Mounting the Equipment
The DR365V-HA appliance is comprised of at least two StoneFly hyperconverged SCs and one
HA RAID Storage Expansion Array. Depending on which model you purchased, the
interconnects between the SCs and the HA RAID Storage Expansion Array will be either SAS or
FC. The SAS cables connecting the SCs with the HA RAID Storage Expansion Arrays and
optional HA Expansion Units are short. When mounting the units, you should make sure that the
units are rack mounted close to each other.
The following installation process describes how you can mount two 1U SC appliances and a
standard 2U HA RAID Storage Expansion Array.
To ensure proper installation and functionality of the StoneFly appliance, please observe the
following warnings:
•
Wear an anti-static wristband before and during the installation procedure.
•
It is recommended to plug the system into two different power sources (eg. into a power
outlet and another into a UPS).
•
Ensure the rack which the enclosure will be mounted onto has proper grounding and
over-current protection.
•
Do not obstruct ventilation openings; provide 20cm of free space at the front and back of
the enclosure for air circulation; keep the ambient temperature below 35 degrees Celsius.

1U Storage Concentrator Rack Installation Instructions
This section provides information on installing the 1U Hyperconverged Storage Concentrator
appliance(s) into a rack or cabinet with the rails provided. There are a variety of rack/cabinet
units on the market, which may mean that the assembly procedure will differ slightly. You
should also refer to the installation instructions that came with the rack unit you are using.
NOTE:
This rail will fit a rack/cabinet between 25.6" and 33" deep.
Identifying the Sections of the Rack Rails
The StoneFly appliance chassis package includes two sets of rack rails, one set for the right side
of the chassis and one for the left. Each set consists of an inner rail that is pre-attached to the
chassis, an outer rail that attaches to the rack, and a middle rail that slides forward in the outer
rail.
