IBM 5887, Manual

Page: 16 / 92

There are three parts in the bracket assembly that is used to stabilize the 5887 disk drive enclosure
during shipment of the rack that contains the enclosure. The bracket assembly consists of a large
bracket that attaches to the rack frame and two smaller brackets that secure the two enclosure
services manager (ESM) units.
Prerequisite: A medium size screwdriver is required to complete this task.
6. Ensure that you have the electrostatic discharge (ESD) wrist strap on and that the ESD clip is plugged
into a ground jack or connected to an unpainted metal surface. If not, do so now.
7. Clear the shipping bracket installation area of cables and cords by completing the following steps:
a. Find the slotted opening in the small front bracket (A) below the left enclosure services manager
(ESM) and loosen the power supply cord (B) that is visible in the opening.
b. Carefully pull up the power supply cord through the small front bracket opening.
c. After you remove the connector end of the power cord from the opening (C), hang the loose length
of cable to one side so that it does not interfere with your workspace in the shipping bracket
installation area.
d. Using the same technique, remove and hang the right power supply cord. Do not disconnect or
detach the power supply cords from their attachments to the rack or to other cables.
