Preparations for Installation
1 Verifying Installation Tools 2 Verifying Circuit Breakers
3 Verifying Materials
The installation tools needed to
prepare include:
Phillips screwdriver (M3-M6)
Flat-head screwdriver (M3-M6)
Diagonal pliers
Floating nut mounting bar
To prevent other devices connected to the circuit breakers from being
incorrectly powered off due to a power supply failure of the storage
device, you are advised to ensure that the electric current of the circuit
breakers of the external power supplies to which the storage device is
connected complies with the following specifications:
Controller enclosure (2 U) Adjustable guide rails
Front panel (2 U)
Multi-mode optical fiber
Network cable
The above table only includes part of the materials to be used during the installation. For information about all the
materials, see the Packing List.

Installing Devices
1 Planning Device Installation Positions
2 Removing Filler Panels
3 Determining Device Installation Positions with Installation Templates
Before the planning, you need to calculate the required cabinet space, as listed in the following table.
Installation position of a 2 U device (shown as the shade)
Installation Item Controller enclosure Disk enclosure
Required Space 2 U 2 U (for the 2U SAS disk enclosure)
Remarks: The total of the required cabinet space can be calculated through the following formula:
2 U + 2 U x (number of 2 U disk enclosures)
Figure 1 Figure 2
If the planned device installation positions
are occupied by filler panels, remove
them in the method shown in Figure 1.
After removing the filler panels, remove
floating nuts in the method shown in
Figure 2.
If the floating nut mounting bar is
unavailable, you can use a flat-head
screwdriver instead. When using a flat-head
screwdriver to install the floating nuts,
handle it gently; otherwise, the flat-head
screwdriver may skid and cause injuries.
Based on the calculated cabinet space, you can plan the installation positions of the devices for the convenience
of the installation and expansion.

4 Installing Adjustable Guide Rails
5 Installing the Controller Enclosure
Installing adjustable guide rails for a 2 U device
The length of the adjustable guide rail ranges from 600 mm (23.64 inches) to 900 mm (35.46 inches),
and it can be installed in the cabinet with a depth from 800 mm (31.50 inches) to 1100 mm (43.34
inches).
The adjustable guide rails are initially equipped with positioning pins applicable to square installation
holes only. For round installation holes, replace the positioning pins.
After the left adjustable guide rail is installed, install the right adjustable guide rail in the same method.
To avoid device damage, do not directly
pile up the devices but install the devices
onto the guide rails.
6 Installing the Disk Enclosure
Install the disk enclosure onto the adjustable guide rails in the method of installing the controller enclosure.

5
7 Installing Floating Nuts
To ensure good ventilation, it is recommended to cover the unoccupied slots with filler panels. Before
installing the filler panels, check that required floating nuts are installed at the installation holes of the
M6 fixing screws.
8 Installing Filler Panels
If you do not have a floating nut mounting bar, you can use a flat-head screwdriver instead. When
using a flat-head screwdriver to install the floating nuts, handle it gently; otherwise, the flat-head
screwdriver may skid, and injure the hands or storage devices.

Connecting Cables
1 General View of Cable Connecting Ports
2 Connecting Ground Cables
The figure below shows the general view of cable connecting ports (using the AC controller enclosure
configured with 10 Gb TOE host ports as an example).
After connecting one end of the ground cable to the ground terminal of the storage device, connect the
other end of the ground cable to the ground terminal of the cabinet in the same method.

3 Connecting Disk Enclosures to the Controller Enclosure
All EXP expansion ports on the storage devices only connect to the PRI expansion ports.
The expansion ports on controller A must connect to the PRI expansion ports on expansion module
A of the disk enclosure; the expansion ports on controller B must connect to the PRI expansion ports
on expansion module B of the disk enclosure.
Each 6 Gb SAS expansion port on the controller enclosure can be connected to a maximum of three
disk enclosures, each of which supports up to 25 disks.
The bend radius of the mini SAS cable should be larger than 150 mm (5.91 inches).
If the controller enclosure is connected to one or two disk enclosures: Expansion module on
controller A must connect to expansion module A on each disk enclosure. Expansion module on
controller B must connect to expansion module B on each disk enclosure.
If the controller enclosure is connected to three disk enclosures: The third disk enclosure is directly
connected to the first or second disk enclosure.

4 Connecting the Storage System to a Network
5 Connecting the Serial Port to the Maintenance Terminal
The controller enclosure is connected to the application server through FC host ports (8 Gbit/s), TOE
host ports (10 Gbit/s), or IB host ports (40 Gbit/s).
A management channel can be set up by connecting the management network port on the controller
enclosure to the network port on the maintenance terminal using a network cable so that the
maintenance terminal can manage and maintain the storage device.
For details about each port and the cable connected to it, see the OceanStor Dorado2100 G2 Storage
System Installation Guide.
After connecting the serial port to the maintenance terminal using a serial cable, you can manage
and maintain the storage system through the serial port.
Normally, the serial cable is an RJ-45 to DB-9 serial cable.
For details on how to connect a serial port, see the OceanStor Dorado2100 G2 Storage System Installation
Guide.

When connecting the DC power cables, ensure that the black cable leading from the anode of the DC
power source connects to the RTN (+) terminal and that the blue cable leading from the cathode of the DC
power source connects to the NEG (-) terminal.

Connecting AC power cables
Complete view of the connected AC power cables
The AC device is allowed to connect to AC power supplies only, and the DC device is allowed to
connect to DC power supplies only.
The AC power modules and DC power modules of the storage system can connect to two routes of
power supplies. To ensure the high availability of the storage system and avoid unexpected power-
down of the storage system caused by the failure of the power supplies, connect the storage system
to two routes of power supplies.

Power On Devices
1 Switching On the External Power Sources
3 Checking the Status Indicators on the Controller Enclosure (Front View)
Switching on the external power sources of the devices in the following sequence:
Disk enclosures → controller enclosure → switch (for SAN) → application server.
Before you power on the system, ensure that you have connected the disk enclosures to the controller
enclosure.
The power-on process takes about ten minutes. The disk enclosures start after the controller
enclosure is started.
Check the status indicators after the devices are powered on.
When the storage system is powered on, the colors of the indicators vary with the port speeds.
For details, see the OceanStor Dorado2100 G2 Storage System Installation Guide.

After the storage system is powered on, do the following to initialize it.
1. Modify the IP address of the management network port through CLI (before this operation, you need to
connect the serial port on the controller enclosure to a maintenance terminal).
2. Install the ISM (on the maintenance terminal).
3. Modify the password of the administrator.
After the storage system is initialized, you are recommended to install the following host software on the
application server.
UltraPath: for how to install the UltraPath, see the OceanStor UltraPath for Windows User Guide, OceanStor
UltraPath for Linux User Guide, and OceanStor UltraPath for AIX User Guide.
The initial value for the IP address of the management network port is 192.168.128.101 or
192.168.128.102. The default subnet mask is 255.255.255.0.
The default name of the storage system is "admin", and the password is "Admin@storage". You are
advised to change the default login password immediately after you have logged in to the storage
system for the first time, and to periodically change your login password in the future. This reduces
the password leakage risks.
For details on how to initialize the storage system, see the OceanStor Dorado2100 Storage System
Installation Guide.
If faults occur during power-on, seek help from the OceanStor Dorado2100 G2 Storage System Troubleshooting.
