Arrange for at least three persons to carry and install an enclosure to avoid personal injury or device damage.
Before you handle devices, wear ESD clothes, wear a pair of ESD gloves or an ESD wrist strap, and remove
conductive objects such as ornaments and watches.
Do not operate devices or handle cables on a stormy day.
To avoid eye injuries, do not look into the optical outlets without eye protection.
To avoid electric shock, do not wear an ESD wrist strap during the power-on process.

NOTICE

1c Checking components
The following installation tools are required:
Phillips screwdriver (M3 to M6)
Flat-head screwdriver (M3 to M6)
Diagonal pliers
Floating nut mounting bar
A storage system power failure may cause devices connected
to the same circuit breaker to power off unexpectedly.
Therefore, ensure that the storage system power supplies
have functioning circuit breakers with the following amps:
AC power: not smaller than 10 A
1 Installation Preparations
Only materials used in the installation process are listed here. The Packing List contains all materials required by the installation. The bag
containing the Packing List is attached to the outside of the carton.

Recommended installation positions
Total required cabinet space = 2 U + 2 U x (Number of 2 U disk enclosures)
For example, if the OceanStor 5500F V5 is equipped with five 2 U disk enclosures, the space required by a cabinet
is calculated as follows:
12 U = 2 U + 2 U x 5
Note: The height of the storage system is measured by the unit of U. 1 U equals 44.45 mm (1.75 inches).
Tips
Install devices from the
bottom up and from heavy
to light (The total power of
all the devices cannot
exceed the total power of
the cabinet).

NOTE
Installing guide rails
2d
The adjustable guide rails are 600 mm (23.62 inches) to 900 mm (35.43 inches) long.
The adjustable guide rails are preconfigured with positioning pins before delivery.
Two paired adjustable guide rails must be positioned exactly parallel to one another.

Installing a controller enclosure and a disk enclosure
Install a disk enclosure onto the guide rails using the same method as installing the controller enclosure.
After the controller enclosure is installed, pull out the information plate from the controller enclosure, as
instructed in step 4 in the preceding figure. On the left part of the information plate, you can record the
device's management IP address. On the right of the information plate, you can use your cellphone to
scan the QR code to obtain more information.
2e Installing storage devices into the cabinet
To avoid device damage, do not stack any components but install them onto guide rails.
If you remove controllers and disks for easily moving and installing enclosures, record the slots of these
controllers and disks in advance. This helps you insert controllers and disks back to their correct slots later. If a
controller is inserted into a different location, a system power-on failure may occur.

2f (Optional) Installing disk modules
Installing disk modules into a 2 U disk enclosure
Install disk modules into controller enclosures in the same way.
To ensure well heat dissipation, insert disks in the sequence of disk slot IDs. If there is any vacant disk
slot, cover it with a filler panel.
NOTICE
2g (Optional) Installing filler panels
If the cabinet is equipped with filler panels, skip this procedure.

When the storage system has two or more controller enclosures configured, connect cables following
instructions in the OceanStor 5000, 5000F, 6000, and 6000F V5 Series V500R007 Installation Guide.
3b, 3c, 3d, and 3e in the following figure indicate the section numbers in this document.

3b Connecting enclosures

Connect disk enclosures according to the following rules:
SAS expansion cables must be naturally bent, and a minimum of 97 mm (3.82 inches) clearance must be
reserved in front of each enclosure for winding cables.
The number of disk enclosures connected to the expansion ports on the controller enclosure cannot exceed
the upper limit.
Connect the expansion interface module of controller A to expansion module A of a disk enclosure, and
connect the expansion interface module of controller B to expansion module B of a disk enclosure.
When connecting cables between two disk enclosures, connect the P0 port on one disk enclosure to the P1
port on the other disk enclosure. When connecting a disk enclosure to a controller enclosure, connect the
onboard expansion port or the port on the expansion interface module of the controller enclosure to the P0
port on the disk enclosure.
For a storage system with two or more disk enclosures, set up multiple loops and evenly allocate those disk
enclosures to the loops.
All disk enclosures in the same loop are connected by two independent links. To be more specific, the
forward and backward connection mode is used for optimal network reliability.
