Topics: • Required equipment for installation installation on on pag pagee 10 • Servicing space requirement on requirement on page page 10 • Rack requirements on requirements on pag pagee 12 • PDU requirements on requirements on page page 13 • Environmental considerations on considerations on pag pagee 14
2.1 Required equipment for installation Before you begin the installation, ensure that you have the following items. • Number 2 Phillips-head Phillips-head screwdriver with with a 12" 12" shaft. If using a torque screwdriver, screwdriver, set the torque torque to 212 in lb or 24 N-m for installing 1U and 3U mounting kits. • Level. • Anti-s Anti-stat tatic ic mat or or anti-s anti-stat tatic ic foam. foam. • A cart cart to to hold hold compon component ents. s. • Box cu cutter. • Tape measure measure to check check the the rack size size and walking walking path. path.
2.2 Servicing space requirement The ActiveScale P100 system requires that enough space be available at the front and the rear of the system to install and service system components. The front space requirement is based on the length of the longest system component, plus the space necessary to fit a person servicing the system. The rear space requirements is based on space a technician would need to service all of the parts at the rear of the unit. Tabl Tablee 2-1 2-1..

Use the table above to come up with a plan to address how the system must be installed. The following is a list of things to take into consideration to be successful during this process: • Is there enough enough space to unpack all of the the components of a single single pallet or all pallets pallets and store them before installing installing them in the customer customer rack? If not, think about about what the sequence of of unpack and installation that is required with the space given. • While While installing installing system system components components,, there needs to be a minimum minimum of 1220mm of space space at the front of the rack to allow for the space needed for the largest system component to be installed by two people.

ActiveScale™ P100 Installation Guide
Pre-installation site requirements
If this room is not available in the location that the unit will operate, consider building the system outside its operational location and moving it into location when finished. • If the system system will be moved after the system system components components are installed in in the customer rack, be sure to measure the size of the customer rack and check the walking path to make sure that the system will fit as it moves through the deployment site. Note: Before moving the system, verify that the rack can support the dynamic load of the system weight during movement. For details, see Rack requirements on pag pagee 12. 12.
2.3 Rack requirements The ActiveScale P100 system is designed to be integrated into the user's own rack mounting solution and does not come installed in an HGST rack. Therefore, this section describes what is required of a rack mounting solution in order to accommodate the physical dimensions and performance characteristics of the product. Note: All components fit into an ANSI/EIA-310-D-1992 19 in Rack with 1100mm minimum depth. Greatest component depth is 36 in (915 mm).
The following is considered best practice when choosing a rack mounting solution for the ActiveScale P100: • System dimension—Select dimension—Select a rack mounting mounting solution solution that that has the appropriate appropriate depth to accommodate accommodate the 1U and 3U rail kits and the dimensions of the system components, including any rack-mounted PDUs. • System weight—Select weight—Select a rack mounting solution that supports supports the static static weight loads of a base system, dynamic weight loads if the system needs to be moved, and the additional weight loads that might be added later if the system is scaled up (in other words, the weight loads of additional Storage Nodes). For details, see Dimensions and weights that affect rack selection selection on on page page 12. 12. • Mounting kits kits (rails) —Select —Select a rack mounting mounting solution solution that supports the the properties of the 1U and 3U mounting rail kits. For details, see Identifying the mounting kits on pag pagee 21. 21. • Cable manageme management—T nt—The he system system is designed designed such that that all of the cables are wired wired at the back of the system. Be sure that the system cabling can be routed safely a nd efficiently through the selected route. route. • Grounding—Ensure Grounding—Ensure that the electrical components used to power the system can be grounded grounded safely and that the rack itself can also be grounded safely. safely. Use the following table to make determinations about your rack mounting solution: Table 2-3.

Note: When using single phase PDUs to supply power to the system, the site mains power must contain a breaker that is rated to support the system configuration that is being powered. If the mains breaker cannot support single phase power distribution, distribution, special considerations considerations must be be made to support the electrical load of the system
2.4.2 Load balancing 3-phase PDUs PDUs When selecting a PDU for use with the ActiveScale P100, it is important to consider how to balance the electrical load of the system on the PDU to prevent damaging power equipment or the system itself. When using a 3-Phase PDU with the ActiveScale P100, special consideration should be taken for how the electrical loads will balance across the three phases.
2.5 Environmental considerations Ensure that both the front and rear of the ActiveScale P100 stay clear of any materials that may block or disrupt the airflow in any way. Disrupting the airflow can cause the system to overheat which may affect performance or cause cause damage to the system. system. The following rack airflow principles should be considered for best results: • Controlled air conditioners conditioners that that are functional and can sufficiently sufficiently maintain specified system system operating temperatures temperatures should be located in the facility where the system will be installed. • The airflow airflow in in and out out of the equipm equipment ent must must not be restricted. restricted. • If rack doors doors will be be used, ensure ensure that the solution used used with the system does not prevent airflow airflow from the cold aisle from entering the system freely.

3.2 Unpacking process Note: Each system contains a packing slip. As you are unpacking, check the items that you received against the packing slip.
This section provides an unpacking process that is sufficient to ensure that the system is unpacked effectively and safely. However, because the requirements of every data center or customer installation site will vary, it may be advantageous to unpack and install the system in a slightly different sequence. If so, be sure that the installation team has thoroughly reviewed and understands the information provided in this section and follows all of safety and inspection steps. Additionally, Additionally, the unpacking process involves alternating unpacking and inspecting the packaging and system components as they are unpacked. This sequence is designed to catch problems that could have occurred during the packaging and shipping process to insure the system has arrived without damage. Pay close attention to this sequence in order to find any problems.
3.2.1 Unpacking storage pallets and scale-up pallets This section describes the steps that should be followed to unpack pallet one and inspect the product for damage. The ActiveScale P100 ships on two pallets. The boxes will be numbered based on the system component they contain. The labels on the boxes and the top of the systems will list the full system name (for example, Storage Node 3).

System hardware installation
4 System hardware installation The ActiveScale P100 system hardware does not come pre-installed in a rack, is not required to be installed in a single rack, and does not come with a power distribution unit (PDU). This is to allow users the flexibility to integrate this system into their own rack and power distribution system. Therefore, this section covers the installation of the system into a single rack. It addresses the design and installation of the mounting kits, a recommended installation sequence, and the steps you should follow in order to install each system component into your rack. For guidance on selecting an appropriate rack solution, see Rack requirements on requirements on pag pagee 12. 12. For guidance on selecting an appropriate PDU, as well as information about how to manage system power generally, see PDU requirements on requirements on page page 13. 13.

The System Interconnect mounting kits have a stability bracket as shown in the following image. Figure Figure 4-2.
System System Interconn Interconnect ect 3U stabilit stability y bracket bracket (stabilit (stability y bracket bracket noted in in blue)
This bracket has a set of slots at the end as shown in the following image. These slots are designed to receive a set of tabs that protrude from the back of the System Interconnect. This prevents the System Interconnects from tilting or shifting during operation and maintenance. During the installation process, it is important to fit the System Interconnects such that the tabs at the end are inserted in the slots at the end of the bracket. Each 3U mounting kit also comes with a set of washer plates that are used to secure the mounting brackets to the rack posts. These washer plates come in two varieties: with standoffs or flush. The difference is shown in the following image. The front view bracket uses 3 standoffs, the rear view bracket is flush.

5.1 User provided cables To connect to the public network, the customer must provide networking cables that are compatible with the SFP+ transceivers that are installed in the rear of each System Node. The transceivers require a multimode, duplex, fiber optic cable (50/125) with an LC connector at the appliance end of the cable. The fiber type of the cable will depend on the length of cable required. Use the following table for reference Note: The rack to rack c able must be an OM3 MPO Type-B female to female cable. If rack ra ck to rack connectivity uses the customer infrastructure, Type-A, Type-A, Type-B, or Type-C cables may be required. Table Table 5-1. 5-1.

5.2 How to read cable labels The ActiveScale P100 system comes with the necessary network cables to connect the system components. This section provides an explanation of the labels that come attached to the cables and how to use them to connect the system components. Each cable label is broken into two parts separated by a colon which refer to the two system components being connected connected to one another another with the cable. Furthermore, each side of the colon is broken into two two parts; the part on the left side of the period refers to the system component, while the part on the right hand side of the period refers to the port on that component. For example, the following image is an example of a cable label. Figu Figure re 5-1 5-1..
Cabl Cablee labe labell
33
ActiveScale™ P100 Installation Guide

On the left side of the colon, CN6 refers to the sixth Storage Node and N4 refers to the fourth network port on that Storage Node. On the right side of the colon, SW2 refers to the second System Interconnect, and 12 refers to the twelfth port on that System Interconnect. Therefore, this cable label is instructing the user to use this cable to connect the networking port 4 on the sixth Storage Node to the twelfth port on the second System Interconnect. To find the correct location of the ports identified on the cable labels, use the following diagrams. Figure Figure 5-2. 5-2.

bond-mode 0 (Round Robin): transmits packets in a sequential order from the first available slave through the last.
•
bond-mode 4 (LACP - Dynamic Link Aggregation Aggregation - 802.3ad): creates aggregated groups that share the same speed and duplex settings. This mode requires a switch that supports IEEE 802.3ad Dynamic Link.
•
bond-mode 6 (ALB - Active Load Balancing): includes transmit load balancing (balance-tlb) and receive load balancing (rlb) for IPv4 traffic. Receive load balancing is achieved by ARP negotiation. The bonding driver intercepts the ARP ARP replies sent by the server on their way out and overwrites the source hardware address with the unique hardware address of one of the slaves in the bond such that different clients use different hardware addresses for the server.

6.4.2 Multi-site pre-login configuration configuration The pre-login configuration wizard connects the System Networks at all three sites. At each site, the configuration wizard prompts you for the local network settings you predetermined through your ActiveScale P100 Site Site Survey. Please have this document available for your reference. Each site must use the same [multi-site] ActiveScale P100 Site Site Survey. After verifying network settings, the configuration wizard running at the primary site communicates with the secondary sites through their System Network 1 IP addresses and orchestrates the overall configuration process. You You can designate a ny site as the primary site. You can have a system administrator present at each site concurrently, or you can run the configuration wizard sequentially at each secondary site and then lastly at the primary site . The disadvantage of the second approach is that if there is a mistake at a secondary site, you have to go back onsite to fix it. Tip: Pre-login configuration takes a minimum of 12 hours.

7.2.3 Electrostatic Electrostatic discharge CAUTION Electrostatic discharge can harm delicate components inside HGST products. Electrostatic discharge (ESD) is a discharge of stored static electricity that can damage equipment and impair electrical circuitry. It occurs when electronic components are improperly handled and can result in complete or intermittent failures. Wear an ESD wrist strap for installation, service and maintenance to prevent damage to components in the product. Ensure the antistatic wrist strap is attached to a chassis ground (any unpainted metal surface). If possible, keep one hand on the frame when you install or remove an ESD-sensitive part. Before moving ESD-sensitive parts place them in ESD static-protective bags until you are ready to install the part.
