Provide a safe electrical ground connection to the power cord (check the
grounding of an enclosure before applying power).
Only operate the High-performance NAS Platform from nominal mains input
voltages in the range 100 - 240Vac, 60-50Hz, 7-3.5A.
Caution:Turn off all power supplies or remove all power cords before undertaking
servicing of the system.
Data Security
viii
Each storage enclosure contains multiple removable hard disk drive (HDD)
modules. These units are fragile. Handle them with care and keep them away
from strong magnetic fields.
All supplied plug-in modules and blanking plates must be in place to complete the
internal circuitry and enable air to flow correctly around an enclosure.
Using the system for more than a few minutes with modules or blanking plates
missing can cause an enclosure to overheat, leading to power failure and data
loss. Such use may invalidate the warranty.
A loss of data can occur if a hard drive module is removed. Immediately replace
any modules that are removed. If a module is faulty, replace it with one of the
same type, of at least the same capacity and speed.
Safety Information
The SFPs approved for use with supported storage enclosures vary depending on
the original manufacturer of the unit. SFPs qualified for older systems might not
be approved for use with the most current storage systems. To ensure proper
operation of the High-performance NAS Platform and the storage subsystems, use
only the approved replacement parts for each system, which can be purchased by
contacting your sales representative.

Battery
Each power supply includes a battery unit that is part of the High-performance NAS
Platforms stable storage solution. The batteries within each PSU module operate in both
a redundant and parallel manner.
Both batteries must be present and charged to support the full NVRAM backup period, but
either battery on its own can backup the NVRAM for a shorter period of time. A fullycharged, dual battery system should keep the High-performance NAS Platforms NVRAM
alive for about 72 hours. Charging time will be at a rate of 8 hours of backup for every
hour of charging time, or approximately nine hours for a complete charge.
Warning: PSU model 600 contains a lithium-ion battery that is not field-replaceable.
If the battery in a PSU model 600 fails, the entire PSU should be replaced, and the
failed unit must be disposed of responsibly. Contact Hitachi Data Systems Technical
Resource Center (TRC) for more information on disposing of a PSU. PSU model 610
contains a field-replaceable battery. If the battery in a PSU model 610 fails, contact
Hitachi Data Systems Technical Resource Center (TRC) to arrange for battery
replacement.
Hardware Reference
21
When the High-performance NAS Platform is not powered up, or when the PSU is not
installed, the battery will begin to slowly discharge. Periodic recharging is required to
preserve the service life of the battery. Once the battery is completely discharged, failure
to recharge the unit within a couple of days will result in permanent degradation of the
battery service life.
In normal use, the battery life expectancy is limited by chemical processes inherent to
the lithium-ion cells that make up the battery. This loss of capacity is monitored regularly
by the server, and this information is saved in a battery status log. These logs are useful
in concluding the state of the battery.
22
Set aside the old battery pack for proper disposal in accordance with applicable
environmental regulations.
3. Pull the connector from the mating battery charger receptacle on the charger
card.
4. Insert the new battery pack with the metal surface facing towards the inside of the
PSU.
5. Align the battery pack connector so that the protruding tab faces the rear of the
PSU module.
Hardware Reference
23
6. Push the connector into the mating receptacle on the charger card, and ensure it
is fully seated.
7. Arrange the connecting wires into the PSU casing so that they will not be pinched
when the access cover is reinstalled.
8. Realign the access cover with the mounting holes, and install the five countersunk
screws on the front and side of the PSU. Fasten them snugly but do not
overtighten.
9. Reinstall the pan-head screw through the rear panel of the PSU and into the
access cover. Fasten snugly.
24
4. Remove the module by pulling and lifting the ejection levers outwards.
5. Slide the module carefully out of the enclosure.
6. Replace the module by sliding the new module in the correct position (refer to the
module position indicator) until it stops.
Note: Modules are keyed only to fit into their correct slot. Therefore, do
not try and force a module into a different slot. The module position in the
chassis is indicated by the graphic in the bottom right hand corner of each
module.
Hardware Reference
25
7. Lock the module in place by pushing inwards on the Ejection Levers until a click is
heard.
8. Refasten the Retaining Screws.
9. Switch the power switches on the PSUs to the ON position.
Note: In a cluster configuration, all servers must be upgraded to the same model
before the cluster can be restarted.
26
If the FSA/FSX module does not have a package file pre-loaded, you must
load the package via the SSLoader.
If the FSA/FSX module does have a package file, check the currently
loaded package version against the version recorded in step 3. If the
package already loaded on the FSA/FSX module is older than the version
recorder in step 3, you must load the most current firmware package via
the SSLoader.
If it is necessary to reload software, reload the complete software image file (do
not strip unused files). Refer to the Hitachi High-performance NAS Platform
System Installation Guide for instructions on using SSLoader and loading the
software.
8. Perform steps 7 through 11 of the procedure described in "Replacing a NIM 1060
with a NIM 1200," on page 27.
9. Swap in the FSB and SIM according to the procedure described in "Replacing a
Hitachi High-performance NAS Platform Module (Non-Upgrade)," on page 25.
10. Reboot and verify that the hardware database has been updated.
To verify hardware database has been updated, enter the following CLI command:
dblog |grep HWDB
The output of this command should be similar to the following:
HWDB scores: NIM 7, FSM 7, SIM 7
If any module has a score lower then 7, the hardware database is incorrect. In this
situation, contact Hitachi Data Systems Technical Resource Center (TRC) for
assistance.

You have reviewed the procedure below to familiarize yourself with the NIM 1060
and NIM 1200, and module replacement procedures.
Hardware Reference
27
All servers are running code build 4.3.990b, or later. Verify that the server is
running the full package and not a stripped version; otherwise, the code required
for the NIM 1200 is not present.
SSLoader is installed on the NIM 1200. If there is no SSLoader on the new NIM
1200, you must upload it manually using Xmodem before it is possible to boot the
server. Refer to the Hitachi High-performance NAS Platform System Installation
Guide for instructions on using SSLoader.
A copy of the ssc.exe program. If ssc.exe will be run from a Windows system,
you must also have the associated mingwm10.dll file. Storing these files and the
software package files together in C:\TEMP is recommended.
Ensure that the 10 gigabit Ethernet (10 GbE) and 1 gigabit Ethernet (GE)
configurations match (these configurations must be consistent across all nodes of
the cluster). The number of ports in aggregations and the use of link aggregation
control protocol (LACP) should be the same in both the 10 GbE (10 Gbps) and the
GE (1 Gbps) configurations.
28
Once the NIM 1200 is installed, public data network connections from the
NIM 1200 must now be plugged into 10 GbE switch ports, rather than 1 GE
switch ports.
Hardware Reference

NAS Platform automatically (which may take up to five minutes).
Reboot all nodes - If configured as a cluster, select this radio button to restart all
cluster nodes.
Shutdown node - Select this radio button to shut down the specified server/node
and bring it to a state in which it can be safely powered down.
Shutdown all nodes - If configured as a cluster, select this radio button to shut
down all cluster nodes and bring them to a state in which they can be safely
powered down.

If the NVRAM status LED is off, the batteries in the PSU will no longer
power the NVRAM, and the PSUs are shut down correctly for storage and/
or shipment.
If the NVRAM status LED is on (either green or amber), then remove both
PSU modules simultaneously, wait for at least 10 seconds, and replace the
PSUs in the chassis.
5. Optionally, you can remove the PSUs from the High-performance NAS Platform to
fully disengage them from the system.
Note: Complete battery discharge can also happen if the High-performance NAS
Platform is shut down correctly but left in an unpowered state for more than 20
days, with the PSU modules plugged in. If the High-performance NAS Platform is to
be left powered off for any significant period of time, remove the PSU modules from
the chassis.
For long term storage of PSU spares, contact a support representative at Hitachi Data
Systems.
When the system is shutdown under normal circumstances, depending on the battery
charge level, the battery can last from 1 to 6 months. Contact a BlueArc representative
for special instructions if servers or PSUs will be in storage for more than 1 month.
Special provisions will be required for field or factory recharging and retesting of PSUs.

Management Interfaces
The High-performance NAS Platform offers two types of physical management ports:
All management ports are physically located on the NIM, and provide connections to ports
within the High-performance NAS Platform cabinet only. The System Management Unit
(SMU) provides the rack component management function.
Note: Depending on the model and configuration of your High-performance NAS
Platform, the number and type of Ethernet ports on the NIM module may be different
than shown above.
