About this task
The 5U expansion enclosure and most parts are shipped together in one large box. A tray on the top of the
enclosure contains the front fascia (1U and 4U pieces), the cable management arm (CMA), and the slide
rail kit; you must install these parts. Figure 20 on page 29 shows how the enclosure is packaged for
shipment.

Other parts, such as the cover, secondary expander modules, and fans, are installed in the enclosure.
However, due to weight considerations, you must remove some parts and then reinstall them as part of
the initial installation process.
Note: Drives are not included in installation package for the enclosure; they are provided in a separate
package.
