About the SCv360 Expansion Enclosure
An SCv360 expansion enclosure provides expansion storage for a Dell Storage Center.
The SCv360 expansion enclosure connects directly to the SAS ports on the back of the storage system.
SCv360 Expansion Enclosure Overview
The SCv360 is a 4U SAS expansion enclosure that supports up to 60 3.5‐inch 12 Gbps hard drives.
The SCv360 expansion enclosure ships with two redundant power supplies and two redundant enclosure management modules
(EMMs).
SCv360 Expansion Enclosure Front-Panel Features and Indicators
The SCv360 front panel shows the expansion enclosure status and power supply status.
Figure 1. SCv360 Front-Panel Features and Indicators
Item Name Description
1 Power LED The power LED lights when at least one power supply unit is supplying power to the
expansion enclosure.
2 Expansion enclosure
status LED
The expansion enclosure status LED indicates when the system is being identied or when
the expansion enclosure is in the fault state.
•O during normal operation.
• Blinks blue when a host server is identifying the expansion enclosure or when the
system identication button is pressed.
• Remains solid blue when the expansion enclosure is in the fault state.
About the SCv360 Expansion Enclosure 7

SCv360 Expansion Enclosure Back Panel Features and Indicators

SCv360 Expansion Enclosure Drives
Dell Enterprise Plus drives are the only drives that can be installed in SCv360 expansion enclosures. If a non-Dell Enterprise Plus
drive is installed, the Storage Center prevents the drive from being managed.
The drives in an SCv360 expansion enclosure are installed horizontally.

SCv360 Expansion Enclosure Drive Numbering
The Storage Center identies drives as XX-YY, where XX is the unit ID of the expansion enclosure that contains the drive, and YY is
the drive position inside the expansion enclosure.
An SCv360 holds up to 60 drives, which are numbered from left to right in rows starting from 0.

SCv360 Expansion Enclosure Installation
This chapter describes how to install an SCv360 expansion enclosure.
Safety Precautions
Always follow these safety precautions to avoid injury and damage to Storage Center equipment.
If equipment described in this guide is used in a manner not specied by Dell, the protection provided by the equipment could be
impaired. For your safety and protection, observe the rules described in the following sections.
NOTE: See the safety and regulatory information that shipped with each Storage Center component. Warranty
information is included as a separate document.
Installation Safety Precautions
Follow these safety precautions when installing an SCv360 expansion enclosure:
Caution
Equipment exceeds 90 kg (200 lb). Use appropriate lifting methods when installing an
SCv360 expansion enclosure.
• You can install the expansion enclosure chassis without using a mechanical lift if you remove the drives, cooling fans, power
supply units (PSUs), and enclosure management modules (EMMs) from the chassis before installing it.
You must use a mechanical lift to install the expansion enclosure chassis if you do not remove the drives, cooling fans, PSUs, and
EMMs from the chassis.
• Dell recommends that only individuals with rack-mounting experience install an SCv360 expansion enclosure in a rack.
• When installing multiple expansion enclosures in a rack, ll the rack from the bottom up and empty the rack from the top down.
• The rack construction must support the total weight of the installed expansion enclosures. The design should incorporate
stabilizing features suitable to prevent the rack from tipping or being pushed over during installation or in normal use.
• To prevent the rack from tipping, slide only one expansion enclosure out of the rack at a time.
• Make sure that the expansion enclosure is always fully grounded to prevent damage from electrostatic discharge.
• When handling the expansion enclosure components, use an electrostatic wrist guard or a similar form of protection.
Electrical Safety Precautions
Always follow electrical safety precautions to avoid injury and damage to Storage Center equipment.
WARNING: Disconnect power from the expansion enclosure when removing or installing components that are not hot-
swappable. When disconnecting power, rst power down the storage system using the storage client and then unplug
the power cords from the power supplies in the storage system and expansion enclosure.
• Provide a suitable power source with electrical overload protection. All Storage Center components must be grounded before
applying power. Make sure that a safe electrical earth connection can be made to power supply cords. Check the grounding
before applying power.
• The plugs on the power supply cords are used as the main disconnect device. Make sure that the socket outlets are located near
the equipment and are easily accessible.
SCv360 Expansion Enclosure Installation 11

• Know the locations of the equipment power switches and the room's emergency power-o switch, disconnection switch, or
electrical outlet.
• Do not work alone when working with high-voltage components.
• Use rubber mats specically designed as electrical insulators.
• Do not remove covers from the power supply unit. Disconnect the power connection before removing a power supply from the
expansion enclosure.
• Do not remove a faulty power supply unless you have a replacement model of the correct type ready for insertion.
• Unplug the expansion enclosure chassis before you move it or if you think it has become damaged in any way. When powered by
multiple AC sources, disconnect all power sources for complete isolation.
Electrostatic Discharge Precautions
Always follow electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions to avoid injury and damage to Storage Center equipment.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) is generated by two objects with dierent electrical charges coming into contact with each other. The
resulting electrical discharge can damage electronic components and printed circuit boards. Follow these guidelines to protect your
equipment from ESD:
• Dell recommends that you always use a static mat and static strap while working on components in the interior of the chassis.
• Observe all conventional ESD precautions when handling plug-in modules and components.
• Use a suitable ESD wrist or ankle strap.
• Avoid contact with backplane components and module connectors.
• Keep all components and printed circuit boards (PCBs) in their antistatic bags until ready for use.
General Safety Precautions
Always follow general safety precautions to avoid injury and damage to Storage Center equipment.
• Keep the area around the expansion enclosure chassis clean and free of clutter.
• Place any system components that have been removed away from the expansion enclosure chassis or on a table so that they are
not in the way of other people.
• While working on the expansion enclosure chassis, do not wear loose clothing such as neckties and unbuttoned shirt sleeves.
These items can come into contact with electrical circuits or be pulled into a cooling fan.
• Remove any jewelry or metal objects from your body. These items are excellent metal conductors that can create short circuits
and harm you if they come into contact with printed circuit boards or areas where power is present.
• Do not lift the expansion enclosure chassis by the handles of the power supply units (PSUs). They are not designed to hold the
weight of the entire chassis, and the chassis cover could become bent.
• Before moving the expansion enclosure chassis, remove the PSUs to minimize weight.
• Do not remove drives until you are ready to replace them.
NOTE: To ensure proper expansion enclosure cooling, hard drive blanks must be installed in any hard drive slot that is not
occupied.
