The Teradata Managed Server cabinet can be configured to include BAR storage chassis from different vendors.
For configuring a Teradata Managed Server cabinet with Teradata chassis and BAR storage chassis from different vendors, see Cabinet Conventions for Multiple-Purpose Cabinets.

The placement of the hardware components in a cabinet with only BAR storage chassis follows these general cabinet build conventions:

  • Each chassis has a standard position in the cabinet, and is numbered from the bottom up, except where noted in the general build sequence below.
  • Chassis that are managed over the server management network have assigned chassis ID numbers. The chassis ID number identifies the chassis by position/type in the server management interface.
  • Unmanaged chassis are numbered by position for cabling purposes only. The numbers do not appear in the management interface as identification of the chassis.
  • Ethernet switches are loaded and accessible only from the rear of the cabinet. All other chassis are loaded from the front of the cabinet, and accessible from both front and rear.

The space allocation and build order in the cabinet is as follows:

  1. If Oracle SL500 base chassis are to be added, install them top-down in U29-36, U21-28, U13-20, U5-12, or U25-32, U17-24, and U9-16.
  2. If Oracle SL500 expansion chassis are to be added, install them top-down in U29-36, U21-28, U13-20, U5-12, or U25-32, U17-24, and U9-16.
    The Oracle SL500 has a mechanical arm that moves up and down. Therefore, the base and expansion units must always be adjacent to each other.
  3. If a Quantum i500 base chassis is to be added, install it in U30-34.
  4. If Quantum i500 expansion chassis are to be added, install them top-down in U21-29 and U12-20.
    The Quantum i500 has a mechanical arm that moves up and down. Therefore, the base and expansion units must always be adjacent to each other.
  5. If Quantum i80 chassis are to be added, install them bottom-up in U5-10, U13-18, U21-26, U29-34, or U9-14, U17-22, and U25-30.
  6. If SKM/OKM encryption servers are to be added, install them bottom-up in U5, U9, U13, U17, U21, U25, U29, and U31.
  7. If Data Domain 890 and ES30 chassis are to be added, install them bottom-up:
    • DD890 in U5-6, U9-10, U13-14, U17-18, U21-22, U25-26, U29-30, U31-32
    • ES30 in U5-7, U9-11, U13-15, U17-19, U21-23, U25-27, U29-31

    Exception: If there is one DD890 with six ES30s, install the DD890 in U29-30 and all ES30s top-down in U5-7, U9-11, U13-15, U17-19, U21-23, and U25-27.

  8. If Data Domain 4200 and ES30 chassis are included, install them bottom-up:
    • DD4200: U5-8, U9-12, U13-16, U17-20, U21-24, U25-28, U29-32
    • ES30: U5-7, U9-11, U13-15, U17-19, U21-23, U25-27, U29-31
  9. If Data Domain 7200 and ES30 chassis are included, install them bottom-up:
    • DD7200: U5-8, U9-12, U13-16, U17-20, U21-24, U25-28, U29-32
    • ES30: U5-7, U9-11, U13-15, U17-19, U21-23, U25-27, U29-31
