Planning overview
This section provides an overview of the planning requirements for EMC® Disk Library for
mainframe (DLm) installation. It reviews EMC's responsibilities and outlines your
responsibilities as a DLm user.
Note
Inform EMC of any labor union-based restrictions or security clearance requirements prior
to delivery
The DLm systems must be installed in a properly equipped computer room with
controlled temperature and humidity, proper airflow and ventilation, proper power and
grounding, system cable routing facilities, fire equipment, and so on. A raised floor is
recommended, although it is not required. One or more planning sessions with your EMC
Systems Engineer and EMC Customer Support Representative will be necessary to close
all the details related to installation. The table below lists the responsibility summary at
the first planning session.

Install a properly working system.
DLm system presite considerations

When planning the installation site for your DLm system, meet with your EMC
representative to complete the presite plan.
Physical specifications
Chapter 3, “Physical and Environmental Specifications,” on page 21 provides overall
system dimensions for the DLm systems.
General considerations
Before installing the DLm system at your site, consider these factors:
u Weight capacities of the service elevator if delivery is to another floor
u Availability of an equipment ramp if the receiving floor is not on the same level as the
computer room floor.
Physical Planning
Note
All portions of the bay should clear ramp and threshold slopes up to 1:10 (rise to run
ratio), per Code of Federal Regulations – ADA Standards for Accessible Design, 28
CFR Part 36.
u Weight capacities of the loading dock
u Weight capacities of the tailgate
Other requirements are:
u Appropriate floor covering for protection
u Direct dial-up phone line (for remote support) within 6 ft (two meters) of the unit
u Hardware power requirements
Chapter 4, “Power Requirements,” on page 31 specifies the power requirements for
the DLm bays.
Transportation and delivery guidelines

Mode of transport guidelines:
u For a DLm system delivered within the United States or Canada, EMC recommends an
air-ride truck. The DLm system is wrapped in custom-designed shipping material,
crated, and palletized.
u For a DLm system delivered internationally, EMC recommends shipment by air freight.
Unless otherwise instructed, the EMC Traffic Department arranges for delivery directly
to the customer’s computer room.
To ensure successful delivery of DLm systems, EMC has formed partnerships with
specially selected moving companies. These companies have moving professionals
trained to properly handle large, sensitive systems. These companies provide the
appropriate personnel, floor layouts, and any ancillary moving equipment required to
facilitate delivery.
Pre-installation considerations
Install the DLm in a properly equipped and well-ventilated computer room.
Environmental specifications
DLm requires the environmental specifications outlined in “Environmental
specifications” on page 23. Ensure that the site meets or exceeds the specifications
listed for both raised and non-raised floor environments.
System host cabling requirements

The Presite Survey, completed with the EMC Systems Engineer, reports the Fibre
connection (FICON) cable length required for each host connection to the DLm. From a
physical planning perspective, review the routing paths from the hosts to the DLm
system. Resolve any physical access issues before the installation day.
Layout and space recommendations

Layout and space considerations are described in “System placement” on page 28.
Transportation and delivery guidelines 15

Physical Planning
CAUTION
When moving the DLm bays down an incline, the rear of the bay must go first and when
moving up an incline, the rear of the bay must go last.
Remote support
Remote support is an important and integral part of the EMC customer service and
support strategy. Communication between the EMC Customer Support Center and the
DLm occurs either through IP connections to the customer's local area network, or
through the external serial modem connected to the DLm, which requires customers to
provide one dedicated phone line for the modem. You can move phone lines between
modems connected to the Management VTEs and Control Stations as needed.
Note
EMC recommends that you provide one dedicated phone line for the DLm system to
enable ConnectEMC call-homes.
DLm supports one modem in each of its Management VTEs and Control Stations.
“Modems” on page 19 section provides more information about the modems DLm8100
supports.
EMC Secure Remote Support

DLm 4.0 and later supports EMC Secure Remote Support (ESRS) Gateway that provides a
secure, IP-based, distributed remote service support solution giving you command,
control, and visibility of remote support access.
Contact EMC Customer Support to configure ESRS. This is an optional feature.
Planning for upgrades

When planning for upgrades, consider space, power, and environmental concerns.
CHAPTER 2
System Configuration and Host Connectivity
This chapter covers the configuration and host connectivity details of the DLm system.

System Configuration and Host Connectivity 17

DLm8100 overview
A DLm8100 configuration is composed of a VTEC bay, up to two VNX bays, up to two Data
Domain bays (DD890 or DD990), and up to 10 VNX storage bays.
DLm supports DAEs with 2 TB drives.
CAUTION
The DLm8100 VTEC, VNX, Data Domain, and VNX storage bay equipment enclosures and
power systems are designed to support DLm8100 system equipment only. EMC does not
support any other components in these bays, and recommends that you do not install
any additional equipment in the DLm8100 bays.
VTEC bay
The DLm8100 VTEC bay contains:
u Two to six VTEs including two management VTEs
u Two 10 GbE switches
u Two 1 GbE switches
The DLm VTEC bay has two power zones with independent power cables—one for each
side, capable of powering the fully configured bay.
Note
Channel extenders are not supported.
VNX bay
The DLm8100 VNX bay contains:
u One network server (VNX7500) and integrated storage arrays with:
l Two to eight storage controllers (Data Movers)
l Two Control Stations
l Two storage processors—SPA and SPB
l Dual standby power supplies
u Up to nine DAEs
The DLm8100 VNX bay has four power zones with independent power cables—one for
each side, capable of powering a fully configured bay.
Note
The DLm8100 VNX bay needs 2 power drops if the VNX bay has up to 7 Data Movers and
4 power drops if it contains 8 Data Movers.
Chapter 4, “Power Requirements” on page 31 contains specifications for DLm power

requirements.
VNX storage bay

The DLm8100 storage bay is configured with up to 13 storage DAEs.
The storage bay normally connects to two power zones through two connectors.
Data Domain bay

DLm8100 can have either a DD890 or a DD990 backend. The Data Domain bay contains:
u One DD controller
u ES30 enclosures:
For new DLm 4.0 with Data Domain shipped from the factory—2 to 6 ES30 enclosures
containing 2 TB drives per DD890/DD990.
Each enclosure can accommodate fifteen 2 TB drives.
u Two power drops
DAE
Each storage DAE includes:
u Fifteen 2 TB SAS disk drives
u Two LCCs
u Redundant power supplies
The boot DAE includes:
u Four SAS drives
u Two LCCs
u Redundant power supplies
u Two power drops for maximum configuration
Modems
DLm8100 is shipped with a minimum of two modems. Each Management VTE supports a
modem.
In addition, DLm8100 systems with unified file storage (VNX) can support two or four
more modems depending on the number of VNX7500 network servers attached. Each
VNX network server supports two Control Stations and each Control Station supports a
modem. So a DLm8100 system with two VNX7500 network servers supports six modems.
The DD890/DD990 does not need a modem and is therefore not shipped with one.

Physical data
This section provides the physical data requirements for DLm systems.
DLm8100
DLm8100 has a maximum configuration of one VTEC bay, two VNX bays, 10 VNX storage
bays, and two DD890 or DD990 bays.
When fully configured, the weight of each bay is:
u VTEC bay—925 lb (396.89 kg)
u VNX7500 bay—1345 lb (610.08 kg)
u VNX storage bay—1270 lb (576.06 kg)
u DD890/DD990 bay—1270 lb (576.06 kg)
Despite the differences in weight, the physical dimensions of all the bays are the same.
The below table lists the physical specifications for DLm.

a. With trim kit (optional) attached.
External network and phone line requirements
DLm8100
DLm8100 has two Management VTEs. Each Management VTE has two 1 GbE ports (for
redundancy) which should be connected to your organization's network. It is
recommended that one port from each Management VTE is connected to one network
switch and the other two ports are connected to another network switch. This ensures
that failure of one switch does not affect Management VTE connectivity.
The cables to connect these ports to your network are not supplied with DLm. Therefore,
you should provide four network cables to connect the Management VTE to your network.
In addition to these cables, the customer is also required to provide network cables for
each VNX and DD replication connection. The number of cables required depends on the
number of data movers and the number of Data Domain systems. Each data mover has 8
ports to choose from for replication: 4x1 GbE copper ports and 4x1 GbE fiber ports.
Similarly each Data Domain system can have 2 to 4 ports for replication.
DLm8100 provides modems as an optional mechanism for calling home and remote
access. (The preferred mechanism is to use ConnectEMC/ESRS.) DLm8100 has at least
two modems - one for each Management VTE. You will need to provide phone lines for
these modems. Each VNX also has two modems. If DLm8100 has one VNX, you might
need to provide two additional phone lines; if it has two VNX systems, you might need to
provide four additional phone lines.
The below table lists the external network and phone line requirements for DLm8100.

When planning the placement of DLm8100, note the following:
u Both VNX bays are cabled to the VTEC bay using 8-meter 1 GbE cables and 10-meter
fiber optic 10 GbE cables. The VNX bays can be up to five bays away from the VTEC
bay, with the cabling under a raised floor.
u The first storage bay of a VNX7500 is connected to its VNX bay using a 5-meter 4 Gb
SFP to HSSDC2 cable. The first storage bay can be up to two bays away from its VNX
bay.
u Other storage bays are daisy chained together using 8-meter cables and can be up to
five bays away from its VNX bay with cabling under a raised floor.
u The Data Domain bay is cabled to the VTEC bay using 8-meter GbE cables and 10-
meter fiber optic 10 GbE cables. The Data Domain bays can be up to five bays away
from the VTEC bay with the cabling under a raised floor.
Anti-tip and anti-move brackets

If you intend to secure additional stabilizer brackets to your site floor, prepare the
location for the mounting bolts. (The additional brackets help to prevent the cabinet from
tipping while you service cantilevered levels.) The brackets provide two levels of
protection for stabilizing the unit:
u Anti-tip bracket—Use this bracket to provide an extra measure of anti-tip security.
One or two kits can be used. For cabinets with sliding components, two kits are
recommended.

If your system will be secured by one or more of these anti-tip brackets, ensure that the
cabinet is in its final location before attaching them. Use the supplied bolts and
mounting holes to fasten the bracket to the cabinet and floor. (The additional brackets
help to prevent the cabinet from tipping while you service devices on slide rails.)
Note
The Data Domain bay requires the anti-tip brackets to be installed.
The 40U-C Cabinet Unpacking and Setup Guide provides information about installing the
anti-tip and anti-move brackets.

Before delivery, the customer must supply and install the required receptacles to zone A
and zone B power for the DLm bays. The below figure shows the required power cabling
for DLm8100 systems.
Power Requirements
Figure 8 Power distribution cabling — DLm8100
Single-phase power extension cords and connectors

Each DLm bay has four single-phase Power Distribution Panel (PDP) assemblies and four
Power Distribution Units (PDU).
The following bays require two power drops each:
u VTEC bay
u VNX bay with 1 to 7 Data Movers
u VNX storage bays
u Data Domain bays
For these bays, the upper PDUs are cabled to the lower PDPs in manufacturing.
A VNX bay with 8 Data Movers requires four power drops.
VNX bays that are shipped with eight Data Movers are configured as required during
initial setup. If it is shipped with less than eight Data Movers and you want to add more
to reach eight Data Movers (assuming the VNX bay has 9 DAEs), contact EMC Customer
Service for power requirement changes.
Regardless of the number of power drops required, each DLm bay comes with a DLm
power kit that includes two 15-ft power cords and two 21-ft power cords. Assuming a
raised floor setup, the 21-ft cords are used with the two upper PDPs, and the 15-ft cords
are used with the two lower PDPs.
The below figure shows extension cables for North American installations. Connector
L6-30R connects to the DLm bay connector L6-30P. Connector L6-30P on the other end of
cable connects to a customer-supplied L6-30R. EMC provides similar cable sets with
appropriate wiring and couplers for all supported international installations.

DLm touch current compliance

DLm is designated as a fixed (stationary) electrical equipment with high earth-leakage
markings. Connect the cabinets to the customer AC supply with the recommended rated
current breakers and the attached cables. “DLm power requirements” on page 32
provides details of the recommended circuit breaker ratings. These recommended
breaker ratings are based on the maximum kW loading of the cabinet and not on the kVA
figures of a particular configuration. The kVA values listed in this manual are intended for
air conditioning and utility loading purposes only. “Power and cooling data” on page
25contains detailed information.
DLm touch current compliance 35

Power Requirements
CAUTION
Do not connect the DLm VTEC bay power supplies on separate Main and Auxiliary circuit
panels to differential trip devices. These devices are typically called Ground Fault Circuit
Interrupter (GFCI), Ground Fault Interrupter (GFI), Earth Leakage Circuit Breaker (ELCB), or
Residual Current Circuit Breakers.
Because DLm systems are high earth-leakage devices, differential trip devices (typically
30 mA) are not recommended due to random activation during utility feed distortions and
power line transients interacting with the cabinet noise filters. These differential devices
have trip ratings of 5 mA to 500 mA and are mostly intended for consumer goods rather
than fixed devices.
If the DLm cabinet is correctly grounded to the customer’s AC power source, leakage
current will not produce a voltage leading to electrical shock. Serious insulation
breakdowns will trip the breakers feeding the cabinet or, preferably first clear fuses in
individual internal modules closest to the fault.
Regulatory compliance
DLm meets regulatory requirements as referenced by the following UL/IEC/EN 60950 3rd
Edition:
5.1.7 Equipment with touch (leakage) current exceeding 3.5mA.
For Stationary Permanently Connected Equipment, or Stationary Pluggable Equipment
Type B, having a main protective earthing terminal, if the Touch (Leakage) Current
measurements exceed 3.5mA r.m.s., following conditions apply:
u The r.m.s. Protective Conductor Current will not exceed five percent of the input
current per line under normal operating conditions. If the load is unbalanced, the
largest of the single-phase currents shall be used for this calculation.
To measure the Protective Conductor Current, the procedure for measuring Touch
Current is used, but the measuring instrument is replaced by an ammeter of negligible
impedance.
u The cross-sectional area of the Protective Bonding Conductor will not be less than 1.0
mm squared in the path of high Protective Conductor Current.
u A label with similar wording shall be affixed adjacent to the equipment AC MAINS
SUPPLY connection:
HIGH LEAKAGE CURRENT

Earth connection essential
before connecting supply.
The DLm configurations are Stationary Pluggable Type B systems, and the application of
the warning label, EMC P/N 046-000-309, are in English and French. The label location
for the DLm configuration is on the inside of the front door.
Choosing a UPS
The VTEC and Storage Controllers (Data Movers) are stateless, so no battery backup is
required. In the event of a power failure, the Storage Processor writes contents of the
write cache to disk, before shutdown. Although DLm does not require a battery backup to
Power Requirements
ensure data integrity, to avoid potential downtime, purchase a UPS from a qualified
vendor.
EMC neither offers nor recommends any specific UPS suppliers or product type to its
customers. However, EMC uses preferred suppliers for UPS systems in their facilities.
Therefore, if you, the customer, are implementing a UPS, EMC recommends the following:
u When you are planning the UPS solution for a DLm and the host system is presently
(or will potentially be) protected with a UPS, the battery backup time you propose for
the DLm UPS solution should match that of the host system.
u The DLm requires independent zone B and zone A power feeds for each bay.
u The UPS should be equipped with an internal output isolation transformer.
u The UPS should be installed as a separately derived AC source using neutral and
ground wiring to preserve the fault tolerance specification of the DLm power system.
u Depending on the power requirements for your DLm system operation, an isolation
transformer/stabilizer installed in front of the UPS could further buffer the AC utility
environmental factors from reaching DLm. To determine if an isolation transformer/
stabilizer is needed, consult a licensed electrician.
