Installing the enclosures
Following your enclosure location plan, install the control enclosure (and
optionally, one or more expansion enclosures).
About this task
CAUTION:
v To lift and install the enclosure into the rack requires at least two people.
v Load the rack from the bottom up to ensure rack stability. Empty the rack
from the top down.
Procedure
To install an enclosure, complete the following steps.
1.
On either side of the drive assemblies, remove the enclosure end caps by
grasping the handle and pulling the bottom of the end cap free, then clearing
the tab on the top of the enclosure.
2. Align the enclosure with the front of the rack cabinet.
3. Slide the enclosure into the rack along the rails until the enclosure is fully
inserted (see Figure 13).
Note: The rails are not designed to hold an enclosure that is partially inserted.
The enclosure must always be in a fully inserted position.
4. Secure the enclosure with a screw in the rack mounting screw hole.
