Safety Information

Do not operate devices or handle cables on a stormy day.

To avoid eye injuries, do not look into the optical outlets without eye protection.

Arrange for at least three persons to carry and install a fully configured enclosure to avoidpersonal injury or device damage.

Do not wear an ESD wrist strap during power-on to avoid electric shocks.

1 Installation Preparations

The following installation tools are required:

Phillips screwdriver (M3 to M6)

Flat-head screwdriver (M3 to M6)

Diagonal pliers

Floating nut mounting bar

A storage system power failure may cause devices

connected to the same circuit breaker to power off

unexpectedly. Therefore, ensure that the storage systempower supplies have functioning circuit breakers with the

following amps:

AC power: 16 A

DC power: 32 A

For information about the full list of required components, see the Packing List. The bag containing the

Packing Listis attached to the surface of the box.

Recommended installation positions

2a Planning device installation posi tions

Total required cabinet space = 4 U + 2 U x (Number of 2 U disk enclosures) + 4 U x (Number of 4 U disk

enclosures)

Note: The height of the storage system is measured by the unit of U. 1 U equals 44.5 mm (1.75 inches).

Tips

Install the controller

enclosure in the middle of an

empty 42 U cabinet, namely

between the 17 U mark and

the 22 U mark.

Be certain to next install

other devices below the

controller to prevent the

cabinet from becoming

top heavy.

The adjustable guide rails are 600 mm (23.62 in.) to 900 mm (35.43 in.) long. They are designed to fit into

cabinets with depth ranging from 800 mm (31.50 in.) to 1100 mm (43.34 in.).

The adjustable guide rails are preconfigured with positioning pins applicable to square holes only. For

round holes, replace the positioning pins.

Two paired adjustable guide rails must be positioned exactly parallel to one another.

2e Installing the controller enclosure and disk enclosures into the cabinet

To avoid device damage, do not stack any components but install them onto guide rails.

Install a disk enclosure onto the adjustable guide rails using the same method as installing the

controller enclosure.

Installing the cable tray

NOTE

For a cabinet of 1 m (39.4 inches) deep or deeper, if the controller enclosure rear is more than 70 mm (2.758

inches) away from the rear columns or if the rear columns are more than 150 mm (5.91 inches) away from

the rear cabinet door, the cable tray must be installed on the rear columns of the cabinet.

For a cabinet of 1 m (39.4 inches) deep or deeper, if the controller enclosure rear is 70 mm (2.758 inches) orless away from the rear columns or if the rear columns are 150 mm (5.91 inches) or less away from the rear

cabinet door, the cable tray must be installed on the controller enclosure.

For a cabinet of 800 mm (31.50 inches) deep, the cable tray must be installed on the controller enclosure.

Port P0 on controller A (B) must be connected to port PRI on expansion module A (B) on the configuration

disk enclosure (the one with coffer disks).

All the EXP ports on the storage system connect only to the PRI ports. For a storage system with two or more disk enclosures, set up multiple loops based on the number of

expansion ports on the controller enclosure, and evenly allocate those disk enclosures to the loops. Connect disk enclosures except the configuration disk enclosure in one loop over two separate links for

optimal network reliability.

4 Checking Hardware Installation

Check Item Normal Abnormal

Controller enclosure The device sits stably on the guide

rails without displacement.

Screws are properly secured.

The device slants or cannot be detected.

Screws are loose or have fallen off.Disk enclosure

The power-on process takes three to five minutes. The system is completely powered on until the power

indicator of controller enclosure does not blink continually.

To avoid electric shocks, do not wear an ESD wrist strap when the storage system is powering on.

Do not adjust mini SAS cable connections between enclosures after power-on. Otherwise the storage

system may become abnormal.

5 Powering On the Storage System

Follow the correct power-on sequence of the storage system: switch on external power supplies press

the power button on either controller module switch on the Ethernet or Fibre Channel switch switch

on the application servers.

Follow the correct power-off sequence of the storage system: stop host services press and hold the

power button on either controller module until the system is completely powered off (five seconds)

disconnect the controller enclosure and the disk enclosures from their power supplies.

the OceanStor S5600T&S5800T&S6800T Storage System V100R005 Installation Guide.

2. UltraPath, a multipathing program. For details about installing the UltraPath, refer to the OceanStor

UltraPath for Windows User Guide, OceanStor UltraPath for Linux User Guide, or OceanStor UltraPath for

AIX User Guide.

3. UltraAPM, another optional program. For details about installing the UltraAPM, refer to the OceanStor

UltraAPM User Guide.

Obtain the documentation for the UltraAPM and UltraPath from the delivery-attached CD-ROM.

7 (Optional) Installing Host Software

Contacting Huawei Technical Support

For details about initializing the storage system, refer to the OceanStor S5600T&S5800T&S6800T

Storage System V100R005 Installation Guide.

The default user name and password of the storage system are adminandAdmin@storage

respectively. You are advised to change the default login password immediately after you have logged in to

the storage system for the first time and periodically change your login password in the future.

This reduces the password leakage risks.

6 Initializing the Storage System

After you have powered on the storage system, complete the following initialization steps:

1. Change the IP address of the management network port using the command-line interface (CLI). Before

doing this, connect the serial port on the controller enclosure to the maintenance terminal.

2. Install the ISM on the maintenance terminal.

3. On the ISM, follow the Initial Configuration wizard to change the administrator's password, configure ratefor Fibre Channel host ports, configure IP addresses and route information for iSCSI host ports, and

import license files. If you do not perform the initial configuration as prompted, follow-up configuration

and use of services will be affected.
