Before You Begin
Before you begin, please review the following warnings.
Be sure that power to the system is turned off and unplugged. All voltage is
removed only when the power cords are unplugged.
Avoid excessive vibration and shock. Dropping an electronic component can
cause serious damage.
Installing the Rail Assemblies to the Rack Cabinet
The following subsection describes how to install your rack-mount disk array unit into a
standard EIA 19-inch rack cabinet.
Before you begin select an appropriate location in your rack cabinet for the rack-mount
unit. To improve rack stability, mount heavier items towards the bottom of the rack
cabinet. If the rack is a stand-alone unit and the rack is more than 75% filled with
components, consider installing an optional stabilizer kit.
Note:
When planning your system configuration for the rack
cabinet you should consider the length of the cables that
interconnect system components.
Figure 2-3 shows how rail assemblies should be installed in the rack cabinet.
