1 PRIMERGY S40-DF capacity extension

The PRIMERGY S40-DF is the active component in the PRIMERGY S40 family of storage subsystems. The integrated disk array controller allows you to extend storage capacity using additional externally-connected passive PRIMERGY S40-ES storage devices. Two of these so-called “daisy-chain” configurations, i.e., with one or three PRIMERGY S40-ES units, are supported (see also the chapter on “Configurations” in the PRIMERGY S40-DF Operating Manual).

In order to use a configuration with three external PRIMERGY S40-ES units, you will need the 1-channel version of the PRIMERGY S40-DF.

This manual contains conversion instructions which describe the steps required to prepare a PRIMERGY S40-DF (3-channel version) for capacity expansion with three PRIMERGY S40-ES subsystems.

For more assistance in understanding the details here, see also the operating instructions for the “PRIMERGY S40-DF Storage Subsystem”. Further relevant information can be found in the manual “Safety, Warranty and Ergonomy“ (see section “Related publications” on page 21).

PRIMERGY S40-DF capacity extension Important notes

1.3 Important notes

1.3.1 Notes on safety

Please observe all the safety instructions given in the documentation of the PRIMERGY S40-DF as well as the following notes:

V CAUTION!

● The actions described here should only be performed by technicians, service personnel or technical specialists. Any failure to observe the guidelines in this manual could expose the user to considerable risks (electric shock, fire hazards) and could also damage the equipment. Note that any unauthorized opening of the device will result in the invalidation of the warranty and exclusion from all liability.

● Make sure that no objects (such as bracelets or paper clips) or liquids fall into the device, as this may result in an electric shock or a short circuit.

● Before opening the unit, switch off the device and then pull out the power plugs.

● Note that switching off the device does not disconnect it from the power supply. To ensure that the device is fully disconnected from the power supply, you must pull out the power plugs.

1.3.2 ESD label

Systems and components which might be damaged by electrostatic discharge (ESD) may be marked with the following label:

Figure 1: Label indicating ESD-sensitive devices

U41100-J-Z156-1-74 3

4 U41100-J-Z156-1-74

Important notes PRIMERGY S40-DF capacity extension

When handling ESD-sensitive devices, it is essential that you observe the following guidelines:

Ê You must electrostatically discharge yourself (e.g. by touching a grounded object) before handling such components.

Ê Any devices or tools that are used must be free from electrostatic charge.

Ê Pull out the power plug before mounting or dismounting ESD-sensitive devices.

Ê ESD-sensitive devices should only be held at the edges.

Ê Do not touch any pins, connectors or circuits on an ESD-sensitive device.

Ê When installing boards, make sure that you use an electrostatic wrist-band or some other suitable grounding cable that connects you to the external housing of the system unit.

Ê Place all components on a pad which is free from electrostatic charge.

I For detailed instructions on handling ESD-sensitive modules, please read the German documentation “Richtlinie zur Handhabung von elektrostatisch gefährdeten Bauelementen und Baugruppen (EGB)" or “ITS-Rundschreiben Nr. 4/95".

I An ESD kit can be ordered from SIEMENS sales or an authorized distributor under the order number 8501 and stock-no. 06431046.

1.3.3 Notes on transportation

I The storage subsystem should always be transported only in its original packaging or in some other suitable packaging that protects it against shock or impact. It should only be unpacked at the deployment site.

If you need to physically lift or transport the storage subsystem, ask someone to assist you.

PRIMERGY S40-DF capacity extension Converting the PRIMERGY S40-DF

1.4 Converting the PRIMERGY S40-DF

In order to install expanded storage capacity using one or three PRIMERGY S40-ES storage subsystems, you will need the corresponding conversion kit.

This conversion kit contains the following components:

– an LVD extender board (3-channel version and 1-channel version)

– an OLR/STM-LVD flat ribbon cable (3-channel version)

Proceed as follows:

Ê Unpack all the components.

Ê Check the contents of the package for any visible damage resulting from transportation.

Ê Verify that the delivered components match those listed in the delivery note.

If you detect any damage resulting from transportation or any deviations inthe supplied contents and the delivery note, please contact your vendor immediately!

Floorstand and stackable models

Ê Make sure that the storage subsystem is freely accessible from the front and the back.

Ê Switch off the storage subsystem and disconnect it from the power supply.

V CAUTION!

Note that switching off the device does not disconnect it from the power supply. To ensure that the device is fully disconnected from the power supply, you must pull out the power plugs.

Ê Remove the door (see section “Removing and mounting the door” on page 8).

Ê Remove the left side cover for the floorstand model or the top cover for the stackable model (see section “Removing and mounting the side or top cover” on page 9).

Ê Remove the protective shield for the SCSI area of the storage subsystem (see section “Removing and mounting the protective shield” on page 10).

U41100-J-Z156-1-74 5

I Note that if the PRIMERGY S40-ES is connected, the system parameters PWR ON/OFF BY BUTTON and PWR ON/OFF BY CAN must be set to DISABLE.

Ê Connect the PRIMERGY S40-DF and the three PRIMERGY S40-ES units to the power supply.

Ê Connect the PRIMERGY S40-DF to the PRIMERGY server.

Rack model

Ê Make sure that the storage subsystem is freely accessible from the front and the back.

Ê Switch off the storage subsystem and disconnect it from the power supply.

Note that switching off the device does not disconnect it from the power supply. To ensure that the device is fully disconnected from the power supply, you must pull out the power plugs.

Ê Loosen the four knurled screws and pull out the storage subsystem from the rack.

6 U41100-J-Z156-1-74


Ê Remove the rack storage subsystem from the rack.

V CAUTION!

For removing the device from the rack, ask someone to assist you.For more assistance, see the operating instructions for the “PRIMERGY S40-DF Storage Subsystem” (see section “Related publications” on page 21).

Ê Remove the protective shield for the SCSI area of the storage subsystem (see section “Removing and mounting the protective shield” on page 10).

Ê Convert the internal configuration of the storage subsystem from a 3-channel configuration to a 1-channel configuration (see section “Converting the internal configuration” on page 11).

Figure 7: Mounting the protective shield

1.4.4 Converting the internal configuration

V CAUTION!

The actions described here should only be performed by technicians, service personnel or technical specialists. Any failure to observe the guidelines in this manual could expose the user to considerable risks (electric shock, fire hazards) and could also damage the equipment. Note that any unauthorized opening of the device will result in the invalidation of the warranty and exclusion from all liability.

In order to install a capacity expansion with three PRIMERGY S40-ES units, you will need to first change the internal cabling of the PRIMERGY S40-DF from a 3-channel configuration (figure 8 on page 12) to a 1-channel configuration (figure 12 on page 16).

The same method applies to all housing models.
