FRU and Upgrade Overview

Tools and supplies needed
Ensure that you have the required tools and supplies on hand for the PowerProtect system installation. You will need: l Antistatic wrist strap and conductive foam pad l Screwdrivers:
n Phillips #1 n Phillips #2 with a 4- to 6-inch blade and a magnetic tip n Phillips #2 with a 12 in. or longer blade and magnetic tip n Flat head with a 3/16 in. blade n Flat head with a 1/4 in. blade n Torx T8 n Torx T10 n Torx T30 with adjustable torque setting n Torque l Flashlight (free-standing for single-person installations) l Roll of 5/8 inch Velcro cable tie material (3M Scotchmate SJ-3401 or similar) l Null modem cable with DB-9 female connector to connect a service laptop to the PowerProtect system. l Power adapter or a power cord for your laptop power adapter so that you can power your laptop from a rack PDU The following additional tools and supplies might be needed when working with PowerProtect systems: l Torque screwdriver l Pliers n Needle nose n Regular n Locking l 10 mm socket or wrench l Diagonal wire cutters (for cutting tie wraps) l exFAT formatted 4 GB or greater USB flash memory drive l Tie wraps (4 in. and 8 in.) l Labels l Pen or marker l Masking tape
Safety overview
CAUTION

12

Dell EMC PowerProtect DD9400 Field Replacement Unit and Customer Replacement Unit Guide

FRU and Upgrade Overview

l If the system is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the protection provided by the equipment may be impaired.
l The RJ45 sockets on the motherboard, PCI cards, or I/O modules are for Ethernet connection only and must not be connected to a telecommunications network.
Review this list of important safety recommendations.
l All plug-in modules and blank plates are part of the fire enclosure and must be removed only when a replacement can be added immediately. The system must not be run without all parts in place.
l A DD9400 system must be operated only from a power supply input voltage range of 100­240 VAC and 50­60 Hz.
l The system is intended to operate with all installed power supplies working as intended.
l Provide a suitable power source with electrical overload protection.
l A safe electrical earth connection must be provided to each power cord. Check the grounding of the power sources before applying power.
l The plug on each power supply cord is used as the main device to disconnect power from the system. Ensure that the socket outlets are located near the equipment and are easily accessible.
l Permanently unplug the unit if you think it is damaged in any way and before moving the system. To completely remove system power, you must disconnect all power supplies.
l The power connections must always be disconnected prior to removal or replacement of a power supply module from any of the components in the system.
l A faulty power supply module should be replaced within 24 hours.
l Do not lift system components by yourself. A DD9400 system weighs up to 63.05 lbs (28.6 kg).
CAUTION PowerProtect systems are heavy. Use at least two people or a mechanical lift to move any system.
l To comply with applicable safety, emission, and thermal requirements, covers must not be removed and all bays must be fitted with plug-in modules.
l For ESD protection, Dell EMC recommends that you wear a suitable antistatic wrist or ankle strap. Observe all conventional ESD precautions when handling plug-in modules and components.
Safety instructions
WARNING Whenever you need to lift the system, get others to assist you. To avoid injury, do not attempt to lift the system by yourself.
WARNING Opening or removing the system cover while the system is powered on may expose you to a risk of electric shock.
CAUTION Do not operate the system without the cover for a duration exceeding five minutes. Operating the system without the system cover can result in component damage.
CAUTION Many repairs may only be done by a certified service technician. You should only perform troubleshooting and simple repairs as authorized in your product documentation, or as directed by the online or telephone service and support team. Damage due to servicing that is not authorized by Dell is not covered by your warranty. Read and follow the safety instructions that are shipped with your product.Always use a static mat and anti-static wristband while working on components inside the system.

Dell EMC PowerProtect DD9400 Field Replacement Unit and Customer Replacement Unit Guide

13

FRU and Upgrade Overview
Note: It is recommended that you always use an anti-static mat and an anti-static wristband while working on components inside the system. CAUTION To ensure proper operation and cooling, all bays in the system and system fans must be always populated with a component or a blank.
Establish a connection to the PowerProtect system
About this task The PowerProtect system supports a direct serial connection, or serial over LAN (SOL). Both methods cannot be enabled at the same time. The serial port and Ethernet ports are located on the back of the system, below the three PCI risers. The serial port is located on the back of the system. Figure 1 Maintenance connections

1. Ethernet port 2. Serial port (COM 1)
Procedure
1. Verify with the customer whether the system uses a serial connection or SOL, and follow one of the procedures below as required.
Establish a serial connection
Procedure
1. Connect an administrative console to the serial port. 2. Launch a terminal emulation program from your computer and configure the following
communication settings:
Note: 115200 baud rate is required for the system to work correctly; 9600 baud rate does not work.

Before you begin The system must be configured to accept SOL connections. The Hardware Overview and Installation Guide for this system provides instructions to configure the system for SOL. Procedure
1. Open an SSH shell. 2. Run the following command to connect to iDRAC.
ssh <iDRAC-IP-address> -l <iDRAC-username>. 3. Log in with the credentials for the iDRAC username. 4. Run one of the following commands to initiate the SOL session.

Identify a failed OS disk
Before you begin Establish a connection to the system as described in Establish a connection to the PowerProtect system on page 14. About this task Complete the following steps to identify the failed drive. Procedure
1. Verify the drive fault LED on the left control panel at the front of the system is illuminated solid amber. Figure 2 Drive fault LED

2. Run the alerts show current command to identify the location of the failed disk. Record the slot number of the failed disk.
CAUTION The physical labeling of the disks on the system chassis, and the disk numbering in DD OS do not match. The physical labeling starts with Disk 0, and DD OS starts with Disk 1.
Note: The sample output below only includes the alert object and alert message. It does not include the columns for the alert ID, post time, severity, and alert class which are part of the actual output.
