About your system
The Dell SD7000-S — Storage Designed for Scality RING is a 4U 90 hard drive, ultra-dense storage
appliance purpose built for use with RING™software from Scality. The system consists of the Dell
SD7000-S, which is the chassis and two server sleds.
The Dell SD7000-S storage appliance benefits from all the features of the Intel Xeon EP E5-2600v3
product family as well as an extremely dense and energy efficient shared infrastructure chassis. The
combination of Intel enhancements with the E5-2600v3 processors and the Dell SD7000-S ultra-dense
chassis provides performance, efficiency, and flexibility in one dense package. It supports complete
lifecycle management with the Dell™ OpenManage™ portfolio of systems management solutions,
including leading remote management with iDRAC8 with Lifecycle Controller.
The storage server is shipped from Dell. The Scality RING™software will be loaded and configured at the
customer site by Scality or a Scality certified partner.
Key features:
• Ultra density: Up to 45 3.5-inch hot-swappable hard drives and two independent server sleds in a 4U
form factor.
– A selection of high performance E5-2600v3 series processors up to 135 W Thermal Design Power
(TDP).
• Systems management with support for iDRAC8 Edition.
• Redundant hot-plug power supply for added reliability.
• Serviceable nodes that give the ability to service one node while the other is running. Both nodes
work independently and control a maximum of 45 HDDs. Shutting down one node for service does
not impact the other node.
– Each sled has two boot drives and four PCIe Gen 3 slots.
• Up to 384 GB of memory with 12 DDR4 slots (32 GB DIMMs) per server node.

Convention Status Condition
A Link and activity indicators are off The NIC is not connected to the
network.
B Link indicator is green The NIC is connected to a valid network
at its maximum port speed (1 Gbps or 10
Gbps).
C Link indicator is amber The NIC is connected to a valid network
at less than its maximum port speed.
D Activity indicator is flashing green Network data is being sent or received.
Power supply unit indicator codes
AC power supply units (PSUs) have an illuminated translucent handle that serves as an indicator and DC
PSUs have an LED that serves as an indicator. The indicator shows whether power is present or a power
fault has occurred.

pattern Condition
A Green A valid power source is connected to the PSU and the PSU is
operational.
B Flashing green When the firmware of the PSU is being updated, the PSU handle
flashes green.
C Flashing green
and turns off
When hot-adding a PSU, the PSU handle flashes green five times at
4 Hz rate and turns off. This indicates a PSU mismatch with respect
to efficiency, feature set, health status, and supported voltage.
NOTE: Ensure that both the PSUs are of the same capacity.
CAUTION: For AC PSUs, use only PSUs with the Extended
Power Performance (EPP) label on the back.
NOTE: Mixing PSUs from previous generations of Dell
PowerEdge servers can result in a PSU mismatch condition or
failure to turn the system on.
D Flashing amber Indicates a problem with the PSU.
14

Convention Power indicator
pattern Condition
CAUTION: When correcting a PSU mismatch, replace only the
PSU with the flashing indicator. Swapping the PSU to make a
matched pair can result in an error condition and unexpected
system shutdown. To change from a high output
configuration to a low output configuration or vice versa, you
must power down the system.
CAUTION: AC PSUs support both 220 V and 110 V input
voltages with the exception of Titanium PSUs, which support
only 220 V. When two identical PSUs receive different input
voltages, they can output different wattages, and trigger a
mismatch.
CAUTION: If two PSUs are used, they must be of the same type
and have the same maximum output power.
CAUTION: Combining AC and DC PSUs is not supported and
triggers a mismatch.
E Not lit Power is not connected.
