Installation
Rack requirements:
HP supports the HP System E racks and the
HP 10000 Series racks for use with the virtual
library system (VLS). Other racks might also be
suitable, but have not been tested with the VLS.
Caution: Make sure that the rack and all
equipment mounted in the rack has a
reliable ground connection. Verify that the
total current of the rack components does
not exceed the current rating of the power
distribution unit or outlet receptacles.
Caution: Parts can be damaged by
electrostatic discharge. Keep parts in their
containers until needed. Ensure that you
are properly grounded when touching
static sensitive components.

Warning: The node weighs 16.78 kg
(37 lb) full. At least two people are
required to lift and rack mount the node.
Warning: To reduce the risk of personal
injury or damage to the equipment, before
installing equipment be sure that:
•The rack 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.

Select a rack location that meets the space,
airflow, temperature, power, and electrical
grounding requirements described in the
HP StorageWorks 6000 Virtual Library System
User Guide. For adequate airflow within the
rack, use appropriate high airflow inserts in
rack cabinet doors and observe industry
standard practices for adequate spacing
between racks or rows of racks.

Note: Allow enough rack space above
and/or below the node to mount the disk
array(s).
The disk arrays each require a vertical rack
space of 2U (equivalent to 89 mm, or 3.5
inches).
Do not plan to mount more than two disk
arrays above or below the node, as doing so
will prevent you from extending the node from
the rack due to SCSI cable length restrictions.
Longer SCSI cables may be substituted.
If you are installing the node into a telco rack, order
the appropriate option kit at the RackSolutions.com
website (http://www.racksolutions.com).

Cabling

Connect Fibre Channel cables from your SAN
media server to the node Fibre Channel host
ports, starting with Fibre Channel host port 0
and working towards Fibre Channel host port 3.
Leave the Fibre Channel loopback plug in any
unused Fibre Channel host port(s). This will
prevent you from receiving Fibre Channel
notification alerts, which are generated by the
VLS when no signal is detected at a Fibre
Channel host port.

Connect a standard Ethernet (CAT-5) cable
from your local IP network (LAN) to the
10/100/1000 NIC 1 (RJ-45) connector.
8
Connect the AC input socket on the power
supply(s) to an AC power source using the power
cable(s) provided.
The VLS base configuration includes only one
power supply. An optional second, redundant
power supply may be purchased.
Warning: To reduce the risk of
electric shock, fire, or damage to the
equipment, do not plug telephone or
telecommunications connectors into
RJ-45 (NIC) connectors.
Warning: To reduce the risk of electric
shock or damage to the equipment:
• Do not disable the power cord grounding
plug. The grounding plug is an important
safety feature.
• Plug the power cord into a grounded
(earthed) electrical outlet that is easily
accessible at all times.
• Unplug the power cord from the power
supply to disconnect power to the equipment.
• Do not route the power cord where it can
be walked on or pinched by items placed
against it. Pay particular attention to the plug,
electrical outlet, and the point where the cord
extends from the node.
