OVERVIEW: The RAID Director is configured as a quad half-height or dual full-height RAID controller enclosure. Standard 5.25” full and half-height canister-style RAID controllers can be mounted in the RAID Director. Referring to Figure 1, the RAID Director front panel consists of 4 RAID controller mounting slots (with removable panels for unused slots) and power supply indicators/ reset switch. Referring to Figures 1 & 2, the RAID Director rear panel has an N+1 power supply, 2 cooling fans on either end, and a number of cutouts for controller cabling. These cutouts are available in DB-9, HSSDC, HD68, and VHDCI configurations. Contact your RAID, Inc. rep for details.
Figure 2: RAID Director Drawing, Featuring Rear Panel Options The RAID Director is equipped with dual redundant hot-swappable 300W power supplies. Although the RAID Director will operate with a single supply installed, operation with both supplies installed is recommended to realize the redundancy capabilities of the supply. Each power supply module comes equipped with its own power cord connector and ON/OFF switch. The power supply also comes equipped with individual power-good LED indicators located on the front panel. The RAID Director is also equipped with dual redundant hot-swappable fans. The fans are located on the rear of the chassis and are equipped with quick-disconnect connectors for ease of fan replacement.

ASSEMBLY:
AC power must be removed from the system before gaining entry into the chassis. Remove all AC power cords before attempting assembly or service. Also, observe anti-static precautions when handling any electronic equipment. Tool List: #1 Phillips Screwdriver
#2 Phillips Screwdriver
6/32 Nut Driver
RAID Controller Mounting Procedure 1)
Remove the top panel of the RAID Director by removing the screws securing the top panel to the chassis (removing the top panel will not void the warranty). Note: It is not necessary to remove the screws holding the two upper slot panels.
2)
3)
Pull the top cover back until the two upper slot covers clear the chassis. (Figure 3). Set the top cover aside.
Figure 3: RAID Director Internal View The RAID Director is symmetrical down the middle, so choose a slot for the RAID controller(s) and remove the appropriate controller mounting bracket by removing the 4 nuts holding the mount to the chassis.

4)
Place the RAID controller into the controller mounting bracket and secure it with the appropriate hardware. Remove the appropriate top and/or bottom slot cover by removing the two screws holding it in place (Figure 4).
Figure 4: Controller Mount 5)
Place the controller/ controller mount assembly back into the RAID Director and re-attach the 4 nuts removed in step 3. Cabling of the RAID controller may now proceed:

RAID Controller Cabling Procedure Power Cabling: 1)
The RAID Director has 8 DC power cables. Although the RAID Director can hold a maximum of 4 controllers (half-height), some full-height controllers have 4 DC power inputs. Select a power cable for each installed controller and plug it into the controller. NOTE: There are several Zip Ties in the RAID Director chassis; these are for cable dressing and should not be tied-off until all cabling is in place.
Data Cabling: 1)
The RAID Director has a number of data cable connector cutouts (FC, SCSI, or Serial) on the rear panel. Determine the type and number of cutouts needed and remove the appropriate cutout filler plate.
2)
Attach the appropriate data cable to the RAID controller and secure the opposite end to the rear panel with the appropriate hardware. NOTE: The connector cutouts on the rear panel are numbered for customer documentation purposes.

Optional BBU Battery Mounting Procedure 1) 2) 3)
Remove the battery mounting plate from the inside edge of the RAID Director chassis (6 screws). Mount the battery/batteries onto the mounting plate using the appropriate hardware (Figure 6). Replace the battery mount assembly in the RAID Director chassis (Figure 5).
The cabling may now be dressed using the provided Zip Ties (Figure 4).

OPERATION: The operation of the RAID Director is simple and straightforward: Power: 1)
With each power switch on the power supply turned off (0 position), plug the AC power cord (provided with the RAID Director) into each power supply module. Plug the other ends into an appropriate AC power source (such as a PDU). NOTE: The power supply is dual-redundant; it is advantageous to plug each power module in the power supply into a separate AC power source, e.g. plug one power cord into main power and the other into a UPS.
2) 3)
With AC power supplied to the power supply, turn each power switch on the power supply on (I position). The green LED on each power supply module should glow as well as the two front panel LED’s. In the event of a power supply module failure, the corresponding LED will extinguish on both the power supply and the front panel. Additionally, the power supply alarm buzzer will activate. To reset the buzzer, push the front panel RESET pushbutton. To replace the defective power supply module, turn the power switch off (0 position), remove the AC power cord, and remove the module. Replace the defective module, replace the AC power cord and turn the module on (I position). NOTE: The power supply modules are hot-swappable, meaning that power to the second module does not have to be turned off to replace the damaged module.

Fans: 1) 2) 3) 4)
The rear panel fans are hot-swappable. To replace a fan, remove the two screws (top and bottom) holding the fan assembly in place. Grasp the fan handle and pull the fan assembly out of the RAID Director chassis. Disconnect the fan connector and re-connect a new fan assembly. Mount the new fan assembly into the RAID Director and secure with the two screws removed in step 1.
