6. Repeat the process for the right inner rail, using the proper orientation.

7. Locate the CMA A bracket in the CMA shipping box, then orient it so you can see the part number etched on it.

8. Facing the rear of the storage enclosure, locate the two holes on the right side of the chassis, above the CMA shelf.

9. Attach the CMA A bracket so that the face of the bracket is flush against the mounting flange of the chassis.

10. Insert and tighten two (2) M4 Panhead screws with a #2 Phillips-head screwdriver to a torque of 12 lbf-in (1.36 N-m).

Install the storage enclosure

After you successfully complete the installation of the rackmount rail kit, you can mount the storage enclosure into the rack
cabinet.

WARNING!

Do not attempt to install the storage enclosure into the rack cabinet with drive modules preloaded in the

slots. Serious injury and damage could result. Unload any drive modules in storage enclosure slots to an static-protected area.
Do not further lighten the storage enclosure by removing other components.

Mount the storage enclosure into the rack cabinet

WARNING!

Serious injury and mechanical failure can result if you do not adhere to rack cabinet safety precautions.

l

To avoid risk of death or injury from tipping the rack, follow all rack installation guidelines, securing the rack cabinet to the
floor with a concrete anchor kit.

l

To avoid catastrophic failure of the rack assembly, never exceed rack cabinet weight limits.

l

Entirely support the storage enclosure with the mechanical lift until the storage enclosure is in the storage position.

l

Follow local occupational health and safety guidelines and meet all requirements for manual material handling.

Mounting the storage enclosure into the rack cabinet is the most critical of the installation procedures and requires your full
attention. Safety and hardware longevity depend on the smooth function of the rails and correct implementation of this task.

l

Make sure there is sufficient clearance for the storage enclosure when fully extended in the service position and for a
technician or system administrator.

l

Observe rack cabinet weight limits.

l

Fill the rack cabinet from the bottom to the top, with the heaviest equipment at the bottom.
