Overview
Standard 1.0 Modular Option EC Installation and Maintenance Guide November 1999
Overview
Introduction
This chapter provides instructions on how to install disk and
tape drives. You need to install drives in each module of the
system.
Overview of disk
drives
Your system comes with one disk drive for each unshadowed
node and two drives for each shadowed node. Every drive is
labeled for the node it belongs to, and mounts on a disk drive
carrier which also holds the connector to the backplane. Disks
that are in the top disk drive mass storage unit (MSU) slots
(MSU3 and MSU5) contain an auxiliary power pack. This
includes the secondary disk in a shadowed node and the disk in
node 3 of an unshadowed 3-, 4-, or 5-node system.
The system supports 300 Mbyte, 1.0 Gbyte, 2 Gbyte, and
4 Gbyte disk drives. The disk drives, manufacturer model
number, and Nortel Networks Product Engineering Codes
(PEC) are shown in the table “Modular Option EC disk drives”
on page 7-3.
You must verify jumper settings before you install drives. Disk
drive jumper settings are shown in the disk drive illustrations in
this chapter. See “Disk drive diagrams” on page 7-13.
Note: Diagrams of the disk drives are for reference only. These
diagrams are not drawn to scale and do not include details of the
disks that are not relevant to the procedure described.
