The power cables must be arranged neatly and have no damage on the coverings. The
insulation layer of the conductors must be intact.
As recommended, the power cables must be laid separately from signal cables to minimize
the electromagnetic interference.
Issue 02 (2011-07-30)
The power cables to be laid in the aisles must be bundled with cable ties. Besides, the cable
segments at the inlet or outlet of the cable trough and the bend part of the power cables
must be bundled with cable ties. The bundled cables must be close to each other, straight
and neat. The cable ties are arranged at even spacing between each other and are properly
fastened.

The power cables laid in the cable trough do not need to be bundled and must be kept within
the cable trough, but they must be straight without any crossing.
When the bundled power cables bend, the bend radius must be at least trifold the cable
diameter to avoid breaking the inner core of the cables caused by an excessive stress on the
bend part.
To ensure the bundling strength, do not tie several cable ties together to bundle power
cables.
The spacing between cable ties on the bundled cables should be kept even and three to four
times the diameter of a cable.
After bundling the power cables, trim the cable ties and leave no cusp at the joints.

The signal cables must be laid separately from the power cables.
The signal cables must be bent smoothly with a minimum bend radius of at least 60 mm.
Avoid damaging the insulation cover of the conductors when laying the signal cables.
The signal cables must be laid in a manner in which convenient maintenance and expansion
must be ensured.
The signal cables to be laid in the aisles need to be bundled with cable ties. The cable
segments at the inlet or outlet of the cable trough and the bend part of the signal cables need
to be bundled with cable ties.
The signal cables to be laid in the cabling trough do not need to be bundled, but they must
be kept within the cable trough and must be straight without any crossing.
The bundled cables must be close to each other, straight and neat.
When the bundled cables bend, the bend radius must be at least 60 mm to avoid breaking
the inner core of the signal cables caused by an excessive stress on the bend part.
To ensure the bundling strength, do not tie several bundling tapes together to bundle the
signal cables.
The spacing of cable ties on the bundled cables must be kept even and three to four times
the diameter of a cable.
After bundling the signal cables, trim the cable ties and leave no cusp at the joint.
Prerequisite
Before laying optical fibers, prepare the following materials:
l
Optical transceivers
Optical fibers
Context
When connecting the optical fibers, note the following:
Issue 02 (2011-07-30)
59
Do not reinsert an optical fiber immediately after it is pulled out. As recommended, after
an optical fiber is pulled out, wait at one minute before reinserting it.
The optical transceiver is electrostatic sensitive and must be placed in an ESD preventive
and dust-proof environment during transportation, storage, or use.
The optical fiber connector must be kept clean and free from scratches.
Do not squeeze, distort, fold, or fix the optical fibers, nor bend the optical fibers as a circle
with a radius less than 5 cm. Otherwise, the optical fibers may be damaged, which reduces
the data transfer performance or causes data loss.
Cover the optical fibers and optical transceivers that are free of use with protective caps.
The modes of optical fibers and optical module include single mode and multiple mode.
The mode of the optical fiber and that of the optical module must be consistent. The S2600
uses the multiple mode optical fibers and optical module.
If the storage system is configured with 44S FC interface module (which provides 00, 01,
03 and 04 host ports), connecting the 00 and 01 host ports (or 02 and 03 host ports) to the
same FC switch is forbidden; otherwise, the data link fails.
DANGER
When installing optical fibers, do not keep your eyes close to or stare at the optical outlet.
Figure 8-1 shows the direct connection between the FC host port and the application server (for
DAS networking).

Issue 02 (2011-07-30)
80
Context
CAUTION
l
During power-on, do not remove or plug optical fibers, network cables, system disks, or
interface cards. Otherwise, data may be lost.
Before power-on, ensure that the power of the cabinet is switched off.
During power-on, do not remove or insert in controllers, disks, host port modules, optical
fibers, serial cables, or network cables. Otherwise, data may be lost.
Before the disks stop storing or accessing data, do not switch off the storage system, nor
switched on the storage system immediately after the power is cut off. Otherwise, the disks
may be damaged and data on them may be lost. When the storage system is cut off, wait
at least one minute before powering on the storage system again.
When the power switch on the front of the controller enclosure is switch off, power off the
disk enclosures after the controller enclosure is completely powered off (all indicators turn
off). Otherwise, the storage system goes to power off slowly.
When a disk enclosure is powered off accidentally, wait at least 3 minutes before powering
on the disk enclosure again.
WARNING
l
During power-on, do not wear the wrist strap. Otherwise, an electric shock may be caused.
Do not contact the connectors of the power cables and signal cables. The power cables and
signal cables are electrified. Contacting the connectors of the power cables and signal cables
may cause electric shock.
The AC or DC power distribution panel are located in the upper part of the cabinet front.
Figure 10-1 shows the AC power distribution panel.
Issue 02 (2011-07-30)

Procedure
Step 1 Check the labels on the power cables and match them with the power switches on the front side
of the cabinet power distribution panel.
For example, if the label of the AC power cable that connects to the controller enclosure reads
"PowerBox Output B_8", you can decide that the power switch of the controller enclosure is
SW8 in the Output B module as indicated in Figure 10-1.
Step 2 Sequentially turn on the power switches corresponding to all the devices.

ESD Protection
The equipment-affecting electrostatic induction comes from the external electric field such as
outdoor high voltage transmission line or lightning. It also comes from the internal system such
as indoor environment, floor materials or equipment structure.
Static electricity may damage the chips on integrated circuit boards and cause faults in software
and electronic switch. Statistics shows that 60 percent of the damaged circuit boards are caused
by static electricity. It is essential to take effective ESD protection measures.
It is recommended to take the following measures:
l
Ground the devices well. While laying the raised floor covered with semi-conductive
materials, copper foil must be used for grounding at a number of points on the floor (the
copper foil must be placed between the cement ground and the semi-conductive floor and
must be connected with the grounding cable).
Take dust-proof measures. Dusts may do great harm to the S2600. Dusts or other particles
getting into the equipment room may cause poor connection between connectors or metal
connecting points. When the humidity in the equipment room is high, dusts may cause
electrical leakage. Part of device failures are caused by accumulated dusts. Especially, when
the humidity in the room is too low, electrostatic adherence may occur.
Keep proper temperature and humidity. Too high humidity may make the metal components
rusty, while too low humidity may induce static electricity.
To prevent electrostatic damage to the devices, wear an ESD wrist strap and ESD clothes
when touching a circuit board.
Interference Prevention
The increasing electromagnetic signals transmitted in the air may affect the communication
quality and even result in communication interruptions. The electromagnetic interference (EMI)
sources include:
l
Transformer
Switches
Waveform distortion of the power supply network caused during the operation of large
equipment
Natural interference sources such as terrestrial magnetic field and external radiation
The interference, from inside or outside of the devices or the application system, affects the
devices through conductive modes such as capacitance coupling, inductance coupling,
electromagnetic wave radiation, common impedance (including grounding system) and cable
(power and signal cables). The external interference comes from the signal cable, power cable,
grounding system and spatial electromagnetic wave.
Integrated circuits (ICs) have the interference resistance capability to a degree. However when
the external noises go beyond their anti-interference tolerance, corrupted signals and even system
malfunction will be caused. It is impossible to eliminate or shield all the interference sources,
but the following measures can be taken to suppress the interference signals:
l

coil of the power supply transformer is coupled to the secondary coil through distributed

106
capacitors. To suppress such interference, you can use an appropriate transformer, and
install a low-pass filter at the inlet of the power supply cable.
l
The interference of the transient voltage in the power supply network can be reduced by
inputting power directly from the primary transformer with a filter capacitor for the S2600.
Before directly using the mains supply, effective measures against interference from power
supply network must be taken.
The key to eliminate the interference from the grounding system is to avoid loops among
various grounds, such as the signal ground (including analog ground and digital ground),
device working ground, protection ground, and shield ground, or loops formed by large
distributed capacitors. Otherwise, the common impedance interference from the grounding
system may affect the operation of the equipment. In buildings other than high-rises, the
working ground of the S2600 must be separated as far as possible from the ground for
electricity equipment and lightning protection device.
EMI from the telecommunications line must be restrained. Influenced by high frequency
electromagnetic field (external interference), high longitudinal voltage will occur to the
core and sheath of the communication cable. Because of the asymmetry of cores in the
cables, the longitudinal voltage generates a horizontal noise voltage at the ends of the cores.
When both ends of the cable sheath are grounded, the sheath functions as a shielding layer,
greatly reducing the longitudinal voltage and the interference voltage. Besides, other
effective methods include:
Reduce the voltage or current of the interference source.
Reduce the line length and the spacing of the conducting wires to narrow the area of the
affected loop.
Place the insulated conducting wires on the grounded floor directly.
Use a special grounding feedback cable to avoid co-impedance.
Twist the signal cable and the feedback cable together to offset partial peripheral
electromagnetic interference.
Fire Protection
For small equipment rooms, a certain number of portable fire extinguishers must be equipped
in each room for an initial fire control. In large equipment rooms, fire extinguishing facilities
should be equipped. An automatic fire alarm system must also be equipped in the equipment
room. All buildings with fire alarm system must have fire emergency lighting system and
evacuation instruction marks at important places, paths and gateways.
Anti-earthquake Requirements
The designed anti-earthquake intensity of the equipment room must be one degree (Richter scale)
higher than that of the common buildings. The equipment room building that cannot meet the
requirement should be reinforced. When installing the S2600, the following anti-earthquake
measures must be taken:
l
Use steel framework for the cabinet of the equipment and fix the boards in the cabinet with
locking devices.
The cabinet is reinforced with slide rails at the top and supports at the bottom.
Issue 02 (2011-07-30)
107
Lightning Protection
Chimneys, antennae or other things over 15 m tall on the top of the equipment room building
must be designed according to the lightning protection requirements for civil buildings.
Measures must be taken against direct flash and intrusion of lightning current. In the main highrise transmission building, protective measures should be taken to prevent side lightning strokes,
especially in frequent lightning areas.
The main equipment-room building meet the following lightning protection requirements:
l
The external metal window frame must be connected to the lightning protection wire.
The lightning protection metal bands must be placed at specified spacing on the outside
wall.
The building must be installed with lightning arrester nets or bands at the positions
susceptible to lightning strokes. Lightning prevention wires or lightning rods should be
installed on the top of chimneys and antennas that protrude out of the building. The crosssection area of the grounding wire of the lightning protection device should not be smaller
than 120 mm2, while the spacing between the wires not larger than 30 m.
Outdoor cables and metal pipes must be grounded outside the building, and the outdoor
overhead cables must be equipped with lightning protection facilities at their entrance to
the building.
It is recommended to ground the lightning arresters on the roof plates, beams, and pillars
made of reinforcement concrete and steel bars.
Joint grounding system is recommended for the lightning protection grounding of the building.
The joint grounding system shall connect the BGND, PGND, lightning protection grounding of
the building, and grounding of the power frequency AC power supply system. A high earth
resistance is required by the joint grounding system. The grounding requirements for different
devices vary, so the resistance of the joint grounding system should be determined according to
the minimum resistance required for the grounding device.
It is recommended to use steel bars in the walls and pillars of the building as grounding parts
for lightning protection. These grounding parts should be electrically connected to equalize the
electric potential in the building.

Step 1 Cut the cable into segments of proper lengths and install the boots of the RJ-45 connector to the
cable.
Step 2 Use the blade or knife to peel 30 mm off the jacket.
Step 3 Use the blade or knife to make a 5 mm crack on the jacket and install a shielded iron cover on
the cable weaving layer, and then push the shielded iron cover into the jacket.

Step 4 Use the diagonal pliers to cut 20 mm off the cable weaving layer, grounding wire, aluminum
foil and polyester band.
Do not destroy the cable weaving layer and the insulation core when peeling the jacket.
Step 5 Arrange the four twisted pairs of wires in order and insert them into the wire fastening slot.
Keep the original distance of the twisted pairs as much as possible when inserting them into the
slot. Table C-2 lists the connection sequence of the network cables.
Step 6 Arrange the wires neatly and cut off the redundant lengths of wires along the edge of the wire
fastening slot, thus ensuring the proper lengths of the remaining wires.
Step 7 Install the plastic cover to the wire fastening slot, and then fasten the slot.
Keep pushing the cover to the slot until you hear a sound of "click" to ensure the cover is
completely in position, as shown in Figure C-14.

Step 8 Push the shielded iron cover to the RJ-45 connector, as shown in Step 1 of Figure C-15.
Use the diagonal pliers to crimp the metal part on the RJ-45 connector. Ensure that the conductors
inside the wires are well connected with the metal part and the RJ-45 connector is placed
correctly. After crimping the RJ-45 connector, ensure that the metal part on it is lower than the
plastic cover.
