Safety Precautions  
Precautions and Instructions  
Prior to powering on the subsystem, ensure that the correct power range is being used.  
The RAID subsystems come with drive bays. Leaving any of these drive bays empty will  
seriously affect the efficiency of the airflow within the enclosure, and will consequently  
lead to the system overheating, which can cause irreparable damage.  
If a module fails, leave it in place until you have a replacement unit and you are ready to  
replace it.  
Airflow Consideration: The subsystem requires an airflow clearance, especially at the  
front and the rear side.  
Handle subsystem modules using the retention screws, extraction levers, and the metal  
frames/faceplates. Avoid touching PCB boards and connector pins.  
To comply with safety, emission, or thermal requirements, none of the covers or replace-  
able modules should be removed. Make sure that during operation, all enclosure modules  
and covers are securely in place.  
Be sure that the rack cabinet into which the subsystem chassis will be installed provides  
sufficient ventilation channels and airflow circulation around the subsystem.  
Provide a soft, clean surface to place your subsystem on before working on it. Servicing  
on a rough surface may damage the exterior of the chassis.  
If it is necessary to transport the subsystem, repackage all disk drives separately. If using  
the original package material, other replaceable modules can stay within the enclosure.  
ESD Precautions  
Observe all conventional anti-ESD methods while handling system modules. The use of a  
grounded wrist strap and an anti-static work pad are recommended. Avoid dust or debris in  
your work area.

Introduction  
This manual covers the DVA-08K series of RAID subsystems.  
With its basic hardware redundancy and the capability of fast I/O transfer, the 2U RAID SATA  
subsystem is an ideal solution to meet the ever increasing demands for addition of storage  
capacity. Despite its ease of use, the subsystem does not compromise data protection for  
convenience. The subsystem’s embedded firmware offers the same protection and mainte-  
nance functionalities as those designed for an enterprise-level RAID solution. The subsystems  
provide unprecedented configuration flexibility and allow for the customization of storage  
subsystems to meet specific demands. It is a rigorous and durable subsystem that can be eas-  
ily configured and operated.  
Fully featured RAID redundancy (which provides advanced data protection) ensures that the  
complete range of RAID levels (RAID 0, 1(0+1), 3, 5, 10, 30 and 50) is supported by the con-  
troller head. A long list of sophisticated firmware functions (dedicated/global hot-spares, bat-  
tery protected disk cache, configurable reaction schemes against drive errors, remote and  
real-time array monitoring, and more) further guarantees the overall availability of valuable  
data.  
IT managers using the RAID subsystems will be able to rapidly develop a comprehensive stor-  
age array. And the modular nature of the subsystem minimizes the maintenance effort to use  
the RAID appliance.  
2.1  
Product Overview  
The subsystem comes with two (2) SCSI-320 host channels interfaced through four (4) VHDCI  
68-pin SCSI ports. The subsystem comes in a 2U-profile rack-mountable chassis which houses  
a RAID controller module featuring complete RAID configuration and data protection function-  
ality. The subsystem’s operation is protected by redundant, hot-swappable power supplies  
and cooling fan modules. Designed for a high level availability, all major components are hot-  
replaceable including its Li-ION battery and the RAID-protected disk drives.  
The subsystem supports high-density array capacity by its eight drive bays for SATA-II inter-  
face disk drives. The subsystem facilitates large I/O transfer, over its dual PCI-X buses archi-  
tecture, and transmission of block I/Os over flexible caching and a dedicated XOR engine. The  
subsystem is ideal for direct-attached data storage, backup, and retrieval. It combines the  
capabilities and block-level performance of RAID storage with the reliable SCSI transfer tech-  
nologies.  
Configured arrays are easily combined with multiple ID/LUNs that appear to the host ports,  
turning massive capacity into manageable units for data-sharing in a heterogeneous environ-  
ment.  
The RAID 2U-profile, SCSI-to-SATA RAID storage comes in two different models. The only dif-  
ference between the two models is the number of SATA-II drive bays.  
SCSI Host Ports  
Connectivity: The subsystem features a 320MB/s bandwidth from each of its SCSI host chan-  
nels. The dual-stack VHDCI connectors on the rear panel facilitate the connection to multiple  
host computers and combining the storage capacities of multiple RAID subsystems. Its back-  
ward compatibility with older SCSI protocols requires minimum investment for upgrading  
equipment. Storage volumes are associated with SCSI ID/LUNs on the host channels. The  
subsystem firmware provides flexible configurations of storage volumes which include, logical  
drives in supported RAID 0, 1 (0+1), 3, and 5 levels, logical volumes that consist of one or  
more logical drives, and the logical partitions of the previously mentioned configurations.  
These volumes then appear as SCSI targets over the host links.

RAID Subsystem DVA-08K | Installation Manual  
Channels: The SCSI ID/LUN mapping method enables users to associate a storage volume  
with multiple IDs or LUNs on the host channels. The mapping method can easily cope with  
host-side configurations such as clustered servers or high availability path redundancy. On the  
drive side, all of the eight (8) SATA-II drives are connected each through a dedicated SATA  
channel. Each drive channel is routed to an enclosure drive tray that is equipped with a stan-  
dard SATA connector with of hot-swap capability. The methods used for assembling physical  
drives, fault management, and status monitoring are identical to that used with Bosch’s long  
line of RAID storage enclosures.  
Active Components  
The subsystem comes with:  
A single RAID controller module  
Two redundant, hot-swappable cooling modules  
Dual redundant, hot-swappable, load-sharing power supplies  
A module slot for a Li-ION battery module.  
The front section of the enclosure houses eight (8) hot-swap drive bays for SATA-II or  
backward compatible with SATA-I hard disk drives.  
The subsystem is shown below:

BBU module: A BBU provides the protective implementation to cached data; and, unless  
deselected when purchasing the subsystems, is installed into the module slot located at  
the upper left corner of the controller module.  
Cooling fan module: The redundant cooling fan module is used to ventilate the subsystem  
and to reduce the temperature within the subsystem.  
NOTICE!  
Each of the power supplies on the sides of the enclosure houses one cooling fan module in a  
removeable canister. When a power supply is removed, the cooling module is also removed.  
Therefore, replace the power supply unit as soon as possible whenever it becomes necessary.  
Cooling fan modules can be independently removed from the chassis without affecting PSU  
operation.

Subsystem Components  
All the active components on the subsystem can be accessed through either the front or rear  
panel. The modular design of the active components facilitates their easy installation and  
removal. Hot-swap mechanisms are incorporated to eliminate power surges and signal  
glitches that might occur while removing or installing these modules.  
2.3.1  
LCD Panel  
Fig. 2.6 Opening the Front Handle  
The LCD panel shown in Figure 2.6 consists of a 16 characters x 2 rows LCD screen with push  
buttons, a mute button, and LED status indicators. The LCD front panel provides full access to  
all array configurations and monitoring. After powering up the subsystem, the initial screen  
will show the subsystem model name. A different name can be manually assigned to the sub-  
system or different drive arrays. This will enable easier identification in a topology consisting  
of numerous arrays.  
Fig. 2.7 Front Panel Retention Latch  
To access drive bays in the left- or right-hand side column, first flip the retention latches (see  
Figure 2.7) on the enclosure front handles, and then swing the handles to the left- and right-  
hand sides. To close the handles (see Figure 2.8), swing the handles toward the system; gen-  
tly press the handles until a click is heard. The latches will keep the handles in place.

2.3.2  
Drive Trays  
The subsystem comes with 8 drive trays (see Figure 2.9) designed to accommodate separately  
purchased standard 1-inch pitch, 3.5-inch disk drives. The drive bays are accessed from the  
enclosure front. Two LED’s on the front of the tray are used to indicate the drive status. A key-  
lock on each drive tray secures the hard drive in place, while an easily accessible release but-  
ton ensures fast and efficient drive hot-swapping.  
Fig. 2.9 Drive Tray Front View  
CAUTION!  
Be careful not to warp, twist, or contort the drive tray in any way (e.g., by dropping it or rest-  
ing heavy objects on it). The drive tray has been customized to fit into the drive bays in the  
subsystem. If the drive bay superstructure is deformed or altered, the drive trays may not fit  
into the drive bay.  
2.3.3  
The RAID Controller Module  
The RAID controller module contains a main circuit board, a preinstalled 256MB capacity or  
above DDR RAM DIMM module, and the necessary support interfaces. The controller module  
contains no user-serviceable components. Except when replacing a faulty unit or installing/  
upgrading the cache memory inside, the controller module should never be removed or  
opened.  
CAUTION!  
Although the RAID controller can be removed, the only time you should touch the controller  
itself is to replace the memory module or to install the memory module. The RAID controller is  
built of sensitive components and unnecessary tampering can damage the controller.  
Controller Module Interfaces  
The subsystems provide external interfaces to host computers and management station(s)  
through the RAID controller’s rear-side faceplate as shown in Figure 2.10.  
Fig. 2.10 Controller Module Faceplate  
Host Ports  
SCSI-320 Host Ports: Two SCSI-320 host channels connect the subsystem to the host  
computers equipped with SCSI-320 compatible adapters through the dual-stack VHDCI  
connectors. The dual-stack connectors facilitate cascade connections for configurations  
such as host clustering or cascading with another RAID subsystem.

Ethernet Port  
All controller modules on the subsystems come with a single 10/100BasedT RJ-45 Ether-  
net port. The Ethernet port is used for local or remote management through the network  
using the Bosch RAIDWatch GUI manager or Telnet protocol.  
COM Port  
All controller modules come with one RS-232C (audio jack) serial port. The serial port is  
used for local access to the system-embedded configuration utility over the included  
serial port cable.  
DIMM Module  
The controller module comes with a preinstalled 256MB capacity or above DDR RAM DIMM  
module and can support a larger capacity up to 2GB. The DIMM module is mounted in an eas-  
ily accessible location on the controller board. However, when the DIMM module is being  
changed, the controller module must be removed from the subsystem chassis.

Battery Backup Unit  
failure. It is installed on the upper left corner of the controller module in the rear of subsystem  
chassis. Please refer to Section 3 Hardware Installation for installation details.  
Fig. 2.11 BBU Module  
In accordance with international transportation regulations, the BBU module is only charged  
to between 35% and 45% of its total capacity when shipped. Therefore, when powering on the  
subsystem for the first time the BBU will begin to charge its batteries to their full capacity. It  
normally requires approximately twelve (12) hours for the battery to be fully charged. If the  
battery is not fully charged after twelve (12) hours (its LED is still flashing), there is a problem  
with the BBU module and you should contact your subsystem vendor immediately. While the  
battery is being charged, the LED on the BBU rear panel and the fifth LED on the controller  
module will flash.  
You can check the status of the battery’s charge via Bosch RAIDWatch Manager or the firm-  
ware utility screen.

2.3.5  
Power Supply Units  
The SATA-based RAID subsystems are equipped with two (2) redundant, hot-swappable, 2U,  
350W power supply unit (PSUs) modules. The PSU is permanently mounted into a 2U high  
(dual-level) bracket especially designed to house both the PSU and a cooling module mounted  
underneath. PSUs can be found on either side of the controller module.  
Each PSU comes with a single power socket for power cord plug-in and a single power switch  
for you to turn the PSU on and off. Each PSU also comes with two embedded cooling fans to  
provide sufficient airflow to keep the PSU cool. A single LED is used to indicate the PSU sta-  
tus. A handle at the back of the PSU has been especially designed to enable you to remove the  
PSU from the subsystem while the system is still online. This should only be done if the PSU  
has failed and needs to be replaced.  
NOTICE!  
Hot-swapping the PSU also removes the cooling module at the lower slot.  
A retention screw at the upper right corner of the PSU module is used to secure the PSU to  
the enclosure. If the PSU needs to be removed, the retention screw must be removed first.  
When installing a new PSU module, make sure that the retention screw has been firmly  
secured.  
i

2.3.6  
Cooling Fan Modules  
The SATA-based RAID subsystem is equipped with two 1U single-fan, redundant, hot-swappa-  
ble cooling modules shown in Figure 2.13. One 9.7cm fan is housed in each cooling module.  
These modules have been designed to generate a cooling flow from the front to the rear of the  
subsystem to extract the heat generated by the SATA hard drives. Two of the cooling fan mod-  
ules are installed directly beneath the PSUs.

RAID Subsystem DVA-08K | Installation Manual  
Fig. 2.13 Top View of a Cooling Fan Module  
Advanced Fault-Preventative Operation  
The cooling fan modules support dual-speed operation modes that help to protect the subsys-  
tem in the event of component failure or extreme working condition.  
Intelligent Dual Speed Operation  
The cooling fans operate with two rotation speeds. Under normal operating conditions, the  
cooling fans run at the low speed, which is sufficient for maintaining efficient airflow across  
components. Under the following conditions, cooling fans raise their rotation speed to  
increase the airflow:  
1. Component Failure: if another cooling fan module, a PSU, or a temperature sensor fails,  
the remaining cooling fan(s) automatically raises its rotation speed.  
2. Elevated Temperature: if the temperature breaches the upper threshold set for any of the  
interior temperature sensors, the cooling fans automatically raises its rotation speed.  
3. During the subsystem initialization stage, the cooling fans operate at the high speed and  
return to lower speed once the initialization process is completed and no erroneous con-  
dition is detected.  
NOTICE!  
There are two values set for the upper temperature thresholds. One is set for event notifica-  
tion and the other triggering higher fan rotation speed. The preset value for event notification  
can be changed using the firmware-embedded configuration utility, while the fan speed trig-  
ger is not a user’s option.

provide you with continual updates on the status of the system and individual components.  
The following monitoring features are included in the subsystem.  
2.4.1  
I2C Bus  
The following subsystem elements are interfaced to the RAID controller over a non-user-ser-  
viceable I2C bus:  
Cooling fan modules  
PSUs  
Temperature sensors  
2.4.2  
LED Indicators  
The following active components come with LEDs to indicate the status of the individual com-  
ponents:  
RAID controller  
LCD panel  
Cooling fan module  
PSU module  
BBU module  
Drive trays  
2.4.3  
2.4.4  
Firmware and Bosch RAIDWatch GUI  
Firmware: The firmware is pre-installed software that is used to configure the subsystem. The  
firmware can be accessed either through the LCD keypad panel or a terminal emulation pro-  
gram running on a management computer that is connected to the subsystem’s serial port.  
Bosch RAIDWatch: Bosch RAIDWatch is a premier Web-based graphical user interface (GUI)  
that can be installed on a remote computer and is used to access the array through LAN or the  
Internet. The manager communicates with the array via the connection of the existing host  
interface or Ethernet link to the RJ-45 LAN port.  
Audible Alarms  
The subsystems come with audible alarms that are triggered when certain active components  
fail or when certain (controller or subsystem) thresholds are exceeded. If you hear hastily  
repeated beep tones from the subsystems it is imperative that you immediately determine and  
rectify the problem.  
Event notification messages indicate the completion of or the condition when proceeding with  
array configuration tasks and are always accompanied by two or three successive and pro-  
longed beeps.  
CAUTION!  
Failing to respond when a critical alarm is heard can lead to permanent damage of the subsys-  
tem. When an audible alarm is heard, rectify the problem as soon as possible.

Hot-Swappable Components  
2.5.1  
Hot-Swap Capabilities  
The subsystem comes with a number of hot-swappable components. A hot-swap component  
is one that can be exchanged while the subsystem is still online without affecting the opera-  
tional integrity of the subsystem. These components should only be removed from the subsys-  
tem when they are being replaced. At no other time should these components be removed  
from the subsystem.  
2.5.2  
2.5.3  
Components  
The following components are all hot-swappable:  
Power supply units (PSUs)  
Cooling fan modules  
Hard drives  
BBU module  
Normalized Airflow  
Proper subsystem cooling is referred to as “normalized” airflow. Normalized airflow ensures  
the sufficient cooling of the subsystem and is only attained when all components are properly  
installed. Therefore, a failed component should only be hot-swapped when a replacement is  
available. If a failed component is removed but not replaced, permanent damage to the sub-  
system can result.

Safety Precautions  
3.2.1  
Precautions and Instructions  
Be sure the correct power range (100-120 or 220-240VAC) is supplied by your rack cabi-  
net, UPS device, or power outlet.  
Thermal notice: All drive trays (even if they do not contain a hard drive) must be installed  
into the enclosure. Leaving a drive bay or module slot open will severely affect the airflow  
efficiency within the enclosure, and will consequently lead to system overheating. Keep a  
faulty module in place until you have a replacement unit and you are ready to replace it.  
An enclosure without disk drives can weigh over 25 kilograms. Two (2) people are  
required to install or relocate the subsystem. To avoid damage to disk drives, drives  
should be removed from the enclosure before moving the subsystem.  
Handle the system modules by the retention screws, extraction levers, or the modules  
metal frames/faceplates only. Avoid touching the PCB boards, connector pins, and sol-  
dered surfaces.  
Airflow considerations: The subsystem requires an airflow clearance especially on the  
front and rear. For proper ventilation, a minimum of 2.5cm is required between the front  
of the enclosure and rack cover; a minimum of 5cm is required between the enclosure  
and end of the rack.  
None of the covers or replaceable modules should be removed in order to maintain com-  
pliance with safety, emission, or thermal requirements.  
Always secure every enclosure module by its retaining screws or make sure it is held in  
place by its latches.  
Always make sure the subsystem has a safe electrical earth connection via power cords  
or chassis ground by the rack cabinet.  
Be sure that the rack cabinet in which the subsystem chassis is to be installed provides  
sufficient ventilation channels and airflow circulation around the subsystem.  
Provide a soft, clean surface to place your enclosure on before working on it. Servicing  
the enclosure on a rough surface may damage the finish of the chassis.  
If it is necessary to transport the subsystem, repackage all disk drives separately. If using  
the original package material, all other modules can stay within the enclosure.  
3.2.2  
Static-Free Installation  
The subsystem contains static-sensitive electronic components that can be damaged by  
improper handling and electrostatic discharge (ESD). To prevent ESD damage to any of the  
components, follow these precautions before touching or handling them:  
Discharge the static electricity from your body by wearing an anti-static wristband or by  
touching a grounded metal surface.  
Avoid carpets, plastic, vinyl, and styrofoam in your work area.  
Handle all components by holding their edges or metal frame. Avoid touching PCB boards  
and connector pins.  
3.2.3  
BBU Warnings and Precautions  
The BBU module sustains cache memory in the event of a power failure or in the unlikely event  
if both PSUs have failed. Having the protection to cached data by a BBU is highly recom-  
mended. The BBU provides additional data security and helps minimize the chance of data  
loss during power outage.  
Replace the BBU once it shows symptoms failing to hold the charge. Although the life  
expectancy of a BBU is determined by the times it has been charged or discharged, a BBU  
can approximately last for one year. If the battery recharge time is obviously longer than  
the suggested 12 hours, or if the fault LED is lit, replace the battery.

21  
Install or replace the BBU module only with a BBU module supplied by your subsystem  
vendor. Use of battery cells provided by another source will void our warranty.  
Always dispose of discharged or used batteries in an ecologically responsible manner.  
Dispose used BBUs at authorized battery disposal sites only.  
Do not use nor leave the BBU near a heat source or direct sunlight. Heat can melt the  
insulation and damage other safety features of battery cells, possibly leading it to acid  
leak and result in flames or explosion.  
Do not immerse the BBU in water nor allow it to get wet. Its protective features can be  
damaged. Abnormal chemical reactions may occur, possibly causing functional defects,  
acid leak, and other hazardous results.  
Do not disassemble or modify the BBU. If disassembled, the BBU could leak acid, over-  
heat, emit smoke, burst and/or ignite.  
Do not pierce the BBU with a sharp object, strike it with a hammer, step on it, or throw it.  
These actions could damage or deform it, internal short-circuiting can occur, possibly  
causing functional defects, acid leaks, and other hazardous results.  
If the BBU leaks, gives off a bad odor, generates heat, becomes discolored or deformed,  
or in any way appears abnormal during use, recharging or storage, immediately remove it  
from the subsystem and stop using it. If this is discovered when you first use the BBU,  
return it to Bosch or your system vendor.

Rackmounting  
The subsystem is easily installed into a standard 19-inch rack cabinet using the mounting  
holes on the sides of chassis.  
The enclosure chassis can be installed using self-purchased mounting rails.  
3.5.1  
Considerations for Installation Site and Chassis  
Make sure you have an appropriate site location and cables prepared with adequate  
lengths to connect to main power and other devices.  
At least two people will be required to install the chassis. Disk drives should only be  
installed after the chassis is properly mounted. The chassis can weigh about 24Kgs with-  
out disk drives.  
The following tools are necessary for mounting the chassis:  
#4 Phillips-head screwdriver  
Wrenches may be necessary, depending on the rack type  
Use the included M5 or M6 screws for securing the chassis through its front mounting  
ears.  
More details about the use of optional slide rails are given in the Installation Guide that  
came with the slide rail package.  
3.5.2  
Mounting Holes Positions  
Integrators may design their own brackets or slide rails using the twenty-two (22) mount-  
ing holes on the sides of chassis.  
There are six (6) mounting holes with six (6) M4 nuts near the end of the chassis on each  
side. Shown below are the locations of these mounting holes. (See the arrow marks in  
Figure 3.2). See the next diagram for another group of mounting holes on a horizontal  
line.  
Fig. 3.1 Enclosure Side Mounting Holes (1)  
Figure 3.2 shows holes that are designed for slide rail options. There are five (5) mount-  
ing holes for #6-32 screws on the sides of the enclosure for use with slide rails purchased  
separately from Bosch or other vendors.  
For information on installing the chassis using the slide rails, please refer to the Installa-  
tion Manual that came with the kit.

Drive Tray Installation  
Once the hard drives have been installed in the drive trays, the drive trays can be installed into  
the subsystem.  
WARNING!  
All drive trays must be installed into the enclosure even if they do not contain a hard drive. If  
the trays are not installed into the enclosure, the ventilation required for cooling will be dis-  
turbed and the subsystem will overheat.  
1. Make sure that the hard drive is secured to the drive tray. Make sure the key-lock is in the  
unlocked position. The key-lock is unlocked if the groove on its face is in a horizontal ori-  
entation. If the groove is in a vertical position, as shown in Figure 3.3, then the key-lock is  
locked and the front flap on the drive tray cannot be opened.  
Fig. 3.3 Front View of an Individual Drive Tray  
2. Open the front flap on the drive tray. (See Figure 3.4). To open the flap, push the release  
button on the front bezel. The front flap will open in an upward direction.  
Fig. 3.4 Opening Drive Tray Front Flap  
3. Align the drive tray with the slot in which you wish to insert it. Make sure that it is resting  
on the rails inside the module slot. Once the drive tray is lined up with the slot, gently  
slide it in. This should be done smoothly and gently.  
4. Close the front flap on the drive tray. Make sure the front flap is closed properly. Closing  
the front flap ensures that the drive tray is firmly connected to the corresponding connec-  
tor on the backplane board. If the front flap is not closed properly, the connection  
between the HDD and the subsystem will not be secure. DO NOT slam the drive tray into  
place! The connector pins might be damaged. If the front flap is not closed properly, the  
connection between the hard drive and the subsystem will not be secure.  
5. Lock the flap into place by turning the key-lock until the groove on its face is pointing  
down (vertical orientation). (See Figure 3.5)

6. Once all drive trays are installed, the RAID subsystem will poll the drive channels and rec-  
ognize the drives and scan them in automatically.  
7. When powered up, you should check the LEDs on drive bezels to ensure all drives are  
receiving power and are functional. All drive LEDs should be solid green after the initial-  
ization stage.

Subsystem Monitoring  
This chapter provides information on how to monitor the subsystem.  
4.1  
Subsystem Monitoring Overview  
The subsystem is equipped with a variety of self-monitoring features that help to keep subsys-  
tem managers informed of the subsystem operational status. These monitoring features pro-  
vide vital feedback to help you maintain the operational integrity of the subsystem. Prompt  
response to warnings and subsystem component failure notifications will ensure safe opera-  
tion of the subsystem and help ensure the longevity of the subsystems.  
Self-monitoring features include:  
Firmware (FW): The RAID controllers in the subsystems come with pre-installed FW. The  
FW can be accessed using either the LCD keypad panel or a PC running terminal software  
through the RS-232C (audio jack) serial port. Device status information can be obtained  
from the FW.  
Bosch RAIDWatch: Bosch RAIDWatch is a fully integrated Java based Graphical User  
Interface (GUI) that came with the subsystem and can be used to monitor and maintain  
the subsystem using web browsers. Connection to a Bosch RAIDWatch station is made  
using the existing Ethernet ports.  
The Bosch RAIDWatch Panel View can be customized to show a direct, graphical repre-  
sentation of the subsystem in the content panel of the Bosch RAIDWatch screen. Panel  
View allows you to quickly determine the operational status of critical components.  
Configuration Client: The powerful Configuration Client sub-module can be used to keep  
you informed of system events via a variety of communication methods like email, LAN  
broadcast, fax, pager, MSN messenger, ICQ, and SMS. The sub-module runs as an inde-  
pendent program from Bosch RAIDWatch main program. The Configuration Client helps  
prevent blind time and keeps you constantly informed as to the status of the storage  
management subsystem.  
LEDs: Device-status-indicating LEDs are placed on all of the subsystems’ active compo-  
nents. These LEDs inform you of the integrity of a given component or a given link. You  
should become familiar with the different LEDs on the subsystem and be aware of their  
functions. (See Figure 4.2)  
Audible Alarm: An audible alarm is present on the subsystem controller board and will be  
triggered if any of a number of threatening events occurred. These events usually jeopar-  
dize the functional and operational integrity of the controller board and must be heeded  
at all times. Events such as a breaching of the temperature threshold will trigger the  
alarm and if an onsite subsystem manager is present, the manager should, using either  
the LCD panel or the PC hyper-terminal, determine the cause of the alarm and take the  
appropriate corrective measures. (See Figure 4.3)  
2
2
Inter-Integrated Circuit (I C): The I C bus monitors the operational integrity of the cool-  
ing modules, sensors for RAID controller board/backplane temperature and voltage read-  
ings.  
Subsystem monitoring is a necessary part of subsystem management. If failure events or other  
disruptive events are detected and reported, the subsystem managers must take the appropri-  
ate action to rectify the problem. Failure to act in a properly specified manner to a system  
event (like overheating) can cause severe and permanent damage to the subsystem.

The subsystem comes with a RS-232C audio jack serial port that can be used to assign a per-  
manent IP to the subsystems. After a permanent IP address has been assigned, an Ethernet  
cable can be used to connect the RJ-45 Ethernet port to a network hub or router. This enables  
you to manage your subsystem locally or remotely over TCP/IP. See Figure 4.3 for the loca-  
tions of the two LED indicators on Ethernet port. Refer to Table 4.4 for the LED definitions.

Table 4.7 Cooling Fan Module LED Definitions  
The subsystem has a novel approach to stabilizing the temperature within the subsystem:  
When the sensors within the enclosure detect critical working conditions, such as high ambi-  
ent temperature or the failure of any cooling or PSU module, the system will turn the cooling  
fans to high speed to extract more heat. Once the ambient temperature cools down to normal  
or the faulty module has been replaced, the cooling fans return to normal speed.

Audible Alarm  
Different subsystem environmental and operational parameters (i.e., temperature, etc.) have  
been assigned a range of values between which they can fluctuate. If either the upper or lower  
thresholds are exceeded, an audible alarm will automatically be triggered. The alarm will also  
be triggered when an active component of the subsystem fails. If the subsystem manager is  
onsite and hears the alarm, the manager will have to read the error message on the LCD  
screen or the PC terminal in order to determine what has triggered the alarm. After determin-  
ing what has occurred, the subsystem manager must take appropriate actions to rectify the  
problem.  
CAUTION!  
When an alarm is triggered, it is necessary for you to determine the problem. If the audible  
alarm is ignored and the problem is not rectified, unexpected damages may occur.  
4.3.1  
Default Threshold Values  
NOTICE!  
The threshold values listed below are used to trigger a warning event and sound the alarm. A

Subsystem Connection and Operation  
This chapter introduces sample topologies, configuration options and server connections for  
the RAID subsystems and discusses both the power on and power off procedures.  
5.1  
Basic Configuration Rules  
When you are configuring your storage subsystem, follow these basic rules:  
Using a mix of LVD and legacy devices, such as devices using single-ended signaling, is  
not recommended. Use LVD terminators if all your devices support LVD signaling. Please  
refer to the documentation provided with your SCSI devices to avoid possible conflicts.  
When selecting the number of hard drives to be included in a logical configuration that  
should be presented through the host channels, the transfer rates and the mechanical  
performance of the hard disks should be considered. The combined bandwidth of the  
two SCSI host channels is 640MB/s, sufficient for most applications. If properly config-  
ured, combining subsystems or drive enclosures may increase the number of drives and  
help to bring out the most of IOPs performance.  
If you consider cascading multiple enclosures, considerations may include the character-  
istics of your I/O load. Select the correct combination of optimization mode and a spe-  
cific RAID level.  
An optimal configuration is always a compromise among different factors. For instance, a  
large array with many drive members may be more efficient, but the chance of failing a  
member is also increased.  
The drives in the same logical array should have the same capacity; it is preferred that all  
the drives in the enclosure have the same capacity.  
A spare drive should have a minimum capacity equivalent to the largest drive that is to be  
replaced. If the capacity of the spare is less than the capacity of the drive to be replaced,  
then the controller will not proceed with the failed drive rebuild.

of the subsystem’s SCSI ports is flexible. For example, you may use the two VHDCI ports of a  
dual-stacked connector to connect a host channel to two separate, clustered servers. If high  
availability or path redundancy software is applied, a total of 4 VHDCI ports are available for  
cross-linking to host adapters. As long as access contention is not of the concern, host con-  
nection can be very flexible. In the following sections, configuration diagrams will be provided  
to illustrate the possible uses of the subsystem in different application environments.  
Note that these configurations are only recommendations and do not intend to impose limita-  
tions such as the use of high availability software or cascading multiple enclosures. The same  
configuration principles applies to the subsystem.  
The RAID subsystems support 2 SCSI host channels and 2 dual-stack connectors featuring  
support for SCSI-320 protocol (also known as Ultra-320), the latest iteration of the SCSI drive  
interface standard. The SCSI-320 enables maximum data transfer rates up to 320MB/second  
per channel from host computers to the subsystems or expansion systems. This is twice the  
bandwidth as the Ultra160 standard, allowing you optimal performance and flexibility with  
configuring storage applications.  
5.2.1  
5.2.2  
SCSI Cables  
One SCSI cable is required with each subsystem for host connection. If you wish to connect  
the second host channel, a second cable is required. Use only high quality SCSI-320 cables  
from a reputable manufacturer. To ensure optimum performance, it is necessary to use  
proper, high quality SCSI-320 compatible cables. Failure to do so will result in downgraded  
performance.  
SCSI Port on the Controller Rear Panel  
The SATA-based subsystem is equipped with two dual-stacked connectors on the back of  
the enclosure. Each dual-stacked connector comes with two 68-pin VHDCI ports that is  
specified as a “Channel # In” or “Channel # Out” port.  
The SCSI ports are specified as “In” or “Out” for ease of identification. As long as each  
device on a SCSI bus is assigned with a unique ID and the SCSI bus properly terminated,  
there are no limitations with connecting a specific SCSI port to the host- or drive-side  
devices.  
Fig. 5.1 Dual-stacked Connectors on the Controller Faceplate  
The subsystem requires an external VHDCI-to-VHDCI SCSI round cable to connect the  
subsystem to a host adapter.  
One (1) audio-jack-to-DB9 cable is provided to facilitate the connection of the COM1 port  
for local terminal emulation access to the array.  
Two (2) power cords are provided for the power connections to the power sources.  
The RJ-45 Ethernet cable for network management connection is a user-supplied item.  
Use straight-through Ethernet cables with RJ-45 plugs.

5.2.3  
SCSI Termination  
Correct SCSI termination procedures require that the last device on the SCSI bus be termi-  
nated. If the last device is not terminated or if devices other than the last are terminated,  
erratic SCSI bus behavior may occur.  
An auto-detection, on-board terminator is built into the DVA-08K. You do not need to install an  
external terminator when a subsystem acts as the last device in the daisy chain configuration.  
The on-board terminator default is enabled. If the subsystem is not the last device in the daisy  
chain configuration, the terminator will be automatically disabled. Although it is not recom-  
mended, if you prefer to disable the firmware setting for the on-board terminator using the  
LCD keypad panel on the subsystem, RS232C terminal session, or Bosch RAIDWatch manage-  
ment software, the auto-detection function is also disabled.  
Typically, the host computer or host adapter (SCSI card inside the PC) is the first device and  
some are already terminated. When installing the DVA-08K on a SCSI bus with other devices,  
be sure to observe the above rules regarding all devices on the SCSI bus. Consult your host  
computer and/or host adapter manual for additional information on correct termination pro-  
cedures.  
NOTICE!  
It is recommended not to change the firmware default setting for the SCSI terminator so the  
auto-detection function can operate.

Host Connection Topology  
Fig. 5.2 Cascaded Subsystems Connected to Two Host Computers  
In the example shown in Figure 5.2, the SCSI ports are connected to different host computers.  
This provides both path and host computer redundancy. If one of the host channels becomes  
disconnected, or if the cable connecting one of the host ports to the host computer is dam-  
aged, the second path can transmit data from the subsystem to one of the host computers.  
Similarly, in the clustered hosts configuration, the same array can be accessed through differ-  
ent data paths and downtime will be minimized.  
To obtain more disk capacity, the “Out” ports are used to cascade another subsystem.  
The host-side connection can be made as the following:  
1. Directly to servers or workstations equipped with SCSI HBAs.  
2. Connect two subsystems on the same host buses for a larger combined capacity.  
3. Cross-link the host ports on subsystem(s) to clustered servers.  
High availability configurations, such as clustering or redundant paths settings, can be applied  
with adequate software control. The same logical array can be associated with two or more  
different host IDs to facilitate access down through different HBAs.

Subsystem Maintenance  
Constant monitoring and maintenance of your SATA-based subsystems will minimize the  
chance of system downtime and preserve the working integrity of the system for a longer  
period of time. If any of the subsystem plug-in modules fails, they must be replaced as soon as  
possible.  
6.1  
Overview  
CAUTION!  
Do not remove a failed component from the subsystem until you have a replacement on hand.  
If you remove a failed component without replacing it, the internal airflow will be disrupted  
and the system will overheat causing damage to the subsystem.

5. Cooling fan modules – Section 6.6 Replacing a Failed Cooling Fan Module  
6. Hard drives – Section 6.7.2 Replacing a Failed Hard Drive  
6.1.1  
General Notes on Component Replacement  
With the exception of the RAID controller module, all the components on the subsystems,  
including the PSU modules, cooling fan modules, BBU, and drive trays are hot-swappable  
and can be changed while the subsystem is still in operation.  
Qualified technicians who are familiar with the subsystem should be the only ones who  
make component replacements. If you are not familiar with the subsystems and not famil-  
iar with RAID subsystem maintenance in general, it is strongly advised that you refer sub-  
system maintenance to a suitably qualified maintenance technician.  
Normalized airflow is directly dependent upon the presence of all subsystem compo-  
nents. Even if a subsystem component fails, it should not be removed from the subsys-  
tem until a replacement is readily at hand and can be quickly installed. Removing a  
subsystem component without a replacement can lead to permanent subsystem damage.  
When replacing any hot-swappable component, caution should be taken to ensure that  
the components are handled in an appropriate manner. Rough or improper handling of  
components can lead to irreparable damage.  
When removing a controller module from the subsystem, ensure that the power has been  
turned off and that all precautionary measures, without exception, are adhered to. The  
controller board contains very sensitive components and can be easily damaged.  
CAUTION!  
When inserting a removable module, DO NOT USE EXCESSIVE FORCE! Forcing or slamming a  
module can damage the pins on the module connectors either on the module itself or on the  
backplane. Gently push the module until it reaches the end of module slot. Feel the contact  
resistance and use slightly more force to ensure the module connectors are correctly mated. If  
the module comes with extraction levers or retention screws, use them to secure the module.

Replacing Controller Module Components  
6.2.1  
Overview  
The controller module should never be removed unless the following replaceable components  
need to be accessed:  
Cache memory DIMM module: If a larger capacity DIMM module is required.  
Controller module itself: If the controller module in a single-controller model fails, it is  
necessary to power down the subsystem and replace the controller.  
If a DIMM module or RAID controller fails, contact your vendor immediately for a replacement.  
To replace any of these components, the controller module must first be removed from the  
subsystem.  
6.2.2  
Notes on Controller Module Maintenance  
The controller module contains a DIMM module. It is not recommended to re-use the  
DIMM module extracted from a failed controller unless you have a similar RAID subsystem  
that can be used to test the module. You can contact your vendor for sending the failed  
controller in for repair.  
When replacing the controller module, it must be remembered that the controller board  
is one of the most sensitive components in the subsystem. All previously stipulated safety  
precautions must be strictly adhered to. Failure to adhere to these precautions can result  
in permanent damage to the controller board, resulting in lengthy delays.  
Prior to replacing the controller module, it is imperative for your own safety to be sure no  
power is being supplied to the system.  
6.2.3  
Removing the Controller Module  
To remove the controller module:  
1. Stop host I/Os or host applications to avoid losing data or causing data inconsistency.  
2. Turn the subsystem power off: If possible power off the subsystem in the way described  
in Chapter 4. If it is not possible to do this turn off both PSU modules and disconnect the  
power cords.  
3. Disconnect all cables: There may be a number of different cables attached to the control-  
ler module. These cables could include SCSI cables for host connections, an RS-232C  
(audio jack) cable for serial port connection, and an Ethernet cable for network connec-  
tion. Prior to removing the controller module, all these cables should be removed.  
4. Loosen the retention hand screws: Hard screws are located on both sides of the RAID  
controller’s faceplate. Press these screws and use a Phillips screwdriver to loosen them  
so that the controller can be removed from chassis. (See Figure 6.1)  
Fig. 6.1 Loosen Controller Module Retention Screws  
5. Pull the controller module out: Once the retention screws have been removed; gently pull  
the controller module out of the subsystem chassis.

Replacing the Controller Module  
1. Remove the failed controller module.  
2. Install a DIMM module on the new controller module.  
3. Insert the replacement controller. Align the controller module with the module bay at the  
rear of the subsystem. Gently slide the controller module in.  
4. Fasten the hand screws. Once the controller module has been completely inserted into  
the subsystem chassis, secure the controller module to the chassis by tightening the  
hand screws at the sides of the controller rear panel.  
5. Connect the controller module cables: Reconnect all of the cables that were previously  
disconnected from the controller module. These may include SCSI cables for host and  
expansion connections, an RS-232C (audio jack) cable for serial port connection, and an  
Ethernet cable for network connection.  
6. Power on: Once the new controller module has been properly installed and the cables  
have been correctly connected, turn the subsystem power on.

Replacing or Upgrading Memory Modules  
6.3.1  
Memory Module Installation Overview  
The subsystems come with a pre-installed 256MB (or above) DDR RAM DIMM module on  
the controller. The controller supports one memory module for the capacity up to 1GB. If  
a DDR RAM DIMM modules with a different size is preferred or the original memory mod-  
ule has failed in some way, the pre-installed module must be removed and replaced by a  
new one. Replacement and installation instructions are described fully below.  
The DIMM module is located on the controller board. The controller board is a sensitive  
component and must be treated with care to avoid being damaged.  
CAUTION!  
The controller board in the module contains sensitive components. Please ensure that all anti-  
static precautions stipulated above are strictly adhered to. Only qualified technicians can  
replace a DIMM module.  
6.3.2  
Selecting a Memory Module  
If the memory module mounted on the controller is going to be replaced, the following factors  
should be considered when purchasing replacement modules.  
Pre-installed DIMM module: The subsystem comes with a 256MB DDR RAM module pre-  
installed on the controller board. If you wish to change the size of the DIMM, then a new,  
separately purchased DIMM can be installed.  
DDR RAM DIMM modules supported. The subsystems support DDR RAM DIMM modules  
with the capacities ranging from 256MB to 1GB.  
Installation consideration: When installing the DIMM module, it is necessary to handle the  
controller module. The controller board is more susceptible to damage than the other  
components and must therefore be handled with extreme care. All anti-static precautions  
must be strictly adhered to.  
Secure installation: When replacing the DIMM module, make sure that the new DIMM  
module is firmly in place prior to installing the controller module. If the DIMM module is  
not firmly in place, the subsystem will not run and the controller will need to be removed  
and the DIMM module correctly installed.  
Purchasing consideration: When purchasing a DDR RAM DIMM to install on the controller  
board, contact your vendor for an updated list of certified modules.  
6.3.3  
DIMM Module Installation  
CAUTION!  
The pre-installed modules must be removed prior to installing new memory modules. Do this  
with care. Sensitive components can be damaged during the process.  
If a DIMM module fails or a DIMM module with a higher memory capacity is required, the  
DIMM module must be replaced.  
1. Remove the controller module.  
2. Remove the previously installed DIMM module from the DIMM socket. To do this, push  
the white module clips on the sides of the DIMM module down together. By doing this,  
the previously installed modules will be ejected from the DIMM socket. (See Figure 6.2)

3. Gently retrieve the DIMM module out of the DIMM socket. (See Figure 6.2)  
4. Insert the DIMM module into the DIMM socket. Align the DIMM module with the DIMM  
socket. Once aligned, gently push the DIMM module into the socket. The white clips on  
the sides of the socket will close automatically and secure the DIMM module into the  
socket.  
Fig. 6.3 Insert the DIMM Module  
5. Reinstall the controller module. After the DIMM module has been properly installed, the  
controller module must be reinstalled. To do this, align the controller module with the  
controller module bay. Then gently push the controller module in the controller bay.  
Carefully push the controller until you feel the contact when the board edge connectors  
are mated to the backplane. Do not use force. If unusual contact resistance is felt, try it  
again. Next secure the controller module into the subsystem by fastening the hand  
screws on the sides.  
NOTICE!  
When replacing a DIMM, the whole subsystem needs to be powered down. Therefore, when  
replacing a DIMM, you should carefully select the time when the replacement will be made in  
order to minimize the overall disruption to service.

Replacing a Faulty BBU  
NOTICE!  
The BBU is hot-swappable and can be replaced while the subsystem is running. However, a  
new module will only be recognized after a subsystem reset. Carefully select the time when  
the reset will be made in order to minimize the overall disruption to service.  
i
To replace a faulty BBU, please follow these steps:  
1. Remove the faulty BBU module from the chassis. The BBU module is secured to the chas-  
sis with two (2) spring screws. These screws must be loosened. To loosen, turn the  
screws counterclockwise.  
2. Install the new BBU module. After the faulty BBU module has been removed, the new  
BBU module can be installed. To do this, align the BBU module with the empty slot, and  
then gently push the BBU module into the slot.  
3. Secure the BBU module to the enclosure. Tighten the two (2) spring screws on the back  
of the BBU module.  
4. Once the new BBU module is correctly installed into the subsystem, the LED should start  
flashing, indicates the BBU is being charged. When the BBU is fully charged, the LED will  
go off.  
NOTICE!  
The life expectancy of a BBU is approximately 500 cycles. Follow the procedures above to  
i
replace an old BBU with a new BBU in order to maintain fault-tolerant subsystem functional-  
ities.  
6.5  
Replacing a Failed PSU Module  
6.5.1  
Notes on PSU Module Maintenance  
Two redundant PSU modules: The subsystem comes with two 350W, fully redundant, hot-  
swappable PSU modules. These modules are accessed from the rear of the subsystem.  
Immediate replacement: When a PSU fails, it should ideally be replaced immediately. Do  
not remove the PSU module unless a replacement is readily available. Removing a PSU  
without a replacement will cause severe disruptions to the internal airflow and the sub-  
system will overheat, possibly causing irreparable damage to some of the subsystem  
components.  
PSU bracket: Each PSU module is permanently mounted in a two-level steel bracket, cre-  
ating a single unit. The PSU is located in the upper level and a removable cooling fan  
module is mounted in the lower level.  
CAUTION!  
Although the subsystems can operate using single PSU module, it is not advisable to run the  
RAID subsystems with a single PSU module for an extended period of time.  
6.5.2  
Replacing the PSU Module  
To replace a PSU, please follow these steps:  
1. Turn off the PSU and remove the power cord: Turn of the power switches located on the  
right side of each power supply module.  
2. Once the power switches have been turned off, remove the power cables that connect  
the subsystem to the main power. The power connector is found on the left side of each  
power supply module.  
3. Remove the retention screw: After the power cable has been removed from the power  
connector, remove the retention screw at the upper right side of the PSU rear-end panel.

4. Pull the extraction handle downward: Push the extraction lever at the back of the PSU  
module downwards. This will dislodge the PSU module from the subsystem. Once dis-  
lodged, gently pull the PSU module out of the subsystem.  
CAUTION!  
When a PSU is pulled out of the chassis, the fan module beneath the PSU is removed  
from the chassis at the same time.  
Do not remove the PSU module unless a replacement is readily available. Removing a PSU  
without a replacement will cause severe disruptions to the internal airflow and the sub-  
system will overheat, possibly causing irreparable damage to some of the subsystem  
components.  
It is recommended that the replacement procedure is completed in less than five (5) min-  
utes to prevent the subsystem from overheating.  
5. Remove the cooling module: To do this, push the clips on either side of the module rear  
panel together. Then gently pull the cooling module out of the lower level of the PSU  
bracket. (See Figure 6.5)  
Fig. 6.5 Remove the Cooling Module  
6. Reinstall the cooling module into the new PSU module: To do this, align the cooling mod-  
ule with the lower level of the PSU bracket and gently slide the cooling module in.

7. Insert the new PSU module into the subsystem: Once the previously removed cooling  
module has been installed, insert the new PSU module into the subsystem. Make sure the  
extraction lever is in its downright position so that the saddle notches on the lower edges  
of the handle can lock on to the edge metal brackets along the chassis inner walls. Push  
the PSU into the slot and pull the handle upwards to secure the module.  
8. Reinsert the retention screw: If the PSU module is properly installed, the back end of the  
module should be aligned with the enclosure’s rear panel. To firmly secure the PSUs into  
place, reinsert the retention screw.  
9. Reconnect the power cord and turn the power on: Plug the power cord into the socket on  
the PSU module and turn the PSU module power switch on.

Replacing a Failed Cooling Fan Module  
6.6.1  
Notes on Cooling Fan Module Maintenance  
Redundant cooling fan modules: The subsystems are equipped with two redundant, hot-  
swappable, single-blower cooling fan modules located in the lower PSU module slot.  
These cooling fan modules control the internal operational temperature of the subsystem  
and therefore their working integrity should be maintained at all times.  
Detecting a failed cooling fan module: If a cooling fan module fails, you can be notified of  
the failure by the LED located at the back of the module, an audible alarm, the terminal  
event prompts, the Bosch RAIDWatch Panel View, or through the various methods by the  
Configuration Client utility.  
Replacing a cooling fan module: Once you are notified that a cooling fan module has  
failed, it should be replaced as soon as possible. A failed cooling fan module should only  
be removed from the subsystem when you have an immediately available replacement  
module that can be installed as soon as the failed cooling fan module has been removed.  
CAUTION!  
The latches at the back of the cooling fan module secure the cooling fan module into the  
enclosure. If these latches are broken, the warranty on the cooling fan module will be  
void.  
Although the cooling fan modules are fully redundant, it is not advisable to run the sub-  
systems with any of the cooling fan modules missing. Whenever a cooling fan module  
fails, the system is at risk of sustaining irreparable damage.  
Keep a failed module in its enclosure bay until a replacement unit is in hand.  
6.6.2  
Replacing a Cooling Fan Module  
The cooling fan modules are secured to the chassis with two black latches located on the rear  
of the module. To replace the cooling fan module, please follow these steps:  
1. To remove the cooling fan module: Squeeze both side latches towards the center of the  
cooling fan module and gently withdraw the cooling fan module from the subsystem by  
gently pulling on the silver handle at the bottom. (See Figure 6.6).  
Fig. 6.6 Removing the Cooling Fan Module  
CAUTION!  
Forcing or slamming a module into place can damage the connector pins on the module itself  
or that on the subsystem backplane.  
2. Install the new cooling fan module: Line the new module up with the slot into which it  
will be inserted and then gently push it into the chassis. The latches will hold the module  
in place.

Drive Tray Maintenance  
6.7.1  
Notes on Hard Drive Maintenance  
Hot-swappable drive trays: The drive trays are all hot-swappable. If a hard drive fails, it  
can be replaced while the subsystem is still running.  
Forearm handles: If the hard drive is behind either the left or right forearm handle, make  
sure that the locking mechanism on the side of the handle is first released prior to open-  
ing the handle itself. (See Figure 6.7) The locking mechanism must also be released in  
order to close the handle. Therefore, after the new drive has been installed, it will be nec-  
essary to release the locking mechanism on the handle prior to closing it.  
Fig. 6.7 Forearm Handle Locking Mechanism  
Front flap mechanism: Do not leave a drive tray’s front flap open. The front flap and its  
key-lock secure a drive tray to chassis slot. A disk drive operating with the half-open front  
bezel may result in signal glitches and Data Compare Errors might ensue.  
Remove drives slowly: Although the drive trays are designed to be hot-swappable, when  
removing a drive tray from the subsystem, withdraw it from the chassis slowly. Removing  
the drive tray too quickly may cause a drive I/O timeout.  
Replacement on hand: If a hard drive has failed, make sure you have a replacement hard  
drive readily available before removing the failed drive from the subsystem. Do not leave  
the drive tray slot open for an extended period of time. If the drive tray slot is left unoccu-  
pied for an extended period of time, the airflow will be disrupted and subsystem compo-  
nents will overheat and may be permanently damaged.  
6.7.2  
Replacing a Failed Hard Drive  
To replace a hard drive, please follow these steps:  
CAUTION!  
Handle hard drives with extreme care. Hard drives are very delicate. Dropping a drive  
onto a hard surface (even from a short distance) and hitting or touching the circuits on  
the drives with your tools may all cause damage to drives.  
Observe all ESD prevention methods when handling hard drives.  
Only use screws supplied with the drive canisters. Longer screws may damage the drive.  
CAUTION!  
The hard drives and drive trays should only be installed into the subsystem once the subsys-  
tem has been mounted into a rack cabinet. If the hard drives are installed first, the subsystem  
will be too heavy to place into position and the possible impact during installation may dam-  
age your drives.

RAID Subsystem DVA-08K | Installation Manual  
Hard drives for the subsystem can be purchased separately. When purchasing the hard drives,  
the following factors should be considered:  
Capacity (MB/GB): Use drives with the same capacity. RAID arrays use a “least-common-  
denominator” approach. The maximum capacity of each drive used in the array is the  
maximum capacity of the smallest drive. Use drives of the same capacity.  
Profile: The drive trays and bays of the system are designed for 3.5-inch wide x 1-inch  
high hard drives. It is highly recommended that you do not try to use drives of any other  
size.  
Drive type: The subsystem can use either SATA-II or SATA-I hard drives.  
1. Identify the drive tray that contains the hard drive that needs to be replaced.  
CAUTION!  
Replacing the wrong drive in an array can fatally fail a RAID configuration. You should identify  
a failed drive from the Bosch RAIDWatch GUI screen, by checking the drive slot ID in the termi-  
nal screen, by checking the LEDs on the drive tray panel, and/or use the identify/flash drive  
function in firmware.  
2. Open the front flap: Once the drive tray has been identified, push the release button at  
the drive bezel. (See Figure 6.8) The front bezel will automatically be lifted and the drive  
tray should be easily dislodged from the chassis.  
Fig. 6.8 Front View of an Individual Drive Tray  
3. Remove the drive tray. To remove the drive tray from the enclosure, the key-lock must be  
unlocked. (See Figure 6.9) To do this, turn the key-lock on the front of the drive tray until  
the groove on its face is in a horizontal orientation.  
Fig. 6.9 Drive Tray Key-Lock Rotation  
4. Remove the drive tray along with the hard drive in it. Once the drive tray is dislodged  
from the chassis, gently and carefully withdraw the drive tray from the chassis.  
5. Remove the hard drive from the drive tray: Loosen the four retention screws (two on each  
side) to remove the hard drive from the drive tray.  
6. Install the new hard drive:

RAID Subsystem DVA-08K | Installation Manual

53  
7. Place the SATA hard drive into the drive tray (as shown in Figure 6.10) making sure that  
the hard drive is oriented in such a way that the drive’s SATA connector is facing the back  
of the drive tray.  
Fig. 6.10 Installing a SATA Hard Drive  
8. Adjust the drive’s location until the mounting holes in the drive canister are aligned with  
those on the hard drive. Secure the drive with four supplied 6/32 flathead screws. (See  
Figure 6.10)  
CAUTION!  
Only use screws supplied with the drive canisters. Longer screws may damage the drive.  
9. If the failed drive is a member of a RAID 1, 3, or 5 array, once it is replaced the subsystem  
should immediately start to rebuild the array. The drive activity LEDs should start to flash.
