3.3.3 Modular Storage Shelf BA35x-Sx Subsystem

There may be up to eight StorageWorks building blocks (SBBs) on each modular storage shelf BA35x-Sx subsystem. The StorageWorks Building Block (SBB) slots are numbered 0 through 7 from right to left with the power supply SBB in slot 7. On the IP simplex system, the storage SBBs are in slots 0-6. On the duplex system, the available storage SBBs are in slots 0-5.

_____________________________ Note____________________________

The SCSI address for the SSB device is defined automatically by the SSB slot location.

After power is supplied to the IP Platform, observe the status LEDs for the following successful indications:

∙On a power supply SBB, both green status LEDs should be on.

∙On a storage SBB, the green device activity LED is either on, flashing, or off. The amber device fault LED is off.
