About this guide ix

xIBM TotalStorage IP Storage 200i Models 110 and 210 Installation Guide

Chapter 1. General Information
This chapter provides an overview of the IBM
®
TotalStorage
™
IP Storage 200i and
iSCSI clients, and lists the standard and optional features and hardware
specifications for Models 110 and 210.
IBM IP Storage 200i
The IBM TotalStorage IP Storage 200i consists of the IBM 4125 IP Storage Models
110 and 210. These models are designed for workgroups, departments, and
solution providers that have storage area network requirements across
heterogeneous Microsoft
®
Windows NT
®
, Windows
®
2000, and Linux clients (iSCSI
clients). It includes preloaded code and offers virtually “Plug and Play”IP-based
storage.
Model 110 is a tower unit that requires only power and network connections for
setup. A conversion kit is available to convert Model 110 for rack mounting. The
Model 210 can be mounted in a 5U rack drawer. In addition to power and network
interfaces, the Model 210 has external SCSI connections for up to three storage
units for a total rack requirement of 14U.
For additional storage, a Model EXP (also known as a storage unit) can be
attached to the Model 210 to increase its storage capacity. Each storage unit
supports up to 14 Ultra160 SCSI hard disk drives. It delivers fast, high-volume data
transfer, retrieval, and storage functions across multiple drives.
iSCSI clients
The iSCSI clients allow Microsoft Windows NT, Windows 2000, and Linux
computers to access storage over an IP network. The iSCSI client, as an iSCSI
initiator, issues SCSI commands to the IP Storage 200i according to the
IETF-defined protocol for IP storage.
When the iSCSI client is successfully connected to the IP Storage 200i, any disks
assigned to the iSCSI client appear as a physical disk. Operations normally
performed on a physical SCSI disk can be performed on an iSCSI disk.
Note: You cannot boot from an iSCSI disk; instead, the iSCSI disk is used for
storage after the computer is booted.
You can download the iSCSI client code from the following Web site:

Setting up the appliance
To set up the IP Storage 200i:
1. If you are setting up a Model 210, install the engine in a rack (see “Installing a
Model 210 in a rack”).
2. Install any optional features (see “Installing optional features”on page 10).
3. Connect the power cords and network cables (see “Attaching the cables”on
page 26).
4. Start the appliance and verify that the power-on diagnostics completed
successfully (see “Powering on the appliance”on page 30).
5. Insert the Recovery CD in the CD-ROM drive. This CD might be required for
future system recovery and must be kept in the CD-ROM drive at all times.
6. Perform the initial configuration (see “Performing initial configuration”on
page 32).
Installing a Model 210 in a rack
For Model 210, use the rack-mounting kit provided to install the engine in a rack.
Before you begin the installation:
vReview the documentation that comes with your rack enclosure.
vEnsure that the room air temperature is below 35°C (95°F).
vMaintain a 15-cm (6-in.) clearance around the engine for air circulation.
vPlan the installation working from the bottom of the rack up.
vTake precautions to prevent the rack from overloading the power outlets when
you install multiple components in the rack.

CAUTION:
<2–17> Use safe practices when lifting.
!
CAUTION:
<2–18> Do not place any object weighing more than 82 kg (180 lb) on top of
rack-mounted devices.
!
CAUTION:
<2-20> Do not place your fingers around the rack-support wheels when
lowering the engine onto the slide rails. Ensure that your fingers do not
become pinched between the wheels and the rail.
Note: For translations of this safety notice, refer to Safety Information, which can
be found on the Publications and Code CD that was shipped with your
appliance.
To install the Model 210 in a rack:
1. Review the safety precautions in “Safety precautions”on page ix.
2. Remove all hard disk drives before installing the engine in a rack to lighten the
weight of the engine:
a. Pull the drive tray handle to the open position (perpendicular to the hard
drive) to disengage the hard disk drive connector from the backplane at the
back of the drive bay.
b. Wait approximately 30 seconds to allow the hard disk drive to spin down.
c. Pull the hot-swap hard disk drive assembly from the drive bay.
3. Remove the rack doors and the side panels during the installation, if necessary.
Chapter 2. Installation procedures 7

4. Using the stickers provided on the rack-mounting template, mark holes on the
front and rear of the rack in the locations indicated by the arrows. The stickers
indicate where to place the clip nuts or cage nuts in the next step.
Note: Position the template to the rack so that the edges of the template do
not overlap any other devices to be installed.
5. Insert the cage nuts using a screwdriver or the cage-nut-insertion tool or slide
on the clip nuts (as required for your rack) into all marked holes.

6. Use the pins on the slide rail to align the rail with the rack. Use the M6 screws
to secure the slide rail to the rack. Repeat this step for the other slide rail.
