To determine rack locations for the hardware
1
Determine the total number of rack units (RUs) that you need as follows:
2
Use the rack templates to determine RU locations.
3
Fold the compute node templates at the horizontal yellow lines.
4
Use the following graphics to determine where pins and screws for the storage
shelves fit into the rack.
■
The front of each rail includes four pins that insert into the rear of the front
rack post. One screw fits into the middle hole of the middle RU.
■
The rear of each rail includes four pins that insert into the inside of the rear
rack post. Two screws insert into the front of the rear rack post. The screws
install into the middle hole in the first and the fifth RU.
5
Record the rack positions to help you locate them easily when mounting the
hardware.
Best practices for rack installation
Prepare for the hardware installation by following these recommendations.
■
The appliance requires two RUs of space. Install the appliance in the space that
is directly above the storage shelves.
■
Two people should install the rails; one person at the back of the rack and one
at the front.
■
Two people should lift and place the appliance into the mounted rails.
■
The storage shelves are heavier than the appliance and should be installed as
close to the bottom of the rack as possible.
■
Always install the heavier storage shelves at the bottom of the rack. Best
practices recommend that you install hardware at the bottom of a rack first. Then
work your way up the rack.
■
Determine device order and cabling limits.
■
Be aware of the depth of the guide rails and the devices. Ensure that the distance
between cabinet posts accommodates the rails, devices, cables, and extending
ears.
■
Physically hold a SAS-3 cable between the intended locations for the appliance
and the last storage shelf. Visually confirm that the cable is long enough.
