3.

Using the 

screws

 from the kit, secure the 

front

 of the 

rail to the rack.

4.

Slide the 

rear rail segment 

rearward until the 

rear

 

adaptor holes are in line with holes being used.

5.

Using the 

screws

 from the kit, secure the 

rear

 of the 

rail to the rack.

6.

Repeat 

Steps 1–5

 for the 

right rail

.

7.

Verify that the 

rails

 are level and straight.

Continue the installation with 

“Install the Unit in the 

Rack.”

Install the Unit in the Rack

WARNING:  It is recommended that a mechanical lifter (or 
at least two people) be used during rack installation or 

removal to prevent injury.

AVERTISSEMENT:  pour éviter toute blessure il est 
recommande qu'un monte-charge (ou deux personnes 

au moins) soit utilisé lors de l'installation ou de l'enlèvement 
du support.

1.

At the front, extend the 

middle

 rail members until 

they lock (click).

2.

Confirm that the ball-bearing 

shuttles

 are at the 

front

 (

Figure 9

).

3.

Using a mechanical lifter or two people, insert the 

appliance

 into the rack 

rails

.

Lift the appliance to its install height and engage the 

inner members

 on the appliance with the middle 

members protruding from the rack, and slide the 
appliance into the rack until it stops.

4.

Slide the 

unit

 in and out a few times to ensure that 

the expansion array does not bind.
If binding occurs, verify that the front and rear flanges 
are mounted in the correct holes, readjusting the slide 
positioning as necessary.

5.

Using the 

two

 

screws

 provided, secure the expansion 

array flanges to the rack (

Figure 10

).

Disk Drives

The S2000 comes without disk drives installed (they are 
sold separately in singles and 4-packs). A combination of 
4 to 12 SAS and/or SATA drives can be installed with 
blank drive carriers filling in the empty slots.

Recommended Drive Configurations

Before installing or adding drives to a SAN S2000 server, 
the following must be observed:

Different capacity drives can be installed; however, 
they should not be included in the same RAID array, 
because capacity usage for all drives in the RAID is 
limited to the capacity of the smallest drive member. 

Drives of different rotational speed (such as, SAS and 
SATA drives) can be installed (

Figure 11

), but they 

should not be installed in the same column or be 
separated from each other by a column of different 
rotational speed drives (

Figure 12

). If you are 

combining drives with different speeds, use the figures 
below to plan where to place the disk drives.

Do not include drives with 
different RPMs in the 
same column.
