Installing the System |
This chapter explains how to install a Sun StorEdge base cabinet and one or two optional expansion cabinets. It also explains how to initially configure a newly installed system. It includes the following sections:
Before you can begin to install the system, you need to make sure that you prepare the installation site, set up a DHCP server if you want to use dynamic IP addressing, check the contents of the ship kit, and review the installation task summary.
You must complete all of the installation preparation tasks described in the Sun StorEdge 6920 System Site Preparation Guide, including:
|
Note - If you do not have a copy of the Sun StorEdge 6920 System Site Preparation Guide, you can download it from the Sun web site, as described in Accessing Sun Documentation. |
The Sun StorEdge 6920 system supports both dynamic and static IP addressing. Dynamic IP addressing requires a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server installed at your site and configured for the Sun StorEdge 6920 system.
If you want to use dynamic IP addressing, refer to the Solaris OS system administrator guide for information about configuring DHCP. When configuring DHCP for the Sun StorEdge 6920 system, binding must be persistent, not dynamic.
As an alternative, if you do not have a DHCP server, you can assign a static IP address to the system. If you are using fixed IP addressing, obtain an IP address from your network administrator.
The Sun StorEdge 6920 system and accessory ship kit are packaged together in one shipping carton. To unpack your system:
1. Unpack the cabinet as described in the unpacking guide attached to the outside of the shipping carton.
2. Unpack the ship kit box that is attached to the side of the cabinet and check its contents (see TABLE 2-1 and FIGURE 2-1).

You must install the Sun StorEdge 6920 system in accordance with the local safety codes and regulations. This section contains additional safety information for the local facility.
1. Measure cabling distances to ensure that the supplied cable is adequate.
The grounding cable for the cabinet is 6.5 feet (~2 meters) long.
Refer to the product specifications in the Sun StorEdge 6920 System Site Preparation Guide when you are determining where to place the cabinet.
2. Move the base cabinet into position.
The base cabinet has wheels. Plan to have two or three people available to move the cabinet into position, one to push the system off the pallet and onto the ramp, and the others to offer resistance so that the cabinet does not roll. Make sure there is adequate space in front of the cabinet to ensure that it will not roll into anything. Move the cabinet slowly and make sure the floor is free of objects and cables.
3. Secure the base cabinet in position.
To minimize personnel injury in the event of a seismic occurrence, you should securely fasten the cabinet to a rigid structure extending from the floor to the ceiling or to the walls of the room in which you place the cabinet.
Install the cabinet on a level surface. There are adjustable nonskid pads at each corner of the cabinet base. Extend these pads when the cabinet is installed to prevent the unit from rolling. Do not use these pads to level the cabinet.
4. Ensure that the base cabinet has proper ventilation.
Air cools the cabinet from front to back. Air enters at the front, circulates through the system, and is expelled at both the top and back of the cabinet. Position the cabinet so as to ensure proper ventilation.
|
Caution - Do not block or cover the openings of the cabinet, and do not place it near a radiator or heat register. |
The floor-mounting brackets enable you to bolt the cabinet to the floor. If you do not install the floor-mounting brackets, then you must install the stabilizer legs. The stabilizer legs are extended to prevent the cabinet from tipping over when field-replaceable units (FRUs) are installed, removed, or serviced.
To stabilize the base cabinet, you must perform one of the following procedures:
Unless you are using the floor-mounting brackets, the four leveling pads must be lowered to the floor for the cabinet to meet the Underwriters Laboratories physical stability requirements.
The stabilizer legs help prevent the system from tipping over when field-replaceable units (FRUs) are serviced in the system. The stabilizer legs must be properly installed and set to be effective.
If you want to attach the system directly to the floor, skip to Installing the Floor-Mounting Brackets.
The leveling pads (screws) are located at each corner at the base of the cabinet (FIGURE 2-2).
1. Open the back door of the base cabinet and remove the leveling wrench from the inside of the cabinet.
The wrench is attached to the left rack rail.
2. Adjust the four leveling pads on the cabinet frame using the leveling wrench (FIGURE 2-2).
Ensure that the four pads press against the floor so that the cabinet does not move or rock in any direction.
3. Continue with the next section, "Installing the Stabilizer Legs" to help prevent the base cabinet from tipping over when field-replaceable units (FRUs) are serviced.
|
Caution - Always extend the stabilizer legs before attempting to install new FRUs or to service FRUs in the system. |
1. Use a slotted screwdriver to loosen the securing screw on the right stabilizer leg (FIGURE 2-3).
2. Insert two mounting screws to each side of the cabinet (FIGURE 2-3).
One mounting screw is already in place.
3. Slide the right stabilizer leg over the three mounting screws at the bottom of the system cabinet (FIGURE 2-4) and fully extend it.
4. Tighten the securing screw.
This prevents the stabilizer leg from falling off the mounting screws when it is extended.
5. Repeat Step 1 through Step 4 for the left stabilizer leg.
6. Use the leveling wrench to adjust the feet on both stabilizer legs so that they touch the floor (FIGURE 2-5).
7. Slide both stabilizer legs under the system cabinet.
Skip this section if you have installed the stabilizer legs and adjusted the leveling pads.
Use the four floor-mounting brackets to attach the system to the floor. The bolts to secure the floor-mounting brackets are included in the hardware kit box inside the ship kit.
|
Caution - Do not bolt the floor-mounting brackets to the deck plating of a raised (computer-room) floor, because this would result in an unstable mount. |
|
Note - If you are installing the floor-mounting brackets over previously installed threaded rods, loosely attach the floor-mounting brackets to the rods and then to the system. |
1. Remove the mounting screws from the bottom right and left sides of the cabinet (FIGURE 2-6).
2. Using a 7/16-inch ratchet wrench and the mounting screws you just removed, attach the right floor-mounting brackets to the front and back of the system (FIGURE 2-7).
Additional mounting screws, if needed, are packed in the ship kit.
3. Bolt the right floor-mounting brackets to the floor.
4. Repeat Step 1 through Step 3 for the left floor-mounting brackets.
If you purchased a Sun StorEdge 6920 system with one or two expansion cabinets, follow the instructions in the following sections to connect the expansion cabinets to the base cabinet:

When the system is connected to your local area network (LAN) through the User LAN port on the service panel, the system can be managed through a browser from any workstation on the network.
The firewall that connects to the User LAN port supports a half-duplex 10-Mbps network connection. Configure the port settings on your network switch or hub to an auto-negotiate setting. If for some reason you cannot use an auto-negotiate setting, set the network switch or hub to half duplex 10 Mbps.
To connect the system to your LAN:
1. Locate the RJ-45 cable that is connected to your local area network.
2. Connect the RJ-45 cable to the User LAN port on the back of the service panel (FIGURE 2-21).
The Sun StorEdge Remote Response service provides remote monitoring of the Sun StorEdge 6920 system. When you activate this service, the Storage Service Processor continually monitors the messages sent to the system log by the software and firmware in the system subsystems. If a message contains an alert, the system contacts the Sun Service Center.
All of the hardware and software required for using the Sun StorEdge Remote Response service is included with the system. The modem installed in the base cabinet is qualified for use in most countries (see Supported Country Listing) with no modification required.
|
Note - If remote monitoring by means of the Sun StorEdge Remote Response service is not possible, configure RAS Telemetry for this system. The type of data sent includes information such as firmware levels, WWNs, serial numbers, event logs, and system uptime. Customer data is not sent. The telemetry data gathered allows Sun to know if your system requires implementation of a field information notice (FIN), field change order (FCO), or firmware upgrade. To set up encrypted email for RAS Telemetry, refer to the instructions in Setting Site Information for Diagnostics and Monitoring to configure the Network Storage Command Center (NSCC) remote provider service. |
To set up the remote response service at your site:
1. Connect a dedicated analog telephone line with dial-out and dial-in capability. Connect the telephone line to the Phone port on the service panel of the base cabinet (FIGURE 2-22).
|
Note - To install and configure an external modem, use the procedures in Sun Storage Automated Diagnostic Environment > Service Advisor > X-Options > Adding External Modem. |
2. Gather the information you need for activating the service, using the Remote Response Service Worksheet as your guide.
3. To activate the remote service, contact your local Sun Service Center and ask for Sun StorEdge Remote Response installation activation.
4. Set up an SSRR notification provider, as described in Setting Site Information for Diagnostics and Monitoring.
If you want to connect multiple Sun StorEdge 6920 systems to share a single telephone line, you must first complete the installation and initial configuration of the first system. You can then connect additional Sun StorEdge 6920 systems, as described in Connecting Multiple Systems. If you want to connect the Sun StorEdge 6920 system to a Sun StorEdge 6320 system, contact the Sun Service Center.
At this point, you have completed the hardware installation and initial system configuration. The system is connected to the network, you have named the system, and you have set the correct date, time, and time zone.
You have also connected cables to the service panel for the Sun StorEdge Remote Response service, if applicable.
The next step is to log in to the system using a web browser and complete the initial configuration, as described in Logging In and Completing the Initial Configuration.
