Page: 45 / 204

Attention:
a.
Because of the size and weight of the storage enclosure as shipped, you
require three people to push the enclosure out of its custom-designed
package. You can also use a lift tool and place the enclosure onto the lift
tool. Alternatively, you can reduce the weight of the storage enclosure and
then push the enclosure out of the package, as follows:
v Remove two power supplies and ensure that the hard disk drive drawers
are empty; then, two people can lift the storage enclosure.
v
Ensure that the hard disk drive drawers are empty. Remove two power
supplies, two fan assemblies, two controllers or environmental services
modules, and a minimum of three of the five unpopulated hard disk
drive drawers; then, two people can lift the storage enclosure.
See “Weight” on page 17 to know the weight of each component.
b.
Before you move or relocate a rack that contains DCS3860 storage
enclosures, see “Relocating the DCS3860” on page 52 for additional
information.
Note: For more information about how to use a lift tool, see the documentation
that came with the lift tool.
3. Remove the storage enclosure from its shipping container and check the
contents (see “Unpacking the shipping box”). If any items are missing, contact
your IBM reseller before you proceed with installation.
4. Verify that you have the correct version of the IBM DS Storage Manager
software.
5.
Continue with “Preparing the site” on page 29.
Unpacking the shipping box
Important: You must install the support rails in the rack cabinet before you install
the storage enclosure. Hence, do not remove the storage enclosure from the
shipping box until the support rails are installed.
1. Remove the following items from the shipping box. Do not remove the
DCS3860 from the shipping box at this time.
v
Six full or empty boxes of DDMs (if you have ordered DDMs, and also
ordered DDMs to be included in the shipping box. You can also order the
DDMs to be shipped separately.)
Note: The DDMs are packaged 10 per box. The minimum order is 20 DDMs,
so at least two of the boxes are full. If you ordered less than the maximum
number of 60 DDMs, one or more of the boxes will be empty.
v
Box containing the mounting hardware kit
v Box containing storage enclosure handles
v
Box containing the power cords and documentation
2. Check the items in the preceding list to ensure that you have received all the
necessary parts. See the “Inventory list” for the parts that are included with the
storage enclosure.
