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).

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:
VCAUTION!
●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

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:
ÊYou must electrostatically discharge yourself (e.g. by touching a grounded
object) before handling such components.
ÊAny devices or tools that are used must be free from electrostatic charge.
ÊPull out the power plug before mounting or dismounting ESD-sensitive
devices.
ÊESD-sensitive devices should only be held at the edges.
ÊDo not touch any pins, connectors or circuits on an ESD-sensitive device.
ÊWhen 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.
ÊPlace all components on a pad which is free from electrostatic charge.
IFor 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".
IAn 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
IThe 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.

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:
ÊUnpack all the components.
ÊCheck the contents of the package for any visible damage resulting from
transportation.
ÊVerify that the delivered components match those listed in the delivery note.
If you detect any damage resulting from transportation or any deviations in
the supplied contents and the delivery note, please contact your vendor
immediately!
Floorstand and stackable models
ÊMake sure that the storage subsystem is freely accessible from the front and
the back.
ÊSwitch off the storage subsystem and disconnect it from the power supply.
VCAUTION!
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.
ÊRemove the door (see section “Removing and mounting the door” on
page 8).
ÊRemove 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).

VCAUTION!
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
