3. Adding Optional Components

3.1 Before Starting Addition of Optional Components

NOTICE: During the addition work, the part statuses in the Web Console , Maintenance
Utility, and Maintenance windows might be displayed differently from the actual
statuses. (Example: The Drives during the addition are displayed as the [Blocked]
status.)
In that case, complete the running maintenance operation, and then refresh the
display information in each window.

If you make a mistake in operation during an addition of the optional component, it is feared that user data
in the Storage System is lost. Therefore, perform the following before starting the addition of the optional
component to provide against an unexpected accident.
1. Backup user data.
Backup user data in the Storage System by the operation on the host computer side.
2. The work to add an optional component varies depending on the component and a location where the
component is to be installed. Besides, perform the addition after making sure whether the work must be
done with the Storage System power turned on or off.
• An addition with the Storage System power turned on :
A status in which the Storage System power is turned on regardless of whether the system (host
computer) is turned on or off.
• An addition with the Storage System power turned off :
A status in which the Storage System power is turned off regardless of whether the system (host
computer) is turned on or off.
3. When adding the optional component, it is required to change the settings of the Storage System using a
Maintenance PC connected via a LAN. Make the following preparations before starting the addition of
the optional component.
• Prepare a PC in which Web Console is installed. The PC must be used in the LAN environment.
• Ask the customer whether the Storage System is operable via a LAN. If not, obtain customerʼs
permission to operate the Storage System via a LAN.
4. Promote mutual understanding with the user about the possibility of a system down in order to minimize
damage caused by failures.
5. When adding the optional component with the Storage System power turned on, the operation replacing
dummy (Drive) with Drive has to be finished within 10 minutes.
6. It is required to install the adaptable firmware depending on the parts to be added.
Check the adaptable firmware revision. See OPTION & FIRMWARE VERSION SECTION “1.
Relationship between Option and Firmware Version”.
Install the Web Console stored in the installation media that includes the adaptable firmware or the later
version of the Web Console in the Maintenance PC.
If the Web Console compatible with the adaptable firmware is not installed, the setting for the option to
be added cannot be made.
7. Connect only the regular parts defined in the “Maintenance Manual” for the maintenance parts.
8. Do not work behind DB60 for a long time.

5. Installing rails
NOTE: • The shape of the rail (R) and that of the rail (L) are the same. However, the place to
attach the nut is different.
When viewed from the front of the rack, the difference is as follows:
Right side: The part that can be extended is the rear side. The nut is attached to the
rear side.
Left side: The part that can be extended is the front side. The nut is attached to the
rear side.
• These rails extend or shorten back and forth.
(1) When the length of the rail needs to be adjusted to fit a rack to be used, remove the screw and nut
(stopper), adjust the rail length, and then install them again.
In usual cases, only the left rail (when viewed from the front of the rack) needs to be adjusted.
When the length of the rail does not need to be adjusted or when the rail is installed in the RKU
rack, leave the screw and nut (stopper) as they are and go to Step (2).
(2) When the rack installation hole is circular, replace positioning pin  with the supplied pin screw ( φ
6.8 head screw).
When the rack installation hole is rectangular, go to Step (3) (remain the guide screw ( φ 9.2 head
screw) as is).
(3) When the rack installation hole is circular, replace positioning pin  with the supplied pin screw ( φ
6.8 head screw).
When the rack installation hole is rectangular, go to Step (4) (remain the guide screw ( φ 9.2 head
screw) as is).
(4) Hook the supplied spring on the spring hook part on the rear of the rail (the direction is not
required).
(5) Work on the left rail in the similar procedure.
