Before you begin

Read this information before beginning your installation.

Before you begin your installation, print and complete a Configuration worksheet for your storage system

to gather the information that the software setup process requires. The configuration worksheet is

provided in the Data ONTAP Software Setup Guide for your version of Data ONTAP, which is available on

the IBM®System Storage®N series support website:

www.ibm.com/storage/support/nseries

If you are configuring a storage system as part of a high-availability (or active/active) configuration,

some information types must be unique for each storage system mode in the configuration, and some

information types must be identical on both storage system nodes. If you have a high-availability (or

active/active) configuration, IBM recommends that you print and complete two copies of the

configuration worksheet, one for each system node.

Note: In the Data ONTAP 7.2 and 7.3 release families, the term active/active configuration (or active/active

pair) refers to a pair of storage systems or gateways (sometimes called nodes or controller modules)

configured to serve data for each other if one of the two systems stops functioning. In the Data ONTAP

8.x7-Mode release family, this functionality is referred to as a high-availability (HA) configuration or an HA

pair.

About this document

This document provides installation and setup instructions for the IBM System Storage N3400 storage

system. Additional information about the N3400 can be found in the IBM System Storage N3300, N3400,

and N3600 Hardware and Service Guide.

Additional information about the N series storage expansion units you connect to your N3400 series

system can be found in the Hardware and Service Guides and the Installation and Setup Instructions for your

storage expansion units.

For additional information about N series systems and related topics, refer to the following resources.

vIBM System Storage N series Introduction and Planning Guide

vIBM Environmental Notices and User Guide

vIBM System Storage N series support website at www.ibm.com/storage/support/nseries

Items supplied by you for the installation

You need to supply the following items to complete the installation:

vEthernet LAN cables

vFibre Channel (FC) cables

vConsole (for example, a PC or laptop)

v#2 Phillips screwdriver and slotted screwdriver

vPointed tool for setting termination and ID switches

Important: The following instructions are for a basic configuration with onboard ports set to initiator

mode.

Installing in a non-IBM rack

The rack installation instructions provided in this document apply specifically to the installation of the N

series product in an IBM 19-inch rack. IBM service personnel cannot install the N series product in a

non-IBM rack.

If the N series product is being installed in a non-IBM rack, the rails shipped with the N series product

may or may not work with the non-IBM rack. Physical installation of the N series product in a non-IBM

rack is the customer's responsibility.

Installation and setup instructions

Use these instructions to install and set up your N3400 storage system.

Unpacking the N3400

Use these instructions to unpack the N3400.

Important: If your system was shipped already assembled and cabled in a rack, go directly to “Setting

up and booting the system” on page 18.

Notes:

vThe contents of the box will differ depending on the model you purchased. See step 2 on page 2 for a

list of contents for specific models.

vSmall Form Factor Pluggable (SFP) modules are either in the accessory box or are installed in the fiber

ports of the system unit.

DANGER

To avoid hazardous conditions due to uneven mechanical loading, always install the heaviest

devices in the bottom of the rack cabinet. Always install servers and optional devices starting from

the bottom of the rack cabinet. (R001 part 1 of 2)

vWhen installing storage expansion units in a rack, do not exceed the maximum storage limit for your

system.

vMake sure that the ID on the back panel of each storage expansion unit matches the ID specified on its

label.

vAlways install the storage expansion units fully loaded. Do not remove disk drives to reduce the

weight.

1. Loosen (but do not remove) the four rail adjustment screws on each rail. See Figure 2.

2. Refer to Figure 3 on page 4. At the front of the rack, position the right-hand rail into the rack at the

appropriate EIA location. Make sure that the two locating pins seat properly in holes H3 and H4. The

bottom of the rail should line up with the bottom EIA boundary.

Figure 2. Installing the rails

Installation and setup instructions 3

Note: When installed, each N3400 will occupy a 2U space.

Using one silver pan head M5 screw, attach the rail to the front of the rack using hole H6. Tighten this

screw with a screwdriver.

3. At the rear of the rack, position the rail at the same EIA location used in step 2. Make sure that the

locating pins seat properly in holes H3 and H4. Using two silver pan head M5 screws, attach the rail

to the rack using holes H2 and H5. Tighten these screws with a screwdriver.

4. Tighten the four rail adjustment screws on the installed rail.

5. Repeat steps 2 through 4 for the left-hand rail.

Installing the system in the rack

Use these instructions to install the N3400 in the rack.

18-32 kg (39.7-70.5 lbs)

svc00167

CAUTION:

The weight of this part or unit is between 19 and 31 kg (40 and 68 lb). It takes two

persons to safely lift this part or unit.

1. If attached, carefully remove the front bezel of the N3400 by pulling out on the rectangular openings

(marked by blue stripes) on either side of the bezel.

2. From the front of the rack, set the storage system onto the rails and slide it into the rack until the

front mounting bracket of the storage system is a few inches from the rack frame.

As shown in Figure 4 on page 5, position the spacer plates 1 over the locating pins (holes H3 and

H4) on the left and right rails. Slowly slide the chassis into the rack until the front mounting bracket

of the storage system is flush against the spacer plates.
