xSetting Up Your 5065 or 5066 Expansion Unit V4R5

Chapter 1. Preparing to set up your 5065 or 5066
This chapter explains what you need to do before you install your 5065 or 5066
Expansion Unit. This includes the following tasks:
1. Unpack your expansion unit (refer to the instructions for unpacking that came
with your expansion unit).
2. Plan layouts for your cables.
3. Power down your system unit.
Before you begin the installation process, you should carefully plan where you will
install your new expansion unit. You should consider several factors that include
size, weight, security, and environmental factors. IBM provides detailed
information for AS/400 planning at the following web site:
http://www.as400.ibm.com
You can find the AS/400 Site Preparation Guide and other relevant information by
selecting the Technical Studio under Hot Topics at this web site.
Hardware requirements
When you ordered your new expansion unit, the configurator took an inventory of
your system. The configurator then determined if you needed to add an optical
card or an SPCN card.
If you received these features in your new expansion unit package, contact IBM or
an Authorized Dealer to make arrangements to have them installed.
5065 Hardware Requirements
If you are installing your 5065 Expansion Unit directly to your system unit, you
need to have these prerequisites:
vAn available system power control network (SPCN) connector.
vAn available 2688 optical link processor (OLP) card (one OLP card can support
two expansion units).
If you are connecting your 5065 Expansion Unit to another expansion unit, your
expansion unit needs to have:
vAn available SPCN connector.
vAn available 2682 OLP card.
5066 Hardware Requirements
You need to have the following prerequisites to install your 5066 Expansion Unit:
vAn available system power control network (SPCN) connector.
vAn available 2688 optical link processor (OLP) card (one OLP card can support
both expansion units in your 5066).
Site planning considerations for the 5066
Weight and Size of the 5066
© Copyright IBM Corp. 1999, 2000 1

Table 1 shows the weight and dimensions of the 5066 Expansion Unit.
Table 1. 5066 Weight and Size descriptions
Weight (fully configured) 1600 lb (725 kg)
Width 25.5 in (650 mm)
Depth 40 in (1020 mm)
Height 71 in (1800 mm)
The 5066 has a floor loading of 86 lb/ft
2
(420 kg/m
2
). Because of the size and
weight of the 5066, you should do the following:
CAUTION:
Overlapping the clearance defined below with adjacent equipment results in a
significant increase in the amount of floor loading.
vContact your facility or structural engineer to determine a safe site for your
5066.
vLeave 30 in. (762 mm) of clearance to the front and back of the 5066.
vLeave 5 in. (127 mm) of clearance to the left and right of the 5066.
Planning your cable layout
When you decide where to place your cables, follow your site plan and keep the
following things in mind:
vAvoid creating a safety hazard.
vAvoid damaging the cable.
Placing power cords for the 5066
You need to provide the appropriate receptacles for the power cords shipped with
your 5066. The usable length of the upper power cord is 4 ft. (1.2 m) shorter than
the length of the lower power cord.
Redundant links
Your new expansion unit has disk units. Therefore, when you plan your cable
layout, you should use a redundant link configuration to protect your disk units. A
redundant link is a secondary optical cable link that your system can use if the
primary link experiences a failure. You can create a redundant link configuration
by connecting an extra optical cable link between the expansion units and the
system unit.
Refer to Figure 1 on page 3 to see how to plan your cables with a redundant link
configuration with one expansion unit. If you are linking two expansion units refer
to Figure 2 on page 3 If you are setting up a 5066, refer to Figure 3 on page 4.

Handling optical cables
When you handle optical cables, remember to observe these guidelines.
Attention:
vHandle the optical cables with care to prevent damage.
vDo not use pliers or similar tools to hold an optical bus cable.
vDo not use the cable to disconnect the cable connector.
vRefer to Figure 4 on page 5 before disconnecting cables.
vDo not place the cables near any sharp edges or points that could cut the outer
covering.
vDo not place the cables near any objects that are very hot or very cold.
vDo not coil the cables to a diameter less than 16.0 cm (6.3 inches).
vDo not bend the cables to a radius less than 3.0 cm (1.2 inches).
vDo not grip the optical cables with mechanical tools.
vDo not remove the dust covers from the connectors until you are ready to clean
the connectors and attach the cables.
vIf the dust caps have been in place, IBM recommends that you clean the
connectors before attaching them.
