Hitachi AMS 2500 Getting Started Guide

Preparing for Installation

1. Prepare the Site

Planning the proper location and layout of the Hitachi AMS 2500 storage unit

is essential for its successful operation. The site where you install the

storage unit can affect its performance. For example, equipment placed too

close together or in an inadequately ventilated area can cause over-

temperature conditions. In addition, poor equipment placement can make

the rear panel inaccessible.

To ensure normal operation and avoid unnecessary maintenance, plan your

site configuration and prepare your site before installation. The site you

choose for the Hitachi AMS 2500 storage unit should:

• Be fairly cool and dry for the acceptable temperature and humidity

ranges:

• Maximum temperature: 104º F (40ºC)

• Relative humidity (non-condensing): 8% to 80%

• Be free of strong electromagnetic field generators (such as motors),

vibration, dust, and direct exposure to sunlight.

• Provide a sturdy, level surface that can support the unit. A fully

populated unit weighs approximately 4,686 lbs. (2,130 kg.).

• Be within six feet (1.82 meters) of a power outlet.

• Allow for at least six inches (152.3 mm) of space at the front and back

of the array for ventilation.

• Not place the unit next to, on top off, or below any device that

generates heat or will block the fee flow of air through the unit’s

ventilation slots.

Figure 1-1 on page 1-4 shows the installation and service clearance area for

the Hitachi AMS 2500. Measurements shown are in millimeters. For more

information about selecting a location, refer to the Hitachi AMS 2500

Storage System User’s Guide (MK-97DF8007).

2. Unpack Items

a. Inspect all shipping cartons for signs of damage. If you see damage,

contact the shipper.

b. Loosen the band around the cartons and open all cartons.

c. Remove all accessory boxes, packing materials, and envelopes from

the cartons.

d. Have at least three people remove the base unit and any expansion

units.

e. Open and remove the bag in which the base unit is enclosed. Repeat

this step for any expansion units you may have ordered.

f. Compare the items received to the packing list. If any items are

missing or damaged, contact the shipper immediately.

CAUTION! Observe all safety guidelines in the following documents:

•Hitachi AMS 2500 Storage System User’s Guide (MK-97DF8007)

• The documentation for your rack

To avoid damage to the storage unit or storage unit components due to

electrostatic discharge (ESD), wear an anti-static wrist strap when handling

the storage unit. Connect the clip to an unpainted part of the storage unit

chassis frame to safely channel any static electricity generated by your body

to ground. If no wrist strap is available, ground yourself by touching an

unpainted part of the storage unit chassis frame.

Hitachi AMS 2500 Getting Started Guide

5. Install Drives

Drives are preinstalled. To install additional drives:

a. Wear an anti-static wrist strap connected to the chassis of the base

or expansion unit.

b. Place a finger under the blue lever at the top of the drive tray. Then

gently pull the lever forward.

c. Holding the lever, gently pull the drive tray toward you until the tray

is about half way out of the slot.

d. Hold the top and bottom of the drive tray and remove it from the

unit.

e. If the slot where the drive is to be installed has a filler, remove the

filler.

f. Orient the new drive so the gold edge connectors on the rear of the

drive are at the rear of the drive tray and the label on the drive faces

the right.

g. Insert the drive into the rear of the drive tray and slide the drive

forward until the 3 rectangular hooks on the drive (2 on top and 1 on

the bottom) enter the rectangular holes on the top and bottom of the

drive tray.

h. Place the drive on the slot’s guide rail, then gently slide the drive into

the slot (shown by the arrow in Figure 1-4 on page 1-8). Stop

pushing when the blue lever at the top of the drive tray starts to rise.

i. Secure the drive tray in the unit by pushing the blue lever to the top

until the lever snaps into place.

j. To install additional drives, repeat steps C through I.

Figure 1-4: Installing a Drive or Drive Filler

NOTE: Drive slots that do not have a drive must have a filler. If a slot does

not have a filler installed, insert a filler into the slot. Insert the filler slowly,

so the latch (round dent) on the filler moves to the right.
