2.8. Installing the RAID Controller Module
To install the controller module, please follow these steps:
Step 1.
Hold the RAID controller unit by its edges
and insert it into the controller
bay. Push the unit in until it reaches the end of the controller bay. The guide
rails on the sides of the controller bay should make the plug-in process an
effort-less task. You should be able to feel the contact resistance of the
docking connector when pushing the controller inwards.
Step 2.
Pull the ejector handles outwards
and orient them to an angle of
approximately 15 degree relative to the controller rear panel. Carefully orient
them so that the notches on the handles can lock onto the protruded edge of
enclosure rail on the sides. This is crucial for the positive insertion of the
controller unit. (See
Figure 2- 2
)

Step 3.
Secure the controller module to the enclosure by fastening the hand screw.
Insert the retention screw on the right hand side of the ejector handle.

Mounting Considerations
♦
Minimum Depth
- The minimum depth required for installing the chassis is 500mm
plus an extra 50mm to be available to the back of the enclosure for proper ventilation
and cabling connection.
