Completing the logical installation of the I/O enclosures

The steps in this procedure power-on and logically install each I/O enclosure pair. The lower pair will be logically installed first followed by the upper pair (if present).

1. At the front of Rack-2, connect the four power cables to the power supplies of the lower I/O enclosure pair, R2-XI3 (U1500.2B3.sssssss) and R2-XI4 (U1500.2B4.sssssss). The lower two I/O enclosures will power on.
2. At the front of Rack-2, connect the four power cables to the power supplies of the upper I/O enclosure pair, R2-XI1 (U1500.2B1.sssssss) and R2-XI2 (U1500.2B2.sssssss), if present. The upper two I/O enclosures will power on.
   Note: R2-XI1 and R2-XI2 are not present in model 98B.
3. Perform the logical installation and verification steps for all I/O enclosures.
   1. From the navigation area, click Storage Facility Management > storage facility.
   2. From the bottom Task area, click MES Install/Remove > Install I/O Enclosure or Components. A Multiple Choice Message Box window opens.
   3. Select Install I/O Enclosures and click Submit.
   4. For model 98B, the Multiple Choice Message Box window prompts you to select one or more I/O enclosure pairs. Select the check box for U1500.2B3.sssssss and U1500.2B4.sssssss. Then, click Submit.
   5. For model 98E and model 98F, the Multiple Choice Message Box window prompts you to select one or more I/O enclosure pairs. Select the check boxes for U1500.2B1.sssssss and U1500.2B2.sssssss and U1500.2B3.sssssss and U1500.2B4.sssssss. Then, click Submit.
   6. Follow the guided process to complete the logical installation and verification for this pair of I/O enclosures.
   7. When directed to return to the MES installation instruction to install U1500.2B1.sssssss, click Next to continue. This applies to all models except 98B.
   8. When directed to return to the MES installation instruction to install U1500.2B2.sssssss, click Next to continue. This applies to all models except 98B.
   9. When directed to return to the MES installation instruction to install U1500.2B3.sssssss, click Next to continue.
   10. When directed to return to the MES installation instruction to install U1500.2B4.sssssss, click Next to continue.
   11. When notified that the installation has completed successfully and directed to return to the MES or installation instructions, click Next to finish the installation process.
4. Display and repair any open serviceable events.
   • If there are none, go to the next step.
   • If there is an open serviceable event with SRC 10009135, do not repair it, instead close or ignore it. It is an expected error from opening the SPCN cable loop. Go to the next step.
   • If there is an open serviceable event with an SRC other than 10009135, repair it and then go to the next step.
5. View the storage facility status. If any of the system check results display as FAILED, view the details and refer to MAP1100 View storage facility state (end of call). Before you continue the installation, all status fields should display as PASSED.
   1. To display further details, select a row and click Details.
   A window displays the status (passed/failed) of 25 or more system checks. The following is an example.

   

   Note: If the status for Large File Transfer displays as FAILED, the remaining System Check Types below it cannot be displayed.
6. Select the condition that applies and corresponding action to take. Refer to Table 1, Figure 2, Figure 3, Figure 4, Figure 5, and Figure 6.
