Safety information2.12Ambient and environmental conditionsWARNINGObserve environmental conditionsIf the following conditions for system installation are not observed, approvals in accordancewith UL 60950-1 and EN 60950-1 are rendered void and there is a risk of overheating andpersonal injury.When you plan your project, you should make allowances for: Climatic and mechanical environmental conditions defined in the "General technical data"chapter of the operating instructions. Avoid extreme ambient conditions as far as possible. Protect your device against dust,moisture and heat. This device was designed for use in a normal industrial environment. SIMATIC Rack PCsmay not be operated in severe environments which are subject to caustic vapors orgases without taking additional protective measures (such as the provision of clean air.) Do not expose the device to direct sunlight. Install the device in such a way that it poses no danger, for example, by falling over. Ensure that the installation opening for the device is splash-proof in areas which may besubject to splash water. Ensure there is sufficient volume for air circulation and heat transport so that the device isadequately ventilated. Do not cover the ventilation slots of the enclosure. A clearance of at least 5 cm must bemaintained at the back of the device, depending on the cabling. Do not allow the maximum air intake temperature directly in front of the air intake openingto exceed 35 C. The maximum air intake temperature must be taken into considerationin particular when sizing enclosed control cabinets. The device meets requirements for fire protection housings to EN 60950-1 and can beinstalled without additional fire protection enclosure. The connected or built-in peripherals should not introduce a counter emf in excess of0.5 V into the device.See alsoGeneral specifications (Page 35)SIMATIC IPC647D/847D Hardware RAID ConfigurationCompact Operating Instructions, 08/2014, A5E34655907-AA13

Safety information2.2 Access protection2.2Access protectionCAUTIONProtection against access by unauthorized personsAn unauthorized user can operate the device incorrectly and bypass logon by restarting thedevice.Operator actions by unauthorized persons jeopardize operational reliability.Take the following safety precautions: Lock the front door and the removable drive bay. Do not use keyboards with an on/off button (Power button). If the device has a on/off button, assign the parameters of the function of the on/offbutton to meet your requirements under Windows. You can find the settings in the"Power Options" menu.SIMATIC IPC647D/847D Hardware RAID Configuration14Compact Operating Instructions, 08/2014, A5E34655907-AA

Commissioning the device3.13Information on commissioningGeneral information on commissioning can be found in section 4 "Commissioning thedevice" of the Operating Instructions for the devices.Requirements for Adaptec Storage Manager softwareThe following requirements must be met before you use the software for the first time duringcommissioning: 4 GB main memory The operating system is restarted. The operating system is password-protected. Login and password of the operating system and Storage Manager software are thesame.3.2RAID systemSAS Hardware RAID adapter card with own CPU and cache memory: For applications with stringent requirements regarding negligible system effects of theRAID system. With maintenance-free battery backup for high data reliability. The RAID controller with PCIe x8 interface occupies one PCIe x16 expansion slot of thedevice.The adjacent slot must remain free, and a perforated slot bracket must be mounted toensure cooling.SIMATIC IPC647D/847D Hardware RAID ConfigurationCompact Operating Instructions, 08/2014, A5E34655907-AA15

Commissioning the device3.3 SAS Hardware RAID system3.3SAS Hardware RAID systemThe system is configured as RAID1 or RAID5 (only for IPC 847D). The data backup takesplace on two or three SAS hard disks. As a result, the system is able to continue operation inthe event of a defective hard disk or port connection problems, thereby achieving highavailability. An optionally available hot-spare drive (only for IPC847D) can further increasethe availability of the system.①②Connection for the SAS data cableConnection for Zero Maintenance Module (ZMM)SIMATIC IPC647D/847D Hardware RAID Configuration16Compact Operating Instructions, 08/2014, A5E34655907-AA

Commissioning the device3.3 SAS Hardware RAID systemAdditional software and documentationThe following software documentation can be found in the "Drivers\RAID\Adaptec" directoryof the "Documentation and Drivers" DVD that ships with the product: Adaptec RAID Controller Quick Start GuideThe PDF file describes how you install the RAID controller and create a bootable RAID1or RAID5 array. It also describes how you install the operating system and the controllerdriver on the array. Adaptec RAID Controller Installation and User ManualThe PDF file contains comprehensive information on installation and configuration of theRAID adapter card and the connected devices. Adaptec maxView Storage Manager User ManualThe PDF file contains comprehensive information on installation and use of AdaptecmaxView Storage Manager. Command Line Utility User GuideThe PDF file contains the user manual for the command line utility program andcomprehensive information on the use of ARCCONF.RAID system management functionsThe RAID system is fully set up ex works. The installed SIMATIC diagnostic software is usedto display the status of the RAID system. Additional software is not required.However, if necessary, you can install additional software from the supplied Documentationand Drivers DVD, which also contains the associated software description. In order to usethe software, the operating system must be password-protected. The password must beassigned before the software is installed. In a correct installation, the operating systempassword and RAID software password are the same.NoteThe status of the RAID system is indicated by the SIMATIC diagnostic software.A hard disk can be synchronized at operating system level if a fault is detected. It may take avery long time to synchronize a new hard disk in the background, depending on the size ofthe hard disk and on the system load. It may take several hours or even days in the case ofextremely high hard disk load. Guide value for the duration: 3 h with 90% HDD systemload and RAID5 with HDD 1 TB.The safe system states RAID Level 1 or 5 are only reached once synchronization has beensuccessfully completed. In addition, system performance may be limited in the case of amanually started Fix & Verify operation until completion of the verify phase.SIMATIC IPC647D/847D Hardware RAID Configuration18Compact Operating Instructions, 08/2014, A5E34655907-AA

Commissioning the device3.3 SAS Hardware RAID systemNoteManagement of the RAID systemWhen setting up the RAID system, set the write cache of the RAID controller as follows (seethe additional documentation of Adaptec): Write Caching - Enable with Backup Unit create RAID via: Build/VerifyPassword protection for Hardware RAID setupIn order to prevent access to the Adaptec Option ROM, follow these steps: Set the supervisor password in the BIOS setup, "Security Set Supervisor Password"menu. Disable the keyboard operation during the BIOS self test (POST) in the BIOS setup,"Security Option ROM keyboard" menu.Comments about faultsNoteThe data is synchronized in the case of a hard disk failure. The system response may bedelayed depending on the processor and hard disk loads. In extreme cases, the execution ofkeyboard, mouse or touch screen commands may be briefly delayed.The result may be faulty operations of the machine or plant. Do not operate any safety-relevant functions during a hard disk failure. Always replace the defective drive with a new one of the same type and capacity.Replacing a faulty RAID system driveReplace the faulty drive with a new drive of the same type and capacity to return to the safeRAID1 or RAID5 state after a fault.The diagnostic software indicates the following: A defective drive Details of the functioning hard diskThe defective hard disk is displayed with port number.NoteDeviating figuresThe following figures and notes apply only to the delivery state of the device without anychanges or expansions.SIMATIC IPC647D/847D Hardware RAID ConfigurationCompact Operating Instructions, 08/2014, A5E34655907-AA19
