Appendix
C
Preparing an Enclosure for Use
The enclosure might arrive without some elements installed. Compaq recommends using
the assembly sequence in this appendix to ensure a safe and orderly installation process.
WARNING:
With a full complement of devices installed, the enclosure weighs
approximately 27.4 kg (60.6 lb). To prevent personal injury:
■
Always mount an empty enclosure into a rack prior to installing enclosure
devices.
■
Use two people to lift, align, and insert the enclosure into a rack.
This appendix identifies the recommended enclosure element installation and connection
sequence.
Initial Assembly Procedures
The actual procedures for removing and installing enclosure elements are described within
Chapter 8. Therefore, rather than repeating the installation procedures, the following
sections primarily address special assembly steps and considerations.
