Installing a system cabinet
You can order a system cabinet with NetApp storage controllers and disk shelves installed in it or an
empty system cabinet if you already have NetApp equipment. Several system cabinets can be
connected together by using the optional interconnect kit, and they can be anchored to the data center
floor by using the optional bolt-down kit.
Installing the cabinet interconnect kit
You can connect system cabinets together by using the optional cabinet interconnect kit. It is
recommended that you install the kit to prevent the cabinets from pulling apart and damaging system
cables.
Steps
1. Place the system cabinets close together.
The cabinets should be arranged similarly to the following illustration, with the cabinet with the
controller modules in the middle, and the cabinets with additional disk shelves on either side. The
sides of the cabinets should be close, but do not need to touch each other yet.
