Detailed guide - AFF A250
This guide gives detailed step-by-step instructions for installing an AFF A250 system.
Step 1: Prepare for installation
To install your AFF A250 system, you need to create an account and register the system.
You also need to inventory the appropriate number and type of cables for your system
and collect specific network information.
You need to have access to the Hardware Universe for information about site requirements as well as
additional information on your configured system. You might also want to have access to the Release Notes for
your version of ONTAP for more information about this system.
NetApp Hardware Universe
Customers with specific power requirements must check HWU for their configuration options.
Find the Release Notes for your version of ONTAP 9
You need to provide the following at your site:
•Rack space for the storage system
•Phillips #2 screwdriver
•Additional networking cables to connect your system to your network switch and laptop or console with a
Web browser
1. Unpack the contents of all boxes.
2. Record the system serial number from the controllers.
3. Set up your account:
a. Log in to your existing account or create an account.
b. Register your system.
NetApp Product Registration
4. Inventory and make a note of the number and types of cables you received.
The following table identifies the types of cables you might receive. If you receive a cable not listed in
the table, see the Hardware Universe to locate the cable and identify its use.

Step 2: Install the hardware
You need to install your system in a 4-post rack or NetApp system cabinet, as applicable.
1. Install the rail kits, as needed.
2. Install and secure your system using the instructions included with the rail kit.
You need to be aware of the safety concerns associated with the weight of the system.

3. Identify and manage cables because this system does not have a cable management device.
4. Place the bezel on the front of the system.
Step 3: Cable controllers
There is required cabling for your platform’s cluster using the two-node switchless cluster
method or the cluster interconnect network method. There is optional cabling to the Fibre
Channel or iSCSI host networks or direct-attached storage. This cabling is not exclusive;
you can have cable to a host network and storage.
Required cabling: Cable controllers to a cluster
Cable the controllers to a cluster by using the two-node switchless cluster method or by
using the cluster interconnect network.
Option 1: Cable a two node switchless cluster
The management, Fibre Channel, and data or host network ports on the controller
modules are connected to switches. The cluster interconnect ports are cabled on both
controller modules.
Contact your network administrator for information about connecting the system to the switches.
Be sure to check the illustration arrow for the proper cable connector pull-tab orientation.
As you insert the connector, you should feel it click into place; if you do not feel it click, remove
it, turn it around and try again.
1. Use the animation or the step-by step instructions to complete the cabling between the controllers and to
the switches:

Step Perform on each controller
Cable the cluster interconnect ports to each other with the 25GbE
cluster interconnect cable :
•e0c to e0c
•e0d to e0d
Cable the wrench ports to the management network switches with the
RJ45 cables.
DO NOT plug in the power cords at this point.
2. To complete setting up your system, see Step4: Completing system setup and configuration.
Option 2: Cable a switched cluster
All ports on the controllers are connected to switches; cluster interconnect, management,
Fibre Channel, and data or host network switches.
Contact your network administrator for information about connecting the system to the switches.
Be sure to check the illustration arrow for the proper cable connector pull-tab orientation.
As you insert the connector, you should feel it click into place; if you do not feel it click, remove
it, turn it around and try again.
1. Use the animation or the step-by step instructions to complete the cabling between the controllers and to
the switches:

2. To complete setting up your system, see Step4: Completing system setup and configuration.
Optional cabling: Cable configuration-dependent options
You have configuration-dependent optional cabling to the Fibre Channel or iSCSI host
networks or direct-attached storage. This cabling is not exclusive; you can have cabling
to a host network and storage.
Option 1: Cable to a Fibre Channel host network
Fibre Channel ports on the controllers are connected to Fibre Channel host network
switches.
Contact your network administrator for information about connecting the system to the switches.
Be sure to check the illustration arrow for the proper cable connector pull-tab orientation.

switches.
2 To perform other optional cabling, choose from:
•Option 2: Cable to a 25GbE data or host network
•Option 3: Cable the controllers to a single drive shelf
3 To complete setting up your system, see Step4: Completing system
setup and configuration.
Option 2: Cable to a 25GbE data or host network
25GbE ports on the controllers are connected to 25GbE data or host network switches.
Contact your network administrator for information about connecting the system to the switches.
Be sure to check the illustration arrow for the proper cable connector pull-tab orientation.
As you insert the connector, you should feel it click into place; if you do not feel it click, remove
it, turn it around and try again.

Step Perform on each controller module
1 Cable ports e4a through e4d to the 10GbE host network
switches.
2 To perform other optional cabling, choose from:
•Option 1: Cable to a Fibre Channel host network
•Option 3: Cable the controllers to a single drive shelf
3 To complete setting up your system, see Step4: Completing system
setup and configuration.
Option 3: Cable the controllers to a single drive shelf
Cable each controller to the NSM modules on the NS224 drive shelf.
Be sure to check the illustration arrow for the proper cable connector pull-tab orientation.
As you insert the connector, you should feel it click into place; if you do not feel it click, remove
it, turn it around and try again.
