Attention:
When you slide the storage subsystem into the cabinet, verify
that the back of the DS5100 and DS5300 is secured by the hold-down clips
located at the back of each rail. With the M5 rail screws loosely threaded,
you can make minor adjustments to the rails to ensure that the subsystem
latches in the hold-down clips. The hold-down clips are shown in Figure 15
on page 41.
2. Secure the storage subsystem to the cabinet. Figure 17 shows how to secure
the DS5100 and DS5300 to the vertical members of the cabinet.
The following steps will help you safely secure the DS5100 and DS5300 in the
rack cabinet:
a. Align the front mounting holes on the storage subsystem flanges with the
mounting holes on the cabinet.
b. Using the 5/16 (8 mm) hex nut driver, insert one M5 screw into the hole on
each flange, and tighten the screws completely to secure the front of the
storage subsystem to the cabinet.
3. At the front and the rear of the rack cabinet, use the 5/16 (8 mm) hex nut driver
to finish tightening the other three M5 screws for each rail.
4. Continue with Chapter 3, “Cabling the storage subsystem,” on page 47.
