44 User Manual
Chapter 3 Getting Started with the Subsystem
This chapter contains information about the steps needed to start using the subsystem.
If the subsystem will be installed in a rackmount cabinet, follow the steps in Section 3.1,
otherwise, proceed with Section 3.2.
3.1 Installing the Rails and Mounting into Rack
NOTE: At least two persons are needed to lift the subsystem. To
reduce the weight of the subsystem, remove the 2 power supply
modules from the rear of subsystem. If disk drives are already
installed in the disk trays, remove also the disk trays. Refer to
appropriate sections on how to remove the power supply modules
and how to remove the disk trays/disk drives.
NOTE: The subsystem must be installed near the Disk Array or host
system where it will be connected. A Phillips screwdriver is needed
in installation.
WARNING! It is prohibited to put other enclosures/subsystems on
top of the 42-bay subsystem because the total weight will not be
supported by the rails.
Steps:
1. Open the rail box.
2. Remove the 2 rail assemblies and the screws/accessories from the box. Check
its contents.
