Installing the enclosures
Following your enclosure location plan, install each control enclosure and, optionally, one or more expansion
enclosures.
The installation procedure applies equally to control enclosures and expansion enclosures, but there are
some important differences to note.
• Lifting a control enclosure requires at least three people.
• Lifting an expansion enclosure requires at least two people.
• Each control enclosure must only be installed on the control enclosure rails provided with the enclosure.
• Each expansion enclosure must only be installed on the expansion enclosure rails provided with the
enclosure.
CAUTION:
• To lift a control enclosure with drives installed requires at least three people.
• Install a control enclosure only onto the control enclosure rails supplied with the enclosure.
• Install an expansion enclosure only onto the expansion enclosure rails supplied with the enclosure.
• Load the rack from the bottom up to ensure rack stability. Empty the rack from the top down.
To install an enclosure, complete the following steps.
Step 1. On either side of the drive assemblies, remove the enclosure end caps by grasping the handle and
pulling the bottom of the end cap free, then clearing the tab on the top of the enclosure.(See Figure
