Preparing
Site planning considerations
Customer facility managers and system administrators must discuss site planning, preparation, and system installation
before system delivery. A common understanding of environmental requirements and how the systems are delivered,
configured, installed, and maintained helps to create a suitable data center and aids the successful installation of the
equipment and related equipment.
It is important to plan the facility as a whole; not designed based on calculations of individual system or rack level
requirements. Too many interdependencies in a modern data center make such simple calculations unreliable. Designs and
plans must be made for the data center as a whole, including all of its equipment, with the realization that making one
change in the data center environment can aect many other physical, mechanical, and environmental aspects of the
facility.
Take into account the requirements of third-party equipment and support equipment in the room. Dense computing
locations might have high power and cooling demands that could aect power and environmental constraints. Be aware of
rack positioning and airflow patterns. Ensure that the raised floor space, cooling equipment, power supply equipment and
generators, and other support equipment meet the all equipment demands and other mission-critical equipment.
Space and airflow requirements
To enable servicing and ensure adequate airflow, observe the following spatial requirements when deciding where to
install a rack:
• Leave a minimum clearance of 635 cm (250 in) in front of the rack.
• Leave a minimum clearance of 762 cm (300 in) in back of the rack.
• Leave a minimum clearance of 1219 cm (480 in) from the back of the rack to the rear of another rack or row of racks.
• Ensure that at least 30 cm (1181 in) of open space is available to the right of the right hard drive drawer to facilitate
the installation and removal of hard drives.
The D6020 draws in cool air through the front door, and then expels warm air through the rear door. Therefore, the front
and rear rack doors must be ventilated adequately to enable ambient room air to enter the cabinet, and the rear door
must be ventilated adequately to enable the warm air to escape from the cabinet.
CAUTION: To prevent improper cooling and damage to the equipment, do not block the ventilation openings.
If a vertical space in the rack is not populated by a node (server) or rack component, the gaps between the
components cause changes in airflow through the rack and across the nodes. Cover all gaps with blanking panels to
maintain proper airflow. Using a rack without blanking panels results in improper cooling that can lead to thermal
damage.
The HPE Rack 10000 series rack provides proper node cooling from flow-through perforations in the front and rear doors
that provide a 64% open area for ventilation.
Preparing 5

CAUTION: HPE has not tested or validated the D6020 with third-party racks. If a third-party rack is used, observe
the following additional requirements to ensure adequate airflow and to prevent damage to the equipment:
• Front and rear doors—If the 42U rack includes closing front and rear doors, you must allow at least 5350 sq cm
(830 sq in) of holes evenly distributed from top to bottom to permit adequate airflow (equivalent to the
required 64 percent open area for ventilation).
• Side—The clearance between the installed rack component and the side panels of the rack must be a minimum
of 7 cm (275 in).
Temperature requirements
To ensure continued safe and reliable equipment operation, install or position the rack in a well-ventilated, climate-
controlled environment.
The maximum TMRA for most storage products is 35°C (95°F). The temperature in the cold aisle where the rack is
located must not exceed 35°C (95°F). The D6020 reports an over-temperature condition and performs an emergency
shutdown of the hard drive bays within a drawer if the temperature exceeds this limit for greater than 3 minutes. To
recover the system, AC power cycle the D6020.
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of damage to the equipment when installing third-party options:
• Do not permit optional equipment to impede airflow around the chassis or to increase the internal rack
temperature beyond the maximum allowable limits.
• Do not exceed the manufacturer’s TMRA.
Power requirements
Installation of this equipment must comply with local and regional electrical regulations governing the installation of IT
equipment by licensed electricians. This equipment is designed to operate in installations covered by NFPA 70, 1999
Edition (National Electric Code) and NFPA 75, 1992 (code for Protection of Electronic Computer/Data Processing
Equipment). For electrical power ratings on options, refer to the product rating label or the user documentation supplied
with that option.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury, fire, or damage to the equipment, do not overload the AC supply
branch circuit that provides power to the rack. Consult the electrical authority having jurisdiction over wiring and
installation requirements of your facility.
CAUTION: Protect the D6020 from power fluctuations and temporary interruptions with a regulating UPS. This
device protects the hardware from damage caused by power surges and voltage spikes and keeps the D6020 in
operation during a power failure.
While installing more than one D6020, you may need to use additional power distribution devices to safely provide power
to all devices. Observe the following guidelines:
• Balance the D6020 power load between available AC supply branch circuits.
• Do not allow the overall system AC current load to exceed 80 percent of the branch circuit AC current rating.
• Do not use common power outlet strips for this equipment.
• Provide a separate electrical circuit for each power supply in the D6020.
6Preparing

Grounding requirements
This equipment must be grounded properly for proper operation and safety. In the United States, you must install the
equipment in accordance with NFPA 70, 1999 Edition (National Electric Code), Article 250, as well as any local and
regional building codes. In Canada, you must install the equipment in accordance with Canadian Standards Association,
CSA C221, Canadian Electrical Code. In all other countries, you must install the equipment in accordance with any
regional or national electrical wiring codes, such as the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) Code 364, parts 1
through 7. Furthermore, you must be sure that all power distribution devices used in the installation, such as branch
wiring and receptacles, are listed or certified grounding-type devices.
Because of the high ground-leakage currents associated with this equipment, HPE recommends the use of a PDU that is
either permanently wired to the building’s branch circuit or includes a nondetachable cord that is wired to an industrial-
style plug. NEMA locking-style plugs or those complying with IEC 60309 are considered suitable for this purpose. Using
common power outlet strips to supply power to this equipment is not recommended.
Rack warnings
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment, be sure that:
• The leveling jacks are extended to the floor.
• The full weight of the rack rests on the leveling jacks.
• The stabilizing feet are attached to the rack if it is a single-rack installation.
• The racks are coupled together in multiple-rack installations.
• Only one component is extended at a time. A rack may become unstable if more than one component is
extended for any reason.
To reduce the risk of personal injury or equipment damage when unloading a rack:
• At least two people are needed to safely unload the rack from the pallet. An empty 42U rack can weigh as much
as 115 kg (253 lb), can stand more than 21 m (7 ft) tall, and might become unstable when being moved on its
casters.
• Never stand in front of the rack when it is rolling down the ramp from the pallet. Always handle the rack from
both sides.
Third-party racks
HPE has not tested or validated the D6020 with any third-party racks. Before installing the D6020 in a third-party rack,
be sure to properly scope the limitations of the rack.

Figure 1: Aligning the back of the chassis with the rails
WARNING: The chassis is heavy. To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment:
• Be sure that the rack is adequately stabilized before installing the chassis.
• Always use either a lift that can handle the load of the product or get at least four people to lift and stabilize
the product during assembly, installation, or removal, especially if the chassis is not installed in the rack. An
additional person may be required to help align the chassis if the chassis is installed higher than chest level.
• Observe local occupational health and safety requirements and guidelines for manual material handling.
• Hewlett Packard Enterprise recommends that you note the location of each hard drive in each drawer, and
then remove all hard drives from the hard drive drawers before moving the D6020.
CAUTION: Be sure to keep the product parallel to the floor when installing the chassis. Tilting the product up or
down could result in damage to the rails.
3. Set the chassis securely on the left and right rack rails and slide the chassis onto the rack rails toward the rack rear (2).

Disk drive installation guidelines
• For weight-distribution purposes and best-possible cooling, populate drive bays from the rear to the front, starting
with the highest device bay ID number.
• Ensure that at least 30 cm (1181 in) of open space is available on the right side of the enclosure as you are facing it.
• Verify that the drives are fully seated before closing the drawer.
• The drawer is fully closed when the fans slow down to their normal speed.
• The drawer must be closed with the handle in the released position.
• Disk drives are sensitive to excess vibration. Use care when opening and closing the drawer.
• A RAID 1 mirror requires an even number of disk drives.
• Drives that will be configured within an array must be the same capacity to provide the greatest storage space
eiciency.
14 Installing

Installing disk drives
Prerequisites
• Review Disk drive installation guidelines.
• Confirm that all drive bays are populated with either a disk drive or a drive blank to prevent improper cooling and
thermal damage. Remove a blank only when there is a drive ready to install or the D6020 is powered down.
• Confirm that the drives to be installed are supported for use in the enclosure. For more information, see the HPE
D6020 Disk Enclosure QuickSpecs:
https://h20195.www2.hpe.com/v2/getdocument.aspx?docname=c05054941
• Verify that all I/O bays contain either an I/O module or an I/O blank. The disk drive drawer does not open if I/O bays
are empty.
• Verify that the I/O modules or I/O blanks are fully seated and their handles are in the locked position. The disk drive
drawer does not open if I/O modules or I/O blanks are not fully seated with their handles in the locked position.
Procedure
1. Extend the disk drive drawer.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment:
• TIP HAZARD! Do not extend the disk drive drawers beyond the supporting surface when the unit is not
installed in a rack.
• Ensure that only one disk drive drawer is extended at a time.

WARNING: Pinch hazard—Keep hands out of the front and rear of the chassis when closing disk drive drawers.
Figure 7: Closing the disk drive drawer
Installing the I/O module
The D6020 ships with two I/O modules, one for disk drive drawer. Installing additional I/O modules expands support from
single-domain to dual-domain.
Installing 17

CAUTION:
• Be sure to check the part number and labeling of the I/O module being installed. Compatible I/O modules are
specific to designated enclosures. For example, the compatible D6020 I/O module is labeled 12G IO
module, the compatible D6000 I/O module is labeled 6G IO module, and the compatible MDS600 I/O
module is labeled 3G IO module. If the I/O module is installed in an enclosure for which it was not designed,
the module will not function properly. Read the labels on the I/O module and the enclosure to confirm
compatibility.
• For best cooling practices, do not operate the enclosure for extended periods with more than one component or
blank removed. When removing an active component, replace it with a blank.
Procedure
1. Make sure that the disk drive drawer is closed completely.
NOTE: The disk drive drawer must be closed before the I/O module or blank can be removed or installed.
2. To remove the I/O blank, release the I/O blank handle, pull the I/O blank handle down until it ejects the I/O blank, and
then remove the I/O blank from the enclosure.
Figure 8: Releasing the I/O blank handle and removing an I/O blank
3. To install the I/O module, insert the I/O module into the enclosure, and push the I/O module handle up. Be sure the I/O
module is seated fully, and the I/O module handle is in the locked position.
18 Installing

Figure 9: Installing the I/O module
4. Repeat steps 1-3 for the I/O module in the other disk drive drawer.
The I/O module installation is complete.
Cabling
I/O cabling guidelines
• Only use supported 200 m (656 ft) external mini-SAS cables.
• Always be sure that the nodes attached to the D6020 are powered down before connecting SAS cables.
• Because each D6020 disk drive drawer is managed as a separate enclosure, the drawers can be connected to dierent
nodes or switches.
• The D6020 can be deployed in the following environments:
◦Direct-connect: Connected directly to a rack-mounted or standalone node with a supported Smart Array controller
installed.
◦Switch-connect: Connected to a SAS BL Switch installed in a BladeSystem c-Class enclosure (and server blades
with a supported Smart Array controller installed).
In both environments, if one I/O module is installed in each disk drive drawer, single domain is supported. If additional,
optional I/O modules are installed, dual-domain is supported.
Installing 19

Installing mini-SAS I/O cables
The D6020 does not ship with any I/O cables but supports the use of 200 m (656 ft) mini-SAS cables. For information
about supported cables, see the QuickSpecs on the HPE website:
https://h20195.www2.hpe.com/v2/getdocument.aspx?docname=c05054941
Procedure
1. Connect a mini-SAS cable to port 1 on the primary (top) I/O module on the designated storage drawer.
2. Connect the other end of the mini-SAS cable to a port on the switch or node HBA.
3. If optional, additional I/O modules were installed, install an additional cable to port 1 of the secondary (bottom) I/O
module and to the redundant switch or node HBA port.
4. To connect the other D6020 disk drive drawer, repeat steps 1-3.
NOTE: The cable port LEDs should be linked at 12 gb/s and illuminated green after the cables are inserted. The cable
port LEDs should illuminate amber when linked at a lower speed.
Cabling the system
Cable the chassis as appropriate to your system configuration.
NOTE: The following figures are examples of supported cable diagrams. If your unit is part of a solution, refer to the cable
diagrams that shipped with your kit.
