Instructions
Use this procedure to setup a Data Center cabinet and prepare to
install a rackmount command module. During this installation, you
must be able to access the interior of the cabinet in order to mount
hardware on the EIA rails, route power and interface cables, and set
switches on the command module and drive modules. As well, you
must have enough room around the outside of the cabinet to lift and
install the command module chassis into the cabinet.
1 Turn off the power.
If applicable, stop all I/O activity to the Data Center cabinet in which
you intend to install the command module. Turn off the power switches
on both AC distribution boxes in the cabinet.
2 Remove the panels from the Data Center cabinet ( Figure 1 ).
Remove the back panel from the cabinet. This will make it easier to
install the support rails and command module hardware. If there is a
blank panel on the front of the cabinet across the area where you intend
to install the command module, remove the blank panel. For more
information on removing and adjusting the blank panels on the Data
Center cabinet, refer to the blank panel kit instructions.
