Mounting the RAID and Disk Expansion Enclosures
The support rails used with an industry-standard rack are not the same as those used in the SGI
NAS racks. The support rails available with the RAID/disk expansion enclosures are designed for
use in an industry-standard rack but may not fit all models. RAID/disk expansion enclosures are
always installed below the data manager in the rack.
The following procedures and figures explain how to install the RAID/disk expansion support
rails into an industry-standard rack.
1.
Make sure that the rack is in the final (operating) location and that it meets the following
clearance requirements:
–
76-cm (30-in) clearance in front of the cabinet
–
61-cm (24-in) clearance behind the cabinet
2.
Lower the stabilization feet on the rack so it does not move. Use any anti-tip extensions or
other stabilization hardware available with the rack.
3.
Remove the RAID/disk expansion enclosure and all contents from the shipping carton.
4.
Position and secure the support rails in the rack using the information in Figure 1-18 on
page 22.
Note:
If you are installing the rails below an existing disk enclosure or the data manager, allow
8.8-cm (3.5-in.) vertical clearance for the new RAID/ disk expansion enclosure.
