Installations of controller chassis in four-post racks
Installing the controller chassis and shelves
Verify the rack is in its permanent position and the placement allows for adequate clearance for airflow and
hardware maintenance using the steps described in the procedure,
“Site clearance requirements” on page 8
.
Note:
If you are installing the equipment in a non-NetApp system cabinet, you must calculate the thermal output of your equipment
and compare the results against the target system cabinet’s thermal rating. You may need to remove the system cabinet doors to
improve airflow through the system cabinet. See your system cabinet manufacturer’s guide for thermal rating information.
NetApp recommends using the NetApp kit for non-NetApp four-post racks that includes the following:
One set of left-side rails and one set of right-side rails for four-post mounting
Bagged screws in the following sizes:
–
16 M5-0.8 x 20 Pilot screws
–
16 M6-1 x 20 Pilot screws
–
16 10-32 x.75 Pilot screws
–
16 12-24 x.75 Pilot screws
Bagged clip nuts in the following sizes:
–
16 10-32 clip nuts
–
16 12-24 clip nuts
–
16 M5 clip nuts
–
16 M6 clip nuts
Clip nut tool
Note:
The vast majority of four-post racks use square hole EIA posts, in which case, you need only to match the screw and clip nut
threading. For prethreaded posts, the appropriate screw threading must be verified. Clip nuts are not used on these racks.
