4.4 Installing the Chassis in the Cabinet
Refer to the Rackmount Placement Matrix for the correct order to install the chassis.
Caution –
The cabinet can become front-heavy while the chassis is being installed.
Unless your cabinet is bolted to the floor, ensure that the stabilizer legs are extended
before proceeding. Failure to extend the legs can result in the cabinet tipping
forward and injuring personnel.
Caution –
This installation 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).
1. With the aid of an assistant, lift the chassis (one person on each side) and
approach the expansion cabinet with the chassis back facing the cabinet.
2. Line up the chassis baseplate with the mating side rails in the cabinet (
FIGURE 4-6
).
