Part Number 83-00007769-10-01, D • December 2021

Complete installation prerequisites

The rackmount rails are designed to bear the maximum weight of the storage enclosure when it is properly mounted in a
standard rack cabinet. You can install multiple storage enclosures in a single rack cabinet.

CAUTION

You must use only the supplied rail kit and related mounting hardware.

To complete installation prerequisites:

1. Prepare the host system for the installation by obtaining access to the following items:

a. A functioning host bus adapter

b. Known good cables for host connection that meet storage enclosure requirements

c. The provided right-angle power cords that meet power supply unit specifications

2. Familiarize yourself with system configuration requirements and the layout of storage enclosure modules.

3. Obtain the following:

a. An anti-static wrist or ankle strap for handling static-sensitive components

b. A static-protected environment for temporary storage of the storage enclosure and the drive modules

c. A T10 screwdriver, 6-in length, and #2 Phillips-head magnetic screwdrivers, 6- and 12-in length

d. A retractable tape measure

e. A mechanical lift with sufficient clearance and capable of safely lifting the storage enclosure without drive modules

4. Ensure the rack cabinet is suitable for use with the storage enclosure.

a. A rack cabinet capable of holding 4U form factors, leveled in all planes with respect to each other

b. A maximum depth of 43.35 inches (1101mm) from back of front post to maximum extremity, excluding cabling and door

closure considerations

c. A rack cabinet that causes a maximum back air pressure of 5 pascals (0.5mm water gauge)

d. Weight capacity for the total number of storage enclosures installed, using a maximum of 310 lb (140kg) per storage

enclosure

NOTE

Allocate and maintain a 1.7m or 5.58 ft safe distance to mount or remove a storage enclosure into a rack.

5. Secure sufficient staff to assist with the installation. Minimum staff:

a. One qualified service technician for the complete installation procedure

b. One spotter to assist with the lift and to observe the installation from the rear of the rack cabinet

c. A total of two to four people to unpack the storage enclosure and move it onto the mechanical lift
