Page 12: About This Guide
Introduction This guide provides information about initial hardware setup, and removal and installation of customer-replaceable units (CRUs) for the Lenovo ThinkSystem™ DS6200/DS4200/DS2200 controller enclosures, as well as the DS Series Exp Unit (DS EXP) and D3284 expansion enclosures In controller enclosures, controller modules can be purchased with either of two types of host interface: SAS or FC/iSCSI. -

Please refer to “Replacing a power cooling module”... -
Page 18: Rack System Safety Precautions
IMPORTANT: The enclosure must be grounded before applying power. • The plug on the power supply cord is used as the main disconnect device. Ensure that the socket outlets are located near the equipment and are easily accessible. • 2U enclosures are intended to operate with two PCMs. •... - Page 19 • The electrical distribution system must provide a reliable earth connection for each enclosure in the rack. • Each PCM or PSU in each enclosure has an earth leakage current of 1.0mA. The design of the electrical distribution system must take into consideration the total earth leakage current from all power supply modules in all enclosures.

Page 25: Enclosure Variants
Enclosure variants The 2U chassis can be configured as a controller enclosure (DS6200, DS4200, or DS2200) or an expansion enclosure (DS EXP) as shown in Table 3 Table 4. The 5U chassis can be configured as a expansion enclosure (DS EXP) as shown in Table IMPORTANT: The 2U and 5U core products–including key components and CRUs–are described herein. -
Page 26: 2U Enclosure Core Product
IMPORTANT: DS Series and DS EXP/D3284 storage enclosures support dual-controller configuration only. If a partner controller fails, the storage system will fail over and run on a single controller module until the redundancy is restored. For RBODs and EBODs, an IOM must be installed in each IOM slot to ensure sufficient air flow through the enclosure during operation. -
Page 27: 2U Enclosure Rear Panel
2U enclosure rear panel Numeric designators on PCMs and alphabetic designators on IOMs indicate slot sequencing for modules used in 2U enclosures. PCM and IOM modules are available as CRUs. The DS6200 and DS4200 RBODs use 4-port controller modules, whereas the DS2200 RBODs use 2-port controller modules. The DS Series RBODs support the DS EXP EBODs for optionally adding storage. -

IMPORTANT: Drawer sideplanes—also known as side cards—can be hot-swapped as field-replaceable units (FRUs). However, these FRUs require a special tool, and replacement should be performed by qualified service personnel. For additional information, contact support.lenovo.com, select Product support and navigate to Storage Products. -
Page 35: 5U Enclosure Chassis
The 2U enclosures use a redundant PCM that integrates a power supply and cooling fan within the same CRU module, as shown in Figure 22 (page 30). Conversely, the 5U enclosures use separate CRU modules for power supply and cooling/circulation, respectively. Figure 28 shows the power supply module, which provides the enclosure with power connection and a power switch. -
Page 36: Operator's (Ops) Panel
Opening a drawer does not interrupt the functioning of the storage system, and DDICs can be hot-swapped while the enclosure is in operation. However, drawers must not be left open for longer than 2 minutes, or airflow and cooling will be compromised. IMPORTANT: During normal operation, drawers should be closed to ensure proper airflow and cooling within the enclosure. -

Page 39: Power Cooling Module - 2U Enclosures
Power cooling module – 2U enclosures AC-DC power is provided by up to two auto-ranging Power Cooling Modules (PCMs) with integrated axial cooling fans. The IOMs control fan speed. Also see “System airflow” (page 40) for optimal cooling within the enclosure(s). -
Page 40: System Airflow
PCMs are hot-pluggable, and replacement should only take a few seconds to do. Replacement must be completed as soon as possible after the removal of the defective PCM to avoid a thermal exception. The replacement procedure should be completed within an absolute maximum of 2 minutes. IMPORTANT: Operation of the enclosure with any modules missing will disrupt the airflow, and the disks will not receive sufficient cooling. - Page 41 Dual PSUs provide redundant power for the 5U system: if one PSU fails, the other keeps the system running while you replace the faulty module. PSUs are hot-swappable. Replacement of a PSU can be performed while the enclosure is running, but the procedure must be completed within two minutes of the removal of the defective module.

Page 42: Fan Cooling Module - 5U Enclosures
Fan cooling module – 5U enclosures The five fan cooling modules (FCMs) at the rear of the enclosure maintain all system components below their maximum temperature, assuming the ambient temperature is below 35ºC. Fan speed within the FCMs is governed by the controller modules. -

The 10GbE iSCSI ports are used in either of two capacities: • To connect two storage systems through a switch for use of replication. • For attachment to 10GbE iSCSI hosts directly, or through a switch used for the 10GbE iSCSI traffic. The first usage option requires valid licensing for the replication feature, whereas the second option requires that the host computer supports Ethernet, iSCSI, and optionally, multipath I/O. -
