320 JBOD

Safety Statements

The following safety statements must be read before insta-

lation. For language translations of these statements refer to

Appendix B.

CAUTION: This equipment is intended only for installation in a

restricted access location.

CAUTION: Allow disk drives and power supplies to reach room

ambient temperature before powering on the system.

CAUTION: It is recommended that if interconnecting equipment

resides within more than one equipment rack cabinet, these cabi-

nets should be at the same ground potential.

CAUTION: Before attempting to install or remove any of the com-

ponents, ensure that anti-static precautions have been taken. The

minimum requirement is an anti-static wrist strap and grounding

wire.

CAUTION: When installing or removing a rackmount shelf,

remove all power supplies and disk drives. It is recommended that

you work with at least one other person. This is necessary to pre-

vent personal injury and damage to the shelf.

Safety Statements

16

320 JBOD

CAUTION: After removing a Module the resulting hole must be

blocked, by installing a blanking plate or by installing a replace-

ment Module. Failure to do so can disrupt air flow and seriously

reduce cooling.

WARNING: A possible shock hazard may exist in the area of the

fan connection.

WARNING: Disconnect both power supply inlets before opening

this equipment for servicing.

WARNING: The module handles are to facilitate the easy inser-

tion and removal of the modules, they should not be used to lift

and/or carry the enclosure.

About the ULTRAbloc Series Storage Array

17

320 JBOD

Chapter 1: Introduction

This Chapter introduces the ULTRAbloc Series of Storage

Arrays. The main features are described along with a list of

the options and configurations that are available.

About the ULTRAbloc Series Storage Array

The ULTRAbloc Series is a new concept in data storage that

provides the optimum in investment protection and versatil-

ity. The ULTRAbloc Series will meet the performance,

capacity, and high availability needs of the widest variety of

applications, such as video, imaging, prepress, data ware-

house, OLTP, and web servers.

Features

• Fourteen disk drive slots.

• Redundant AC power supplies.

• Redundant input power cords.

• A total of four fans in two Advanced Cooling Modules (ACM)

providing n+1 redundancy on fans.

• Two rear removable I/O option modules provide active/passive

failure redundancy on environmental monitoring, or per Bus

Monitoring.

• Multi-MODE SCSI Interface Ultra 320, Ultra 160, Ultra-2

LVD SCSI.

• Hot plug of power supplies and ACM’s.

• Maximum configurations of drives supported with one or two

power supplies.

• Failure indication of all Field Replaceable Units (FRU) via

LEDs and audible alarm (with alarm mute button).

• Disk drive hot plug support.

• Auto-sense termination at end of bus (busses) if no cable

present.

• Auto bus split if two cables present.

Features

18

320 JBOD

• Up to 10M of LVD SCSI cable.

• SCSI I.D.’s hard-wired.

• Global remote spinup enable capability.

• Global delayed spinup enable capability.

• Rail Kit mounting option for 19” and 23” equipment racks.

• Floor mount desk side option (tower).

• Carrier cam lever allows controlled insertion and extraction of

disk carriers.

Disk Drive Carrier The disk drive carrier supports a one inch disk drive with

support for 10K RPM drives and higher (15K). The

ULTRAbloc Series enclosure holds up to fourteen disk drive

carriers. The disk drives can be hot swapped and the disk

drive carriers provide for blind mating.

Power Supplies The ULTRAbloc Series uses two AC power supplies for

normal operation, providing redundancy of the power

system. The power supplies can be hot swapped. The power

supplies provide 673 Watts continuous output power and 853

Watts peak output power. The power supplies provide active

current sharing, power factor correction, over current and

over voltage protection is also provided. The power supplies

have individual power inputs.

Cooling System Cooling is provided by the two Advanced Cooling

Modules (ACMs) located at the rear of the enclosure. Each

of the ACM units contain two variable speed fans. The

enclosure requires four fans for normal operation, but will

operate correctly with one fan failed (redundancy is lost if

one fan is failed in either ACM), however, it is recom-

mended that the failed fan be replaced as soon as possible.

The ACM units can be hot swapped. The I/O Option Module

Features

19

320 JBOD

(ESM and TSM described later) monitors and controls the

speed of each fan. The speed is set depending on the ambient

temperature and failed status. The fans are set to full speed

if one fan is failed. The following table shows how the fan

speed relates to temperature change.

Note: All fans are set to the same speed.

I/O Modules

20

320 JBOD

I/O Modules

There are two I/O option slots located at the rear of the

enclosure. One of these must contain an Enclosure

Services Module (ESM) or a Concentrator Services

Module (CSM) and the other slot can contain one of the

following:

• Terminating Services Module (TSM)

• Terminator Module (TM)

• Joiner Module (JM)

The I/O slot located on the left of the enclosure as viewed

from the back is called I/O Slot A and the I/O slot located on

the right is called I/O Slot B (top and bottom I/O slots

respectively in deskside tower models).

The following sections will describe the modules and how

they should be used.

Enclosure Services

Module ESM

The Enclosure Services Module (ESM) has three primary

functions. It acts as a SCSI bus pass-through from external

cabling to the internal busses. Secondly, it terminates the

end of the SCSI bus in joined mode. Finally, it provides

monitoring, reporting and control of the system storage

enclosure. The ESM reports status and receives control

information via the SCSI bus per the SCSI-3 Enclosure

Services specification and also the SAF-TE specification.

Concentrator

Services Module

The Concentrator Services Module (CSM) includes the

same functionality as the ESM (see above) in addition to

giving the enclosure Clustering capabilities. With a CSM

installed in one I/O Slot and either a CSM or a TSM

installed in the second I/O slot then a Cluster Configuration

is possible. This means that each external SCSI connector
