DANGER An electrical outlet that is not correctly wired could place hazardous voltage on metal parts of the system or the devices that attach to the system. It is the responsibility of the customer to ensure that the outlet is correctly wired and grounded to prevent an electrical shock.
Page 7
Electrical voltage and current from power, telephone, and communication cables are hazardous. To avoid a shock hazard: v Connect power to this unit only with the IBM provided power cord. Do not use the IBM provided power cord for any other product.
Labels As an added precaution, safety labels are often installed directly on products or product components to warn of potential hazards. The actual product safety labels may differ from these sample safety labels: DANGER Hazardous voltage, current, or energy levels are present inside any component that has this label attached.
Attention notices An attention notice indicates the possibility of damage to a program, device, or system, or to data. An exclamation point symbol may accompany an attention notice, but is not required. A sample attention notice follows: Attention: Do not bend a fibre cable to a radius less than 5 cm (2 in.);...
Rack safety Rack installation DANGER Observe the following precautions when working on or around your IT rack system: v Heavy equipment - personal injury or equipment damage might result if mishandled. v Always lower the leveling pads on the rack cabinet. v Always install stabilizer brackets on the rack cabinet.
Page 11
CAUTION: v Do not install a unit in a rack where the internal rack ambient temperatures will exceed the manufacturer’s recommended ambient temperature for all your rack-mounted devices. v Do not install a unit in a rack where the air flow is compromised. Ensure that air flow is not blocked or reduced on any side, front, or back of a unit used for air flow through the unit.
Page 12
Rack relocation (19″ rack) CAUTION: Removing components from the upper positions in the rack cabinet improves rack stability during relocation. Follow these general guidelines whenever you relocate a populated rack cabinet within a room or building: v Reduce the weight of the rack cabinet by removing equipment starting at the top of the rack cabinet.

Each EXN1000 expansion unit in a loop must have a unique ID. A valid shelf ID is from 1 through 7. ID 1 is used for the first EXN1000 in a new loop, or if the filer also contains disks, then ID 2 is used for the EXN1000 closest to the N series storage system controller (which uses ID 1).
IBM sets the disk shelf IDs at the factory on configured systems, using an ID switch on the back panel. If you order additional EXN1000 expansion units, you must set the disk shelf ID and apply the correct labels provided with the EXN1000.
Note: For AT-FCX module A, drive addressing is in descending order, and for AT-FCX module B, drive addressing is ascending order. AT-FCX A is the top controller module in the EXN1000. AT-FCX B is the bottom controller module. Figure 3. EXN1000 disk shelf IDs and drive addressing...
The 14 drive bays in the EXN1000 expansion unit are numbered 0 through 13 from right to left, as shown in Figure 1 on page 8. Hard disk drives should be populated in adjacent drive bays in the expansion unit in this sequence, beginning with drive bay 0.

Chapter 2. Connecting an EXN1000 expansion unit This chapter describes how to connect a single EXN1000 expansion unit or a loop of EXN1000 expansion units to a supported N series storage system or to other expansion units. This chapter also describes how to ground your system and how to connect your system to power.
IBM strongly recommends using optical (fibre channel) cabling whenever possible. v Refer to the IBM System Storage N series Introduction and Planning Guide for details about the maximum number of drive loops, maximum number of expansion units or hard disk drives per loop, maximum total storage capacity, and maximum total number of hard disk drives for configurations using your N series storage system.
If possible, you should ground the N series storage system to the EXN1000. Each EXN1000 expansion unit is shipped with a 0.25m (~6 inch) braided copper cable and an M5 x 0.5 inch Phillips head screw. The copper cable has a hole on each end for grounding shelf-to-shelf.
