Attention:
If you have not yet done so, record the serial number, machine type
and model number, and MAC addresses for your DS5100 and DS5300 in
Appendix B, “Records,” on page 223. The serial number, machine type, and model
number are located on top of each storage subsystem. The MAC addresses are
located near the Ethernet ports on each RAID controller, as shown in Figure 127 on
page 224.
Use the following procedure to install the DS5100 and DS5300 on support rails in a
rack cabinet. To mount a storage subsystem in the rack cabinet, all support rails
must be installed in their correct locations. If you need to install the rails, see
“Installing the support rails” on page 38.
CAUTION:
Never install components or other equipment in the top half of a rackmount
cabinet while the bottom half is empty. Doing so can cause the cabinet to
become top-heavy and to tip over. Always install hardware in the lowest
available position in the cabinet.
Before installing the storage subsystem in the cabinet, ensure that there are no
obstructions, either in the cabinet or outside the cabinet, that would make ready
removal and replacement of any of the components impossible. Check for
obstructions at the front and rear of the cabinet.
Operational Shock
The DS5100 and DS5300 withstands a free-fall drop from 0.5 inches onto a
hard surface. Subjecting the equipment to a single shock pulse with the
following characteristics will simulate this level of shock:
Velocity change = 20 inches per second ; Wave form = Triangular,25g
@3.75 ms
Operational Vibration (Sweep)
While in its normal operating position, the DS5100 and DS5300 continues
operating when subjected to the following vibration sweep. The test will
include a dwell time of 15 minutes at any frequency where vigorous or
resonant excitation occurs.
v
Frequency sweep = 5 Hz – 150 Hz – 5 Hz
v
Wave form = Sinusoidal, 0.25g
Note:
You should have at least two other people available to help you lift the unit
from the shipping box and into the rack cabinet
1. Remove the empty DS5100 and DS5300 from the shipping box and set the
storage subsystem in the cabinet. Figure 17 on page 45 shows the correct
orientation of the empty storage subsystem to the cabinet and support rail.
The following steps will help you safely install the DS5100 and DS5300 on the
support rails:
a. If you have installed a screw in the upper mounting hole at the front of each
support rail, remove the upper screws. These two screws are used later to
secure the front of the storage subsystem to the rack.
b. Move the empty storage subsystem from the shipping box and to the front of
the cabinet.
c. With help from another person, place the back of the storage subsystem on
the support rails, and then slide the storage subsystem into the cabinet.
