The SX6 Extension blade is intended as an extension platform to support Fibre Channel, FICON, and IP based storage data flows. Extension features enable you to use the existing IP wide area network (WAN) infrastructure to connect Fibre Channel and IP fabrics. Extension features support applications such as remote data replication (RDR), centralized backup, and data migration over very long distances. Extension tunnels, built on a physical connection between two extension switches or blades, allow Fibre Channel and IP I/O to pass through the IP WAN. The SX6 Extension blade can connect with an SX6 blade in another DB400D or DB800D 32Gb FC SAN Director or with a Brocade 7840 Extension Switch.

The DB400D and DB800D 32Gb FC SAN Directors ship without cooling modules (fan assemblies); the cooling modules must be ordered together with the ThinkSystem DB400D and DB800D. Each cooling module has two integrated fans that provide non-port side air intake.

Two cooling modules are required for the ThinkSystem DB400D, and three cooling modules are required for the ThinkSystem DB800D. Cooling modules provide N + 1 fan redundancy (3 + 1 for the DB400D; 5 + 1 for the DB800D), and the device can continue operation while one fan assembly is replaced if the fan assembly is replaced immediately.

The following table lists the cooling modules for the DB400D and DB800D 32Gb FC SAN Directors.

The DB400D and DB800D 32Gb FC SAN Directors ship without power supplies; at least a minimum required quantity of the power supplies must be ordered together with the ThinkSystem DB400D and DB800D. Two power supplies are required for the ThinkSystem DB400D, and a minimum of three power supplies is required for the ThinkSystem DB800D. The forth power supply can be added to the ThinkSystem DB800D to provide additional power redundancy in certain configurations.

The power supplies are hot-swap 1450 W (100 - 120 V AC) / 2870 W (200 - 240 V AC), and each power supply has an IEC 320-C20 connector. Each power supply has two integrated fans that provide non-port side air intake that matches the airflow of the cooling modules.

* In most scenarios, it is recommended to have 4 power supplies installed in the DB800D due to typical dual-PDU configurations with redundant power sources.

The power supply redundancy depends on the blade and port configuration and the AC input voltage level, as shown in the following table.

The FC SAN directors come standard without power cords; up to four rack power cables or line cords should be ordered for the FC SAN Directors depending on the quantity of power supplies.

The following table lists power cords for the DB400D and DB800D 32Gb FC SAN Directors.

The DB400D and DB800D 32Gb FC SAN Directors come standard with the adjustable 27" to 31" rack mount kits that can be used for 4-post rack installations. The ThinkSystem DB400D also supports the optional Airflow Diversion Kits that allow to divert the airflow from the side air vent to the port side. In addition, the Lenovo DB800D supports 22" rack mount kit for specific racks.

If required, the Lenovo FC SAN Directors can be mounted in a 2-post rack cabinet by using the optional mid-mount rack kits.

The following table lists rack-mount options for the DB400D and DB800D 32Gb FC SAN Directors.

* 27-31" and 18-24" Airflow Diversion Kits are mutually exclusive. Only one of these kits should be ordered, depending on the depth of the rack cabinet.

The optional mid-mount rack kits for the DB400D and DB800D 32Gb FC SAN Directors are shown in the following figure.

Figure 10. ThinkSystem DB400D (Left) and DB800D (Right) Mid-mount Rack Kits

In addition, in order for the DB400D and DB800D 32Gb FC SAN Directors to meet FIPS 140-2 Level 2 Physical Security requirements the tamper-evident seals must be installed (see the following table for ordering information).

Examples of region-specific warranty terms are second or longer business day parts delivery or parts-only base warranty.

If warranty terms and conditions include onsite labor for repair or replacement of parts, Lenovo will dispatch a service technician to the customer site to perform the replacement. Onsite labor under base warranty is limited to labor for replacement of parts that have been determined to be field-replaceable units (FRUs). Parts that are determined to be customer-replaceable units (CRUs) do not include onsite labor under base warranty.

If warranty terms include parts-only base warranty, Lenovo is responsible for delivering only replacement parts that are under base warranty (including FRUs) that will be sent to a requested location for self-service. Parts-only service does not include a service technician being dispatched onsite. Parts must be changed at customer’s own cost and labor and defective parts must be returned following the instructions supplied with the spare parts.

Lenovo Services is a dedicated partner to your success. Our goal is to reduce your capital outlays, mitigate your IT risks, and accelerate your time to productivity.

Here’s a more in-depth look at what we can do for you:

• Asset Recovery Services

  Asset Recovery Services (ARS) helps customers recover the maximum value from their end-of-life equipment in a cost-effective and secure way. On top of simplifying the transition from old to new equipment, ARS mitigates environmental and data security risks associated with data center equipment disposal. Lenovo ARS is a cash-back solution for equipment based on its remaining market value, yielding maximum value from aging assets and lowering total cost of ownership for your customers. For more information, see the ARS page, https://lenovopress.com/lp1266-reduce-e-waste-and-grow-your-bottom-line-with-lenovo-ars.

• Assessment Services

  An Assessment helps solve your IT challenges through an onsite, multi-day session with a Lenovo technology expert. We perform a tools-based assessment which provides a comprehensive and thorough review of a company's environment and technology systems. In addition to the technology based functional requirements, the consultant also discusses and records the non-functional business requirements, challenges, and constraints. Assessments help organizations like yours, no matter how large or small, get a better return on your IT investment and overcome challenges in the ever-changing technology landscape.

• Design Services

  Professional Services consultants perform infrastructure design and implementation planning to support your strategy. The high-level architectures provided by the assessment service are turned into low level designs and wiring diagrams, which are reviewed and approved prior to implementation. The implementation plan will demonstrate an outcome-based proposal to provide business capabilities through infrastructure with a risk-mitigated project plan.

• Basic Hardware Installation

  Lenovo experts can seamlessly manage the physical installation of your server, storage, or networking hardware. Working at a time convenient for you (business hours or off shift), the technician will unpack and inspect the systems on your site, install options, mount in a rack cabinet, connect to power and network, check and update firmware to the latest levels, verify operation, and dispose of the packaging, allowing your team to focus on other priorities.

• Deployment Services

  When investing in new IT infrastructures, you need to ensure your business will see quick time to value with little to no disruption. Lenovo deployments are designed by development and engineering teams who know our Products & Solutions better than anyone else, and our technicians own the process from delivery to completion. Lenovo will conduct remote preparation and planning, configure & integrate systems, validate systems, verify and update appliance firmware, train on administrative tasks, and provide post-deployment documentation. Customer’s IT teams leverage our skills to enable IT staff to transform with higher level roles and tasks.

• Integration, Migration, and Expansion Services

  Move existing physical & virtual workloads easily, or determine technical requirements to support increased workloads while maximizing performance. Includes tuning, validation, and documenting ongoing run processes. Leverage migration assessment planning documents to perform necessary migrations.
