Installing the DX-Series System

Figure 7 Rail Hole Pattern
Note:
The rails within the rack have a hole pattern that repeats
throughout the rail. X marks the screw positions. Install nut clips
(included in the accessory kit) on the rails if necessary.
Note:
Leave approximately 6 in. (15 cm) above the controller for access to
the fan modules and Fibre Channel HBAs in the controller.
Warning:
If the rack is empty at the time of installation, do NOT install
the DX-Series components too high in the rack. The combined
weight of the components may cause the rack to become “top
heavy” and unstable if installed in the top of an empty rack.
Begin installing the DX-Series components from the bottom of
the rack.
