Warnings and Certifications  
1.1  
Warning  
A shielded power cord is required in order to meet FCC emission limits and also to pre-  
vent interference with nearby radio and television reception.  
Use only shielded cables to connect I/O devices to this equipment. You are cautioned  
that changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for com-  
pliance could void your authority to operate the equipment.  
1.2  
Safety Precautions  
Precautions and Instructions  
Prior to powering on the subsystem, ensure that the correct power range is being used.  
The subsystem comes with 16 drive bays. Leaving any of these drive bays empty will  
greatly 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 rear.  
Handle subsystem modules using the retention screws, eject levers, and the metal  
frames/face plates. 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 all enclosure modules and covers are  
securely in place during operation.  
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 drives and replaceable mod-  
ules separately.  
Dual redundant controller models come with two controller modules that must be  
installed into the subsystem. Single controller modules come with a single controller  
module and a metal sheet is placed over the lower controller bay at the rear of the sub-  
system. Since single controller modules cannot be upgraded, this metal sheet should  
NEVER be removed.  
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 and debris in  
your work area.

Introduction  
This manual covers the DVA-16K series of RAID subsystems.  
The 3U profile, SCSI-320 to SATA-II, RAID subsystem is capable of a high-performance storage  
operation that has been specifically designed to meet the rapidly changing demands and  
needs of today’s storage networks. The RAID subsystem is rigorous and durable that can be  
easily configured and operated.  
Fully featured RAID redundancy provides advanced data protection and ensures that the com-  
plete range of RAID levels 0, 1(0+1), 3, 5, 10, 30, 50 and JBOD are supported. Complete sys-  
tem redundancy, through fully redundant data paths and hot-swappable devices ensures the  
overall protection of data. A long list of sophisticated firmware functions (multi-subsystem  
configuration, dedicated/ global hot-spares, battery protected disk cache, automatic back-  
ground rebuild, online drive expansion, intelligent drive handling, media scan, task-scheduler,  
remote and real-time subsystem monitoring, and more). Further the system guarantees the  
overall availability of valuable data.  
System integrators, using the RAID series, will be able to rapidly develop SCSI-320 solutions.  
This will help save both development time and the associated R&D costs, providing a compet-  
itive edge in the marketplace. For users, the modular nature of the series minimizes the total  
management cost of building a large storage network with a RAID subsystem.  
The enhanced 3U RAID storage subsystem chassis is a 3U metal chassis divided into front and  
rear sections, which are respectively accessed through front and rear panels. Pre-drilled  
mounting holes in the sides of the 3U RAID subsystem enclosure allow you to attach sepa-  
rately purchased slide rails so that you can install the enclosure into a rack or cabinet. 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  
happen while removing or installing these modules.  
2.1  
Product Overview  
This manual introduces the SCSI-320 to SATA-II RAID subsystem shown in Figure 2.1.  
Fig. 2.1 RAID Subsystem  
The RAID subsystem comes with two (2) 320MB/second SCSI (SCSI-320) host channels. This  
high-density subsystem supports up to sixteen (16) hot swappable, SATA-II hard drives in a 3U  
profile. The core of the subsystem is the RAID controller board with the ASIC266 and a pre-  
installed 256MB DDR RAM DIMM module with support for capacities up to 1GB. The new  
SCSI-320 host channel features packet protocol, and its reduction in command overhead pro-  
vide increased speed without bandwidth issues.  
The metal container in which the controller board is pre-installed is referred to as the “con-  
troller module.” The controller module is comprised of a PCB board, a rear faceplate, and a  
metal canister. The controller module is accessed through the rear of the RAID subsystem. A  
battery backup unit (BBU) is installed in the upper left side of the controller module when  
viewed from the rear of the subsystem. The BBU is also accessible and hot swappable through  
the rear panel of the RAID subsystem.

Two (2) dual-stacked VHDCI SCSI connectors connect the RAID controller to single or dual  
hosts and cascade external devices. Two (2) hot-swappable cooling modules protect the sub-  
system from overheating, and two (2) hot-swappable power supply unit (PSU) modules pro-  
vide constant power to the subsystem. The modular nature of the subsystem and the easy  
accessibility to all major components ensure the ease of the subsystem maintenance.  
NOTICE!  
On receiving and unpacking your subsystem, please check the package contents against the  
included Unpacking Checklist. If any modules are missing, please contact your subsystem ven-  
dor immediately.

2.2  
Management  
The RAID subsystem can be managed using either the firmware or the Bosch RAIDWatch web-  
based GUI. The firmware can be accessed by using either the LCD panel (see Figure 2.2)  
located at the front of the subsystem or a terminal emulation program installed on an external  
computer and connected to the COM1 on the controller module’s rear panel (see Figure 2.2)  
with the provided serial cable.  
Fig. 2.2 Controller Module Rear Panel  
If web-based management is desired, connecting the subsystem to the world wide web  
through the Ethernet port on the controller module’s rear panel, (See Figure 2.2) allows you to  
manage the RAID subsystem by Bosch RAIDWatch management software.

Best Practices  
2.3.1  
Avoiding Points of Failure  
To achieve maximum uptime when connecting a RAID subsystem into a storage environment,  
it is imperative that points-of-failure are avoided. The best way to avoid them is through the  
use of redundant components. As stated above, the cooling modules and PSU modules on the  
subsystem are fully redundant. Using dual-redundant data paths will further minimize the pos-  
sibility of system downtime.  
2.3.2  
2.3.3  
Dual-Redundant Data Paths  
When connecting the RAID subsystem to a server, dual-redundant data paths are recom-  
mended. If one (1) data path fails, a second data path can be used to transmit data. Dual-  
redundant data paths are supported by both the host and drive channels.  
ID Mapping  
Host ID mapping is flexible, in the sense that the same array can be associated with different  
host ID/LUNs, allowing the host clustering configurations. Drives on different channels can  
then be grouped into an array, and the array has its unique volume size, stripe size, and opti-  
mization mode. Arrays of different RAID levels can be striped together into logical volumes,  
making management of huge volume size an easier task.  
2.4  
Enclosure Chassis  
2.4.1  
Chassis Overview  
The RAID storage subsystem chassis is an enhanced 3U metal chassis divided into front and  
rear sections, which are respectively accessed through front (see Figure 2.4) and rear (see  
Figure 2.6) panels. Pre-drilled mounting holes in the sides of the 3U RAID subsystem enclosure  
allow you to attach separately purchased slide rails so that you can install the enclosure into a  
rack or cabinet.  
NOTICE!  
Components accessed through the front panel are referred to as “Front Panel Components”  
and components accessed through the rear panel are referred to as “Rear Panel Compo-  
nents.”

Subsystem Components  
The RAID subsystem houses many active components and most of them 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.  
2.5.1  
LCD Panel  
Fig. 2.7 LCD Panel  
The LCD panel shown in Figure 2.7 consists of a 16x2-character LCD screen with push buttons  
and LED status indicators. The LCD front panel provides full access to all RAID configuration  
settings and monitoring functions. After powering up the subsystem, the initial screen will  
show the subsystem model name. A different name may be assigned for the system or differ-  
ent arrays. This will enable easier identification in a topology with numerous arrays.  
2.5.2  
Drive Trays  
Fig. 2.8 Drive Tray Front View  
The RAID subsystem comes with sixteen (16) drive trays (See Figure 2.8) designed to accom-  
modate separately purchased standard 1-inch pitch, 3.5-inch disk drives. The drive bays are  
easily accessible from the front of the enclosure. Two (2) LEDs on the front of the tray indi-  
cate the drive status. A key-lock on each drive tray secures the hard drive in place, while an  
easily accessible button ensures fast and efficient drive hot-swapping.  
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  
RAID subsystem. If the drive bay superstructure is deformed or altered, the drive trays may  
not fit into the drive bay.

2.5.3  
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 controller module interfaces. The controller module  
contains no user-serviceable components. Except when installing/upgrading the cache mem-  
ory 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 install the memory modules. The RAID controller is built of sensitive components  
and unnecessary tampering can damage the controller.  
The heart of the RAID controller subsystem is the 320MB per second SCSI-to-SATA controller  
board. The controller comes with two (2) pre-set SCSI-320 host channels, CH0 and CH1. The  
subsystem connects to the host through a VHDCI SCSI input connector, while the output con-  
nector is ready to connect external devices. (See Figure 2.9)  
The docking connector at the rear of the controller board is used to connect the controller  
module to the backplane board. A DDR RAM DIMM socket is strategically placed in an easily  
accessible location on the controller board for easy insertion of the DDR RAM DIMM module.  
2.5.4  
Controller Module Interfaces  
All external interfaces that connect to external devices are located on the controller module  
rear panel shown in Figure 2.9. The interfaces are listed below.  
Fig. 2.9 Controller Module Interfaces  
Host Ports: Two (2) SCSI-320 host channels (CH0 and CH1 in Figure 2.9) connect the  
subsystem to the host through two (2) dual-stacked VHDCI SCSI connectors.  
Ethernet Ports: A single 10/100BaseT Ethernet port (located next to COM2) is used for  
remote management through the network.  
COM ports: The controller module comes with two (2) COM ports. One port is used to  
access the controller-embedded configuration utility through the network, and the other  
connects to a UPS connection. .  
Levers: Two (2) levers located in the sides of the controller board rear panel provide easy  
controller module installation and secure the controller module in place.

DIMM Module  
The controller module comes with a pre-installed 256MB capacity or above DDR RAM DIMM  
module and can support capacities up to 1GB. The DIMM module is placed in an easily  
accessed 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 (BBU)  
The Li-ION battery backup unit (BBU) (see Figure 2.11) sustains cache memory after a power  
failure. It is installed on the upper left side of the controller module in the rear subsystem  
chassis.  
Fig. 2.10 BBU Module  
In accordance with international transportation regulations, the BBU is only charged to  
between 35% and 45% of its total capacity when shipped. Therefore, after powering on the  
subsystem (see Section 5.4 Power On) the BBU must be charged to its 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, there is a problem with the BBU and you should con-  
tact your subsystem vendor immediately. While the battery is being charged, the LED on the  
BBU rear panel and the fifth LED on the rear panel of the controller module will flash slowly.  
(See Section 4.2.6 BBU Module LED for details on the LED indicators.) You can check the sta-  
tus of the battery’s charge via Bosch RAIDWatch or the firmware.  
2.5.7  
Power Supply Units  
The RAID subsystem is equipped with two (2) redundant, hot-swappable, 460W PSUs, which  
are located at the rear of the enclosure. (See Figure 2.6) The PSU is permanently mounted  
into a 2U (dual-level) bracket especially designed to house both the PSU and a cooling mod-  
ule, which is mounted in the lower part of the 2U bracket. Hot-swapping the PSU requires the  
removal of the cooling module.  
As shown in Figure 2.11, each PSU comes with a single power socket for power cord plug-in,  
and a power switch on the right to turn the subsystem on and off. Two (2) embedded cooling  
fans provide sufficient airflow to keep the PSU cool. A single LED indicates the PSU status.  
When any power supply failure occurs, such as over-voltage or fan failure, the LED shines red.  
A handle at the back of the PSU has been especially designed to enable you to remove the  
PSU from the subsystem while the subsystem is online. This should only be done if the PSU  
has failed and needs to be replaced.  
A retention screw at the top of the PSU module secures the PSU to the enclosure. To remove  
the PSU, the retention screw must be removed first. When installing a new PSU module, make  
sure that the retention screw has been firmly secured.

with continual updates on the status of the system and individual components. The following  
monitoring features are included in the subsystem.  
2.6.1  
I2C bus  
The following elements are interfaced to the RAID controller over a non-user-serviceable I2C  
bus:  
PSU modules  
Cooling modules  
Temperature sensors (for the temperature of the backplane board and controller board)  
2.6.2  
LED Indicators

2.6.3  
Firmware (FW) and Bosch RAIDWatch GUI  
Firmware: The firmware is pre-installed software used to configure the subsystem. The latest  
firmware functionalities include Task Scheduler, Intelligent Drive Handling, and Media Scan.  
Media Scan handles low quality drives in both the degraded mode and during the rebuild pro-  
cess. Maintenance tasks will then be performed on an entire array or specific hard drives. Var-  
ious options are user-configurable such as priority, start time, and execution internals.  
Bosch RAIDWatch: Bosch RAIDWatch is a premier web-based graphics user interface (GUI)  
that can be installed on a remote computer and accessed via the web. The manager communi-  
cates with the array via the connection of the existing host interface or Ethernet link to the  
array’s LAN port.  
2.6.4  
Audible Alarms  
The RAID subsystem comes with audible alarms that are triggered when certain active compo-  
nents fail or when certain (controller or subsystem) thresholds are exceeded. Whenever you  
hear an audible alarm from the RAID subsystem, it is imperative that you determine the cause  
and rectify the problem immediately.  
Event notification messages indicate the completion or status of array configuration tasks and  
are always accompanied by two (2) or three (3) successive and prolonged beeps.  
CAUTION!  
Failing to respond when an audible alarm is heard can lead to permanent damage of the RAID  
subsystem. When an audible alarm is heard, rectify the problem as soon as possible.

The following components are hot-swappable:  
Power supply units (PSUs)  
Cooling modules  
BBU  
Hard drives  
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.

3.1  
Introduction  
This chapter gives detailed instructions on how to install the subsystem. When installing the  
subsystem, it is necessary to install the controller module, hard drives, and drive trays. Instal-  
lation into a rack or cabinet should occur before the hard drives or drive trays are installed  
into the subsystem. Please confirm that you received all of the components listed on the  
Unpacking List that came with the subsystem before proceeding with the installation process.  
CAUTION!  
Please note that the installation instructions described in this manual should be carefully fol-  
lowed to prevent any difficulties and damages to your system.  
3.2  
Installation Prerequisites  
1. Static-free installation environment: The RAID subsystem must be installed in a static-free  
environment to minimize the possibility of electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage. (See  
Section 3.3.2 Static-free Installation)  
2. Component check: Before installing the RAID subsystem, you should first check to see  
that you have received all the required components. (See Section 3.5 Unpacking the Sub-  
system) If any items appear damaged, contact your vendor for a replacement.  
3. Hard drives: Up to sixteen (16) SATA-I or SATA-II hard drives must be purchased sepa-  
rately prior to the RAID subsystem installation.  
4. Cabling: The RAID subsystem requires an external VHDCI to VHDCI SCSI round cable to  
connect the subsystem to a host computer. Please see Section 5 Subsystem Connection  
and Operation for sample topologies and configuration options.  
5. Memory module: If you wish to change the pre-installed memory module, a separately  
purchased module must be installed. (See Section 6.3 DIMM Module Replacement)  
6. Rack installation: The enclosure chassis can be installed into rack cabinet using sepa-  
rately purchased mounting rails, rear-attached brackets, or Bosch’s slide rails. (See  
Section 3.6 Rack/Cabinet Installation)

Safety Precautions  
3.3.1  
Precautions and Instructions  
1. Be sure the correct power range (100-120 or 200-230VAC) is supplied by your rack cabi-  
net or power outlet.  
2. 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 greatly 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.  
3. An enclosure without disk drives can weigh over 24 kilograms. Two (2) people are  
required to install or relocate the subsystem. Drives should be removed from the enclo-  
sure before moving the subsystem.  
4. 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.  
5. Handle the system modules by the retention screws, eject levers, or the module’s metal  
frame/face plate only. Avoid touching the PCB boards and connector pins.  
6. None of the covers or replaceable modules should be removed in order to maintain com-  
pliance with safety, emission, or thermal requirements.  
7. Always secure every enclosure module by its retaining screws or make sure it is held in  
place by its latches.  
8. Always make sure the subsystem has a safe electrical earth connection via power cords  
or chassis ground by the rack cabinet.  
9. 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.  
10. 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.  
11. If it is necessary to transport the subsystem, repackage all drives and replaceable mod-  
ules separately.  
3.3.2  
Static-free Installation  
Static electricity can damage the system’s electronic components. To prevent ESD damage to  
any of the components, follow these precautions before touching or handling them:  
Discharge the static electricity accumulated in your body by wearing an anti-static wrist-  
band.  
Avoid carpets, plastic, vinyl, and Styrofoam in your work area.  
Handle all components by holding their edges or metal frames. Avoid touching the  
exposed circuitry on PCB boards and connector pins.

Rack/Cabinet Installation  
The RAID subsystem has been designed to fit into a standard cabinet or rack. Two (2) slide  
rails are available for installing the subsystem into a rack or cabinet. Please contact your sys-  
tem vendor for further details. The subsystem should be installed in the rack or cabinet before  
the hard drives and the drive trays are installed. If the drive trays with the associated hard  
drives are installed, the subsystem will be too heavy to mount into a rack or cabinet. When  
installing the subsystem into a rack or cabinet it is advisable that three people assist in the  
mounting process.  
To install the subsystem into a rack or cabinet please refer to the installation instructions that  
came with the slide rails.  
3.7  
Drive Tray Installation  
Once the hard drives have been installed in the drive trays, the drive trays can be installed into  
the RAID subsystem.  
CAUTION!  
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 not be  
normalized and the subsystem will overheat.  
1. Make sure the key-lock is in the unlocked position, i.e., the groove on its face is in a hori-  
zontal orientation. If the groove is in a vertical position, as shown in Figure 3.1, then the  
key-lock is locked and the front flap on the drive tray cannot be opened.  
Fig. 3.1 Front View of an Individual Drive Tray  
2. Open the front flap on the drive tray. (See Figure 3.2) Push the button on the front of the  
drive tray. The front flap will open in an upward direction.  
Fig. 3.2 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 enclosure. Once the drive tray is lined up with the slot, gently slide  
it in. This should be done smoothly and gently. (See Figure 3.3)

4. Close the front flap on the drive tray. Make sure the front flap is closed properly to  
ensure that the SATA connector at the back of the drive tray is firmly connected to the  
corresponding connector on the mid-plane board. 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 3.4)

Subsystem Monitoring  
4.1  
Subsystem Monitoring Overview  
The RAID subsystem is equipped with a variety of self-monitoring features that help to keep  
subsystem managers informed of the subsystem operational status. These monitoring fea-  
tures provide vital feedback to help you maintain the operational integrity of the subsystem.  
Prompt response to warnings and subsystem component failure notifications will improve the  
overall operation of the subsystem and help ensure the longevity of the RAID subsystem.  
Self-monitoring features include:  
Firmware (FW): The controllers in the RAID subsystem come with pre-installed FW, which  
can be accessed using either the LCD panel or a PC Hyper Terminal. The RAID subsystem  
can be connected to a PC hyper-terminal through the COM ports. Device status informa-  
tion can be obtained from the FW.  
Bosch RAIDWatch: Bosch RAIDWatch is a fully integrated, Java-based, Graphics User  
Interface (GUI) that came with the subsystem and can be used to monitor and maintain  
the subsystem and the RAID controllers using your web browsers. The LAN port at the  
back of each controller module enables you to use an Ethernet cable to connect to the  
subsystem.  
The Bosch RAIDWatch Panel View can be customized to show a direct representation 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 Configuration Client is a powerful module that runs as a back-  
ground Disk and Executive Monitor (DAEMON) independent from Bosch RAIDWatch that  
can be installed redundantly on different hosts. It is used for event notification via email,  
fax, LAN broadcast, SNMP traps, MSN Messenger, ICQ, SMS short messages, and the  
configuration utility screen. 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 located on all active components. These LEDs  
inform you of the integrity of a given component or a given link. You should become famil-  
iar with the different LEDs that are present on the subsystem and be aware of their func-  
tions.  
Audible alarm: An audible alarm is present on the subsystem controller board and will be  
triggered if any of a number of threatening events occur. These events usually jeopardize  
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. If a  
subsystem manager is present, the manager should use either the LCD panel or the PC  
hyper-terminal to determine the cause of the alarm and take the appropriate corrective  
measures. (See Section 4.3 Audible Alarm)  
2
2
I C: The I C bus monitors the operational integrity of the PSUs, cooling modules, and  
RAID controller board temperature.  
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.

When the LED is off, it indicates the fan is functioning properly.  
Fig. 4.7 Cooling Module LEDs and Cooling Fan Locations  
The RAID subsystem has a novel approach to stabilizing the temperature within the subsys-  
tem: When the intelligent sensors on the backplane detect higher temperature, such as high  
ambient 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 cooling or PSU modules have been replaced, the cooling fans will return to low  
speed.

Audible Alarm  
Different controller environmental and operational parameters (like 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 on the RAID subsystem fails. If the RAID subsystem  
manager is onsite and hears an alarm, the manager must read the error message on the LCD  
screen or PC terminal to determine what has triggered the alarm. After determining what has  
occurred, the RAID subsystem manager must take appropriate actions to rectify the problem.  
CAUTION!  
If 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.

Subsystem Connection and Operation  
This chapter introduces sample topologies, daisy-chaining, and external device connections  
for the RAID subsystem and discusses both the power on and power off procedures.  
5.1  
SCSI Connection Overview  
The RAID subsystem supports two (2) SCSI channels and two (2) dual-stacked SCSI connec-  
tors using SCSI-320 (also known as Ultra-320 SCSI), the latest iteration of the SCSI bus stan-  
dard. SCSI-320 enables maximum data transfer rates of up to 320MB/second per channel  
between the host computers and the RAID subsystem. This is twice as fast as the Ultra-160  
standard, allowing users to store data at the fastest SCSI speeds available.  
5.1.1  
5.1.2  
SCSI Cables  
One (1) SCSI cable is used for each RAID subsystem for host connection. A second SCSI cable  
is used to connect the second host channel. Use only high quality SCSI-320 cables from a rep-  
utable manufacturer. To ensure optimum performance, it is necessary to use proper, high  
quality, durable SCSI-320 cables. Failure to do so will result in downgraded performance.  
SCSI Port on the Controller Rear Panel  
The RAID subsystem is equipped with two (2) dual-stacked VHDCI SCSI connectors on the  
back of the enclosure for connecting the subsystem to a host computer and/or to daisy-chain  
other RAID subsystems. (See Figure 5.1) The connectors on the bottom of the controller rear  
panel are for data input and the connectors on the top are for data output.

5.1.3  
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 RAID subsystem. You do not need to  
install an external terminator when a subsystem acts as the last device in the daisy chain con-  
figuration. 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 recommended, 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  
management 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 RAID subsystem 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 termina-  
tion procedures.  
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  
There is no direct association between host ports and drive channels. Drives are associated  
with host port IDs as the logical configuration of drives, e.g., a logical drive. A logical drive can  
be composed of drives on different drive channels, and a logical drive can be associated with  
target IDs on different host ports.  
Drive access contention (that may happen when two (2) host computers can access the same  
array) and data-path failover activities should be handled by a third-party software running on  
host computer(s).  
RAID subsystem host channel SCSI connectors are connected to the servers via host bus  
adapters (HBAs) that have been installed on the host computer(s).  
Single server connection: If a single logical drive is mapped to a single server, a RAID  
management software should be installed in the server to execute RAID functionality.  
Multiple server connection: If a single logical drive is mapped to two (2) separate servers  
through dual-redundant data paths, separately purchased, third-party multipathing and  
clustering software must be installed on both servers. The clustering software will ensure  
that if one (1) server or the data path to a single server fails, the second server will con-  
tinue to provide access to the data.

Dual Hosts  
Fig. 5.3 Dual Host Connection  
In the example shown in Figure 5.3, the two (2) SCSI ports on the RAID subsystem are con-  
nected to two (2) different host computers and an Ethernet cable connects both computers  
to each other. This configuration provides both path and host computer redundancy. If one of  
the host channels becomes disconnected for some reason, or the cable connecting one of the  
host ports to the host computer is damaged, the second path can transmit data from the sub-  
system to the host computer. Similarly, in the clustered hosts configuration, the same array  
can be accessed through different data paths and downtime will be minimized.  
NOTICE!  
To create dual redundant data paths on the host side, it is necessary to install third-party  
failover software on the host computer.

Daisy Chain  
5.3.1  
Daisy Chain Topology  
The RAID subsystem offers the flexibility to daisy chain additional RAID subsystems to meet  
increasing storage needs. In a daisy chain topology, the RAID subsystem can be connected to  
each other. The IN ports on the first subsystem are both connected to separate SCSI-320 host  
computers. The OUT ports on the first subsystem are connected to the IN ports on the second  
subsystem. This process is repeated for the third subsystem.  
Fig. 5.4 Daisy Chain RAID Subsystems  
5.3.2  
Daisy Chain Procedures  
1. Connect the RAID subsystem to the host computer. Use the VHDCI to VHDCI SCSI cable  
that was provided in the packaging box. Attach one end to the host computer and the  
other end to the SCSI IN port on the back of the RAID subsystem.  
2. Daisy chain subsystems. If you wish to connect more than one subsystem, an extra VHDCI  
to VHDCI SCSI cable is required. Attach one end of the cable to the SCSI OUT port and  
the other end to the SCSI IN port in the next subsystem.  
3. Assign chassis IDs. Each chassis must be assigned a unique chassis ID before being pow-  
ered on. The chassis ID for the first RAID subsystem is 0. The chassis IDs for the subsys-  
tems connected to the first RAID subsystem are from 1 to 16. You can assign chassis IDs  
through the LCD panel on the subsystem, firmware, or Bosch RAIDWatch management  
software. (See Figure 5.4)  
4. Create redundant host paths. If access to data is a critical requirement, redundant data  
paths to different LDs (logical drives) or logical volumes (LVs) can be created. To do this,  
logical units (LDs or LVs) are mapped to both host channels (CH0 and CH1 in Figure 5.4.)  
This will ensure that if one host computer fails, the second host computer will be able to  
access the logical units on that host computer.

host computer.  
Power cables: The power cables have been connected to the PSU modules on the subsys-  
tem and plugged into the main power source.  
Ambient temperature: All the subsystem components have been acclimated to the sur-  
rounding temperature.  
5.4.2  
Power On Procedure  
When powering on the RAID subsystem, please follow these steps:  
1. Power on the subsystems that are not connected directly to the host computer, if  
applied.  
If you have daisy chained any RAID subsystem, power on those subsystems before power-  
ing on the first subsystem that is connected to your host computer(s).  
2. Power on the RAID subsystem.  
The first subsystem should be powered on before the host computers. To power on the  
subsystem please follow the description below.  
Using the power cords provided in the package, connect both power sockets on the sub-  
system rear panel to the main power source.  
Turn the two (2) power switches on. (See Figure 5.5) Each switch controls a single PSU,  
therefore make sure that both switches are turned on.

CAUTION!  
Although the PSUs are redundant and a single PSU can provide sufficient power to the sys-  
tem, it is advisable to turn both the power switches on. If only one (1) PSU is operating and  
that PSU fails, the whole system will shut down.  
3. Power on the host computers.  
The host computers should be the last devices that are turned on. Please refer to the  
manual that came with your host computers to see their own power on procedures.  
5.4.3  
Power On Status Check  
Once the RAID subsystem has been powered on, the status of the entire subsystem should be  
checked to ensure that everything is running smoothly and that there are no complications or  
malfunctions.  
1. Controller module LEDs: The Controller Ready, Host Busy, and Drive Busy LEDs should all  
flash green.  
2. Drive tray LEDs: The green LEDs for all the drive trays that contain hard drive should light  
up showing that there is power.  
3. LCD panel LEDs: The blue LED on the LCD panel should illuminate, indicating that power  
is being supplied to the system.  
4. Firmware and Bosch RAIDWatch: The overall status of the system may be checked using  
the pre-installed firmware or the Bosch RAIDWatch GUI.  
5. Audible alarm: If any errors occur during the initialization process, the onboard alarm will  
sound in a hastily repeated manner.  
6. Drive tray LEDs should start flashing, indicating that the RAID control units are attempt-  
ing to access the hard drives.  
System firmware can be configured to support a delayed sequence for starting drives.  
NOTICE!  
The subsystem has been designed to run continuously. If a component fails, the fault can be  
corrected online.

Overview  
6.1.1  
About Subsystem Maintenance  
Constant monitoring and maintenance of your RAID subsystem minimizes subsystem down-  
time and preserves the working integrity of the system for a longer period of time. If any of the  
subsystem components fail, they must be replaced as soon as possible.  
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 modules – Section 6.6 Cooling Module Maintenance  
6. Hard drives – Section 6.7 Replacing a Failed Hard Drive  
6.1.2  
General Notes on Component Replacement  
With the exception of the RAID controller module, all of the components on the RAID sub-  
system, including the PSU modules, cooling modules, and drive trays, are hot-swappable  
and can be changed while the subsystem is still in operation.  
Qualified technicians who are familiar with the RAID subsystem should be the only ones  
who make component replacements. If you are not familiar with the RAID subsystem or  
with RAID subsystem maintenance in general, it is strongly advised that you refer RAID  
subsystem maintenance to a suitably qualified maintenance technician.  
Normalized airflow depends upon the presence of all subsystem components. A subsys-  
tem component, even if it has failed, should not be removed from the subsystem until a  
replacement is readily at hand and can be quickly installed. Removing subsystem compo-  
nents 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 and the I/O board on which it is mounted are very sensitive components  
and can be easily damaged.

Replacing Controller Module Components  
The controller module in the RAID subsystem consists of the following replaceable compo-  
nents:  
DDR RAM DIMM module  
Controller module  
If any of these components fail, it must be replaced. To replace any of these components, the  
system power must first be turned off, and the controller module must be removed from the  
RAID subsystem.  
6.2.1  
Controller Module Maintenance Overview  
The controller module contains a DDR RAM DIMM module. When replacing the controller  
module, the DIMM module must be removed from the old controller module and rein-  
stalled onto the new controller module.  
When replacing the controller module, always remember that the controller board is one  
of the most sensitive components in the RAID subsystem. All previously stipulated safety  
precautions (see Section 3.3 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 for the end user.  
Prior to replacing the controller module, it is imperative for your own safety to be sure  
that no power is being supplied to the system.  
6.2.2  
Removing the Controller Module  
To remove the controller module:  
1. Make sure there is no data access to the subsystem to avoid losing any data. Use the soft-  
ware provided on the host computer to stop all I/O accesses to the subsystem.  
2. Power off the subsystem. Be sure to flush all cache data before powering off the subsys-  
tem. Turn off both power switches on the rear of the subsystem.  
3. Disconnect all cables from the controller module. These include the SCSI cables connect-  
ing to input/output SCSI connectors, Ethernet cable connected to the LAN port, and any  
cables connected to the COM ports.  
4. Remove the screws on the levers at the back of the controller module. (See Figure 6.1)  
Fig. 6.1 Removing the Controller Module Screws  
5. Remove the controller module. Once all the cables have been disconnected, press down  
the two (2) levers at the back of the controller module. The controller module will auto-  
matically be eased out of the controller module bay. Gently pull the controller module out  
of the subsystem. (See Figure 6.2)

1. Remove the controller module from the subsystem (see Section 6.2.2 Removing the Con-  
troller Module.) If the DIMM module is undamaged it can be removed and reinstalled on  
the new controller module. For instructions on removing and installing a DIMM module,  
please see Section 6.3 DIMM Module Replacement.  
2. Install the DIMM module onto the new controller module, making sure that the memory  
module is securely in place. (See Section 6.3 DIMM Module Replacement)  
3. Install the controller module. Make sure the levers at the back of the controller module  
are down. Align the controller module with the controller module bay at the rear of the  
subsystem. Gently slide the controller module in. (See Section 6.3 Installing the Controller  
Module)

DIMM Module Replacement  
The subsystem comes with a pre-installed 256MB capacity or above DDR RAM DIMM module  
on the controller. The controller supports memory up to 1GB. If a DDR RAM DIMM module has  
failed or a different size of DIMM module needs to be used, the pre-installed module must be  
removed and the new one installed. Replacement and installation instructions are described  
fully below.  
6.3.1  
DIMM Module Considerations  
If the memory module on the controller module is going to be replaced, the following issues  
must be considered when purchasing a replacement DIMM module:  
Pre-installed DDR RAM DIMM module: The RAID subsystem comes with a 256MB capacity  
or above DDR RAM DIMM pre-installed on the controller board and can support up to  
1GB capacity. If you wish to change the size of the DDR DIMM, then a new DIMM must be  
installed.  
Purchasing considerations: When purchasing a DDR RAM DIMM module to install on the  
RAID subsystem controller board, contact your subsystem vendor for an updated list of  
compatible DIMM modules.  
DDR RAM DIMM module supported: The RAID subsystem supports DDR RAM DIMM mod-  
ules with memory capacities between 256MB and 1GB.  
Installation considerations: When installing the DDR RAM DIMM module, it is necessary to  
remove the controller module. The controller board is more susceptible to damage than  
the other components and must be handled with extreme care.  
Secure installation: When replacing the DIMM module, make sure that the new DIMM  
module is firmly in place prior to re-installing the controller module. If the DIMM module  
is not firmly in place, the subsystem will not run and the whole procedure must be  
repeated.  
6.3.2  
DIMM Module Replacement Procedure  
NOTICE!  
If you are going to replace or upgrade a DIMM module, please follow the instructions below. If  
you do not want to replace or upgrade a DIMM module and would like to install a controller  
module, please go to Section 6.2.3 Replacing the Controller Module.  
i
onboard DIMM module must be replaced. To replace the DIMM module:  
1. Remove the controller module. (See Section 6.2.2 Removing the Controller Module)  
2. Remove the previously installed DIMM module from the DIMM socket. Pull down the  
white clips on either side of the DIMM module to a 45-degree angle to dislodge the DIMM

Replacing a Faulty BBU Module  
The BBU consists of a bracket, a battery pack, and a PCB board that connects to the back-  
plane board. If a BBU was installed and has failed, it should be replaced. To install or replace  
a BBU, please follow these steps.  
6.4.1  
BBU Warnings and Precautions  
Install or replace the BBU supplied by your subsystem vendors only. Use of battery cells  
provided otherwise will void our warranty.  
Always dispose of discharged or used batteries in an ecologically responsible manner.  
Dispose used BBU at authorized battery disposal sites only.  
Do not use nor leave the BBU near a heat source. Heat can melt the insulation and dam-  
age 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 leak, 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.  
6.4.2  
Procedure  
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
1. Remove the faulty BBU from the chassis. Loosen the two (2) retention screws located on  
both sides of the BBU, then pull out the BBU. (See Figure 6.8)  
Fig. 6.8 Removing the BBU Module  
2. Install the new BBU. Align the BBU with the slot, and then gently push the BBU into the  
slot.  
3. Secure the BBU to the subsystem by fastening the two (2) retention screws on the back  
of the BBU (See Figure 6.9)

Replacing a Faulty PSU Module  
6.5.1  
PSU Module Overview  
Two (2) redundant PSU modules: The RAID subsystem is preinstalled with two (2) 460W,  
fully redundant, hot-swappable PSU modules. These modules are located at the rear of  
the subsystem.  
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 module  
is mounted in the lower level. When removing the PSU from the subsystem, the cooling  
module is also being removed.  
PSU printing mark: Before you insert a new PSU, be sure that it has the same printing  
mark on its handle as that shown on the handle of a remaining PSU. Double-check to  
avoid mixing a PSU of previous series. (See Figure 6.10)  
Fig. 6.10 Label on the PSU Handle  
Immediate replacement: When a PSU fails, it should be replaced immediately. However,  
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.  
6.5.2  
Replacing the PSU Module  
CAUTION!  
Although the PSU modules are fully redundant, it is not advisable to run the RAID subsystem  
with a single PSU module for an extended period of time. If the second PSU module fails, the  
subsystem will be shut down.  
To replace a PSU, please follow these steps:  
1. Turn off the PSU. Using the power switch located at the top of the rear panel, directly  
above the PSU module. (See Figure 6.11)  
2. Remove the power cable that connects the RAID subsystem to the main power source.  
The power socket is found on the left side of each power supply module. (See  
Figure 6.11)

Cooling Module Maintenance  
6.6.1  
Cooling Module Overview  
Redundant cooling modules: The RAID subsystem is equipped with two (2) redundant,  
hot-swappable, dual-blower cooling modules located on the lower level of the subsystem  
rear panel. These cooling modules control the internal operational temperature of the  
subsystem and therefore their working integrity should be maintained at all times.  
Detecting a failed cooling module: If a cooling module fails, the LED located at the back  
of the module, an audible alarm, the firmware, the Bosch RAIDWatch panel view, or the  
Configuration Client can notify you.  
Replacing a cooling module: Once you are notified that a cooling module has failed, it  
should be replaced as soon as possible. A failed cooling module should only be removed  
from the subsystem when you have a replacement module immediately available that can  
be installed as soon as the failed cooling module has been removed.  
CAUTION!  
The latches at the back of the cooling module secure the cooling module into the enclosure. If  
these latches are broken, the warranty on the cooling module will be void.  
6.6.2  
Replacing a Cooling Module  
If one of the cooling modules fails, it must be replaced as soon as possible. The cooling mod-  
ules are secured to the chassis with the two (2) black latches located on the rear surface of  
the module itself. To replace the cooling module, please follow these steps:  
CAUTION!  
Although the cooling modules are fully redundant, it is not advisable to run the RAID sub-  
system with a single cooling module for an extended period of time. If the remaining cool-  
ing 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.  
1. To remove the cooling module, pull both side latches toward the center of the cooling  
module. Withdraw the cooling module from the subsystem by gently pulling on the silver  
handle at the bottom of the module. (See Figure 6.17)  
Side Latches  
Silver Handle

Fig. 6.17 Removing the Cooling Module  
2. Install the new cooling module by aligning the module with the cooling module slot on  
the lower section of the PSU module and gently sliding it in. The latches will hold the  
module in place. (See Figure 6.18)

6.7  
Replacing a Failed Hard Drive  
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 maxi-  
mum capacity of the smallest drive. Choose big drives with the same storage 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 RAID subsystem described in this manual can use SATA-I or SATA-II hard  
drives. Please ensure that you purchase the correct hard drives.  
CAUTION!  
The hard drives and drive trays should only be installed into the subsystem after the subsys-  
tem has been mounted into a rack cabinet. If the hard drives are installed first, the subsystem  
will be too heavy to lift and the possible impact during installation may damage your drives.  
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 cause damage to the drives.  
Observe all ESD prevention methods when installing drives.  
Only use screws supplied with the drive canisters. Longer screws may damage the drive.  
6.7.1  
Hard Drive Maintenance Overview  
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.  
Handles: If the failed hard drive is behind either the left or right front handle, unfold the  
handles to open the front access to the drive trays. (See Figure 6.19)  
Fig. 6.19 Open the Front Handles  
Open flap: Once the flap on the drive tray has been opened, the drive tray must be  
removed from the subsystem. Failure to remove the drive tray from the subsystem after  
the flap has been opened may cause data errors.  
Remove drives slowly: When removing a drive tray from the RAID subsystem, pull the  
drive tray out only about one inch and then wait for at least 30 seconds for the hard drive  
motor to spin down before taking it out completely. Any impact to the hard drive while  
the drive motor is spinning can damage the drive.  
Keep a 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 or the normalized airflow will  
be disrupted and subsystem components will overheat and may become permanently  
damaged.

6.7.2  
Replacing a Hard Drive  
When a hard drives fails, it needs to be replaced. To replace a hard drive, please follow these  
steps:  
CAUTION!  
The hard drive is fragile—always handle with extreme care. Do not drop the hard drive; always  
be slow, gentle, and careful when setting down a hard drive. Only handle the hard drive by the  
edges, and avoid touching any components or connectors.  
1. Identify the drive tray that contains the hard drive that needs to be replaced.  
2. Open the key-lock. To remove the drive tray from the enclosure, the key-lock must be  
unlocked. (See Figure 6.20) 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. 6.20 Drive Tray Key-lock Rotation  
3. Open the front flap by pushing the button at the front of the drive tray. (See Figure 6.21)  
The drive tray front flap will automatically be lifted and the drive tray will be dislodged  
from the chassis.  
Fig. 6.21 Front View of an Individual Drive Tray  
4. Remove the drive tray with the hard drive, gently and carefully withdrawing the drive tray  
with hard drive from the chassis.  
5. Remove the four (4) retention screws located on the sides of the drive tray (two on each  
side.) (See Figure 6.22)
