2.10 System service card
The system service card which ships with the DS6800 can be placed in a cavity below the lower RAID controller card. It is a plastic card that contains important information on how to maintain your DS6800.
2.11 Storage Manager console
The DS6800 requires a separate PC to act as the DS Storage Manager console. This PC is not a feature of the DS6800 and must be ordered separately. The hardware and software requirements for this PC can be found in Chapter 8, “Configuration planning” on page 125.
2.12 Cables
The DS6800 ships with three different sorts of cables:
Power cords
Each DS6000 enclosure ships with six power cords. These should allow attachment to
both rack power outlets and standard power outlets. The rack power outlet cords come in two lengths. The standard power cords are specified by feature code at time of purchase (based on the outlet used in your country). Only two of the six cords are used.
Ethernet cables
Each DS6800 server enclosure ships with one Ethernet
Each DS6800 server enclosure ships with two standard Ethernet cables. These should be used in conjunction with an Ethernet hub or switch (that will need to be supplied or ordered separately) so that the controllers are able to communicate with each other and the DS Storage Management Console. This connectivity is for configuration and regular maintenance.
Service cable
Each DS6800 server enclosure ships with a special service cable and DB9 converter. This cable looks very similar to a telephone cable. These components should be kept aside for use by an IBM System Service Representative and will normally be used only for problem debug.
