3. Reboot the ETERNUS CS800 via the remote management pages, see "Reboot &
Shutdown" on page 447. When the system boots up, a background initialize procedure
is started. The new disks are automatically integrated into the system and put into
service. No further actions are required.
Procedure of Storage Expansion starting with 8TB
For storage enhancement with a total capacity of 12, 16, 20 or 24TB an ETERNUS JX40
storage module is used.
Figure 395: Disk bays in JX40 used for storage expansion from 8TB to 12, 16, 20 or 24TB
Proceed as follows:
1. If the ETERNUS JX40 storage module is not already mounted to the rack: Mount the
module either immediately on top or immediately below the server. See section
"Cabling within the ETERNUS CS800 S5 System" on page 92“.
2. If the ETERNUS JX40 storage module is not already connected to the server: Connect
it to SAS RAID controller in PCI slot 2 of the server, see section "Entry: Connecting
JX40 and server" on page 95“.
3. If the disks are not already inserted to the ETERNUS JX40: Starting with the leftmost
unused bay (from the left to the right), replace the blank inserts one after the other by
2.5” 1TB Nearline SAS 7,200 rpm hard disks.
I
Only increments of six 2.5” 1TB Nearline SAS 7,200 rpm hard disks are
supported, i.e. either the bays 0 to 5 (for 12TB), 0 to 11 (16TB), 0 to 17 (20TB)
or 0 to 23 (24TB) must be filled up with disks, see Figure 395.
V
CAUTION!
● To avoid temperature rise, replacing a hard disk should be finished within 5
minutes if the ETERNUS JX40 is operating.
● Because of cooling, adherence to EMC (electromagnetic compatibility) require-
ments and fire protection all unused bays must be filled up with blank inserts.
