About This Guide
This Sun Storage 2500-M2 Arrays Hardware Installation Guide describes how to install
array trays in a cabinet, physically set up and connect your array to a host, apply
power and to add network functionality, including storage management
(multipath/failover), IP addressing, and DHCP.
The terminology used in this document refers to the Sun Storage 2500-M2 Arrays.
There are two styles of controller trays, each with different host interface ports (SAS
or FC). There is also the expansion tray, which enables the Sun Storage 2500-M2
Arrays to have more disk drives attached. The components that slide into the trays
are called customer replaceable units (CRUs) or modules.
Array management, data host management, and remote command line interface
(CLI) functions are performed by the Sun Storage Common Array Manager (CAM)
software. For installation and initial configuration of the array, including firmware
upgrades, initial array setup, partitioning domains, configuring storage, and
configuring IP addressing, see the Sun Storage Common Array Manager Installation and
Setup Guide.
Before You Begin
Refer to the following documents to make sure physical dimensions, service
clearances, and power connections are ready for the installation of the array.

CHAPTER 1
Installing Sun Storage 2500-M2
Arrays
This chapter describes the process of installing the Sun Storage 2500-M2 Arrays. It
contains the following sections:
■“About Sun Storage 2500-M2 Trays” on page 1
■“Installation Tasks Checklist” on page 4

About Sun Storage 2500-M2 Trays
The Sun Storage 2540-M2 FC array, Sun Storage 2530-M2 SAS array, and the Sun
Storage 2501-M2 array expansion tray are a family of storage products that provide
high-capacity, high-reliability storage in a compact configuration.
The controller tray, with two controller modules, provides the interface between a
data host and the disk drives. The Sun Storage 2540-M2 FC array provides a Fibre
Channel (FC) connection between the data host and the controller tray. The Sun
Storage 2530-M2 SAS array provides a Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) connection
between the data host and the controller tray.
The Sun Storage 2500-M2 Arrays are modular, rack-mountable controller trays. The
arrays are scalable from a single controller tray configuration to a maximum
configuration of one controller tray and three additional expansion trays. One
controller tray and three expansion trays creates a storage array configuration with a
total of 48 drives.

2Hardware Installation Guide • June 2011
The Sun Storage 2501-M2 array expansion tray provides additional storage. You can
attach the expansion tray to either of the Sun Storage 2500-M2 Arrays. Controller
trays and expansion trays can be installed in industry-standard cabinets.
Use Sun Storage Common Array Manager to manage the array. See Sun Storage
Common Array Manager documentation for more information.
Caution – Possible hardware damage—To prevent electrostatic discharge damage
to the tray, use proper antistatic protection when handling tray components.
Sun Storage 2500-M2 Controller Trays
Two types of controller trays are offered:
■Sun Storage 2540-M2 Fibre Channel (FC) Array
■Sun Storage 2530-M2 Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) Array
TABLE 1-1 describes the features of the FC and SAS controller trays.
Sun Storage 2501-M2 Expansion Tray
The expansion tray expands the capacity of a storage array. The controllers in the
controller tray connect to the expansion tray and access the disk drives in the
expansion tray for additional storage. An expansion tray contains both physical
components (disk drives, input/output modules (IOMs), and power-fan modules)
and logical components (virtual disks and volumes).

Important Information About DC Power Option
You can order an optional DC power supply connection and connector cables for the
drive tray. A qualified service person is required to make the DC power connection
per NEC and CEC guidelines. A two-pole, 30-amp circuit breaker is required
between the DC power source and the drive tray for over-current and short-circuit
protection. Before turning off any power switches on a DC-powered expansion tray,
you must disconnect the two-pole, 30-amp circuit breaker.
Caution – Risk of electrical shock—This unit has more than one power source. To
remove all power from the unit, all DC MAINS must be disconnected by removing
all power connectors from the power supplies.
Controller Tray Host Ports
FIGURE 1-7 Sun Storage 2530-M2 Array SAS Ports—Rear View
1SAS host ports 2SAS expansion port

Chapter 1 Installing Sun Storage 2500-M2 Arrays 9
FIGURE 1-8 Sun Storage 2540-M2 Arrays FC Ports—Rear View
Note – Four Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) transceivers are shipped with the
Sun Storage 2540-M2 FC controller tray, providing support for two FC ports per
controller module, or four FC ports per controller tray.
Note – The SAS host ports on the 2540-M2 FC controller tray are not for use and not
supported.
SFP Transceivers
The controller tray supports Fibre Channel (FC) and SAS drive connections. FC host
connections can operate at 8 Gb/s or at a lower data rate. Ports for 8-Gb/s Fibre
Channel host connections require SFP transceivers designed for this data rate. These
SFP transceivers look similar to other SFP transceivers but are not compatible with
other types of connections.
Note – The SFP transceiver shown might look different from those that are shipped
with your controller tray. The difference does not affect transceiver performance.
Caution – Risk of exposure to laser radiation—Do not disassemble or remove any
part of a Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) transceiver because you might be
exposed to laser radiation.

10 Hardware Installation Guide • June 2011
FIGURE 1-9 SFP Transceiver for the Sun Storage 2540-M2 FC Array
Note – On the Sun Storage 2530-M2 controller tray, each controller module has a
pair of levers with handles for removing the component from the tray. One of these
handles on each controller module is located next to a host port. The close spacing
between the handle and the host port might make it difficult to remove a cable that
is attached to the host port. If this problem occurs, use a flat-blade screwdriver to
push in the release component on the cable connector.
Power-Fan Modules
The power-fan module for the Sun Storage 2540-M2 FC array, Sun Storage 2530-M2
SAS array, and Sun Storage 2501-M2 array expansion tray is identical and
interchangeable.
Note – A minimum of two disk drives must be operating in a controller tray or in
an expansion tray to avoid generating a power-fan module error.
The power-fan module contains an integrated cooling fan. The power supply
provides power to the internal components by converting incoming AC voltage to
DC voltage. The fan circulates air inside of the tray by pulling air in through the
vents on the front of the module and pushing the air out of the vents on the back of
each fan.
Each tray contains two power-fan modules. If one power supply is turned off or
malfunctions, the other power supply maintains electrical power to the tray.
Likewise, the fans provide redundant cooling. If one of the fans in either fan housing
fails, the remaining fan continues to provide sufficient cooling to operate the tray.
The remaining fan runs at a higher speed until the failed fan is replaced. Replace the
failed fan as soon as possible.
