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
DC power: not smaller than 30 A for controller enclosures,
not smaller than 18.5 A for disk enclosures
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.
Each controller of the OceanStor 5300 V3 is equipped with four GE electrical ports. Each controller enclosure of the OceanStor 5500 V3 is
equipped with four SmartIO ports that do not support IP Scale-out networking. The following sections describe the process for installing the
OceanStor 5500 V3. The process for installing the OceanStor 5300 V3 is similar.

Recommended installation positions
Total required cabinet space = 2 U + 2 U x (Number of 2 U disk enclosures) + 4 U x (Number of 4 U disk enclosures)
For example, if the OceanStor 5500 V3 is equipped with three 2 U disk enclosures and three 4 U disk enclosures,
the space required by a cabinet is calculated as follows:
20 U = 2 U + 2 U x 3 + 4 U x 3
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).

(2) Remove a rail support.(1) Pull out the inner rail of the ball bearing guide rails.
(3) Loosen the screws and adjust the length of the ball
bearing guide rail to be the same of the cabinet depth. (4) Install the ball bearing guide rails.

(7) Check the installation of the ball bearing guide rails.ng Hardware Installation
Check the distance between the left and right guide rails, and
ensure that the two templates can align and slot into the ball
bearing guide rails.
Check that the ball of the ball bearing guide rail has been
placed at the most front end of the middle rail.
Check that the edges of the middle rail and external rail are
at the same vertical plane.
(5) Fasten screws.

Scenario 2 Installing a high-density disk enclosure
Scenario 1 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.
NOTICE
(1) Install the inner rail.
1. Install the inner rail onto the system enclosure.
2. Use two M4 screws to secure the inner rail.
(2) Remove the two M3 screws from the upper panel.

1010
(3) Place the side step at the rear (excluding the inner rail) of the high-density disk enclosure onto the front
bracket of the ball bearing guide rails, and slide the disk enclosure into the cabinet along the ball bearing guide
rails (no manual alignment is required because the inner rail automatically connects to the middle rail).
Do not pull out the middle guide rails when sliding the high-density disk enclosure into the cabinet.
Otherwise, the guide rails may be warped.
Before you install disk modules, install the high-density disk enclosure into the cabinet.
(4) Install a cover.
1. Pull out the enclosure slowly.
2. Push the upper cover backward until the upper cover touches the mounting bars.
3. Fasten the two captive screws on the cover.
(5) Secure the high-density disk enclosure.
1. Slide the enclosure into the cabinet slowly along the ball bearing guide rails.
2. Fasten the two captive screws on the front panel.

2f Installing a cable tray
(1) Insert the cable tray into the ball bearing guide rails and the high-density disk enclosure.
(2) Use a Phillips screwdriver to fasten M3 screws to secure the cable tray.
(3) Install the spring pins to cable trays to secure the cable tray.

2g (Optional) Installing disk modules
(1) Installing disk modules into a 2 U disk enclosure
Scenario 1 Installing disk modules into a disk enclosure (2) Installing disk modules into a 4 U disk enclosure
(1) (2)
Scenario 2 Installing disk modules into a high-density 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
To ensure well heat dissipation, insert coffer disks to slots of A0 to A3. Then insert disks from left to right
and from E0 to A14. If the disk module is not fully configured, cover filler panels over vacant disk slots.
NOTICE
2h (Optional) Installing filler panels
If the cabinet is equipped with filler panels, skip this procedure.

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.
All the EXP ports on the storage system can connect only to the PRI ports. An incorrect connection will cause
a service interruption.
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.
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.

Connect two high-density disk enclosures using mini SAS HD electrical cables. The 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.
Standard and high-density disk enclosures cannot be connected to one expansion loop.
Each expansion loop of high-density disk enclosures must be connected to two adjacent ports (excluding ports
P1 and P2) of the 12 Gbit/s SAS interface module on a controller enclosure, for example, ports P0 and P1 or ports
P2 and P3.

Fibre Channel, 10GE, 10 Gbit/s FCoE, GE electrical, 10GE electrical, or 56 Gbit/s InfiniBand).
10GE electrical interface modules support GE/10GE auto-sensing.
The following figures are an example of cable connections. The details like cable appearance and types of
interface modules may be different from those at your site.
The following figures show the connections by network cables and optical fibers. For details, see OceanStor
