LIFTING HAZARD
CAUTION
A disk shelf containing the two IOMs,
four power supplies, and four disk
carriers weighs 82 lbs (37 kg).
To reduce the weight of a disk shelf to
approximately 53 lbs (24 kg), remove
all the IOMs and power supplies
before lifting.
1. Remove the EXN3200 front bezel.
2. From the front of the rack, place the EXN3200 onto the rails and slide it in until the front mounting
bracket of the unit is flush with the frame rails of the rack.
Attention:
The EXN3200 ships with IOMs, power supplies, and four disk carriers installed in the
storage expansion unit. The four disk carriers contain the Data ONTAP root volume. Best practice is
to leave the disk carriers in the storage expansion unit when installing the EXN3200.
3. At the front of the rack, using four silver pan head M5 screws, that come with the rail kit, in the H5
and H10 holes, secure the EXN3200 to the rack by threading the screws through the system unit
bracket and the rack frame rail into the threaded rail nuts. Tighten the screws using a flat-bladed
screwdriver.
4. From the rear of the rack, use silver pan head M5 screws 2 that come with the tie-down bracket to
attach the tie-down bracket 1 to the rack on each rail, as shown in Figure 6.

CAUTION:
An EXN3200 containing two IOMs, four power supplies, and four disk carriers weighs 37
kg (82 lbs). Use two people to lift an EXN3200 into a rack. To make the unit lighter and
easier to move, remove the power supplies and IOMs, noting the location of each
component for reinstallation. Do not remove the disk drives or drive blank covers to
reduce the weight. After the unit is installed in the rack, reinsert the power supplies and
IOMs.
