12 IBM Netfinity FAStT500 RAID Controller Enclosure Unit Installation Guide
Preparing the controller unit
You will need an antistatic wrist strap and a cart or level surface (to hold the CRUs).
Use this procedure to prepare a controller unit for installation. These instructions assume
that you have completed all applicable site, rack cabinet, and drive enclosure preparations
discussed on pages
10 through 11 .
It is easier to lift the controller unit and install it in a rack if you remove all CRUs first. A
fully loaded controller unit with a controller fan, battery, fan and communications module,
two controllers, two power supplies, and 8 mini-hubs installed weighs 38.6 kg (85 lbs). If
you remove all the CRUs, you can reduce the overall weight.
To gain access to the CRUs, cables, indicator lights, and switches inside the controller
unit, you must remove the bezel.
Figure 7 shows how to remove the bezel.
Attention: Pulling the bezel out too far can damage the hooks at the top. To avoid
damaging the plastic hooks, place the controller unit on a flat surface. Be
sure the front of the controller unit extends approximately two inches beyond
the edge.
1 Carefully pull out the bottom of the bezel to release the pins; then slide down the bezel,
as shown in Figure 7 .

Note: To replace the bezel, slide the top edge under the lip on the chassis; then push the
bezel bottom until the pins snap into the mounting holes.
2 Check the contents of the shipping container (see the list of items on page 2 ).
The power cords attach the controller unit to the ac power sources inside the cabinet or
to an external power source.
