StorageWorks Solutions SW500-Series Cabinet Inst and User's Gde

This document is the "StorageWorks SW500-Series Cabinet Installation and User's Guide." It provides comprehensive procedures for the mechanical and power configuration of Digital StorageWorks SW500-series cabinets.

Key topics covered include:

• Overview: Introduction to the SW500 cabinet, its major components (shelves, SBBs, controllers, CDUs), specifications, and cooling system.
• Site Preparation: General considerations for installation, environmental limits, and equipment grounding.
• Unpacking and Installation: Steps for unpacking the cabinet, removing it from its shipping pallet, configuring rack space, placing, leveling, and initial powering.
• Cabinet Configuration: Detailed instructions for configuring SW500 cabinets, differentiating between storage-only and controller/storage setups, including shelf locations and the installation of filler and air separation panels.
• Hardware Installation: Specific procedures for mounting StorageWorks shelves (using screw-mounted and tab-mounted brackets) and TZ8x7-series tape drives, along with their chassis rails and front bezels.
• Power Configuration: Discusses different AC power distribution options (single-cabinet, dual-shelf, dual-cabinet configurations) and CDU installation.
• Signal Cabling and Routing: Provides guidelines and specific routing instructions for SCSI-2 and CI signal cables within the cabinet.

The manual is intended for qualified service personnel, including customers and Digital Multivendor Customer Services engineers. It notes that detailed SCSI-2 bus design and connection specifics are covered in referenced StorageWorks documentation rather than in this guide.
