I. Installation Notes

1, learning DS5000 service exercising (SEDS50001.pdf) start, the writing covers DS5K Products, hardware, compared with the DS4800, etc., after perusing the product will have a common comprehending; the document can GTS Knowledge DB download
---- MUST READ! ! In accordance with IBM standards, and absence of E-Learning training of engineers, will not have a job qualification! !

2, installation DS5K, be sure to strictly in accordance with the
http://www-947.ibm.com/systems/support/supportsite.wss/docdisplay?lndocid=MIGR-5077659&brandind=5000028
---- any hardware products because IBM, according to IBM descriptions because installation of lawful documents is a basic requirement for engineers.

3, DS5100 (1818-51A), DS5300 (1818-53A), EXP5000 (1818-D1A disk expansion cabinet) is a factory-installed by the IBM. EXP810 EXP5000 and see similar, in fact, there is a difference, EXP5000 the ESM microcode at fewest 98C1, whether you absence to EXP810 chained DS5100/5300, the EXP810 ESM must heave to 98C1 or more microcode. The ESM EXP5000 EXP810 the FRU and not different from Sub.

4, if we find IR only 1818-51A/53A, not 1818-D1A, that customers may be planned with EXP810. Then if the EXP810 ESM microcode than 98C1, DS5K may not acknowledge the disk expansion cabinet. TSG need to find help to determine open PMH.

5, DS5000 configuration in a single can merely do with EXP5000, DS5000 EXP5000 head before the basic cabinet must not be connected single turn, or may lose license, and the EXP5000 to plug at least 2 disks.

6, the chief cupboard and expansion cabinets joined apt refer installation manual. There are many reference instance.
4 per controller
8 Drive Port, the articulation means is
the first four extension counters: 8 -> 1, 6 -> 3, 4 -> 5, 2 -> 7
After the cabinet expansion
4: 7 -> 2, 5 -> 4, 3 -> 6, 1 -> 8
CNTL-A to 8 to 1 with CNTL-B port, and so on. . .

7,GHD Pink Limited Edition, DS5100's NVSRAM version of the problem and recommended microcode version
recently base that many DS5100 in the coming period, factory-installed Firmware is 07.30.21.00, NVSRAM edition is N1818D53R1030V0B
This version is wrong,GHD Classic Straighteners, is used to the DS5300. If you detect such a location, there should be a detach brush to the NVSRAM N1818D51R1030V0B.
the retinue correspondence among the right:
DS5100: 07.30.21.00 N1818D51R1030V0B
DS5300: 07.30.21.00 N1818D53R1030V0B

all fashionable installations and the recently completed installation of the DS5000, it is highly recommended to upgrade to the latest microcode new recommended version! ! !

8,GHD Purple Straighteners, DS5K shutdown or power failure, the battery will advocate the Cache in the file written to Flash; This is different DS4800, DS4800 power, the battery will support the Cache 72 hours, until the battery runs out. Because of this distinction, DS5K shutdown process takes longer, approximately 3-5 minutes, shut down, the power light will off.
reception the power button off the DS5000 later the lights go out by always power have to not be carried out before anyone action! ! !

9, installed after the end, we must lead the customer to the right switch, the main cabinet and expansion of the switch cabinet order.
because a lot of CIE or the inexplicable case are erroneous by the customer or BP's switch the order of misuse occasioned by non-standard. Special care to this point.
--- _ best customers can speedily use the version of conservation manuals to the purchaser and the BP integration of multiple providers, so that we can rub points fewer ass.

10, Controller Host Port discretion.
for Port 1 / 2 a share a control chip, Port 3 / 4 is the same, so if only 2 port, it is recommended to select the Port 1 and Port 3, secluded to a different control piece. If there are a Host Interface Card, you should use the Host Port isolated to a different Host Interface Card on.


Second, the maximum general installation problems left:

1. engineers in power before the switch rate of EXP5000 did not buffet the 4GB
EXP5000 default is the rate alternate is 2GB, merely engineers in power before, did not go to check the rate of expansion of cabinet and steer the deal alternate is the rate on the label match.
orders in accordance with the present, EXP5000 basically turn with fifteen thousand 4GB fiber optic record.
Special Note: If equipped with a SATA disk is 3GB, the rate switches ought be playing in the 4GB. SATA disks tin likewise suggest sprinting ashore 4GB rate
Profile Errors examples are as usual:
TRAY, SLOT STATUS CAPACITY TYPE CURRENT DATA RATE PRODUCT ID FIRMWARE VERSION
0, 2 Optimal 279.397 GB Fibre 2 Gbps HUS1545300FC ; JG03
rate of alteration EXP5000 EXP5000 to the afterward switch to electricity.

2. engineers in the installation process, did not activate additional buy Storage Partition (arsenal partition) License
DS5000 default is standard 2 Storage Partition (storage partition) License. But the factory orders, it will enforce additional purchase at least 8 Storage Partition (storage partition) of the License. Therefore,GHD Midnight Gift Set 2011, the time during unpacking DS5000, accessories box, there must be a record and the Feature Activation Code of A4 paper, which is the additional purchase of Storage Partition (pail) License certificate and activation. Engineers must go below the Feature Activation Code License Key document the following Web site, and then activated by SM.

Profile Errors examples are as follows:
MAPPINGS (Storage Partitioning - Enabled (0 of 2 used ))-------------------

3. engineers did not go to upgrade the microcode DDM

4. For more than distend cabinet with DS5000, EXP5000 engineers did not put for much for possible the delivery to more than an loop inside.
DS5000 has a total of 4 on Channel 8 Circle
4 per controller
8 Drive Port, the connection method is
the first four extension counters: 8 -> 1, 6 -> 3, 4 -> 5, 2 -> 7
After the cabinet expansion
4: 7 -> 2, 5 -> 4, 3 -> 6, 1 -> 8
CNTL-A to 8 to 1 with CNTL-B port, and so on. . .
special attention: in rigid accordance with the above connection method, all feasible extensions to counters, situated in different Channel and circulate


5. DS5000 controller cache Cache Upgrade Notes:

If the current controller is the standard
Cache size is 4GB, then the match will have a 4GB of USB Flash (Cache Backup Device) installed in the controller Connector 3 position;

(this and Cache / USB Flash upgrade replacement of the document is incongruous,GHD Red Butterfly 2011, it should be typos in the document)

If the current controller is the standard
Cache size is 8GB,GHD MK4 Gold Straighteners, then the match will have 2 4GB of USB Flash (Cache Backup Device) Connector 3 installed in the controller and the position of Connector 4;
other words, if the Cache Controller to upgrade from 4GB to 8GB, in adding to addition the four 1GB of memories, we should also join a new 4GB of USB Flash (Cache Backup Device) installed in the master Connector 4 location.
