Gateway server (3958 DD5)

The gateway server is the main component of the TS7650G.

The gateway server provides the connections to the TSSC and the customer SAN network (for connection to the client hosts and virtual tape libraries). The server contains several components that are replaceable. These components are field-replaceable units (FRUs) that IBM® service technicians must replace.

Attention: After FRU replacement, the server attempts an automatic firmware update upon startup. Do not power off the server during this process. Powering off the server during a firmware update might result in system corruption or loss of data integrity.

Server rear view (VTL)

When configured for VTL, the 3958 DD5 servers are equipped with:

two Emulex Fibre Channel host bus adapters (HBA)
two QLogic Fibre Channel HBAs
one 1 gigabit (Gb) quad-port Ethernet adapter
two on-board Ethernet ports

See Figure 1 and Table 1.

Server rear view FSI

When configured for FSI, the 3958 DD5 servers are equipped with

one of the following Ethernet adapter configurations:
- If two instances of Feature Code 3456 are installed, three 1 Gb quad-port Ethernet adapters (Figure 2)
- If two instances of Feature Code 3457 are installed, two 10 Gb dual-port Ethernet adapters for use with Fibre Channel cabling and one 1 Gb quad-port Ethernet adapter (Figure 3)
two dual-port QLogic Fibre Channel HBAs
two on-board Ethernet ports.

Item	Description
1	Electrostatic discharge connector
2	DVD-eject pushbutton: Press this pushbutton to release a CD or DVD from the DVD drive.
3	DVD drive activity LED: When this LED is lit, it indicates that the DVD drive is in use.
4	USB connectors: Connect USB devices to these connectors.
5	Scalability LED
6	Operator information panel: This panel contains controls and LEDs.
7	Hard disk drive activity LED: On some server models, each hot-swap hard disk drive has an activity LED. When this LED is flashing, it indicates that the drive is in use.
8	Hard disk drive status LED: On some server models, each hot-swap hard disk drive has a status LED. When this LED is lit continuously, that individual drive is faulty. When the drive is connected to the integrated SAS controller with RAID capabilities, a flashing status LED indicates that the drive is a secondary drive in a mirrored pair and the drive is being synchronized.

The following illustration shows the controls and LEDs on the operator information panel.

Table 4 describes the LEDs and controls on the operator information panel.

Table 4. Operator information panel
Item	Description
1	Information LED: When this LED is lit, it indicates that there is a suboptimal condition in the server and that light path diagnostics will light an additional LED to help isolate the condition. This LED and LEDs on the light path diagnostics panel remain lit until you resolve the condition or you press the remind button.
2	System-error LED: When this LED is lit, it indicates that a system error has occurred. An LED on the light path diagnostics panel is also lit to help isolate the error.
3	Locator button/locator LED: Press this button to turn the locator LED on and off manually. In multi-node configurations, press this button to turn the locator LED on and off in all nodes in the configuration.
4	Ethernet port activity LEDs: When these LEDs flash, they indicate that there is activity between the server and the network on the indicated port.
5	Power control button cover: Slide this cover over the power-control button to prevent the server from being turned off accidentally.
6	Power control button/power-on LED: Press this button to turn the server on and off manually.
7	Ethernet icon LED: This LED lights the Ethernet icon.
