4.1 Rackmount Placement
Rackmount placement information for the disk array, as well as other devices that
can be mounted in Sun system and expansion cabinets, is available on the Web at:
http://docs.sun.com
Click on “by Title,” and then open the Rackmount Placement Matrix document.
If you do not have access to the Web, contact your service provider.
Note –
Retrieve the placement information for the disk array before beginning the
installation.
4.2 Preparing the Disk Array
To install a tabletop version of the disk array in a rack, you must remove the side
panels and install a baseplate on the bottom of the chassis. Go to Section 4.3
“Installing the Rails” on page 4-7 if your disk array is already configured for cabinet
installation.
Caution –
This procedure requires two people to lift and move the disk array. Use
care to avoid injury. A disk array with a baseplate attached may weigh up to
130 pounds (59 kg).
