Follow the simple instructions in this guide, and inno time at all you will be part of the iSCSI revolution.Important Safety Information:Before you install the DSN-5xx0-10 primary array, please readall documentation provided on the Product CD.The DSN-5xx0-10 primary array is available in either single ordual controller configurations. The dual-controller systemsoffer automatic failover capability for High Availability in theevent of a controller failure. Each controller can have eitherfour (DSN-5110-10 and DSN-510) or eight (DSN-5210-10 andDSN-520) 1-GbE data ports or one (DSN-5410-10) 10-GbE dataport in each controller for iSCSI communication. Eachcontroller comes with 512 MB of system memory and 1 GB(DSN-5110-10 and DSN-510) or 2 GB (DSN-5210, DSN-520, DSN-5410-10, DSN-540) of buffer memory. The DSN-5xx0-10primary array can support a total of 4 GB of buffer memory.For systems with two controllers, both controllers must havethe same number and type of data ports, the same amount ofBuffer Memory, and the same version of software.1 Unpack the Package ContentsBefore unpacking, inspect the container for damage. If damageexists, file a claim with the carrier. Remove the items from thecontainer and compare them to the packing list: One DSN-5xx0-10 primary array (includes backplane, up to 12drive carriers with drive blanks, two power supplies, 48 drivecarrier screws holding drive blanks, and one canister filler plate) One controller with memory and battery in canisters, insertedinto the rear of the DSN-5xx0-10 primary array. One rack-mount kit in a box (includes rails, mounting hardware,and instructions) Six power cords, one RS-232 diagnostic cable, one DSN-5000Series Product CD. One set of packing materials and cartonsIf contents are missing or damaged please contact your supplier.Save all packing materials in case you have to return the unit.2 What Else You NeedTo complete the primary array installation, you need: A computer that will act as the iSCSI initiator (see step 7).Please refer to the D-Link Interoperability matrix at:http://www.dlink.com for tested operating systems, NetworkInterface Cards (NICs), Host Bus Adapters (HBAs), and networkinfrastructure. A static IP address and Category 6 or 5E (for 1-GbE) or fiberoptical (for 10-GbE) network cable for each DSN-5xx0 primaryarray data port that will connect to your SAN. XFP modules for optical connection (10-GbE systems only) Ethernet switch (1-GbE for DSN-5110-10 & DSN-5210-10, or 10-GbE for DSN-5410-10) required for dual-controller systems Independent AC power supply within 6 feet of the primary array Disk drives: refer to the DSN-5000 Series Hardware ReferenceGuide for disk drive installation Note: The DSN-5xx0-10 primary array can support SAS or SATAhard disk drives from a variety of manufacturers (48 for the DSN-5110-10 and 84 for the DSN-5210-10 & 5410-10). It is possible(but not recommended) to mix SAS and SATA drives in the samearray. Also, if you anticipate using dual controllers for HAoperation, SAS drives are required. Optional: In addition, a separate computer may be used as theManagement console (see Step 8) Optional, but recommended: Uninterruptible power supply3 Rack-Mount InstructionsThe DSN-5xx0-10 primary array can be mounted in a standard19-inch rack using the rack-mount kit provided with the DSN-5xx0 primary array.Note: The rack cabinet must provide sufficient airflow to thefront and rear of the DSN-5xx0-10 primary array for correctcooling. Ventilation must be sufficient to exhaust heat from therear of the equipment in the rack. Plan the rack installationwith the heaviest item on the bottom of rack.A. Ensure that power is not being applied to the DSN-5xx0primary array by removing the power cords before attachingthe mounting hardware provided to the left and right sidesof the rack supporting the DSN-5xx0-10 primary array.B. With the help of another person, slide the DSN-5xx0-10primary array into place (without drives installed) andsecure with the mounting hardware.4 Install the DSN-5xx0-10 Primary ArrayThe DSN-5xx0-10 primary array is a full iSCSI storage subsystem,with up to 12 SATA or SAS disks, and additional storage availablethrough add-on expansion arrays. Enclosure and drive carrier LEDsilluminate on the front of the unit, while interface ports, buttons,and LEDs for port speed, port activity, and status are at the rear.Note: Be sure that empty drive carriers are replaced by driveblanks in all drive slots that are not occupied by a drive.Rear View(DSN-5210-10 shown)Four or Eight 1-GbEiSCSI Data PortsRear Panel StatusLEDs and SwitchesTwo Expansion PortsOne Management PortFront ViewEnclosure LEDsDrive Carrier LEDs Drive CarrierPrimary Controller in Slot #0Redundant Controlleror Filler Plate in Slot #1s |
