As an added precaution, safety labels are often installed directly on products or product components to warn of potential hazards. The actual product safety labels may differ from these sample safety labels:
DANGER Hazardous voltage, current, or energy levels are present inside any component that has this label attached. Do not open any cover or barrier that contains this label. (L001)
DANGER Multiple power cords. The product might be equipped with multiple power cords. To remove all hazardous voltages, disconnect all power cords. (L003)
Caution notices
A caution notice calls attention to a situation that is potentially hazardous to people because of some existing condition. A caution notice can be accompanied by different symbols, as in the examples below:
If the symbol is... It means.... A hazardous electrical condition with less severity than electrical danger.
A generally hazardous condition not represented by other safety symbols.
A hazardous condition due to the use of a laser in the product. Laser symbols are always accompanied by the classification of the laser as defined by the U. S. Department of Health and Human Services (for example, Class I, Class II, and so forth).
Attention notices
An attention notice indicates the possibility of damage to a program, device, or system, or to data. An exclamation point symbol may accompany an attention notice, but is not required. A sample attention notice follows:
Attention: Do not bend a fiber cable to a radius less than 5 cm (2 in.); you can damage the cable. Tie wraps are not recommended for optical cables because they can be easily overtightened, causing damage to the cable.
Safety notices
Laser safety
CAUTION: This product contains a Class 1M laser. Do not view directly with optical instruments. (C028)
This equipment contains Class 1 laser products, and complies with FDA radiation Performance Standards, 21 CFR Subchapter J and the international laser safety standard IEC 825-2.
CAUTION: Data processing environments can contain equipment transmitting on system links with laser modules that operate at greater than Class 1 power levels. For this reason, never look into the end of an optical fiber cable or open receptacle. (C027)
Attention: In the United States, use only SFP or GBIC optical transceivers that comply with the FDA radiation performance standards, 21 CFR Subchapter J. Internationally, use only SFP or GBIC optical transceivers that comply with IEC standard 8251. Optical products that do not comply with these standards may produce light that is hazardous to the eyes.
Usage restrictions
The optical ports of the modules must be terminated with an optical connector or with a dust plug.

Rack safety Rack installation

DANGER Observe the following precautions when working on or around your IT rack system: v Heavy equipment - personal injury or equipment damage might result if mishandled. v Always lower the leveling pads on the rack cabinet. v Always install stabilizer brackets on the rack cabinet. v To avoid hazardous conditions due to uneven mechanical loading, always install the heaviest devices in the bottom of the rack cabinet. Always install servers and optional devices starting from the bottom of the rack cabinet. v Rack-mounted devices are not to be used as shelves or work spaces. Do not place objects on top of rack-mounted devices.
v Each rack cabinet might have more than one power cord. Be sure to disconnect all power cords in the rack cabinet when directed to disconnect power during servicing. v Connect all devices installed in a rack cabinet to power devices installed in the same rack cabinet. Do not plug a power cord from a device installed in one rack cabinet into a power device installed in a different rack cabinet. v An electrical outlet that is not correctly wired could place hazardous voltage on the metal parts of the system or the devices that attach to the system. It is the responsibility of the customer to ensure that the outlet is correctly wired and grounded to prevent an electrical shock.

CAUTION: v Do not install a unit in a rack where the internal rack ambient temperatures will exceed the manufacturer's recommended ambient temperature for all your rack-mounted devices. v Do not install a unit in a rack where the air flow is compromised. Ensure that air flow is not blocked or reduced on any side, front, or back of a unit used for air flow through the unit. v Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the supply circuit so that overloading of the circuits does not compromise the supply wiring or overcurrent protection. To provide the correct power connection to a rack, refer to the rating labels located on the equipment in the rack to determine the total power requirement of the supply circuit. v (For sliding drawers.) Do not pull out or install any drawer or feature if the rack stabilizer brackets are not attached to the rack. Do not pull out more than one drawer at a time. The rack might become unstable if you pull out more than one drawer at a time. v (For fixed drawers) This drawer is a fixed drawer and should not be moved for servicing unless specified by manufacturer. Attempting to move the drawer partially or completely out of the rack may cause the rack to become unstable or cause the drawer to fall out of the rack. (R001 part 2 of 2)
viii
Rack relocation (19" rack)

CAUTION: Removing components from the upper positions in the rack cabinet improves rack stability during relocation. Follow these general guidelines whenever you relocate a populated rack cabinet within a room or building: v Reduce the weight of the rack cabinet by removing equipment starting at the top of the rack cabinet. When possible, restore the rack cabinet to the configuration of the rack cabinet as you received it. If this configuration is not known, you must do the following: Remove all devices in the 32U position and above. Ensure that the heaviest devices are installed in the bottom of the rack cabinet. Ensure that there are no empty U-levels between devices installed in the rack cabinet below the 32U level. If the rack cabinet you are relocating is part of a suite of rack cabinets, detach the rack cabinet from the suite. Inspect the route that you plan to take when moving the rack to eliminate potential hazards. Verify that the route that you choose can support the weight of the loaded rack cabinet. Refer to the documentation that came with your rack cabinet for the weight of a loaded rack cabinet. Verify that all door openings are at least 760 x 2030 mm (30 x 80 in.). Ensure that all devices, shelves, drawers, doors, and cables are secure. Ensure that the four leveling pads are raised to their highest position. Ensure that there is no stabilizer bracket installed on the rack cabinet during movement. Do not use a ramp inclined at more than ten degrees. Once the rack cabinet is in the new location, do the following: - Lower the four leveling pads. - Install stabilizer brackets on the rack cabinet. - If you removed any devices from the rack cabinet, repopulate the rack cabinet from the lowest position to the highest position. If a long distance relocation is required, restore the rack cabinet to the configuration of the rack cabinet as you received it. Pack the rack cabinet in the original packaging material, or equivalent. Also, lower the leveling pads to raise the casters off of the pallet and bolt the rack cabinet to the pallet. (R002)
Fire suppression systems

A fire suppression system is the responsibility of the customer. The customer's own insurance underwriter, local fire marshal, or a local building inspector, or both, should be consulted in selecting a fire suppression system that provides the correct level of coverage and protection. IBM designs and manufactures equipment to internal and external standards that require certain environments for reliable operation. Because IBM does not test any equipment for compatibility with fire suppression systems, IBM does not make compatibility claims of any kind nor does IBM provide recommendations on fire suppression systems.

Terminology and conventions used in this document

This guide uses the following terminology, command conventions, format conventions and keyboard conventions. In this document, the term gateway describes IBM N series storage systems that have been ordered with gateway functionality. Gateways support various types of storage, and they are used with third-party disk storage systems. In this case, disk storage for customer data and the RAID controller functionality is provided by the back-end disk storage system. A gateway might also be used with disk storage expansion units specifically designed for the IBM N series models. The term filer describes IBM N series storage systems that either contain internal disk storage or attach to disk storage expansion units specifically designed for the IBM N series storage systems. Filer storage systems do not support using third-party disk storage systems. The terms system or storage system refer to either a gateway by itself or a filer, either by itself or with additional disk drives.
Active/active and high-availability terms

active/active configuration In the Data ONTAP 7.2 and 7.3 release families, refers to a pair of storage systems (sometimes called nodes) configured to serve data for each other if one of the two systems stops functioning. Also sometimes referred to as active/active pairs. cluster In the Data ONTAP 7.1 release family, refers to a pair of storage systems (sometimes called nodes) configured to serve data for each other if one of the two systems stops functioning. In Data ONTAP 8.x 7-Mode, a cluster is a group of connected nodes (storage systems) that share a global namespace and that you can manage as a single virtual server or multiple virtual servers, providing performance, reliability, and scalability benefits. HA (high availability) In Data ONTAP 8.x 7-Mode, the recovery capability provided by a pair of nodes (storage systems), called an HA pair, that are configured to serve data for each other if one of the two nodes stops functioning. HA pair In Data ONTAP 8.x, a pair of nodes (storage systems) configured to serve data for each other if one of the two nodes stops functioning.
Storage terms
ACP Alternate Control Path is a protocol that enables Data ONTAP to manage and control the storage expansion unit storage subsystem using a separate network from the data path, so management communication is not dependent on the data path being intact and available. The controller module of the EXN1000 serial advanced technology attachment (SATA) storage expansion unit.

Data ONTAP publications are available on the IBM N series support website, which is accessed and navigated as described in Websites on page xx. v Installation and Setup Instructions for your IBM N series system and storage expansion units v Data ONTAP Software Setup Guide for your version of Data ONTAP Attention: Before you begin your installation, print and complete a configuration worksheet for your storage system to gather the information that the software setup process requires. The configuration worksheet is provided in the Data ONTAP Software Setup Guide for your version of Data ONTAP. v Data ONTAP Active/Active Configuration Guide or Data ONTAP High Availability Configuration Guide for your version of Data ONTAP, if applicable You need to supply the following tools and equipment: v Ethernet LAN cables v Fibre Channel cables v Console (for example, a PC or laptop) with a serial port v #2 Phillips screwdriver and slotted screwdriver v Grounding leash and ESD strap v 7-mm nut driver (required if removing or installing storage expansion units) RJ-45 to DB-9 console adapter cables and serial null modem cables are provided by IBM with your shipment package.
Handling static-sensitive devices

CAUTION: This system uses electronic components that are sensitive to static electricity. Static discharge from your clothing or other fixtures around you can damage these components. Put on an antistatic ESD strap and grounding leash to free yourself of static electricity before touching any electronic components.
Attention: Static electricity can damage electronic devices and your system. To avoid damage, keep static-sensitive devices in their static-protective packages until you are ready to install them. To reduce the possibility of electrostatic discharge (ESD), observe the following precautions: v Limit your movement. Movement can cause static electricity to build up around you. v Handle the device carefully, holding it by its edges or its frame. v Do not touch solder joints, pins, or exposed printed circuitry. v Do not leave the device where others can handle and possibly damage the device. v While the device is still in its static-protective package, touch it to an unpainted metal part of the system unit for at least two seconds. This drains static electricity from the package and from your body. v Remove the device from its package and install it directly into your system unit without setting it down. If it is necessary to set the device down, place it in its static-protective package. Do not place the device on your system unit cover or on a metal table. Take additional care when handling devices during cold weather because heating reduces indoor humidity and increases static electricity.

Chapter 2. Connecting an N6200 series system

This chapter describes how to connect an N6200 series system in the following topics: v Handling fiber-optic cables v Connecting your system to a power source v Connecting your system to an IP network on page 14 v Connecting your system to storage on page 15 v Connecting your system to an ASCII terminal console on page 20
Handling fiber-optic cables

Before you use fiber-optic cables, read the following precautions. Attention: To avoid damage to the fiber-optic cables, follow these guidelines: v Do not route the cable along a folding cable-management arm. v When attaching to a device on slide rails, leave enough slack in the cable so that it does not bend to a radius of less than 38 mm (1.5 in.) when extended or become pinched when retracted. v Route the cable away from places where it can be snagged by other devices in the rack cabinet. v Do not overtighten the cable straps or bend the cables to a radius of less than 38 mm (1.5 in.). v Do not put excess weight on the cable at the connection point. Be sure that the cable is well supported.
CAUTION: Data processing environments can contain equipment transmitting on system links with laser modules that operate at greater than Class 1 power levels. For this reason, never look into the end of an optical fiber cable or open receptacle.
Connecting your system to a power source

The N6200 series systems are shipped with redundant power supplies, referred to as PSU1 and PSU2. Each power supply has its own AC power cord. You should have separate circuit breakers for each power supply to ensure power redundancy. For information on connecting your N6200 series system to a power source, see the Installation and Setup Instructions that came with your system.

Configuring the Fibre Channel port

Each N6200 series system controller module provides two independent Fibre Channel ports, identified as 0c and 0d. SFPs must be firmly seated in all four ports before connecting cables. The Fibre Channel ports can operate in target or initiator mode. Fibre Channel ports do not support mixed initiator/target mode. The default mode for the ports is initiator mode. You do not need to configure the ports to use them in initiator mode. The Fibre Channel ports should be used in initiator mode to communicate with tape backup devices, such as in a TapeSAN backup configuration. Fibre Channel ports on HBAs cannot be configured in target mode. They can only be used in initiator mode.
Configuring for initiator mode

To configure the system back to initiator mode, complete the following steps. 1. Set the specified onboard ports to operate in initiator mode by entering the following command:
fcadmin config -t initiator adapter
where adapter is the port number. You can specify more than one port.
21
Example: The following example sets onboard ports 0c and 0d to initiator mode.
fcadmin config -t initiator 0c 0d
2. Reboot the system by entering the following command:

reboot
3. Verify that the Fibre Channel ports are online and configured in the correct state for your configuration by entering the following command:
fcadmin config
Example: The following output example shows two ports configured as Fibre Channel targets and two ports configured as initiators.
n6000a> fcadmin config Local Adapter Type State Status --------------------------------------------------0a target CONFIGURED online 0b target CONFIGURED online 0c initiator CONFIGURED online 0d initiator CONFIGURED online
For information on converting the onboard ports to target mode and configuring your SAN, see the IBM System Storage N series Data ONTAP Block Access Management Guide for your version of Data ONTAP.

Replacing an NVMEM battery and NVMEM DIMMs in an N6200 series system

To replace an NVMEM battery or NVMEM DIMMs in the system, you must complete a specific sequence of tasks.
About this task

v v This procedure refers to HA pairs, which in releases prior to Data ONTAP 8.0 were called active/active configurations. All other components in the system must be functioning properly; if not, contact technical support.
Shutting down the node

You shut down a node using different procedures, depending on whether it is a stand-alone system or part of an HA pair.
Shutting down a node in an HA pair

To shut down the node, you must determine the status of the node and, if necessary, take over the node so that the partner continues to serve data from the node's storage.
Before you begin

Note: If your system has two controller modules in the same chassis, you must leave the power supplies turned on at the end of this procedure to provide power to the partner node.
Procedure
1. Check the status of the target node (the node you want to perform maintenance on) by entering the cf status command at the system console of either node. 2. Take one of the following actions, depending on the result of the cf status command:
30
If... Neither node is in takeover mode The partner node took over the target node
Then... Go to the next step in this procedure. The target node is in a state where you can begin removing it from the system chassis. Continue with "Opening the System."
The target node took over the partner node
1. Correct the problem that caused the takeover. 2. Run the cf giveback command from the target node console. 3. Go back to the beginning of this procedure.
3. Take over the target node by entering the cf takeover command from the partner node's console. 4. Continue with "Opening the System."
Shutting down the node in a stand-alone system

For a node that is in a stand-alone configuration, you must perform a clean shutdown (ensuring that all data has been written to disk) and disconnect the power supplies.
Procedure
1. Enter the halt command from the system console. Attention: You must perform a clean system shutdown before replacing system components to avoid losing unwritten data in the nonvolatile memory (NVMEM). The NVMEM LED is located on the controller module to the right of the network ports, marked with a battery symbol. If the NVMEM LED is flashing, there is content in the NVMEM that has not been saved to disk. You need to reboot the controller module and proceed from the beginning of this procedure. If repeated attempts to cleanly shut down the controller module fail, be aware that you might lose any data that was not saved to disk.

Appendix A. Recommended power line sizes

This appendix discusses how to determine the power line lengths running from your N series system to the power source.
Recommended AC power line sizes

Longer AC power feeds need to be properly designed to preserve voltage levels to the equipment. The wiring from the breaker panel to the power strip, which supplies power to your N6200 series system and storage expansion units, can often exceed 50 feet. Note: Total AC wire length = breaker to wall or ceiling outlet + extension cable or ceiling drop. The following table lists the recommended conductor size for 2% voltage drop for a particular distance in feet (taken from the Radio Engineer's Handbook).
