G600 hardware overview Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform G400, G600 are modular, rack-mountable, all-flash arrays that deliver high performance, high reliability, and flash- accelerated scalability. The storage system contain dual controllers, each controller contains its own processor, dual in-line cache memory modules (DIMMs), cache flash memory (CFM), battery, fans and iSCSI and Fibre Channel I/O modules. Each controller also has an Ethernet connection for out-of-band management. If the data path through one controller fails, all data drives remain available to data hosts using a redundant data path through the other controller. The storage system can be equipped with embedded network-attached storage (NAS) modules. The NAS modules provide file access through CIFS and NFS protocols and block access by using iSCSI protocols. All storage system models allow defective drives to be replaced without the interruption of data availability to hosts. A hot spare drive can be configured to replace a failed drive automatically, securing the fault-tolerant integrity of the logical drives. Self-contained, hardware-based RAID logical drives provide maximum performance in compact external enclosures. Essential hardware components are implemented with a redundant configuration so that the storage system can remain operational if a component fails. Adding and replacing components, along with firmware upgrades, can be conducted while the storage system is active. □ Block configuration □ Unified configuration □ VSP G400 model □ VSP G600 model Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform G400, G600 hardware overview 13 Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform G400, G600 Hardware Reference Guide

• When bundling cables, do not pinch or constrict the cables. • Do not use zip ties to bundle cables. Instead, use Velcro hook-and-loop ties that do not have hard edges and which you can remove without cutting. • Never bundle network cables with power cables. If network and power cables are not bundled separately, electromagnetic interference (EMI) can affect your data stream. • If you run cables from overhead supports or from below a raised floor, include vertical distances when calculating necessary cable lengths. • If you use overhead cable supports: ○ Verify that your supports are anchored adequately to withstand the weight of bundled cables. ○ Gravity can stretch and damage cables over time. Therefore, do not allow cables to sag through gaps in your supports. ○ Place drop points in your supports that permit cables to reach racks without bending or pulling. Cabling full-width modules When cabling full-width modules, such as NAS modules as shown in the following figure, route the cables horizontally, so that they do not interfere when replacing a module. 96 Data and power cables Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform G400, G600 Hardware Reference Guide

Bundled cables can obstruct the movement of conditioned air around your storage system. • Secure cables away from fans. • Keep cables away from the intake holes at the front of the storage system. • Use flooring seals or grommets to keep conditioned air from escaping through cable holes. Preparing for future maintenance Design your cable infrastructure to accommodate future work on the storage system. Give thought to future tasks that will be performed on the storage system, such as locating specific pathways or connections, isolating a fault, or adding or removing components. • Purchase colored cables or apply colored tags. • Label both ends of every cable to denote the port to which it connects. AC power cables Utility AC power standards for connector types and voltage levels vary by country. Hitachi provides a variety of power cables that facilitate using storage systems around the world. Hitachi power cables meet the safety standards for the country for which they are intended. Power cable assemblies For information about racks and power distribution units (PDUs), refer to the Hitachi Universal V2 Rack Reference Guide. Hitachi power cables consist of three parts: • Plug: Male connector for insertion into the AC outlet providing power. The physical design and layout of the plug's contact meet a specific standard. • Cord: Main section of insulated wires of varying length, whose thickness is determined by its current rating. • Receptacle: Female connector to which the equipment attaches. The physical design and layout of the receptacle's contacts meet a specific standard. Common standards are the IEC C13 receptacle for loads up to 10 amperes (A) and the IEC C19 receptacle for loads up to 15 A.

Input rating Reference standards AS-3112 200V-240V 6 AS C112 Power cable usage guidelines Hitachi storage systems are intended for rack installation and ship with power cords. Installation and service requirements may require additional cords and cables to be ordered. The type of power cable required by a given installation is determined primarily by the: • Type of AC line feed provided by the facility. • Type of AC source (wall outlet or modular and monitored PDU) to be used. • Serviceability of components to be connected. Storage systems require a country-specific power cable for direct connection to a facility AC feed. Storage systems are designed to allow replacement of hot-pluggable components without removing the chassis from the rack. As a result, power cables can be short because cable movement is of minimal consideration. Three-phase power considerations for racks Increasing power requirements for racks are making the use of three-phase power at the rack level compelling. • With single-phase power, at any given time the voltage across the hot and neutral conductors can be anywhere between its peak (maximum) and zero. Electrical conductors must be large to meet high amperage requirements. • Three-phase power uses three cycles that are 120 degrees out of phase, which never allows the voltage to drop to zero. The more consistent voltage derived from the three hot conductors results in smoother current flow and allows small-gauge conductors to be used to distribute the same amount of AC power. As a result, the load balancing and increased power 100 Data and power cables Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform G400, G600 Hardware Reference Guide
