Quick Start Guide

Overview

This document describes how to unpack a SnapServer 
Expansion E2000 array from Overland Storage and 
install it into a four-post, 32-inch depth, EIA-310 rack. 

WARNING:  To reduce the risk of electric shock or damage 
to equipment, always remove any power cords while 

working with the unit.

AVERTISSEMENT:  pour réduire le risque de choc 
électrique ou endommagement de l'équipement, retirez 

toujours les cordons électriques en travaillant avec l'appareil.

CAUTION:  

While working with the unit, observe standard 

Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) precautions to prevent 

damage to micro-circuitry or static-sensitive devices.

Rack Installation

Before installing the disk drives, it is recommended that 
the unit first be secured in the rack.

WARNING:  Use care during rack installation or removal to 
prevent accidental tipping of the rack causing damage or 

personal injury.

AVERTISSEMENT:  soyez prudent lors de l'installation ou 
de l'enlèvement du support afin d'empêcher le 

renversement accidentel de la crémaillère, pour éviter 
dommages et blessures.

The rail kit included with the E2000 is adaptable for 
installation in the two major types of hardware racks: 
squared-holed and round-holed EIA-310 racks.

NOTE: A two-post telco-style rack or any rack that is less than 
29-inches in depth will not support this appliance. Also, for 
threaded-hole racks, Overland Storage recommends using a 
shelf.

The rails are not universal. They are stamped LH (left) 
and RH (right) and must be mounted on the appropriate 
side (when facing the rack front).

Attach Inner Rails to Chassis

This procedure is required for 

all rack types

:

1.

Mark the 

screw holes

 on the rack where the rails will 

be installed.

NOTE: Be sure rear holes are horizontally in line with the 
front holes to ensure the unit remains level.

2.

inner rail
