Detailed steps - FAS500f

This section gives detailed step-by-step instructions for installing a FAS500f system.

Step 1: Prepare for installation

To install your FAS500f system, you need to create an account and register the system. You also need to

inventory the appropriate number and type of cables for your system and collect specific network information.

You need to have access to the NetApp Hardware Universe (HWU) for information about site requirements as

well as additional information on your configured system. You might also want to have access to the Release

Notes for your version of ONTAP for more information about this system.

What you need

You need to provide the following at your site:

•Rack space for the storage system

•Phillips #2 screwdriver

•Additional networking cables to connect your system to your network switch and laptop or console with a

Web browser

Steps

1. Unpack the contents of all boxes.

2. Record the system serial number from the controllers.

3. Set up your account:

a. Log in to your existing account or create an account.

b. Register (NetApp Product Registration) your system.

4. Download and install NetApp Downloads: Config Advisor on your laptop.

5. Inventory and make a note of the number and types of cables you received.

The following table identifies the types of cables you might receive. If you receive a cable not listed in the

table, see the NetApp Hardware Universe to locate the cable and identify its use.

1. Review the ONTAP Configuration Guide and collect the required information listed in that guide.

Step 2: Install the hardware

You need to install your system in a 4-post rack or NetApp system cabinet, as applicable.

Steps

1. Install the rail kits, as needed.

2. Install and secure your system using the instructions included with the rail kit.

You need to be aware of the safety concerns associated with the weight of the system.

3. Identify and manage cables because this system does not have a cable management device.

4. Place the bezel on the front of the system.

Step 3: Cable controllers

There is required cabling for your platform’s cluster using the two-node switchless cluster method or the cluster

interconnect network method. There is optional cabling to the Fibre Channel or iSCSI host networks or direct-

attached storage. This cabling is not exclusive; you can have cable to a host network and storage.

Required cabling: Cable controllers to a cluster

Cable the controllers to a cluster by using the two-node switchless cluster method or by using the cluster

interconnect network.

Option 1: Cable a two-node switchless cluster

The management, Fibre Channel, and data or host network ports on the controller modules are connected to

switches. The cluster interconnect ports are cabled on both controller modules.

Before you begin

Contact your network administrator for information about connecting the system to the switches.

Be sure to check the illustration arrow for the proper cable connector pull-tab orientation.

As you insert the connector, you should feel it click into place; if you do not feel it click, remove

it, turn it around and try again.

Steps

1. Use the animation (Cable a two-node switchless cluster) or the step-by-step instructions to complete the

cabling between the controllers and to the switches:

Step Perform on each controller

Cable the cluster interconnect ports to each other with the 25GbE cluster interconnect cable

•e0c to e0c

•e0d to e0d

Cable the wrench ports to the management network switches with the RJ45 cables.

DO NOT plug in the power cords at this point.

2. To complete setting up your system, see Step 4: Complete system setup and configuration.

Option 2: Cable a switched cluster

All ports on the controllers are connected to switches; cluster interconnect, management, Fibre Channel, and

data or host network switches.

Before you begin

Contact your network administrator for information about connecting the system to the switches.

Be sure to check the illustration arrow for the proper cable connector pull-tab orientation.

As you insert the connector, you should feel it click into place; if you do not feel it click, remove

it, turn it around and try again.

Steps

1. Use the animation (Cabling a switched cluster) or the step-by-step instructions to complete the cabling

between the controllers and to the switches:

Step Perform on each controller

Cable the cluster interconnect ports to the 25 GbE cluster interconnect switches.

•e0c

•e0d

Cable the wrench ports to the management network switches with the RJ45 cables.

DO NOT plug in the power cords at this point.

2. To complete setting up your system, see Step 4: Complete system setup and configuration.

Optional cabling: Cable configuration-dependent options

You have configuration-dependent optional cabling to the Fibre Channel or iSCSI host networks or direct-

attached storage. This cabling is not exclusive; you can have cabling to a host network and storage.

Option 1: Cable to a Fibre Channel host network

Fibre Channel ports on the controllers are connected to Fibre Channel host network switches.

Before you begin

Contact your network administrator for information about connecting the system to the switches.

Be sure to check the illustration arrow for the proper cable connector pull-tab orientation.

As you insert the connector, you should feel it click into place; if you do not feel it click, remove

it, turn it around and try again.

Step Perform on each controller module

1 Cable ports 2a through 2d to the FC host switches.

2 To perform other optional cabling, choose from:

•Option 2: Cable to a 25GbE data or host network

•Option 3: Cable the controllers to a single drive shelf

3 To complete setting up your system, see Step 4: Complete system setup and configuration.

Option 2: Cable to a 25GbE data or host network

25GbE ports on the controllers are connected to 25GbE data or host network switches.

Before you begin

Contact your network administrator for information about connecting the system to the switches.

Be sure to check the illustration arrow for the proper cable connector pull-tab orientation.

As you insert the connector, you should feel it click into place; if you do not feel it click, remove

it, turn it around and try again.

Step Perform on each controller module

1 Cable ports e4a through e4d to the 10GbE host network switches.

2 To perform other optional cabling, choose from:

•Option 1: Cable to a Fibre Channel host network

•Option 3: Cable the controllers to a single drive shelf

3 To complete setting up your system, see Step 4: Complete system setup and configuration.

Option 3: Cable the controllers to a single drive shelf

You must cable each controller to the NSM modules on the NS224 drive shelf.

Be sure to check the illustration arrow for the proper cable connector pull-tab orientation.

As you insert the connector, you should feel it click into place; if you do not feel it click, remove

it, turn it around and try again.
