Add extra storageDisk-array enclosure typesBefore you install DAEs in your cabinet, review the DAE section in the VNX5700 Hardware Information Guide. This guide provides cabling examples for interleaving and stacking your DAEs. Note: The cabling examples described in this guide are for illustration purposes only. Your system cabling might be different based on how many DAEs you install and whether you use load balancing to install these DAEs. DAEs are optional components that add extra storage. DAEs come in:

2U, 25 (2.5-inch) DAE as shown in Figure 43. 3U, 15 (3.5-inch) DAE as shown in Figure 44 on page 52.

If DAEs are used, the DAEs should be installed above the top-most blade enclosure in the cabinet. Either type of DAE may be installed. The arrangement of the DAEs in a cabinet may depend upon a number of factors. For more information on DAE assembling and arrangement, see the VNX5700 Hardware Information Guide.

Assembling the DAEsThe DAE is heavy and should be installed into a rack by two people. To avoid personal injury and/or damage to the equipment, do not attempt to lift and install the enclosure into a rack without a mechanical lift or help from another person. 1. Unpack shipping boxes. 2. Verify that the following DAE components were shipped: Mounting screws Bezel SAS cables Power cables 3. Label the cables: a. Locate the DAE cables and the sheet of labels shown in Figure 45. b. Attach the cable labels by matching the icons on the connectors with the icons on the labels.

4. Install the DAE rails: A 2U DAE will use 2U rails and the 3U DAE will use 3U rails. The DAE rails should be installed above the topmost blade enclosure. The rails must be aligned carefully. When arranging DAEs in your cabinet, you should consider rack space, I/O load balancing across the disks, and convenience. TheVNX5700 Hardware Information Guide provides more information on racking and cabling options. a. Insert the adjustable rail slide and seat both alignment pins into the rear channel of your cabinet as shown in Figure 46. b. Extend the rail and align the front of the rails. c. Insert two retention screws in the front and two retention screws in the back of each rail.Alignment pins

5. Install the DAE:

Two people are required to install the components. To avoid personal injury and/or damage to the equipment, do not attempt to lift and install the enclosure into a rack without a mechanical lift or help from another person. a. Slide the DAE onto the rails so that they line up with the tabs in the rear as shown in Figure 47. b. When the DAE is in place, tighten all of the screws. It may be easier to install the screws working in a diagonal pattern, such as bottom left and top right, bottom right and top left. c. Repeat, as appropriate, with any other DAEs.

Connect SPE and DAE cablesThe SAS ports on the SPE are labeled 0, 1, 2, and 3. The VNX5700 Hardware Information Guide provides examples of how to cable DAEs in your VNX5700 for interleaved or stacked environments. In this example, one DAE is being added. 1. Locate one pair of cables for each DAE as shown in Figure 48.

The connectors for LCC A and LCC B must be connected with the tabs in the opposite position. For example, on both DAEs, because LCC A and LCC B are reversed, the cable connections into LCC B and LCC A are also reversed. If the tab on the connector for LCC A is up, then the tab on LCC B must be down.
