changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance
could void your authority to operate the equipment.
1.2
Safety Precautions
Precautions and Instructions
•
•
Prior to powering on the subsystem, ensure that the correct power range is being used.
The RAID subsystem comes with 12 drive bays. Leaving any of these drive bays empty will
greatly affect the efficiency of the airflow within the enclosure, and will consequently
lead to the system overheating, which can cause irreparable damage.
If a module fails, leave it in place until you have a replacement unit and you are ready to
replace it.
•
•
•
•
Airflow Consideration: The subsystem requires an airflow clearance, especially at the
front and rear. The airflow direction is from front to back.
Handle subsystem modules using the retention screws, eject levers, and the metal
frames/face plates. Avoid touching PCB boards and connector pins.
To comply with safety, emission, or thermal requirements, none of the covers or replace-
able modules should be removed. Make sure that all enclosure modules and covers are
securely in place during operation.
•
•
Be sure that the rack cabinet into which the subsystem chassis will be installed provides
sufficient ventilation channels and airflow circulation around the subsystem.
Provide a soft, clean surface to place your subsystem on before working on it.
Servicing on a rough surface may damage the exterior of the chassis.
If it is necessary to transport the subsystem, repackage all drives separately.
Dual redundant controller models come with two controller modules that must be
installed into the subsystem. Single controller modules come with a single controller
module and a metal sheet is placed over the lower controller bay at the rear of the sub-
system. Since single controller modules cannot be upgraded, this metal sheet should
NEVER be removed.
•
•
ESD Precautions
Observe all conventional anti-ESD methods while handling system modules. The use of a
grounded wrist strap and an anti-static work pad are recommended. Avoid dust and debris in
your work area.

RAID Subsystem DVA-12T | Installation Manual
Introduction | en

Introduction
This hardware manual briefly introduces the DVA 12 T iSCSI-to-SATA-II storage subsystem
shown in Figure 2.1.
2.1
Product Overview
The RAID subsystem comes with two (2) Ethernet host ports capable of large I/O transfers
over iSCSI packets. The subsystems come in a 2U-profile rack-mountable chassis which
houses a RAID controller module featuring complete RAID configuration and maintenance
functionality. The subsystem’s operation is protected by redundant hot-swappable power sup-
plies and cooling fan modules. Designed for high level of availability, all major components are
hot-replaceable including its Li-ION battery, and the RAID-protected disk drives.
The iSCSI storage supports the connection to network initiators compatible with the IETF
iSCSI standard (RFC 3720).
The subsystem facilitates data packaging, using the Internet SCSI (iSCSI) protocols, and
transmission of block I/Os over LANs. The subsystem is ideal for location-independent data
storage, backup, and retrieval. It combines the capabilities and block-level performance of
RAID storage with the high-speed, low-cost, and long-distance Ethernet networking technolo-
gies.
Configured arrays are easily combined with multiple ID/LUNs on host ports, turning massive
capacity into manageable units for data-sharing in a heterogeneous environment.
Fig. 2.1 RAID Subsystem DVA-12T
This high-density subsystem supports up to twelve (12) hot swappable, SATA-II hard drives in
a 2U-profile chassis. The subsystem is powered by the RAID controller board featuring the lat-
est ASIC266 ASIC as the XOR engine and a pre-installed 1 GB DDR RAM DIMM module.
The controller board is housed in a metal canister and is referred to as the “controller mod-
ule.” The controller module is comprised of a PCB board, a rear faceplate, and a metal canis-
ter. The controller module is accessed through the rear of the subsystem with the help of two
hand screws. An battery backup unit (BBU) can be installed in the upper left side of the con-
troller module (when viewed from the rear of the subsystem). The BBU is hot swappable and
is accessed through the rear of the subsystem enclosure.
Two (2) RJ-45 connectors connect the RAID controller to network switches or Ethernet ports
of independent devices. Three (3) hot-swappable cooling modules protect the subsystem
from overheating, and two (2) hot-swappable power supply unit (PSU) modules provide con-
stant power to the subsystem. The modular nature of the subsystem and the easy accessibility
to all major components ensure the ease of the subsystem maintenance.
A maximum of 31 units can be connected to the subsystem.
iSCSI Host Ports
Connectivity: - The iSCSI host ports are capable of 2 GBps Ethernet with full duplex transmis-
sion. Storage volumes are associated with simulated ID/LUNs on the host channels. These vol-
umes then appear as iSCSI targets over the network. The connection of these host ports is

identical with connecting Ethernet network devices either point-to-point to iSCSI initiators or
using Ethernet switches.
Other Concerns: - Subnet, gateway, and other access control mechanisms can be applied with
the iSCSI port connection.
The RAID subsystem supports connection through Ethernet networks to servers (iSCSI initia-
tors) using iSCSI HBAs or SCSI packet processing software compliant with the IETF iSCSI
standard (RFC 3720).
Channels: - The SCSI-like ID/LUN mapping method enables users to associate storage volumes
with simulated IDs or LUNs on the host channels. On the drive side, all of the twelve (12)
SATA drives are connected each through a dedicated SATA channel. Each drive channel is
routed to an enclosure drive tray that is equipped with a standard SATA connector with hot-
swap capability. The methods used for assembling physical drives, fault management, and sta-
tus monitoring are identical to that used with the traditional RAID storage.
NOTICE!
On receiving and unpacking your subsystem, please check the package contents against the
included Unpacking Checklist. If any modules are missing, please contact your subsystem ven-
dor immediately.

Section 2.3.7 Power Supply Units)
•
Cooling modules: The redundant cooling modules ventilate the subsystem to reduce the
temperature within the subsystem. (See Section 2.3.8 Cooling Modules)
2.2.5
Backplane Board
An internal backplane board separates the front and rear sections of the RAID subsystem. The
PCB board consists of traces for logic level signals and low voltage power paths. It contains
no user-serviceable components.
CAUTION!
When inserting a removable module, DO NOT USE EXCESSIVE FORCE! Forcing or slamming a
module can damage the pins on the module connectors either on the module itself or on the
backplane. Gently push the module until it reaches the end of module slot. Feel the contact
resistance and use slightly more pressure to ensure the module connectors are correctly
mated. If the module comes with reject levers or retention screws, use them to secure the
module.
2.3
Subsystem Components
The RAID subsystem houses many active components and most of them can be accessed
through either the front or rear panel. The modular design of the active components facilitates
their easy installation and removal. Hot-swap mechanisms are incorporated to eliminate
power surges and signal glitches that might occur while removing or installing these modules.
2.3.1
Front Handles
Fig. 2.6 Handles
A left and a right handle are installed on the front side of the chassis. Each handle has a
release latch to secure the position of the handle when closed. (See Figure 2.6) To access
drive bays in the left or right column behind the handles, first flip the release latch on the
enclosure front handles, and then swing the handles to the left and right sides, respectively.
(See Figure 2.7) To close the handles, swing the handles toward the system; gently press the
handles until a click is heard. The latches will keep the handles in place.

2.3.2
Drive Trays
Fig. 2.8 Drive Tray Front View
The RAID subsystem comes with twelve (12) drive trays (see Figure 2.8) designed to accom-
modate separately purchased, standard 1-inch pitch, 3.5-inch disk drives. The drive bays are
easily accessible from the front of the enclosure. Two (2) LEDs on the front of the tray indi-
cate the drive status. A key-lock on each drive tray secures the hard drive in place, while an
easily accessible release button ensures fast and efficient drive hot-swapping.
CAUTION!
Be careful not to warp, twist, or contort the drive tray in any way (e.g., by dropping it or rest-
ing heavy objects on it). The drive tray has been customized to fit into the drive bays in the
RAID subsystem. If the drive bay superstructure is deformed or altered, the drive trays may
not fit into the drive bay.
2.3.3
The RAID Controller Module
The RAID controller module contains a main circuit board, a preinstalled 1 GB capacity (or
above) DDR RAM DIMM module, and the controller module interfaces. The controller module
contains no user-serviceable components. Except when installing/upgrading the cache mem-
ory inside, the controller module should never be removed or opened.
CAUTION!
Although the RAID controller can be removed, the only time you should touch the controller
itself is to install the memory modules. The RAID controller is built of sensitive components
and unnecessary tampering can damage the controller.
The heart of the RAID controller subsystem is the iSCSI-to-SATA controller board. The control-
ler comes with two (2) Ethernet host ports. The subsystem connects to the host through RJ-
45 connectors, while the connectors are also ready to connect to one or more network
switches, enabling access to your storage volumes in complex configurations such as data-
sharing or network zoning.
The docking connector at the rear of the controller board connects the controller module to
the backplane board. A DDR RAM DIMM socket is strategically placed in an easily accessible
location on the controller board for easy insertion of the DDR RAM DIMM module.

DIMM Module
The controller module comes with a preinstalled 1 GB capacity or above DDR RAM DIMM mod-
ule. The DIMM module is placed in an easily accessed location on the controller board. How-
ever, when the DIMM module is being changed, the controller module must be removed from
the subsystem chassis.
BBU
An Li-ION battery backup unit (BBU) module (see Figure 2.10) can sustain cache memory for
days after a power failure. If you purchased a BBU, it will be installed on the upper left side of
the controller module in the rear of subsystem chassis.

panel of the controller module will flash. (See Section 4.2.5 BBU Module LED and
Section 4.2.6 PSU LEDsfor details on the LED indicators.)
You can check the status of the battery’s charge via RAIDWatch or the firmware utility screen.
2.3.7
Power Supply Units
The RAID subsystem is equipped with two (2) redundant, hot-swappable, 350W PSUs, which
are accessed through the rear of the enclosure. The PSU is permanently mounted into a 2U
(dual-level) bracket especially designed to house both the PSU and a cooling module, which is
mounted in the lower part of the 2U bracket.
NOTICE!
Hot-swapping the PSU also removes the cooling module at the lower slot.
i
As shown in Figure 2.11, each PSU comes with a single power socket for power cord plug-in,
and a power switch on the right to turn the subsystem on and off. Two (2) embedded cooling
fans provide sufficient airflow to keep the PSU cool. A single LED indicates the PSU status.
When any power supply failure occurs, such as over-voltage or fan failure, the LED shines red.
A handle at the back of the PSU has been especially designed to enable you to remove the
PSU from the subsystem while the subsystem is online. This should only be done if the PSU
has failed and needs to be replaced.
A retention screw at the top of the PSU module secures the PSU to the enclosure. To remove
the PSU, the retention screw must be removed first. When installing a new PSU module, make
sure that the retention screw has been firmly secured.
Fig. 2.11 PSU Module
For the PSU specifications, please refer to Section 8 Spare Parts and Accessories.
2.3.8
Cooling Modules
The two subsystem models are all equipped with three (3) 1U, single-fan, hot-swappable cool-
ing modules. They are installed in the cooling module slots located underneath the controller
module and PSU modules (see Figure 2.12.) The cooling fans operate at two (2) fan speed lev-
els. When the subsystem is running in normal ambient temperature, the fans operate at the
lower speed. When the upper temperature threshold is exceeded, the fans automatically raise

LED Indicators
The following active components come with LEDs to indicate the status of the individual com-
ponent:
RAID controller (9 LEDs)
BBU module (1 LED)
Cooling modules (1 LED on each module)
PSU modules (1 LED on each module)
Drive trays (2 LEDs on each tray)
2.4.3
2.4.4
Firmware (FW)
The firmware is pre-installed software used to configure the subsystem. The latest firmware
functionalities include Task Scheduler, Intelligent Drive Handling, and Media Scan. Media
Scan handles low quality drives in both the degraded mode and during the rebuild process.
Maintenance tasks will then be performed on an entire array or specific hard drives. Various
options are user-configurable such as priority, start time, and execution intervals.
Audible Alarms
The RAID subsystem comes with audible alarms that are triggered when certain active compo-
nents fail or when pre-configured (RAID controller or subsystem) thresholds are exceeded.
Whenever you hear an audible alarm from the RAID subsystem, it is imperative that you deter-
mine the cause and rectify the problem immediately.

Event notification messages indicate the completion or status of array configuration tasks and
are always accompanied by two (2) or three (3) successive and prolonged beeps.
CAUTION!
Failing to respond when an audible alarm is heard can lead to permanent damage of the RAID
subsystem. When an audible alarm is heard, rectify the problem as soon as possible.

Hot-swappable Components
2.5.1
Hot-swap Capabilities
The RAID subsystem comes with a number of hot-swappable components. A hot-swap compo-
nent is one that can be exchanged while the subsystem is still online without affecting the
operational integrity of the subsystem. These components should only be removed from the
subsystem when they are being replaced. At no other time should these components be
removed from the subsystem.
2.5.2
2.5.3
Components
The following components are hot-swappable:
•
•
•
•
Power supply units (PSUs)
Cooling modules
BBU module
Hard drives
Normalized Airflow
Proper subsystem cooling is referred to as “normalized” airflow. Normalized airflow ensures
the sufficient cooling of the subsystem and is only attained when all components are properly
installed. Therefore, a failed component should only be hot-swapped when a replacement is
available. If a failed component is removed but not replaced, permanent damage to the sub-
system can result.

Hardware Installation
3.1
Introduction
This chapter gives detailed instructions on how to install the subsystem. When installing the
subsystem, it is necessary to mount the chassis into a rack or cabinet and to install hard
drives and drive trays. Installation into a rack or cabinet should occur before the hard drives or
drive trays are installed into the subsystem. Please confirm that you received all of the compo-
nents listed on the Unpacking List that came with the subsystem before proceeding with the
installation process.
CAUTION!
Please note that the installation instructions described in this manual should be carefully fol-
lowed to prevent any difficulties and damages to your system.

Safety Precautions
3.3.1
Precautions and Instructions
1. Be sure the correct power range (100-120 or 220-240VAC) is supplied by your rack cabi-
net or power outlet.
2. Thermal notice: All drive trays (even if they do not contain a hard drive) must be installed
into the enclosure. Leaving a drive bay or module slot open will severely affect the airflow
efficiency within the enclosure, and will consequently lead to system overheating. Keep a
faulty module in place until you have a replacement unit and you are ready to replace it.
3. An enclosure without disk drives can weigh over 24 kilograms. Two (2) people are
required to install or relocate the subsystem. Drives should be removed from the enclo-
sure before moving the subsystem.
4. Airflow considerations: The subsystem requires an airflow clearance especially on the
front and rear. For proper ventilation, a minimum of 2.5cm is required between the front
of the enclosure and rack cover; a minimum of 5cm is required between the enclosure
and end of the rack.

5. Handle the system modules by the retention screws, eject levers, or the modules metal
frames/face plates only. Avoid touching the PCB boards and connector pins.
6. None of the covers or replaceable modules should be removed in order to maintain com-
pliance with safety, emission, or thermal requirements.
7. Always secure every enclosure module by its retaining screws or make sure it is held in
place by its latches.
8. Always make sure the subsystem has a safe electrical earth connection via power cords
or chassis ground by the rack cabinet.
9. Be sure that the rack cabinet in which the subsystem chassis is to be installed provides
sufficient ventilation channels and airflow circulation around the subsystem.
10. Provide a soft, clean surface to place your enclosure on before working on it. Servicing
the enclosure on a rough surface may damage the finish of the chassis.
11. If it is necessary to transport the subsystem, repackage all disk drives separately.
3.3.2
Static-free Installation
Static electricity can damage the system’s electronic components. To prevent ESD damage to
any of the components, follow these precautions before touching or handling them:
•
Discharge the static electricity accumulated in your body by wearing an anti-static wrist-
band.
•
•
Avoid carpets, plastic, vinyl, and styrofoam in your work area.
Handle all components by holding their edges or metal frames. Avoid touching the
exposed circuitry on PCB boards and connector pins.

Rack/Cabinet Installation
The 2U RAID subsystem has been designed to fit into a standard cabinet or rack. Two (2) slide
rails are available for installing the subsystem into a rack or cabinet (see
Section 8.2 Accessories). The subsystem should be installed in the rack or cabinet before the
hard drives and the drive trays are installed. If the drive trays with the associated hard drives
are installed, the subsystem will be too heavy to mount into a rack or cabinet. When installing
the subsystem into a rack or cabinet it is advisable that three (3) people assist in the mount-
ing process.
To install the subsystem into a rack or cabinet, please refer to the installation instructions that
came with the slide rails.
3.7
Drive Tray Installation
Once the hard drives have been installed in the drive trays, the drive trays can be installed into
the RAID subsystem.
CAUTION!
All drive trays must be installed into the enclosure even if they do not contain a hard drive. If
the trays are not installed into the enclosure, the ventilation required for cooling will not be
normalized and the subsystem will overheat.
1. All drive trays must be installed into the enclosure even if they do not contain a hard
drive. If the trays are not installed into the enclosure, the ventilation required for cooling
will not be normalized and the subsystem will overheat. Make sure the key-lock is in the
unlocked position, i.e., the groove on its face is in a horizontal orientation. If the groove is
in a vertical position, then the key-lock is locked and the front flap on the drive tray can-
not be opened.

Subsystem Monitoring
4.1
Subsystem Monitoring Overview
The RAID subsystem is equipped with a variety of self-monitoring features that help to keep
subsystem managers informed of the subsystem operational status. These monitoring fea-
tures provide vital feedback to help you maintain the operational integrity of the subsystem.
Prompt response to warnings and subsystem component failure notifications will improve the
overall operation of the subsystem and help ensure the longevity of the RAID subsystem.
Self-monitoring features include:
•
Firmware (FW): The controller in the RAID subsystem comes with preinstalled firmware,
which can be accessed using a PC hyper-terminal connected through the RAID sub-
system’s COM port. Device status information can be obtained from the FW configuration
utility.
•
RAIDWatch: RAIDWatch is a fully integrated, Java-based,
Graphical User Interface (GUI) that came with the subsystem and can be used to monitor
and maintain the subsystem using your web browsers. Connection to RAIDWatch is made
using the existing Ethernet ports.
•
•
The RAIDWatch Panel View can be customized to show a direct, graphical representation
of the RAID subsystem in the content panel of the RAIDWatch screen. Panel View allows
you to quickly determine the operational status of critical components.
Bosch RAIDWatch Server: The Bosch RAIDWatch Server is a powerful module that runs as
an independent program from RAIDWatch and can be installed redundantly on different
hosts. It is used for event notification via email, fax, LAN broadcast, SNMP traps, MSN
Messenger, ICQ, SMS (Short Message Service), and the configuration utility screen. The
Configuration Client helps prevent blind time and keeps you constantly informed as to
the status of the storage management subsystem. Instructions on how to activate the
Configuration Client functionality are given in the RAIDWatch User’s Manual.
LEDs: Device-status-indicating LEDs are located on all active components. These LEDs
iar with the different LEDs that are present on the subsystem and be aware of their func-
tions. (See Section 4.2 Status-indicating LEDs)
•
•
Audible alarm: An audible alarm is present on the subsystem
controller board and will be triggered if any of a number of threatening events occurred.
These events usually jeopardize the functional and operational integrity of the controller
board and must be heeded at all times. Events such as a breaching of the temperature
use the PC hyper-terminal to determine the cause of the alarm and take the appropriate
corrective measures. (See Section 4.3 Audible Alarm)
•
Inter-Integrated Circuit (I2C): The I2C bus monitors the
operational integrity of the cooling modules, RAID controller board temperature and volt-
age readings.
Subsystem monitoring is a necessary part of subsystem management. If failure events or other
disruptive events are detected and reported, the subsystem managers must take the appropri-
ate action to rectify the problem. Failure to act in a properly specified manner to a system
event (like overheating) can cause severe and permanent damage to the subsystem.

Cooling Module LEDs
Each cooling module has one (1) red LED on the back. The LED corresponds to the single fan
in the cooling module. (See Figure 4.6) When the LED is on, it indicates the fan has failed.
When the LED is off, it indicates the fan is functioning properly.
Fig. 4.6 Cooling Module LEDs an Cooling Fan Locations
The subsystem has a novel approach to stabilizing the temperature within the subsystem:
When the intelligent sensors on the backplane detect higher temperature, such as high ambi-
ent temperature or the failure of any cooling or PSU module, the system will turn the cooling
fans to high speed to extract more heat. Once the ambient temperature cools down to normal
or the cooling or PSU modules have been replaced, the cooling fans will return to low speed.
4.3
Audible Alarm
Different controller environmental and operational parameters (like temperature, etc.) have
been assigned a range of values between which they can fluctuate. If either the upper or lower
thresholds are exceeded, an audible alarm will automatically be triggered. The alarm will also
be triggered when an active component on the RAID subsystem fails. If the RAID subsystem
manager is onsite and hears an alarm, the manager must read the error message on the PC
terminal or RAIDWatch screen to determine what has triggered the alarm. After determining
what has occurred, the RAID subsystem manager must take appropriate actions to rectify the
problem.
CAUTION!
If an alarm is triggered it is necessary for you to determine the problem. If the audible alarm is
ignored and the problem is not rectified, unexpected damages may occur.
4.3.1
Default Threshold Values
Table 4.6 shows the default threshold values for the RAID subsystem. If any of these values are
surpassed, the alarm will sound:

Subsystem Connection and Operation
5.1
Cabling
Following are the requirements on the type of cables used to connect the subsystem’s iSCSI
host ports:
•
•
•
•
Gigabit Ethernet network cables.
Cat6 type cables or better performance types.
Straight-through Ethernet cables with RJ-45 plugs.
Use of cross-over cables can also automatically be detected and re-routed for a valid con-
nection.
Connection can be made directly to iSCSI initiators or through Gigabit Ethernet switches, to
servers equipped with an iSCSI HBA, and then to client stations with a normal NIC or iSCSI
HBA. The subsystem presents its logical capacity volumes through SCSI-like IDs and LUN’s,
and these volumes appear as iSCSI targets through the network.
NOTICE!
All cables must be handled with care. Make sure Ethernet cables do not run parallel with
power cords. To prevent interference within a rack system, the cable routing path must be
carefully planned and they must not be bent.
i
5.2
Host Connection Topologies
The RAID subsystem provides two Gigabit Ethernet ports. The host-side connection can be
made as the following:
•
•
Directly attached to the VIP X1600 encoder unit
Connection through Ethernet Switch
Network configurations, such as subnet or VLAN settings, can be applied as long as perma-
nent IPs are available with the subsystem’s iSCSI host ports. Automatic assignment methods,
such as DHCP, are not recommended for configuring the iSCSI connection. RAIDWatch need
to access the array over standard TCP/IP and RAIDWatch may not recognize an array if port
IPs have been changed.

Direct-Attached, Single Connection
In the configuration shown in Figure 5.1, the iSCSI drive is attached directly to the VIP X1600
encoder unit. The advantage of this configuration is recording traffic is not loaded onto the
network. Furthermore, a general network failure will not affect the recording.
NOTICE!
There is no traffic in the network. In case of net failure recording will not be interrupted.

Connection through an Ethernet Switches
In the configuration shown in Figure 5.2 all codecs and cameras are connected via an Ethernet
Switch. This is a standard configuration for using IP cameras and codecs sharing the same
iSCSI drive.
A maximum of 31 units can be connected. In this case, a unit is defined by having one (1) IP
address, so e.g. a unit can be either a VIP X1, a Dinion IP camera or one VIP X1600 module.

NOTICE!
Although the PSUs are redundant and a single PSU can provide sufficient power to the sys-
tem, it is advisable to turn both of the power switches on. If only one PSU is operating and
fails, system operation will be terminated.
i
5.3.4
Power On Status Check
Once the subsystem has been powered on, the status of the entire subsystem should be
checked to ensure that everything is running smoothly and that there are no complications or
malfunctions.

Subsystem Maintenance and Upgrading
6.1
Overview
6.1.1
Maintenance
Constant monitoring and maintenance of your RAID subsystem will minimize subsystem down-
time and preserve the working integrity of the system for a longer period of time. If any of the
subsystem components fail, they must be replaced as soon as possible.
CAUTION!
Do not remove a failed component from the subsystem until you have a replacement on hand.
If you remove a failed component without replacing it, the internal airflow will be disrupted
and the system will overheat causing damage to the subsystem.
5. Cooling fan modules – Section 6.6 Cooling Module Maintenance
6. Hard drives – Section 6.7 Replacing a Failed Hard Drive
6.1.2
General Notes on Component Replacement
•
With the exception of the RAID controller module, all of the components on the RAID sub-
system, including the PSU modules, cooling modules, and drive trays, are hot-swappable
and can be replaced while the subsystem is still in operation
•
Qualified techniciens who are familiar with the RAID subsystem should be the only ones
who make component replacements. If you are not familiar with the RAID subsystem and/
or with RAID subsystem maintenance in general, it is strongly advised that you refer sub-
system maintenance to a suitably qualified maintenance technicien.
•
•
Normalized airflow is directly dependent upon the presence of all subsystem compo-
nents. Even if a subsystem component fails, it should not be removed from the sub-
system until a replacement is readily at hand and can be quickly installed. Removing a
subsystem component without replacing it can lead to permanent subsystem damage.
When replacing any hot-swappable component, caution should be taken to ensure that
the components are handled in an appropriate manner. The rough or improper handling
of components can lead to irreparable damage.
When, if necessary, removing a RAID controller module from the subsystem, ensure that the
power has been turned off and that all precautionary measures, without exception, are
adhered to. The controller board is very sensitive and can be easily damaged.
CAUTION!
When inserting a removable module, DO NOT USE EXCESSIVE FORCE! Forcing or slamming a
module can damage the pins on the module connectors either on the module itself or on the
backplane. Gently push the module until it reaches the end of module slot. Feel the contact
resistance and use slightly more force to ensure the module connectors are correctly mated. If
the module comes with reject levers or retention screws, use them to secure the module.

Replacing Controller Module Components
The controller module consists of the components shown below:
•
DIMM Module
The DIMM module can be replaced when the DIMM module fails or if a larger capacity
DIMM module is required.
•
Controller Module
If the controller module in a single controller model fails, it is necessary to power the sys-
tem down and replace the controller.

Controller Module Maintenance Overview
•
The controller module contains a DIMM module. When replacing the controller
module, these components can be removed and used on the new controller module if
they are undamaged.
•
is one of the most sensitive components in the RAID subsystem. All previously stipulated
safety precautions (see Section 3 Hardware Installation) must be strictly adhered to. Fail-
ure to adhere to these precautions can result in permanent damage to the controller
board.
•
For your own safety and that of the subsystem, make sure that no power is being
supplied to the system prior to replacing the controller module.
6.2.2
Removing the Controller Module
1. Turn off the subsystem. If possible power off the subsystem in the way described in
Section 5 Subsystem Connection and Operation. If it is not possible to do this turn off both
PSU modules and disconnect the power cords.
2. Disconnect all cables that are connected to the controller module you wish to replace.
These include the Ethernet cables connected to the network, and any cable connected to
the RS-232C audio jack connector.
3. Loosen the retention hand screws. Hand screws are located on both sides of the RAID
controller faceplate. Press these screws and loosen them so that the controller can be
removed from chassis.

6.2.3
Replacing the Controller Module
If the controller module has failed, it must be replaced. To replace a failed controller module:
If the DIMM module is undamaged it can be removed (See Section 6.3 DIMM Module
Replacement) and reused on the new controller module.
2. Install a DIMM module on the new controller module. (See Section 6.3 DIMM Module
Replacement)
3. Insert the controller module. Align the controller module with the controller module bay
at the rear of the subsystem. Gently slide the controller module in.
4. Fasten the hand screws. Once fully inserted secure the controller module to the sub-
system by fastening the hand screws.
5. Re-attach all the cables that were removed. These include the cables that connect to the
network or iSCSI initiators that were previously attached to the iSCSI ports, and any
cable that was attached to the RS-232C audio jack connector.
6. Power up the system.
6.3
DIMM Module Replacement
The subsystem comes with a pre-installed 1 GB (or above) DDR RAM DIMM module on the
controller. If DDR RAM DIMM modules with a different size need to be used or the original
memory module is damaged in some way, the pre-installed modules must be removed and the
new ones installed. Replacement and installation instructions are described fully below.
The DIMM module is located on the controller board. The controller board is a sensitive com-
ponent and must be treated with care to avoid being damaged.
CAUTION!
•
The pre-installed modules must be removed prior to installing new memory modules. Do
this with care. Sensitive components can be damaged during the process.
The controller board in the controller module is a sensitive item. Please ensure that all
anti-static precautions stipulated above are strictly adhered to. Only qualified techniciens
should replace the DIMM module.
•
6.3.1
DIMM Module Considerations
If the memory module on the subsystem controller module is going to be replaced, the follow-
ing factors must be considered when purchasing replacement DIMM modules:
•
Pre-installed DIMM module: The RAID comes with a 1 GB DDR RAM DIMM module pre-
installed on the controller board. If you wish to change the size of the DIMM, then a new,
separately purchased DIMM must be installed.
•
•
•
Purchasing considerations: When purchasing a DDR RAM DIMM to install on the
controller board, contact your vendor for an updated list of certified modules.
DDR RAM DIMM modules supported: The RAID subsystem supports DDR RAM DIMM
modules with memory capacities from 1 GB.
Installation considerations: When installing the DIMM module, it is necessary to
the other components and must therefore be handled with extreme care. ALL anti-static
precautions specified in Section 3.3 Safety Precautions must be strictly adhered to.
Secure installation: When replacing the DIMM module, make sure that the new
DIMM module is firmly in place prior to installing the controller module. If the DIMM mod-
ule is not firmly in place, the subsystem will not run and the controller will need to be
removed and the DIMM module correctly installed.

Replacing a Faulty BBU Module
The BBU module is installed in the rear panel of the subsystem above the controller module. It
consists of a battery cell pack enclosed in a metal bracket and connects directly to the back-
plane board.
6.4.1
BBU Warnings and Precautions
•
•
•
Install or replace the BBU supplied by your subsystem vendors only. Use of battery cells
provided otherwise will void our warranty.
Always dispose of discharged or used batteries in an ecologically responsible manner.
Dispose used BBU at authorized battery disposal sites only.
Do not use nor leave the BBU near a heat source. Heat can melt the insulation and dam-
age other safety features of battery cells, possibly leading it to acid leak, and result in
flames or explosion.
•
Do not immerse the BBU in water nor allow it to get wet. Its protective features can be
damaged. Abnormal chemical reactions may occur, possibly causing functional defects,
acid leak, and other hazardous results.
•
•
Do not disassemble or modify the BBU. If disassembled, the BBU could leak acid, over-
heat, emit smoke, burst and/or ignite.
Do not pierce the BBU with a sharp object, strike it with a hammer, step on it, or throw it.
These actions could damage or deform it, internal short-circuiting can occur, possibly
causing functional defects, acid leak, and other hazardous results.
If the BBU leaks, gives off a bad odor, generates heat, becomes discolored or deformed,
or in any way appears abnormal during use, recharging or storage, immediately remove it
from the subsystem and stop using it. If this is discovered when you first use the BBU,
return it to Bosch or your system vendor.
•
6.4.2
Procedure
NOTICE!
The BBU is hot-swappable and can be replaced while the subsystem is running. However, a
new module will only be recognized after a subsystem reset. Carefully select the time when
the reset will be made in order to minimize the overall disruption to service.

light amber constantly.
NOTICE!
The life expectancy of a BBU is approximately 500 cycles. Follow the procedures above to
replace an old BBU with a new BBU in order to maintain fault-tolerant subsystem functional-
ities. We recommend replacing the BBU yearly.

6.5
Replacing a Failed PSU Module
6.5.1
PSU Module Overview
•
Two redundant PSU modules: The RAID subsystem comes with two fully redundant, hot-
swappable PSU modules. These modules are located at the rear of the subsystem.
Immediate replacement: When a PSU fails, it should ideally be replaced immediately. Do
not remove the PSU module unless a replacement is readily available. Removing a PSU
without a replacement will cause severe disruptions to the internal airflow and the sub-
system will overheat, possibly causing irreparable damage to some of the subsystem
components.
•
NOTICE!
Although the subsystem can operate using single PSU module, it is not advisable to run the
RAID subsystem with a single PSU module for an extended period of time.
i
6.5.2
i
Replacing the PSU Module
NOTICE!
Before you insert a new PSU, be sure that it has the same warning label on its extraction lever
as that shown on the lever of a remaining PSU. Double-check to avoid mixing a similar yet dif-
ferent PSU of another series.
To replace a PSU, please follow these steps:
1. Turn off the PSU. The power switch is located at the rear of the PSU. (See Figure 6.6)

Cooling Module Maintenance
6.6.1
Cooling Module Overview
•
Redundant cooling modules: The RAID subsystem is equipped with redundant, hot-swap-
pable, single-fan cooling modules. Two are located below the PSU modules. The third is
located below the controller module. These cooling modules control the internal opera-
tional temperature of the subsystem and therefore their working integrity should be
maintained at all times.
•
•
Detecting a failed cooling fan module: If a cooling module fails, you can be notified
of the failure by the LED located at the back of the module, an audible alarm, the firm-
ware, the RAIDWatch Panel View, or the Configuration Client utility.
Replacing a cooling module: When you are notified that a cooling module has failed,
it should be replaced as soon as possible. A failed cooling module should only be
removed from the subsystem when you have a replacement module that can be installed
as soon as the failed cooling module has been removed.
NOTICE!
The latches at the back of the cooling module secure the cooling fan module into the enclo-
sure. If these latches are broken, the warranty on the cooling fan module will be void.
i
6.6.2
Replacing a Cooling Module
CAUTION!
Although the cooling fan modules are fully redundant, it is not advisable to run the RAID sub-
system with one or two cooling modules for an extended period of time. Whenever a cooling
module fails, the system is at risk of sustaining irreparable damage.

3. Install the new cooling module. To do this, align the replacement cooling module with the
bay from which the faulty one was removed. Then gently slide the new cooling module
into the enclosure subsystem.
6.7
Replacing a Failed Hard Drive
Hard drives for the subsystem can be purchased separately. When purchasing the hard drives,
the following factors should be considered:
Capacity (MB/GB): Use drives with the same capacity. RAID arrays use a “least-common-
denominator” approach. The maximum capacity of each drive used in the array is the maxi-
mum capacity of the smallest drive. Choose big drives with the same storage capacity.
Profile: The drive trays and bays of the system are designed for 3.5-inch wide x 1-inch-high
hard drives. It is highly recommended that you do not try to use drives of any other size.
Drive type: The RAID subsystem described in this manual can use SATA-I or SATA-II hard
drives. Please ensure that you purchase the correct hard drives.
CAUTION!
•
The hard drives and drive trays should only be installed into the subsystem after the sub-
system has been mounted into a rack cabinet. If the hard drives are installed first, the
subsystem will be too heavy to lift and the possible impact during installation may dam-
age your drives.
•
Handle hard drives with extreme care. Hard drives are very delicate. Dropping a drive
onto a hard surface (even from a short distance) and hitting or touching the circuits on
the drives with your tools may cause damage to the drives.
•
•
Observe all ESD prevention methods when installing drives.
Only use screws supplied with the drive canisters. Longer screws may damage the drive.
6.7.1
Hard Drive Maintenance Overview
•
Hot-swappable drive trays: The drive trays are all hot-swappable. If a hard drive fails, it
can be replaced while the subsystem is still running.
•
Open flap: Once the flap on the drive tray has been opened, the drive tray must be
removed from the subsystem. Failure to remove the drive tray from the subsystem after
the flap has been opened may result in signal glitches and Data Compare Errors might
ensue.

•
Remove drives slowly: When removing a drive tray, withdraw it from the enclosure slowly.
If the drive tray is removed too quickly a drive I/O timeout might occur.
Replacement on-hand: Before removing a failed hard drive from the subsystem, make
sure you have a replacement hard drive readily available. Do not leave the drive tray slot
open for an extended period of time. If the drive tray slot is left unoccupied for an
extended period of time, the airflow within chassis will be disrupted and subsystem com-
ponents will overheat and may become permanently damaged.
6.7.2
Replacing a Hard Drive
When a hard drives fails, it needs to be replaced. To replace a hard drive, please follow these
steps:
CAUTION!
The hard drive is fragile; please always handle with extreme care. Do not drop the hard drive;
always be slow, gentle and careful when putting down a hard drive. Only handle the hard drive
by the edges, avoid touching any components or connectors.
1. Identify the drive tray that contains a faulty drive that needs to be replaced.
CAUTION!
Replacing the wrong drive in an array can fatally fail a RAID configuration. You should identify
a failed drive from the RAIDWatch GUI screen, by checking the drive slot ID in the terminal
screen, by checking the LEDs on the drive tray panel, and/or use the identify/flash drive func-
tion of firmware.
2. Open the front flap. To open the front flap, push the release button at the front of the
drive tray. (See Figure 6.11) The drive tray front flap will automatically be lifted and the
drive tray will be dislodged from the chassis.
Fig. 6.11 Front View of an Individual Drive Tray
3. Remove the drive tray. To remove the drive tray from the enclosure, the key-lock must be
unlocked. (See Figure 6.12) To do this, turn the key-lock on the front of the drive tray
until the groove on its face is in a horizontal orientation.
