Storage System Detailed Installation
This section describes preparing and installing the enclosure(s) into the rack
cabinet or the enclosure into its tower stand (refer to “Installing the Enclosure
into the Tower Stand” on page 29.
After installing the hardware components, go to the “Operating Mode
Configuration and Cabling” section to to complete the enclosure cabling for your
selected topology.
Installing the Enclosure into the Rack Cabinet
1 Select an appropriate location within your rack cabinet.
Consider the location of the enclosures in relationship to each other and the
host server to ensure the cables will easily reach between them.
CAUTION: The power supplies should be removed prior to installing the
enclosure into the rack cabinet. The enclosure chassis could be
damaged during installation due to the added unbalanced weight
of the power supplies.
2 Remove the storage system from its shipping carton and inspect for obvious
damage.
Remove and open the accessory kit. Open the left and right flaps, and
remove the bezel and mounting rails.
Remove the drives from the foam tray, then remove the foam tray from the
box.
Lift the enclosure from the box. Remove the foam from around it and place
the enclosure on a flat surface.
3 Remove the power supplies.
Grasp the power supply handle and slide the release latch to the right with
your thumb as you pull the power supply from the enclosure. Repeat for the
second power supply, if installed.
