Best practices for rack installation
Prepare for the hardware installation by following these recommendations.
■
The appliance requires two RUs of space. Install the appliance in the space that
is directly above the storage shelves.
■
Two people should install the rails; one person at the back of the rack and one
at the front.
■
Two people should lift and place the appliance into the mounted rails.
■
The storage shelves are heavier than the appliance and should be installed as
close to the bottom of the rack as possible.
■
Always install the heavier storage shelves at the bottom of the rack. Best
practices recommend that you install hardware at the bottom of a rack first. Then
work your way up the rack.
■
Determine device order and cabling limits.
■
Be aware of the depth of the guide rails and the devices. Ensure that the distance
between cabinet posts accommodates the rails, devices, cables, and extending
ears.
■
Physically hold a SAS3 cable between the intended locations for the appliance
and the last storage shelf. Visually confirm that the cable is long enough.
