12 Model 3040 40U Cabinet Installation
Removing the
Packing Material
After the cabinet has acclimated to the indoor temperature, refer to the unpacking
instructions included on the front of the shipping crate, and remove the packing
material.
Checking the
Shipping Contents
Compare the packing list against the equipment that you received to make sure that all
equipment arrived at the site. If any items are missing, contact your sales
representative.
Removing the
Components
It is recommended that you remove some of the heavier components that are located
in the top of the cabinet before you move the cabinet. Removing these components
makes sure of maximum stability and keeps the center of gravity as close to the floor
as possible while the cabinet is being moved.
After the cabinet is moved to its permanent location, you will reinstall these
components in the cabinet in their original locations. It is important, therefore, to note
each component’s location prior to removing it.
Refer to the initial setup guide for each tray, as required, to identify the components
and switch locations. Refer to the Hardware Cabling Guide, as required, for common
cabling configurations.
ATTENTION Possible address conflict of loss of data access – To prevent address
conflicts and loss of data access, note the location of each tray, component, and cable
prior to its removal so that you can reinstall each item in its original location.
Complete these steps to remove the components:
1. Record the cable configuration for future reassembly if any cables must be
disconnected.
2. Remove the drive trays and controller-drive trays in the top half of the cabinet.
Keep all of the components from the same tray together.
NOTE It is not necessary to remove the power supplies or other components from the
rear of each tray.
3. Place each component in a separate antistatic bag. If the original shipping boxes
are available, use them to transport the components.
Moving the
Cabinet
Shipping crates provide built-in ramps and instructions for rolling the cabinet off the
pallet without the use of a forklift. Refer to the unpacking instructions included on the
front of the shipping crate.
When you move a cabinet, you must be aware of all of the ramps between the loading
dock and the destination. You must evaluate all ramps to make sure that the cabinet’s
center of gravity (when the cabinet is on a ramp and sitting at an angle) does not
extend beyond the cabinet’s footprint.
