Introducing the Enclosure  
This chapter describes of the StorageWorks Enclosure 4200 family of low voltage  
differential (LVD) disk enclosures (see Figure 1–1 and Figure 1–2). These enclosures  
support Wide-Ultra and Wide-Ultra2 small computer system interface (SCSI)  
protocols. The internal bus supports only LVD drives. The external bus (the enclosure to  
the host controller bus) supports either Wide-Ultra2 (LVD) and or Wide-Ultra  
single-ended (SE) SCSI protocols.

Disk Enclosure Features  
The Model 4214 enclosure supports up to fourteen, 1-inch high, 3.5-inch form factor  
hard disk drives. This enclosure is available in either a rack mountable version (4214R)  
or in a tower (4214T). A rack (cabinet) mounted enclosure requires a RETMA 3U vertical  
opening (5.25-inches) where a “U” is 1.75-inches.  
The enclosure provides several features, including:  
Hot-pluggable drives, environmental monitoring unit (EMU), fans, and power  
supplies are replaceable without halting SCSI bus data transfers.  
Pluggable I/O module and SCSI bus cables require quiescing the bus (that is,  
stopping all data transfers), but do not require removing power before replacing.  
Depending upon the host controller, the I/O module is capable of supporting  
Wide-Ultra SCSI (LVD) or Wide-Ultra SCSI (SE) bus operations.  
Depending upon the host-interface controller, an EMU may support the automatic  
monitoring of specific enclosure and drive functions.  
The enclosure has guides that ensure the drives, EMU, I/O module, and power supplies  
(the enclosure elements) align and properly mate with the backplane connectors. A guide  
post on the fan ensures that the fan properly mates with the power supply. The elements  
and the metal enclosure provide electromagnetic interference (EMI) suppression and  
control airflow within the enclosure.

Introducing the Enclosure 1–3  
SCSI Buses  
The enclosure supports only Wide-Ultra2 SCSI, wide (16-bit), internal LVD buses.  
Depending on the host interface, the external SCSI bus, the bus from the I/O module to the  
host can be either Wide-Ultra or Wide-Ultra2, LVD or SE. The SCSI bus type determines  
the length of this bus, and therefore, the maximum cable length. The standard Compaq  
cable length of 12 ft (3.7 m) ensures satisfactory operation. As for all SCSI buses, the  
shorter the cable, the more efficient the bus operation.  
High Availability  
The high availability features of the enclosure are a function of the fans and the power  
supplies.  
Variable Speed Fans  
All enclosures have two variable speed fans. In all configurations, the failure of one fan  
automatically causes the other fan to operate at a high speed. This ensures that the failure  
of a single fan does not disable the enclosure.  
Power Supplies  
In a single power supply configuration, the failure of a power supply disables the  
enclosure. Use the optional redundant power supply configuration to prevent this. In this  
configuration, the failure of a single power supply or fan does not disable the enclosure.  
Data Integrity  
Data integrity could be compromised if data transfers occur when there is no DC power to  
the I/O module or the drives, To avoid inducing errors, the power pins on these elements  
are longer than the data pins. This ensures that power is always present when a data  
transfer occurs.

Status Monitoring and Display  
The major status monitoring capabilities of these enclosures include:  
Displaying the enclosure status on the enclosure LEDs  
Displaying the element status on the power supply, EMU, drive, and I/O module LEDs  
Detecting the installation of a fan, power supply, drive, or I/O module  
Detecting the removal of a fan, power supply, drive, or I/O module  
Sensing enclosure temperatures  
Sensing power supply voltage, current, and total power  
The EMU user guide describes the functions and features of the EMU.  
Enclosure Layout  
The physical layout of the enclosure is the same whether in a rack or a tower. The drives  
mount in the bays in the front of the enclosure. These bays are numbered from the left  
(bay ) to the right (bay , see Figure 1–3). The common method of referring to a drive  
is by the bay number. The drive in bay  
forth.  
is drive 1, the drive in bay  
is drive 8, and so  
At location  
are the three enclosure status LEDs.

Major Elements  
The elements each enclosure requires for proper operation include:  
An EMU  
Two power supplies, or  
1 power supply and 1 fan mounting assembly  
Two Fans  
An I/O module  
A disk drive or disk drive blank in each bay  
Element Functions  
A full description of the individual elements and their functions can be found in the  
individual chapters.  
Element Replacement  
The methods used to replace an element depend upon several factors. The primary factors  
are:  
Could element replacement affect SCSI bus operation?  
When the element being replaced does not interrupt data transfer nor affect the  
operation of another element, the element is “hot-pluggable.”  
If replacement of the element could affect data transfers or the operation of another  
element, the element replacement method is “pluggable.”  
Are there any personal safety issues involved?  
Whenever there is an issue involving personal safety, such as an electrical hazard, then  
the element replacement requires quiescing the SCSI bus and removing power from the  
enclosure.  
Table 1–1 identifies the replacement method and type of replacement for each element.

Starting the Enclosure  
With the enclosure installed in a rack or tower it is necessary to:  
1. Connect the SCSI bus cables.  
2. Apply power.  
3. Verify proper operation.  
Connecting the SCSI Bus Cables  
Connecting the enclosure to a host adapter or SCSI bus controller is simply a matter of  
connecting cables to the I/O module. All I/O modules has 68-pin, very high density  
computer interface (VHDCI) connectors.  
Figure 2–1 shows the cable connectors for a single bus configuration.  
CAUTION: Connecting or disconnecting a SCSI bus cable while data is being  
transferred causes the loss of data.  
To prevent inducing an error, always quiesce the SCSI bus before connecting or  
disconnecting a cable.

1. Stop all SCSI bus data transfers.  
2. Align the D-shaped cable connector with D-shaped I/O module connector.

3. Firmly seat the cable connector on the module connector.  
4. Finger tighten the thumbscrews to fully seat the connector.  
5. Restart data transfers over the SCSI bus.  
Applying Power  
There are no disk enclosure power control switches. Connecting an AC power cord from a  
power source to the power supply is all that is required. When a power supply has an AC  
input, it develops and distributes DC voltages within the enclosure.  
Verifying Operation  
Applying power causes the elements to begin operating. Check the enclosure status LEDs  
in the front, lower right corner (see Figure 2–2). If the display is not exactly as shown,  
there is an element error condition. Check the drive and enclosure status LEDs on the front  
and the EMU, power supplies, fans, and I/O module status LEDs on the rear (see  
Figure 2–3) to determine the defective element.
