Installing the Storage System Enclosure into the Rack Cabinet
1
Install the storage enclosure(s) into the rack cabinet.
Select an appropriate location within your rack cabinet. You should consider
the location of the enclosure(s) in relationship to each other to ensure that the
cables will easily reach between enclosures when installing multiple
enclosures.
CAUTION:
The power supplies should be removed prior to installing the
enclosure. The enclosure chassis could be damaged during
installation due to the added weight of the power supplies.
2
Remove each enclosure from its shipping carton and inspect for obvious
damage. Place the enclosure on a flat surface to work from.
3
Remove the front bezel from the accessory box and store it in a location
where it will not be damaged. It will be installed later in the installation
procedures.
4
Remove the power supplies.
From the rear of the enclosure, remove a power supply by grasping its
handle and pressing in on the release latch with your thumb as you pull the
power supply from the enclosure. Repeat for the other power supply.
5
Locate the mounting hardware in the accessory kit (mounting rails, screws,
and nuts – on some rack installations you will use cage nuts and on some
racks they will be standard nuts).
NOTE:
It will be helpful to have an assistant available during the installation.
6
Lift and secure the enclosure into the rack cabinet.
