Installation

Rack requirements:

HP supports the HP System E racks and the
HP 10000 Series racks for use with the virtual
library system (VLS). Other racks might also be
suitable, but have not been tested with the VLS.

Caution:

Make sure that the rack and all

equipment mounted in the rack has a
reliable ground connection. Verify that the
total current of the rack components does
not exceed the current rating of the power
distribution unit or outlet receptacles.

Caution:

Parts can be damaged by

electrostatic discharge.  Keep parts in their
containers until needed.  Ensure that you
are properly grounded when touching 
static sensitive components.  

1

Inspect the box contents.
You will also need a
Phillips screwdriver.

Warning:

The MSA20 disk array

weighs 24 kg (53 lb) full. At least two
people are required to lift and rack mount
the disk array. 

Warning:

To reduce the risk of personal

injury or damage to the equipment, before
installing equipment be sure that:

The rack leveling jacks are extended to

the floor.

The full weight of the rack rests on the

leveling jacks.

The stabilizing feet are attached to the

rack if it is a single-rack installation.

The racks are coupled together in

multiple-rack installations.

Only one component is extended at a

time. A rack may become unstable if
more than one component is extended
for any reason.
