Installing the DXi6900-S Node
WARNING:
The DXi6900-S Node (including solid state drives) weighs 44.5 pounds (20.2 kg). A
minimum of two people are required to lift the chassis.
Caution:
Before proceeding, ensure that all hard drive latches are completely closed. Quantum
recommends that you do not remove the hard drives from the chassis. If they have been removed for
any reason during or after the installation, you must install the hard drives in the same position in which
they were removed.
1. Pull the inner slide rails out of the rack until they lock into place (see Figure 17 on the next page).
2. Locate the rear rail standoff on each side of the system and lower them into the rear J-slots on the slide
assemblies.
3. Rotate the system downward until all the rail standoffs are seated in the J-slots.
4. Push the system inward until the lock levers click into place.
5. Press the slide-release lock buttons on both rails and slide the system into the rack.
Note:
To remove the Node, locate the lock levers on the sides of the inner rails. Unlock each lever by
rotating it up to its release position. Grasp the sides of the system firmly and pull it forward until the rail
standoffs are at the front of the J-slots. Lift the system up and away from the rack and place it on a level
surface.
