Use the procedures in this chapter to install trays in a cabinet. The number of trays you need to install depends on your overall storage requirements. You can install a maximum of seven trays, one controller tray and up to six expansion trays, for each array.
This chapter describes the process of installing the Sun StorageTek 6140 array. It contains the following sections:
The installation procedures in this chapter require the following items:
 |
Caution - On both the controller and expansion trays, the rear of the chassis has very sharp edges. |
Use the following procedures to prepare for installation:
Use the universal rail kit to mount the Sun StorageTek 6140 array trays in any of the following cabinets:
Unpack the universal rail kit and check the contents.
The universal rail kit (part number 594-2489-02) contains the following items:
| Note - Typically, the main and extender pieces of both the left and right rails are shipped pre-assembled. |
The mounting hardware required for each rack or cabinet type is listed in the following table:
*For cabinet installations with M5 or 12-24 threaded cabinet rails, the following screws are not supplied. You must acquire these to match the threading requirements of your cabinet rails:
**For cabinet installations with unthreaded cabinet rails, the following hardware is not supplied. You must acquire these to match the requirements of your cabinet rails:
To loosen the adjustment screws on the left and right rails:
Using the #2 Phillips screwdriver, loosen the four rail adjustment screws on each rail to allow adjustment of each rail length (FIGURE 2-1).
FIGURE 2-1 Loosening the Rail Screws to Adjust
the Rail Length
| Note - The rails are preconfigured to adjust to cabinet rail depths of between 26.18 inches (664.97 mm) and 28.93 inches (734.82 mm). For cabinet rail depths outside of this range, remove and reposition the four rail adjustment screws (FIGURE 2-1) to support your required rail length. |
| |
Caution - Two people are needed to lift and move the tray. Use care to avoid injury. A tray can weigh up to 95 pounds (43 kg). Do not lift the front of the tray; this can cause damage to the drives. |
2. Check the contents of the box for the following items:
AC power cords are shipped separately for each tray.
Select the cabinet in which you will be installing the array. Be sure the cabinet is installed as described in the installation instructions provided with it.
1. Stabilize the cabinet as described in the cabinet documentation.
2. If the cabinet has casters, make sure the casters are locked to prevent the cabinet from rolling.
3. Remove or open the top front panel.
4. Remove or open the vented back panel.
Install the trays starting with the controller tray at the lowest available 3RU tray slot in the cabinet. Next, install the expansion trays for the first controller tray. If room remains in the cabinet, repeat for the next controller and expansion trays.
Starting at the bottom distributes the weight correctly in the cabinet.
Depending on the type of cabinet in which you will install the tray, use one of the following procedures to attach the rails:
This procedure describes the steps to attach the universal rail kit to:
To attach the universal rail kit to a cabinet with M5 or 12-24 threaded cabinet rails:

Use the procedures in this chapter to install trays in a standard Telco rack. (You can use the existing universal rack kit and procedures to install the Sun StorageTek 6140 array in a four-post Telco rack.) The number of trays you need to install depends on your overall storage requirements. You can install a maximum of eight, one controller tray and up to seven expansion trays, in a third-party Telco rack.
This chapter describes the process of installing Sun StorEdge 6140 trays. It contains the following sections:
The installation procedures in this chapter require the following items:
Install the rack as described in the installation instructions provided by the manufacturer.
Populating a rack with trays starting from the bottom and moving up distributes the weight correctly in the cabinet.
This procedure describes how to attach the rackmount rail kit to a Telco 2-post frame. You can use rack rails with a depth of 3-to-6 inches.
You will mount each tray with its horizontal center aligned with the frame of the Telco 2-post rack.
1. Loosely adjust the rail length to accommodate the length of the array.
1. Insert four (12-24 or 10-32) screws (one in each post side) in the front and back mounting holes of the right and left posts (FIGURE 2-17). Do not tighten at this time.
Use the lowest available mounting hole at the bottom of each post that can be aligned with the top mount slot on the rail. The mount slot allows the rail to hang over the screw. Make sure that all four screws are aligned and mounted at the same height.

3. Connect the primary power cables from the cabinet to the external power source.
| Note - Do not power on the array until you complete the procedures in this chapter. The power-on sequence is described in detail in Chapter 4. |
This section describes how to cable a controller tray to expansion trays for several different configurations. The controller tray uses Controller A and Controller B expansion ports to connect to FC-AL ports at the back of each expansion tray (FIGURE 2-31).
FIGURE 2-31 Expansion Ports on the Controller and Expansion Trays
.
The configuration naming convention is “controllers x trays” where the first number is the controller tray and the second is the sum of the controller tray and the number of expansion trays. wFor example, 1x1 is a standalone controller tray, 1x2 is the controller tray and one expansion tray, and 1x7 is the controller tray and 6 expansion trays (TABLE 2-1).
Use the following instructions to connect the dual-RAID controller tray to one or more expansion trays.
Each controller in the Sun StorageTek 6140 Array has two expansion channels. For optimal reliability, availability, and serviceability, installation of expansion trays should be divided evenly between the two expansion channels.
If there are an uneven number of expansion trays, such as in a 1x4 and 1x6 array configuration, cable the extra expansion tray in the expansion channels of the two lowest expansion trays in the cabinet. This allows for easier addition of an expansion tray in the future.
A 1x2 array configuration consists of one controller tray and one expansion tray. Two 2-meter optical FC cables are required.
