Before you upgrade the DS3200 storage subsystem from a
vYou purchase a second environmental services module (ESM) for each EXP3000 storage expansion enclosure that is attached to the DS3200 storage subsystem. You install the second ESM during this procedure.
vYou purchase the SAS cables that are required to create a redundant drive enclosure path.
To upgrade a
1.Turn off the DS3200 storage subsystem and all attached EXP3000 storage expansion enclosures.
2.Install a second RAID controller in the DS3200 storage subsystem by using the instructions in “Installing a controller” on page 64.
3.Install a second ESM in each EXP3000 that is connected to the DS3200 storage subsystem:
a.Read the safety information that begins on page xi and “Best practices guidelines” on page 6.
b.Remove the ESM filler panel from the rightmost ESM bay of the EXP3000:
1)On the left side of the ESM filler panel, press the orange release tab to the right just enough to release the handle (no more than 6 mm [0.25 in.]) as you rotate the handle upward.
2)Using the handle, gently slide the ESM filler panel out of the EXP3000. Save the ESM filler panel for future use.
c.Hold the new ESM so that the handle is fully extended.
d.Gently slide the ESM into the bay until it stops. Rotate the handle downward into the closed position until it clicks.
4.Using the information provided in “DS3200 storage subsystem drive cabling topologies” on page 28, use SAS cables to create a redundant
