DSN-5000-10 Expansion Array

Quick Start Guide

O
The DSN-5000-10 Expansion Array Quick Start Guide provides
N
the information needed to connect additional DSN-5000-10
hot-pluggable expansion arrays to your primary array: up to
three to your DSN-5110-10, and up to six to your DSN-5210-10
or 5410-10. Each expansion array provides an additional 12
drive slots, and is equipped with one or two I/O Modules. The
dual I/O Module expansion array is used with a dual-controller
A
primary array for high availability in the event of a failure on
one controller.
R
Important Safety Information:
Use only the expansion arrays and cables provided by D-Link. DO
NOT use any other cable to connect the expansion arrays.
R
Before you install the DSN-5000-10 expansion array, please read
all documentation provided on the Product CD.
A
If you are adding a third or subsequent expansion array, you must
obtain a SAS-to-SAS expansion cable for each I/O module in the
additional arrays. This cable is not included with the Expansion
Y
Array, but it is available at no cost from D-Link.

One DSN-5000-10 expansion array (includes backplane, 12 drive
carriers with drive blanks, two power supplies, 48 drive carrier
screws holding drive blanks, and one canister filler plate)

One expansion I/O module in a canister, inserted into the rear of
the DSN-5000-10 chassis

One SAS expansion cable (primary-to-expansion array)
and two power cords.

One rack-mount kit in a box (includes rails and mounting
hardware)

One DSN-5000 Series CD

One set of packing materials and cartons
If contents are missing or damaged please contact your supplier.
Save all packing materials in case you have to return the unit.

What Else You Need
To complete the expansion array installation, you need SATA or
SAS drives to be installed in the expansion array(s), and a
connection to a DSN-5110-10/5210-10/5410-10 primary array.
Note: The DSN-5000 Series primary array can support SAS or SATA
hard disk drives from a variety of manufacturers (48 for the DSN-
5110-10 and 84 for the DSN-5210-10 & 5410-10). It is possible (but
not recommended) to mix SAS and SATA drives in the same array.
Also, if you anticipate using dual controllers for HA operation, SAS
drives are required.

Rack-Mount Instructions
The DSN-5000-10 expansion arrays can be mounted in a standard
19-inch rack using the rack-mount kit provided with the DSN-5000-
10 expansion array.
Note: The rack cabinet must provide sufficient airflow to the front
and back of the expansion arrays for correct cooling. Ventilation
must be sufficient to exhaust heat from the equipment at the rear
of the rack. Plan the rack installation with the heaviest item on
the bottom of rack.

right sides of the rack supporting the DSN-5000-10 expansion
array.
B.
With the help of another person, slide each expansion array into place
(without drives installed) and secure with the mounting hardware.
C.
Refer to the documentation for your rack and to the DSN-5000 Series
Hardware Reference Guide for additional rack-mounting instructions.

The back of each DSN-5000-10 expansion array provides two SAS
connectors. The connector labeled HOST is for connecting the
expansion array to the mini SAS connector on the back of the DSN-5000
Series primary array. The connector labeled EXP is used to connect
additional expansion arrays. Refer to Section 5 of this guide.
