Caution:
This step in the installation requires a minimum of 3 individuals to
install safely, two to lift and one to guide the others who may have difficulty
seeing because the enclosure is in the way. Ensure that the appropriate
measures are taken to safely support the enclosure during installation. The
enclosure MUST have no drives installed and requires a two person team
lift to install.
Do not attempt to lift the system if it is fully populated with
drives.
The only case in which the system may be installed or removed
with the drives populated is if the facility has a lift that is rated to handle the
maximum weight of the fully loaded system.
In preparation to perform a team lift, position one individual on each side of the enclosure
(to lift) and a third individual standing at the protruding rack rails (to guide the chassis to
mate with rack rails).
c.
Team-lift the enclosure until the inner rails (which are attached to the chassis) align with
the extended mid-rails (which are attached to the rack), and guide the inner rails on the
chassis to mate with the rack rails.
