Sun StorEdge T3 Disk Tray Installation, Operation, and Service Manual • July 2000

Caution –

Use two people to lift the disk tray to avoid injury. It can weigh up to 67

pounds (30 kg).

1. Place the Sun StorEdge T3 disk tray horizontally in the designated location.

Caution –

Do not place the disk tray in a vertical position.

2. If you are installing a second disk tray, stack it on top of the first disk tray or

place it next to the first one.

The second disk tray is the alternate master unit. The first disk tray, or the bottom
disk tray in the stack, is the master unit.

Caution –

Do not stack more than two disk trays together. Stacking more than two

disk trays could damage them.

You are now ready to begin cabling. Proceed to Section 2.5 “Connecting the Cables”
on page 2-17 for cabling instructions.

2.4.2

Cabinet Installation

Note –

Refer to your product announcement literature from your Sun sales

representative to determine if mounting the disk tray in a cabinet is an available
option at this time.

You can install the disk tray unit in either a server cabinet or an expansion cabinet. If
you are installing a partner group, the master unit must be installed at the first
empty slot at the bottom of the cabinet, and the alternate master unit must be
installed in the next slot on top.

Rackmount placement information for the disk tray, as well as for other devices that
can be mounted in Sun cabinets, is available on the Web at:

http://docs.sun.com

Click on “Storage” in the Hardware section, and then open the Rackmount Placement
Matrix document.

If you do not have access to the Web, contact your service provider.
