Storage-system components
The AX4-5 series storage system consists of rack-mountablestorage-system enclosures, 3.5 inches (2U) high, that contain 4 to 12serial advanced technology attachment (SATA) or serial attached SCSI(SAS) disk drives.
The AX4-5 and AX4-5SC storage systems use a Fibre Channel arbitratedloop (FC-AL) or Fibre Channel switch (FC-SW) as an interconnectinterface to host servers. The AX4-5i and AX4-5SCi storage systems usethe Internet Small Computer System Interface (iSCSI) protocol.
The AX4-5 and AX4-5SC are also called the AX4-5F and AX4-5FSC, respectively.Models with four Fibre Channel host ports per controller are called AX4–5F8or AX4–5FX, and AX4–5SCF4 or AX4–5FSCX. The AX4-5i and AX4-5SCi arealso called the AX4-5I and AX4-5ISC, respectively.
Navisphere® management software manages the storage systems fromany qualified workstation on a shared Ethernet LAN. SophisticatedRAID (redundant array of independent disk) technology and datacaching prevent data loss in case of component failure. Redundanthardware options provide levels of high availability usually restrictedto much larger (and more expensive) storage systems. Besideseconomical disks, the AX4-5 series storage systems include thefollowing major components:
A disk-processor enclosure (DPE-AX). A DPE-AX contains one(AX4-5SC or AX4-5SCi) or two (AX4-5 or AX4-5i) storage processors(SPs), each with:
One dual-inline memory module (DIMM)
One serial port (mini DB9 connector) for service
One 10/100/1000 Ethernet LAN port (RJ45 connector) formanagement
For the AX4-5 or AX4-5i, one serial port for connection to astandby power supply (SPS)
One input/output (I/O) module per SP, each with:
− For the AX4-5 or AX4-5SC, two or four 4-Gbps Fibre Channelhost ports with small form factor pluggable (SFP) connectors
2 Hardware and Operational Overview
− For the AX4-5i or AX4-5SCi, two Gigabit Ethernet (GigE)ports
Two power supply/system cooling (power/cooling) modules

AX4-5 and AX4-5i systems include a standby power supply (SPS); asecond SPS is optional. AX4-5 and AX4-5i systems support as many asfour optional disk array enclosures (DAE-AXs). Like the DPE-AX, eachDAE-AX includes two power/cooling modules and can contain a totalof twelve disk drives. Instead of SPs, a DAE-AX has two link controlcards (LCCs) that manage disks on a single redundant back-end bus.
You can install, upgrade, or replace all of the major storage-systemcomponents without professional assistance.
4 Hardware and Operational Overview
Disk and filler modules
Each DPE-AX includes at least four hard disk drives. The first fourdisks, marked 0-3, are system disks (sometimes called vault disks) andcontain vital software specific to the physical slot they occupy in thechassis. Do not move a system disk from its assigned slot to another slot.Remove a system disk only if you need to replace it because it failed.

Figure 5 DPE-AX system (vault) disks
If a drive fails, you can replace it with another while the storage systemcontinues running; software rebuilds the contents of the original diskonto its replacement.
DPE-AX and DAE-AX chassis have twelve slots for disk modules. Anyunoccupied disk module slot requires a filler module to maintain airflow.
Disk modules
Each disk module, shown in Figure 6, consists of one disk drive in acarrier. You can add or remove a disk module while the storage systemis powered up, but you should exercise special care when removingdrives while they are in use.

Figure 6 Disk module
Disk drives
The disk drives are standard 3.5-inch (8.75-cm) by 1.0-inch (2.54-cm)serial advanced technology attachment (SATA) or serial attachedSCSI (SAS) drives. AX4–5 systems also support 2.5–inch SAS drivesmounted in 3.5–inch drive carriers. For a detailed list of supporteddisk drives and the minimum revision of the FLARE® operatingenvironment (OE) that supports each disk, refer to the Disk and FLAREOE Matrix under “Technical description” on the Learn page on thestorage-system support website or contact your service provider.
Drive carrier
The disk drive carrier is a plastic assembly that provides smooth,reliable contact with the enclosure slot guides and system boardconnectors. It has a handle with a latch and spring clips. The latchholds the disk module in place to ensure proper connection with theconnectors.
6 Hardware and Operational Overview
Storage processors (SPs)
The storage processor (SP) is the storage system’s intelligent componentand acts as the input/output (front end) and data storage (back end)control center. Besides the processor board and memory DIMM, eachSP includes an I/O module that determines the connection protocolto host servers.
DPE-AX systems with two SPs support write caching for increasedperformance. The redundant storage processors also provide highavailability should one SP fail or lose power.
Hardware and Operational Overview 7
Link control cards (LCCs)
Optional disk array enclosures (DAE-AXs) do not include SPs, but uselink control cards (LCCs) to support additional disk capacity. The LCCsin each DAE-AX connect to expansion ports on SPs or other LCCs withserial-attached SCSI (SAS) expansion cables to create a redundantback-end bus that can support both SATA and SAS drives. Each LCCincludes a display indicating the enclosure address of the DAE-AX; theaddress is assigned automatically by the system. LCCs also include aservice port connector. An LCC receives input from the previous SPor LCC on the bus through a primary connector (marked by a circlesymbol) and can pass input to the next LCC on the bus through anexpansion connector (marked by a diamond symbol).
Figure 7 shows a DAE-AX with two LCCs below the power/coolingmodules.

8 Hardware and Operational Overview
Power/cooling modules
Each power/cooling module integrates an independent power supplyand blowers into a single module. The power supply in each moduleis an auto-ranging, power-factor-corrected, multi-output, offlineconverter.
The power/cooling modules, A and B, are located above the SPsor LCCs. They share load currents and provide power and coolingfor an entire enclosure. An SP, LCC, or power/cooling module withpower-related faults does not adversely affect the operation of anyother component. If one power/cooling module fails, the othercompensates until the failed module is replaced. If the failed module isin a dual-SP DPE-AX, the system also disables write caching. Removinga power/cooling module from the enclosure causes a cooling fault thatwill shut down the enclosure within two minutes.
Hardware and Operational Overview 9
Standby power supplies (SPSs)
A 1U, 1000-watt SPS provides backup power for power supply A. Anoptional second SPS supports power supply B. During a power failure,the SPSs allow write caching to continue, which prevents data loss. Afaulted or not fully charged SPS disables the write cache. Each SPS rearpanel has one AC inlet power connector with power switch, AC outletsfor the DPE-AX SPs, and one connector for serial connection to an SP.Figure 8 shows the SPS connectors and status lights.

10 Hardware and Operational Overview
Powerup and powerdown sequence
A DAE-AX does not have a power switch. It powers up immediately once itis connected to a live power source.
Powering up the storage system
1. Verify the following:
Master switch/circuit breakers for any cabinet/rack power stripare off.
The power cord for power/cooling module A in the DPE-AX(viewed from the rear, A is the right side of the enclosure) isplugged into the SPS, if present, and the power cord retentionbails are in place. In a storage system without an SPS, the powercord for power/cooling module A is plugged directly into apower source.
The power cord for power/cooling module B is plugged into thenearest power distribution unit on a different circuit feed thanthe SPS or module A. In systems with two SPSs, power/coolingmodule B is plugged into its corresponding SPS.
In a dual-SP system, the serial connection (sense cable) betweenSP A and SPS A is in place. If the system has two SPSs, the serialcable between SP B and SPS B is in place.
The power cords for the SPSs and any DAE-AXs are pluggedin; the power cords for the A and B sides do not share a powersource; and, the power cord retention bails are in place.
Any other devices in the cabinet are correctly installed andready for powerup.
Figure 9 shows a storage system with one SPS correctly cabled forhigh availability.

The storage system can take 5-6 minutes to complete its powerup.
If disk modules 0-3 shipped separately from your DPE-AX, the systemwrites vital information to those disks during the first powerup. Theprocess extends the first powerup by 25-30 minutes.
The system fault light on the front of the DPE-AX and the SPSrecharge lights on the rear of the SPS commonly stay on for severalminutes while the SPS fully charges.

Hardware and Operational Overview 13
storage system management software is available to help youtroubleshoot the system.
If the power buttons do not remain solid/steady green, contactyour authorized service provider.
Powering down the storage system
! CAUTION
Never shut down a DPE-AX by disconnecting the AC power cords forits power/cooling modules. Bypassing the controlled powerdown inthat manner prevents the system from saving any write cache data tothe system drives, and may result in data loss.
1. Stop all I/O activity to the DPE-AX. If the server connected to theDPE-AX is running the AIX, HP-UX, Linux, or Solaris operatingsystem, back up critical data and then unmount the file systemson storage-system virtual disks.
Stopping I/O allows the SP to save any cache data to the system drives,and may take some time. The length of time depends on criteria such as thesize of the cache, the amount of data in the cache, the type of data in thecache, and the target location on the disks, but it is typically less than oneminute. We recommend that you wait five minutes before proceeding.
2. For a dual-SP system, after five minutes, use the power switch oneach SPS to turn off power to its corresponding SP.
SPs with power/cooling modules connected to an SPS power downwithin two minutes.
3. Push the power button on SPs that are not connected to an SPS:
SP B in a single-SPS system
SP A in a single-SP DPE-AX
