Installing the Cabinet into a Rack
The InterRAID-8e cabinet requires 4 U vertical mounting space. One U equals 1.75 inches.
The Intergraph rack is designed to support the weight of the cabinet when fully loaded with
disk drives (weighing approximately 70 pounds). If installing the cabinet into a non-
Intergraph rack, ensure the rack can safety support the weight of the cabinet and drives.
To install the cabinet:
1. Attach the handle brackets to both sides of the InterRAID-8e cabinet. Use the eight
panhead screws (four for each bracket) supplied with the InterRAID-8e.
NOTE
The sides of the InterRAID-8e cabinet have different hole patterns to match the pattern in
each handle bracket.
2. Determine the 4 U space (12 holes) in which to install the InterRAID-8e cabinet. The
following figure shows where the mounting shelf and tinnerman nut must be installed in
a given 4 U space.
