FibreCAT TXF Operating Manual 5

1 PrefaceThe demand for scalable storage capacity and the increasing trend towards rack-based servers call for correspondingly compact and powerful backup systems that can ensure the necessary data security.

Figure 1: FibreCAT TXF backup subsystem

The FibreCAT TXF backup subsystem provides a flexible means of consoli-dating rack-based data security. The FibreCAT TXF backup subsystem makes it possible to install today's backup devices (such as LTO3 Ultrium, DDS Gen5, VXA-320, etc.) in a separate 19" housing. The FibreCAT TXF backup subsystem is available in different models for SCSI-, SAS-, or USB technology. Each I/O module has 4 ports for the connection of up to 4 servers and it has a power management for the remote on/off of a single drives or the complete system. The backup subsystem provides four 1.6"-high bays for this purpose. The backup subsystem is also ready to accommodate future backup devices.

The backup subsystem offers a simple, flexible and reasonably priced solution for avoiding backup constraints and enabling expansion.

The models are equipped with different input modules and cable chain variants.

The FibreCAT TXF backup subsystem has an integrated power supply unit. The FibreCAT TXF backup subsystem is cooled by a fan. The fan is monitored to ensure that it does not fall below the nominal speed.

In the 19" rack, the FibreCAT TXF backup subsystem occupies three height units (3 HU).

To accommodate the ventilation concept and ensure proper ventilation, any unused areas in the rack must be sealed using dummy covers.

The power is supplied via the multiple socket outlets fitted in the rack.

The main features of the Fujitsu Siemens Computers GmbH rack systems are:

PRIMECENTER Rack

– Telescopic rails or bearing rails screwed to the front.

The rails have a linear alignment feature to ensure that they can be adjusted to different rack depths.

– Enhanced cable management in the lateral rack area.


Rack requirements Installation

DataCenter Rack

– Telescopic rails screwed to the front (except in the rear left area, where a support bracket is used).

– Enhanced cable management in the lateral rack area.

The mounting of the rails in the different racks is described in the next sections.

Installation of the cable management is described in detail in the Technical Manual for the respective rack.

3rd party rack

The following general conditions apply to rack systems of several other manufacturers:

– Installation dimensions (see the dimensions shown in figure 3 on page 24):

– You must ensure that the safety mechanisms on the server, e.g. stoppers or retaining systems, are functioning correctly.

– The shape of the rack support uprights must ensure that the telescopic rails can be bolted at the front.

I To bring the switch to this position, you have to release the slide switch by pressing the locking mechanism down.


5 Troubleshooting

5.1 Backup subsystem cannot be switched on

Ê Check the position of the power switch and, if necessary, move the switch to the "Remote" or "On" position (see also “Power switch” on page 40).

Ê Check the connections to the server and the mains connection.

Ê Boot the system unit again.

5.2 SCSI devices are not detected

If the backup subsystem is switched on late (e.g. by plugging in the power cable), the SCSI devices may not be detected when the system unit is booted.

I The setting „remote“ can avoid that the system is switched on too late

Ê Check the mains connection.

Ê Reboot the system unit.

5.3 Incorrect SCSI ID

The backup device does not respond with demanded SCSI ID, or there is an address conflict on the SCSI bus:

Ê Check the address jumper of the backup device involved. Refer to the documentation for the backup device for help.

The address jumpers of most backup devices are located on the rear of the device.

Ê Set the SCSI ID.


Fan failure Troubleshooting

5.4 Fan failure

Ê Use the error LED in the control panel (see page 39) to determine whether the system fan or power supply fan has failed.

Ê Check that the ventilation slots are not covered.

Ê If the error occurs again, contact your service partner.

5.5 Replacing the backup device

Ê You switch off the backup device you wish to replace as follows:

– The power switch is in position I:

Switch the backup subsystem to the setting Remote by moving the power switch to position R (see page 40).

Switch off the server to which the backup device is connected or disconnect the related external cable to this server.

– The power switch is in position R:

Switch off the server to which the backup device is connected or disconnect the related external cable to this server.

Once you have successfully switched off the backup device, the related drive indicator (Drive Power 1...4) in the control panel goes out (see page 39).

I There are different possiblilities of configuration beween in the Input of the input module and the backup devices. The in factory setted standard configuration you can find in the section “Connecting the backup subsystem” on page 33. If you need an other configuraton please contact the service.

For the SCSI daisy chain configuration, two backup devices are connected internally to one SCSI cable. In this case, both backup devices must be switched off.
