Safety precaution

Read these instructions carefully before you install, operate, or transport the unified storage system and

JBODs.

Energy hazards precaution

The device should be installed according to specifications. This device should be operated at a site that

is:

This equipment is intended to be used in Restrict Access Location, like computer room. The access

can only be gained by SERVICE PERSONS or by USERS who have been instructed about the metal

chassis of the equipment is have energy hazards that service persons have to pay special attention

or take special protection before touching it. Further, the access is through the use of key or security

identity system. Only authorized by well trained professional person can access the restrict access

location.

Installation and operation

•

Install the rack cabinet and the associated equipment at a site where the ambient temperature

(special room cooling equipment may be required) stays lower than 40°C.

•

Install the power source socket outlet near the enclosure where it is easily accessible and ground

the rack cabinet.

•

Secure airflow clearance inside and around the rack cabinet.

Secure an 18 to 20 cm clearance on the rear side.

Do not cover the enclosure openings.

Route the cables inside the rack cabinet.

Do not leave drive bays empty as it will affect airflow efficiency.

•

Secure each enclosure module using its retaining screws.

•

Place power cords and other cables away from foot traffic. Do not place items on top of power

cords and make sure they do not rest against data cables.

•

Install all modules to the enclosure before powering-on systems.

•

Ensure that the correct power range is being used before powering-on.

•

DO NOT remove covers or replaceable modules if they are not faulty.

•

If the system is not going to be used for a long period of time, disconnect it from the power mains to

avoid transient over-voltage.

For power source redundancy, please make sure that the two PSUs are plugged into two different power

sources (i.e. Different circuit breakers).

Service and maintenance

•

Keep the faulty module in place until you have a replacement unit; an empty module greatly affects

the airflow efficiency within the enclosure.

•

During service operation, place the enclosure on soft and clean surface to prevent exterior

damage. Do not place tools or other items on top.

•

When transporting the enclosure, repackage all disk drives separately in the original package foam

blocks. Replaceable modules can stay in the enclosure if you are using the original package; if not,

repackage them separately as well.

•

Disconnect the power cords before servicing or cleaning the enclosure.

vi

•

Use a slightly moistened paper sheet or cloth for cleaning. Avoid using liquid or sprayed detergent.

•

When replacing components, insert them as gently as possible while assuring full engagement.

Vibration and shock can easily damage hard drives.

•

Only qualified service personnel should open the enclosure.

•

Contact service personnel if any of the following situations occurs:

The power cord or plug is damaged.

The enclosure has been exposed to moisture.

The system has not been working properly.

The enclosure was dropped against a hard surface.

The enclosure shows obvious signs of breakage.

•

To move the enclosure, more than one person might be necessary due to its weight. Drives should

be removed from the enclosure beforehand.

Important Notice

The use of Infortrend certified components is strongly recommended to ensure compatibility, quality and

normal operation with your Infortrend products. Please contact your distributor for a list of Infortrend

certified components (e.g. SFP, SFP+, HBA card, iSCSI cable, FC cable, memory module, etc.).

ESD Precautions

•

Handle the modules by their retention screws, ejector levers, or the module’s metal frame/faceplate

only. Avoid touching the PCB boards or connector pins.

•

Use a grounded wrist strap and an anti-static work pad to discharge static electricity when installing

or operating the enclosure.

•

Avoid dust, debris, carpets, plastic, vinyl, and Styrofoam in your work area.

•

Do not remove any module or component from its anti-static bag before installation takes place.

Drives must not be stacked on top of each other without their protective drive trays. Even when drives

are fixed in the drive trays, contacting the exposed PCB or rear-side interface may damage the drives.

This chapter introduces the look and feel of EonServ 7000 system, its features, and the

components it supported.

Overview

This manual introduces EonServ 7000 systems, an enterprise high performance storage server

that supports 2.5-inch or 3.5-inch SAS and SATA hard drives. You can also expand your system

by connecting expansion enclosures called JBODs. Infortrend integrated RAID storage and server

capabilities in EonServ systems. It allows operating system installation that best suit your needs and

offers massive and the safest data storage capabilities.

Model variations

The EonServ 7000 system has two form factors.

Chapter 1: Product introduction

Major components

NOTE: Upon receiving the system, check the package contents and compare them to the

Unpacking List. If one or more of the modules are missing, please contact your system vendor.

Controller and interface

The controller interface of the system represents the server component of the system with Ethernet,

VGA output, USB 2.0/3.0 ports, and other interfaces for various connection and expansion capabilities.

JBOD controller and interface

The enclosure is managed by expander controllers that distribute data flow to individual disk drives and

report operating status through a proprietary enclosure service via in-band protocols. The enclosure,

along with other JBODs, connects to an EonServ system and serves as a building block of a scalable

configuration.

In terms of supported protocols, the firmware supports communications with enclosure devices, SAS/

SATA disk drives and EonServ systems featuring 12 Gbps SAS expansion ports.

In terms of physical connection, the SAS interface provides easy cabling via mini-SAS connectors. With

a backplane-adapting SAS or SATA drives, the system supports enterprise-class SAS, Near-line SAS,

and cost-effective SATA-II or SATA-III hard drives. This is ideal for adding large capacity to a storage

pool.

Power supply unit with built-in cooling module

The cooling module is built into the power supply unit (PSU) to protect the system from overheating. The

two hot-swappable PSUs provide constant power to the system. The modular nature of the system and

the easy accessibility to all major components ensure ease of maintenance.

WARNING!

•

DO NOT remove the redundant components.

•

DO NOT remove the redundant components without a replacement on hand.

Internal backplane

The internal backplane is a circuit board that separates the front and rear parts of the chassis. This

provides logic level signals and low voltage power paths. The thermal sensors and I

C devices are

embedded to detect system temperatures and PSU/cooling module operating status. This board is

comprised of non user-serviceable components.

WARNING!

•

Accessing the backplane board may lead to serious damage to the system.

•

Physical contact with the backplane board may cause electrocution.
