Preparing the rack (system or expansion)
Perform the following steps to prepare the rack (system or expansion):
1. Find the two support rails
5
that are supplied with the 2104 Model DS4. See
Figure 17 on page 2.
2. The 2104 Model DS4 is three Electronics Industries Association (EIA) units high.
Using the preinstallation planning information, or other relevant information,
determine where you are going to locate the 2104 Model DS4 in the rack.
Notes:
a. If you are installing the 2104 Model DS4 into an empty rack, install it into the
lowest available position so that the rack does not become unstable.
b. If you are installing more than one 2104 Model DS4 into the rack, start at
the lowest available position, and work upward.
c. You might need to remove the power distribution unit before you install the
support rails. See the installation and service guide, or equivalent, for the
rack.
3. Refer to the EIA markings on the rack and decide where you are going to install
the support rails. If appropriate, allow for possible future installation of other disk
enclosures.
4. Perform the following steps for each support rail:
a. Attach the nut clips
2
at the selected holes in the front of the rack. See
Figure 18. These nut clips must align with the upper and lower holes in the
support rail.
