1 Getting started
The first step is to determine what type of expansion you will perform, which will determine the
applicable quantity of hardware components needed.
Multi-product main rackIf the main rack containing the EVA6400 or EVA8400 currently includes
non-EVA components (such as servers or switches), consider the following maximum configurations
when determining the number of disk enclosures that will reside in the expansion rack:
The EVA6400 supports a maximum of 18 disk enclosures (main and expansion racks combined).
The EVA8400 supports a maximum of 27 disk enclosures (main and expansion racks combined).
NOTE:
Because there is no standard for a multi-product rack, there are several possible configurations,
in terms of the number of disk enclosures included. This document does not cover all possible
configurations; instead it assumes a starting point of a 2C6D main rack and an 0C6D expansion
rack and provides general guidelines, which can be adapted for any configuration.
EVA8400 2C18D main rackThe main rack is full with 2 controllers and 18 disk enclosures and
the expansion rack will contain up to 9 disk enclosures.
NOTE:
If you want to add disk enclosures to an EVA6400/8400 in the main rack, see the
HP
StorageWorks 6400/8400 Enterprise Virtual Array installation guide
or the
HP Storage
EVA6400/8400 M6412A disk enclosure installation instructions
for more information. The
installation guide contains cabling diagrams for various configurations, up to 2C18D within one
rack. The disk enclosure installation instructions show how to add disk enclosures to an existing
configuration.
Hardware requirements
The following tables list the components needed to perform the expansion for these configurations.

0CxD Expansion rack requirements
One existing 2CxD main rack containing a properly wired controller pair and disk enclosures
(see Figure 1).
The controllers may be above or in the middle of the disk enclosures, depending on the number
of disk enclosures and how the rack was initially configured. Figure 1 is an example only, showing
six disk enclosures below the EVA8400 controllers.
The main rack must be running properly.
A new 0CxD expansion rack containing properly wired disk enclosures (see Figure 2). Figure 2
is an example only, showing six disk enclosures and assuming there are six disk enclosures in the
main rack.

2 Installing disk enclosures into the
expansion rack
Before you begin
Read the following warnings and cautions before installing the disk enclosure.
WARNING!
Make sure that the rack is sufficiently stable. If provided, lower the rack leveler feet and make sure
any stabilizers are installed. If provided, extend the rack anti-tip device. Failure to extend the anti-tip
device could result in personal injury or damage if the rack tips over.
CAUTION:
Make sure that the cabinet and all equipment mounted in the cabinet have a reliable ground
connection. Verify that the total current of the cabinet components does not exceed the current rating
of the power distribution unit or the power distribution modules.
CAUTION:
Parts can be damaged by electrostatic discharge. User proper anti-static protection. For additional
information, see the documentation that shipped with your system.
Kit contents
Check the kit contents to make sure you have the items listed in Figure 5.

Rails with 03 brackets5.Disk enclosure1.
Two Fibre Channel copper cables6.
Eight disk drive blanks (may come pre-installed
in enclosure)
2.
Two enclosure power cords7.04 brackets (not used)3.
Pins for round-hole cabinet conversion4.
Figure 5 Kit contents
.
Converting the rails
The rail kit supplied with the disk enclosure comes configured for square-hole racks. If you need to
convert the rails for a round-hole racks, perform the following steps:
IMPORTANT:
Do not remove the pins from the ends of the rails unless you are converting the rails for use in
round-hole racks. These load-bearing pins are designed to fit through the holes without being removed.
1. Locate the bag of eight round-hole pins included in the rail kit.
Installing disk enclosures into the expansion rack14
2. Use a No. 2 Phillips screwdriver to remove the standard pins from the front and back of the left
and right rails (four pins on each rail).
Figure 6 Square hole to round hole cabinet conversion
.
3. Insert the round-hole pins into the eight holes on the rails where the standard pins were removed.
Attach the rails
NOTE:
The left and right rails are designated by the letters R (right) and L (left) stamped into the metal on the
front of the rack.
Consider the following when installing the rails:
Installing the rails does not require any tools for assembly.
HP recommends you install all the rail kits before installing any other components.
Ensure the rails are level before installing any other components.
WARNING!
Before you begin, ensure that the rack is sufficiently stable. If provided, lower the rack leveler feet
and make sure any required stabilizers are installed. If provided, extend the anti-tip device. Failure
to extend the anti-tip device could cause personal injury or damage if the rack tips over.

1. On the rear of the rail, squeeze the scissor latch (1, Figure 7) together to insert the rail and pins
through the rack holes (2) until the latch engages.
Figure 7 Attaching the rear rail
.
2. On the front of the rail, pull the locking latch to release the scissors latch (1, Figure 8) and then
squeeze the scissor latch together to insert the rail and pins through the rack upright holes until
the latch engages (3).

3. Loosen the locking nut (1, Figure 9) on the shipping retaining bracket (2) and slide the bracket
to the farthest position on the rear of the rail. This moves the bracket out of the way to let you
install the chassis in the rails.
Figure 9 Move retaining bracket to back
.
4. After attaching the rail, grab and move the rail gently to be sure it is firmly engaged in the rack
and that all latches are engaged in the rack holes.
5. Repeat Step 1 through Step 4 for the other rail.
Installing the disk enclosure
1. Remove the bezel covers from each side of the enclosure (see Figure 10).
CAUTION:
Be careful when removing the bezel covers so as to not break the locking tabs that secure the
covers to the enclosure.
Figure 10 Remove bezel cover
.
HP StorageWorks 6400/8400 Enterprise Virtual Array expansion rack reference guide 17
2. Align the enclosure with the rails and slide it into the rack.
Figure 11 Slide disk enclosure onto rails
.
3. Continue sliding the enclosure into the rack until the front edge is flush with the front of the rack
(1, Figure 12). Tighten the enclosure thumbscrews into the rack (2), taking care to not strip the
Phillips-head thumbscrews.
Figure 12 Tighten disk enclosure thumbscrews
.
4. Reattach the front bezel covers.
Installing disk enclosures into the expansion rack18
5. At the rear of the rack, loosen the thumbscrew on the shipping retaining bracket (1, Figure 15)
and slide the bracket forward (2, Figure 15) until the tab engages the slot in the chassis. Tighten
the thumbscrew on the bracket.

6. To install disk drives:
a. Insert the disk drive into the drive bay (1, Figure 14) until it clicks, locking the drive.
b. Rotate the drive lever to the right (2, Figure 14) until it locks.
c. Ensure the drives are installed in the proper sequence, following the numbering scheme in
Figure 15.

7. Insert a drive blank into any slot without a disk drive (Figure 16). Push the drive blank in until
you detect a click.
