   c) Select the estimated amount of time of the service action from the pull-down.

   d) Select the Reserve Cabinet(s) button.

   e) Other users will be alerted that this service action is in progress when they log in.

2. Observe all ESD precautions.

3. If the first expansion cabinet is being added, use two MTP Cables 537-1060-01 to connect the data path FC connections between the master rack and the first expansion rack.

   Note: The FC1 connections are the data path FC connections to the master SE6020 controllers. The FC2 connections are the data path FC connections to the alternate master SE6020 controllers.

4. Before proceeding to steps 5 and 6 view the following cable illustration.

   a) View the data path FC connections for the first expansion cabinet illustration.

5. Use the first cable to connect the "EXP A" port of the expansion cabinet patch panel to the "EXP1 A FC1" port of the master cabinet first I/O panel.

6. Use the second cable to connect the "EXP B" port of the expansion cabinet patch panel to the "EXP1 A FC2" port of the master cabinet first I/O panel.

7. If a second expansion cabinet is being added, use two MTP cables 537-1060-01 to connect the data path FC connections between the master cabinet and the second expansion cabinet.

8. Before proceeding to steps 9 and 10 view the following cable illustration.

   a) View the data path FC connections for the second expansion cabinet illustration.

9. Use the first cable to connect the "EXP A" port of the expansion cabinet. patch panel to "EXP2 B FC1" port of the master cabinet second I/O panel.

10. Use the second cable to connect the "EXP B" port of the expansion cabinet patch panel to "EXP2 B FC2" port of the master cabinet second I/O panel.

11. Use the two ethernet 530-3138-01 cables to connect the control path Ethernet connections between the master cabinet and the first and second expansion cabinets.

12. If you are adding the first expansion cabinet, then use this ethernet cable to connect "ENET" port of the expansion cabinet I/O panel to "EXP ENET1" port of the main cabinet first I/O panel.

    a) View the ethernet cable connections for the first expansion cabinet illustration.

13. If you are adding a second expansion cabinet, then use this ethernet cable to connect "ENET" port of the expansion cabinet I/O panel to "EXP ENET2" port of the main cabinet first I/O panel.

    a) View the ethernet cable connections for the first and second expansion cabinets illustration.

14. If remote lights out power management needs to be added to the first expansion cabinet, use the two DB-9 Male-to-Female serial cables 530-3210-01 to connect the master cabinet and the first expansion cabinet.

15. Before proceeding to steps 16 and 17 view the following cable illustration.

    a) View the lights out power management connections for the first expansion cabinet illustration.

16. Use the first serial cable to connect "Power Sequencer Out Front" port of the main cabinet service panel to "Power Sequencer In Front" port of the expansion cabinet patch panel.

17. Use the second serial cable to connect "Power Sequencer Out Rear" port of the main cabinet service panel to "Power Sequencer In Rear" port of the expansion cabinet patch panel.

18. If a second expansion cabinet is being added, use the two DB-9 Male-to-Female serial cables 530-3210-01 to connect the first expansion cabinet and the second expansion cabinet.

19. Before proceeding to steps 20 and 21 view the following cable illustration.

    a) View the lights out power management connections for the second expansion cabinet illustration.

20. Use the first serial cable to connect "Power Sequencer Out Front" port of the first expansion cabinet patch panel to "Power Sequencer In Front" port of the second expansion cabinet patch panel.

21. Use the second serial cable to connect "Power Sequencer Out Rear" port of the first expansion cabinet patch panel to "Power Sequencer In Rear" port of the second expansion cabinet patch panel.

22. The ethernet and remote lights out power management connections between the master cabinet and the expansion cabinet(s) are now complete.

23. The remaining datapath FC connections can now be completed to the DSP in the master cabinet.

24. Count the number of arrays in the new expansion cabinet. The expansion cabinet can have from one to six arrays (2 to 12 trays). The following steps assume that there is N (some number: 1 to 6) arrays in the newly added expansion cabinet.

25. If the first expansion cabinet is being added, take the first N SC (Storage) connections from the MTP to the SC cable inside the master cabinet, which is connected to "EXP1 A FC1" port on the I/O panel interior side.

    Note: These SC connections are labeled 1A/1B, 2A/2B, 3A/3B, 4A/4B, 5A/5B, 6A/6B using cable 537-1061-01.

26. Connect the other end of these cables to the master SE6020 controllers in the SE6020 arrays in the expansion rack through the inter-cabinet MTP cable (referenced in steps 5 & 6).

27. If the second expansion cabinet is being added, take the first N SC connections from the MTP to SC cable inside the master cabinet which is connected to "EXP2 B FC1" port on the I/O panel interior side.

    Note: These SC connections are labeled 1A/1B, 2A/2B, 3A/3B, 4A/4B, 5A/5B, 6A/6B using cable 537-1061-01.

28. Connect the other end of these cables to the master SE6020 controllers in the SE6020 arrays in the expansion rack through the inter-cabinet MTP cable (referenced in steps 9 & 10).

29. If this configuration has 2 SIO and 2 SRC cards, determine what ports are unused from the SIO cards in slots 3 and 4. These ports are to be used for the SC connections using cable 537-1061-01.

    If this configuration has 4 SIO and 4 SRC cards, determine what ports are unused from the SIO cards in slots 3 and 4 first. If all of the ports are populated, then go to the SIO cards in slots 1 and 2 for the first unused ports. These ports are to be used for the SC connections using cable 537-1061-01.

    Important: SIO card port connection notes.

    Note 1: Port locations start from right (1) to left (8).

    Note 2: Ports 1 through 4 are assigned to host connections and ports 5 through 8 are assigned to storage connections.

    Note 3: The odd number SIO cards are for the "A and C NPORT" host connections and the even number SIO cards are for the "B and D NPORT" host connections.

    Note 4: Storage ports will be populated in the following order: 8, 7, 6, 5 on cards in slots 3 and 4. If there are more then 8 controller pairs (14 maximum) then ports will be populated in the following order: 4, 3, 2, 1 on cards in slots 1 and 2 and then ports 4 and 3 back on cards 3 and 4.

    Note 5: Master controller (storage) connections are assigned to card slot locations 1 and 3 and alternate controller (storage) connections are assigned to card slot locations 2 and 4.

30. Connect the N SC connections selected in step 25 to the first N unused ports found as per the above order of ports. This completes the FC datapath connections for the master SE6020 controllers in the first expansion cabinet.

    b) View the SIO card port connections.

31. If you are adding the first expansion cabinet, then repeat step 25 for the "EXP1 A FC2" MTP to SC cable in the master cabinet.

32. If you are adding a second expansion cabinet, connect the N SC connections selected in step 27 to the first N unused ports as per the SIO card connection notes in step 29. This completes the FC datapath connections for the alternate master SE6020 controllers in the second expansion cabinet.

33. If you are adding a second expansion cabinet, then repeat step 27 for the "EXP2 B FC2" MTP to SC cable in the master cabinet.

34. Identify a name for each array in the newly added expansion cabinet(s).

    If you are adding the first expansion cabinet, then select the first N names from array10, array11, array12, array13, array14, array15. If you are adding a second expansion cabinet, then select the first N names from array20, array21, array22, array23, array24, array25.
