tested with the VLS.

Caution: Make sure that the rack and all

equipment mounted in the rack has a

reliable ground connection. Verify that the

total current of the rack components does

not exceed the current rating of the power

distribution unit or outlet receptacles.

Caution: Parts can be damaged by

electrostatic discharge. Keep parts in their

containers until needed. Ensure that you

are properly grounded when touching

static sensitive components.

Inspect the box contents.

You will also need a Phillips screwdriver.

Warning: The node weighs 16.78 kg

(37 lb) full. At least two people are

required to lift and rack mount the node.

Warning: To reduce the risk of personal

injury or damage to the equipment, before

installing equipment be sure that:

•The rack leveling jacks are extended to

the floor.

•The full weight of the rack rests on the

leveling jacks.

•The stabilizing feet are attached to the

rack if it is a single-rack installation.

•The racks are coupled together in

multiple-rack installations.

•Only one component is extended at a

time. A rack may become unstable if

more than one component is extended

for any reason.

Select a rack location that meets the space,

airflow, temperature, power, and electrical

grounding requirements described in the

HP StorageWorks 6000 Virtual Library System

User Guide. For adequate airflow within the

rack, use appropriate high airflow inserts in

rack cabinet doors and observe industry

standard practices for adequate spacing

between racks or rows of racks.

Note: Allow enough rack space above

and/or below the node to mount the disk

array(s).

The disk arrays each require a vertical rack

space of 2U (equivalent to 89 mm, or 3.5

inches).

Do not plan to mount more than two disk

arrays above or below the node, as doing so

will prevent you from extending the node from

the rack due to SCSI cable length restrictions.

Longer SCSI cables may be substituted.

If you are installing the node into a telco rack, order

the appropriate option kit at the RackSolutions.com

website (http://www.racksolutions.com).

Cabling

1 2 3 4

Connect Fibre Channel cables from your SAN

media server to the node Fibre Channel host

ports, starting with Fibre Channel host port 0

and working towards Fibre Channel host port 3.

Leave the Fibre Channel loopback plug in any

unused Fibre Channel host port(s). This will

prevent you from receiving Fibre Channel

notification alerts, which are generated by the

VLS when no signal is detected at a Fibre

Channel host port.

1 Fibre Channel host port 0

2 Fibre Channel host port 1

3 Fibre Channel host port 2

4 Fibre Channel host port 3

5 10/100/1000 NIC 1

Connect a standard Ethernet (CAT-5) cable

from your local IP network (LAN) to the

10/100/1000 NIC 1 (RJ-45) connector.

Connect the AC input socket on the power

supply(s) to an AC power source using the power

cable(s) provided.

The VLS base configuration includes only one

power supply. An optional second, redundant

power supply may be purchased.

Warning: To reduce the risk of

electric shock, fire, or damage to the

equipment, do not plug telephone or

telecommunications connectors into

RJ-45 (NIC) connectors.

Warning: To reduce the risk of electric

shock or damage to the equipment:

• Do not disable the power cord grounding

plug. The grounding plug is an important

safety feature.

• Plug the power cord into a grounded

(earthed) electrical outlet that is easily

accessible at all times.

• Unplug the power cord from the power

supply to disconnect power to the equipment.

• Do not route the power cord where it can

be walked on or pinched by items placed

against it. Pay particular attention to the plug,

electrical outlet, and the point where the cord

extends from the node.
