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.
