in a rack that is part of an EVA6400/8400 storage array. You can add a disk enclosure to the EVA6400/8400 while the array is online. You can only add one disk enclosure online at a time. These instructions do not include adding an expansion rack. For expansion rack information, see the HP 6400/8400 - HP EVA8400 | HP StorageWorks EVA6400/8400 M6412A disk enclosure installation ins - Page 4

On the rear of the rail, squeeze out of the way to let you install the enclosure in the rails. Attaching the rails 5 - HP EVA8400 | HP StorageWorks EVA6400/8400 M6412A disk enclosure installation ins - Page 6
to be sure it is firmly engaged in the rack and that all latches are engaged in the rack holes. 6. Repeat Step 1 through Step 5 for the left rail. Installing the disk enclosure 1. Remove the bezel covers from each side of the enclosure (see Figure 6 (page 6)).

8). IMPORTANT: When installing multiple disk enclosures, balance the quantity and sizes of disk drives between the enclosures as evenly as click. Figure 12 Inserting a drive blank Cabling the enclosure You can connect a disk enclosure to the EVA while the EVA is online or offline. The offline method - HP EVA8400 | HP StorageWorks EVA6400/8400 M6412A disk enclosure installation ins - Page 9
when connecting disk enclosures to the EVA6400/8400: • One rack may contain two EVA6400 or EVA8400 controllers and a maximum of 18 disk enclosures. The EVA6400 supports a maximum of 18 disk controllers. The EVA8400 supports up to 27 disk enclosures, but adding disk enclosures 19 through 27 - HP EVA8400 | HP StorageWorks EVA6400/8400 M6412A disk enclosure installation ins - Page 10
step for controller B. Wait five minutes for the array to stabilize. 10. Verify that I/O modules A and B on the added disk enclosure have been assigned an index number of the next higher enclosure number. For example, if the previous highest index number was "3," then the installed enclosure should - HP EVA8400 | HP StorageWorks EVA6400/8400 M6412A disk enclosure installation ins - Page 11
11. In HP P6000 Command View, verify that the newly installed disk enclosure appears as part of the array hardware in the navigation pane, and that the I/O modules show a good operational status.

6. Using a power cord provided in your kit, plug one end into a disk enclosure power supply and the other end into a rack power distribution module. Plug the left power supply into the left module and the right power supply into the right module. 7. Press and hold the power push-button (located at - HP EVA8400 | HP StorageWorks EVA6400/8400 M6412A disk enclosure installation ins - Page 13
number was "3," then the installed enclosure should display "4." 11. In HP P6000 Command View, verify that the newly installed disk enclosure appears as part of the array hardware in the navigation pane, and that the I/O modules show a good operational status.

cabled first as long as the other I/O module ports are not unplugged until cabling is complete on the first I/O module and you have completed step 4. This enables the controllers to redundantly manage storage while the cables are briefly pulled and reconnected on one side. 14 Cabling the enclosure - HP EVA8400 | HP StorageWorks EVA6400/8400 M6412A disk enclosure installation ins - Page 15
from the newly added enclosure cabled to the array, there will be HP P6000 Command View warnings that indicate disk drives are only connected on one of the redundant Fibre Channel loops. This is to be expected, and the warnings should clear as soon as the other I/O module is connected. 4. Once you
