NOTE:
Allow enough rack space above and/or below the node to mount the disk arrays. A disk array
requires a vertical rack space of 2U (equivalent to 89 mm, or 3.5 inches).
To install a VLS6600 node into the rack involves three main tasks:
1. Install Rails in the Rack
2. Attach Rails to the VLS6600 Node (appliance)
3. Install Appliance in the Rack
Install Rails in the Rack
To install the rails in the rack:
1. Locate the appropriate rail kit—part number 365517-B21.
2. Install the two slide rails in the rack.
a. Locate the slide rail with the words REAR LEFT and align it with the rear of the left side of
the rack as you face the front of the rack.
b. Adjust the slide rail assemblies to the approximate rack depth.
c. From the outside rear of the rack, insert the screws of the slide rail rear bracket into the
appropriate holes in the rack and pull the rail forward until the rear bracket of the rail snaps
into place.
