HASSIS
Steps to install the G10 chassis vary depending on the type of rack. Refer to the appropriate
section for your type of rack.

Four-Post Rack, Front Mount

Two-Post Rack, Mid Mount
G10 probes normally ship with blades and RTMs inserted into the chassis. If the blades and
RTMs shipped separately from the chassis, refer to
Appendix C for procedures for inserting
blades and RTMs.
Four-Post Rack, Front Mount
The G10 chassis must be securely mounted to the front of the four-post rack (also known as
flush mount). Brackets shipped with the G10 provide labels for installing in 30-inch, 36-inch,
42-inch, and 1000 four-post racks. Please note that these values reflect general rack/cabinet
sizes and do not represent specific distances.
The system is heavy and improper handling may lead to muscle strain or back injury.
Have two people lift the system or use lifting aids and proper lifting techniques when
handling the system. Do not use the PEM or Fan Tray handles to lift the chassis.
Step Action
1. Determine the location in the rack in which you will install the G10 chassis (see
Example Rack Installations ). Mark the location on the front and back of the rack
posts or note the height measurement of the rack label. This will enable you to
correctly align the front and rear brackets.
For IAP100/PRM100 RTM configurations, make sure to leave 1U of space below the
G10 to allow for SAS cabling from the SAS AMC on the font of the G10 to the back of
the controller enclosure(s).
2. Align the side brackets and secure them to the sides of the G10 chassis using
Phillips flat-head screws. Alignment varies per rack type:

30-inch rack (see Figure 2.1 )

36-inch rack (see Figure 2.2 )

1000 mm rack (see Figure 2.2 )

42-inch rack (see Figure 2.3 )
