Checking customer preparations

Record the stop date and time for the Check Customer Preparation through Safety
Checks phase in Table 3 on page 2, “Recording information for the install report” on
page 1.
1. Verify that the customer has two AC power sources for each rack in the 2107
storage facility.
For maximum fault tolerance, use two separate AC power sources.
Note: The 2107 is designed for connection to an IT power distribution system.

In an IT power distribution system, the neutral conductor is isolated from
Chapter 1. Installing the 2107 Model 92X/9AX 3

earth (ground) by an impedance with exposed conductive parts in the
installation that is tied directly to earth.
No service representative action is needed. Information is for compliance

with International Electrotechnical Commission Standard 950 for the
safety of information technology equipment and electrical business
equipment.
2. If the 2107 will be installed on a raised floor, review the weight of each rack with
the customer to verify that their raised floors have adequate support. An
individual 2107 rack, fully configured can weigh a maximum of 2880 pounds
(1307 kilograms). For details on the 2107 rack weights, refer to IBM
TotalStorage DS8000 Introduction and Planning Guide.
3. If the 2107 will be installed on a raised floor, to correctly cool a 2107, place two
floor tiles, that have holes for air flow, directly in the front and the rear of each
2107 rack (for a total of 4). Also provide tiles with holes, for cable entry, under
the rear tailgate.
If the 2107 will not be installed on a raised floor, ensure the customer will
provide adequate air flow and temperature around the 2107.
Notes:
a. Refer to the IBM TotalStorage DS8000 Introduction and Planning
Guide for information about the temperature operating environment
requirements.
b. The 2107 rack cooling airflow enters through the front and rear
covers and exits through the top and rear covers. The bottom of the
2107 is sealed.
4. Verify that the customer has ordered and supplied the following:
a. ESCON host cables from the host to the 2107 host adapters.
b. Fibre host cables from the host to the 2107 host adapters.
c. An Ethernet LAN signal cable. This cable is required to connect the
management console to the customer LAN.
d. A functional analog telephone line to the hardware management console
(also referred to as HMC and management console) within 2.5 meters (8
feet) of the management console.
e. AC service for the service provider laptop within 2.5 meters (8 feet) of the
2107.
f. AC service outlet for each component of an external management console.
Checking communications worksheets

Verify that the customer has provided a completed copy of the 2107
Communications Resources worksheet. Refer to the IBM TotalStorage DS8000
Introduction and Planning Guide.
Checking for required microcode

Determine if there is a required level of microcode available for your 2107 or
management console. For IBM personnel, go to DS8000 - 2107 Engineering Web
site (https://ssgtech4.sanjose.ibm.com/PFE/Squadrons-
S%20PE%20Support.nsf/WVhome). For non-IBM personnel, follow the established
process to determine the required code level.

When the web site defines a code level as “required”, it means that the Storage
Facility must not be transferred over to the customer without the indicated code
level installed.
When the web site defines a code level as “recommended”, it means the IBM
service representative can either:
v Give the Storage Facility to the customer when the installation is complete.
v Negotiate with the customer for a more convenient time to update the microcode.
Checking RETAIN for 2107 installation tips

1. Sign on to RETAIN.
2. Select HSF.
3. Search for 2107 Install (p;2107 Install). RETAIN may have information that
corrects problems that are not yet addressed by the install instructions.
Checking for RETAIN registration

If you are installing the first 2107 storage facility in the storage plex, sign on to
RETAIN and check that the 2107 that contains the management console is
registered.
1. Enter n;z/cpu 2107PPSSSSS where PP is the plant of manufacture and SSSSS is
the last 5 digits of the serial number. You can find the serial number label on the
2107 rack 1 operator panel beneath the red UEPO switch.
2. If the command output returns ’UNKNOWN CPU SPECIFIED’, ask the support
center to register the 2107
Unpacking the 2107 subsystem and verifying the ship group is

complete
1. Remove the CE Unpacking Instructions from the CE envelope taped to the front
of the bagged 2107. Use the CE Unpacking Instructions to unpack the 2107
frame(s) and prepare it for installation.
Note: To ensure that each CEC enclosure cools properly, remove the orange
shipping bracket from the rear of each CEC enclosure. The brackets can
be discarded.
2. Verify that all items in the ship group were received. See the parts list B/Ms in
the ship group box.
3. Place the ship group parts list in the storage box (front upper left of rack 1) for
use during future removal of the 2107.
Inspecting for shipping damage

1. Inspect the 2107 for any damage that might have occurred during shipping.
2. If you observe shipping damage or missing items, do not install the 2107
without IBM management approval. Report all observed damage immediately,
following existing procedures.

Checks phase in Table 3 on page 2, “Recording information for the install report” on
page 1.
Record the start date and time for the HMC Initial Configuration phase in Table 3 on
page 2, “Recording information for the install report” on page 1.
1. Review the following information for an overview of a storage plex and
management console HMC-1 versus HMC-2:
a. A storage plex is one or more 2107 storage facilities that share one or two
management consoles (HMCs).
b. The 2107 storage facilities in a storage plex have Ethernet cables that
connect their internal rack mounted Ethernet switches together into a private
network.
c. The first HMC for a storage plex MUST BE assigned the role of primary
management console (HMC-1).
d. HMC-1 runs a DHCP server to assign the IP addresses on the private
networks (gray and black). It also collects and maintains all information
about the storage complex hardware and code.
e. If there is a second HMC for the same storage plex, it MUST BE assigned
the role of secondary management console (HMC-2).

f. The secondary HMC can be:
v an external HMC installed in an IBM or customer-provided utility rack that
is cabled to the same storage complex
v an internal HMC in a 2107 storage facility that is part of the same storage
complex
g. HMC-2 does not run a DHCP server. Instead, it operates in a peer-to-peer
domain with HMC-1 and gets the private network IP address as well as
information about the storage complex hardware and code from HMC-1.
h. HMC-1 must be completely installed and configured before HMC-2 can be
connected to the private network. This ensures HMC-2 gets a complete
copy of all the needed information from HMC-1.
i. If two 2107 storage facilities each having an internal HMC are being installed
at the same time:
v The first 2107 storage facility in the storage plex must have the primary
management console (HMC-1)
v The other 2107 storage facility must have the secondary management
console (HMC-2)
v The install of the second 2107 storage facility will have to wait until the
install of the first 2107 storage facility has completed the section titled
“Testing of management console communications”. This will ensure HMC-1
is completely configured and ready to provide a copy of its information to
HMC-2 when it is connected into the storage plex.
2. If you are:
v Installing the first 2107 storage facility in a storage plex, go to Table 12.
v Adding a 2107 Storage Facility to an existing storage plex, go to Table 13.

Connecting a new storage facility to an existing storage plex

This section provides the additional steps to connect a new storage facility to an
existing storage plex.
Attention: If you are installing multiple storage facilities at the same time, you
must completely perform this section and the “Powering on and verifying the
storage facility” on page 57 section on one storage facility before connecting the
next storage facility. Connect only one new storage facility at a time.

1. Assign an SF number to the new storage facility, that must be the first free
unassigned SF number (2-8) in an ascending order. The first free SF number
can be determined by observing the Ethernet switches in the storage facility that
houses the primary management console. Refer to Figure 46 and Table 16 to
find the first unused SF position.
Note:
a. If gaps are left in the sequence due to SFs being removed from the
storage plex they become free for allocation and must be used first.
b. The management console microcode will assign the SF number
based on the above rules. This must match the cable plugging.

Chapter 3. Installing weight reduction feature FC 0200
With Feature Code 0200, components were removed and shipped on separate
pallets to reduce the shipping weight required at the customer’s account. These
instructions describe how to:
v Reinstall the battery modules in their original locations in the battery module
chassis.
v Reinstall the storage enclosures in their original locations in the 2107 subsystem.
Attention: The 2107 retains configuration information that was established during
manufacture. If all components are not reinstalled into their original
locations, significant problems will result.
CAUTION: The weight of a fully populated storage enclosure exceeds the safe
lifting limit for one service representative. Installation of this feature
requires two service representatives.
To determine the estimated weight of a rack, use Table 25.

| Table 25. Rack weight (estimated) after all shipping materials have been removed
| Rack weight Rack weight
| without FC 0200 with FC 0200
| (non-reduced weight) (reduced weight)
| Rack model (see Notes below) (see Notes below)
| 921 1243 kg (2740 lbs) 934 kg (2060 lbs)
| 922, 9A2 1313 kg (2895 lbs) 950 kg (2095 lbs)
| 92E, 9AE
| with FC 1300 1338 kg (2950 lbs) 776 kg (1710 lbs)
| (four I/O enclosures)
| without FC 1300 1089 kg (2400 lbs) 689 kg (1520 lbs)
| (no I/O enclosures)
|
Note:
1. If the shipping materials are still in place on the rack, add the following
weight:
v Carton pkg adds 115 kg (250 lbs)
v Crated pkg adds 140 kg (310 lbs)
v Crated pkg w/desiccant/barrier bag adds 147 kg (325 lbs)
2. The estimated weights assume that both primary power supplies (PPSs)
in the rack contain booster modules. (From the rear of the rack, a
booster module if present is at the top of the PPS in the horizontal
orientation.) If booster modules are not present, subtract 11kg (25 lbs)
from the rack weight.
