2 Rack Mounting the Array
For proper operation, a PS Series storage array must be properly installed in a rack. This section
contains general electrostatic, safety, network, and installation information for PS Series arrays.
After installing the array in a rack, connect the power and network cables, as described in
Chapter 3 .
Before You Begin
Before installing the array:
• Register for a Dell™ EqualLogic® Customer Support Account. If you do not have a
customer service support account, go to
eqlsupport.dell.com and create one.
• Download and read the Release Notes from the Support Site. The PS Series Storage Arrays
Release Notes contain the latest product information.
• Read the installation safety precautions. See Installation Safety Precautions on page 3 .
• Make sure the rack meets the rack requirements. See Rack Requirements on page 3 .
• Make sure the array and installation location meet the environmental requirements. See
Environmental Requirements on page 4 .
• Unpack the rail kit (if ordered) and make sure you have all the necessary parts and tools.
The rail kit is located in the array shipping box. You must supply your own tools. See
Shipping Box Contents and Required Hardware on page 5 .
Installation Safety Precautions
Follow these safety precautions:
• Dell recommends that only individuals with rack-mounting experience install an array in a
rack.
• Make sure the array is fully grounded at all times to prevent damage from electrostatic
discharge.
• When handling the array hardware, you must use the electrostatic wrist guard shipped with
the array or a similar form of protection.
• You need at least two people to lift the array chassis from the shipping box.
Rack Requirements
The rack and the array installation must meet the following requirements:
• Use an industry-standard, EIA-310-D compliant, four-post 19-inch rack with universal
square hole or unthreaded round hole spacing.
• The rack is rated for 540 kg (1200 pounds) static load or greater.
• The minimum rack depth is 100 cm (40 inches) from the front of the rack to the rear of the
rack.
