• Verify that the data center ground is accessible where you are installing the chassis.
• Verify that you have the following tools and equipment:
– Mechanical lift capable of lifting the full weight of the chassis and its installed modules
CAUTION : If the rack is on wheels, ensure that the brakes are engaged or that the rack is
otherwise stabilized. If connecting a IBM c-type SAN Device to a 110-VAC power system, ensure
that sufficient power is provided to meet the chassis power requirements for the number of
modules installed.
CAUTION : All power supplies must be grounded. The receptacles of the AC power cables used
to provide power to the chassis must be the grounding type, and the grounding conductors
should connect to protective earth ground at the service equipment. For a IBM c-type SAN
Device with a DC power supply, a grounding cable must be connected to the terminal block.
When connected to 220 VAC, the 3000-W AC power supplies for the IBM c-type SAN Device are
designed to provide an output power of 3000 W to power the modules and fans. When connected to a
110 VAC power system, the power supply provides approximately 1450 W. In this case, and if the power
supplies are used in redundant rather than combined mode, they might not provide adequate power,
depending on the number of modules loaded in the chassis.
If a 110-VAC input is chosen, a 110-VAC power cord must be ordered separately.
Warning : When installing or replacing the unit, the ground connection must always be made
first and disconnected last. Statement 1046
Note : Fully loaded, the SAN384C-6 chassis can weigh up to 449.5 lb (203.8 kg), and the SAN768C-6
chassis can weigh up to 923 lb (419 kg).You can lighten the chassis for easier moving by removing its
power supplies, fan modules, and fabric modules. To determine the full weight of the chassis and the
appropriate weight rating for the mechanical lift, see Appendix A, "Product Specifications," on page
135, "Fan Modules" on page 36, and "Power Supplies" on page 39.
CAUTION : You must use a mechanical lift or floor jack to elevate a switch weighing over 120
pounds (55 kg).
– Phillips-head torque screwdriver
– Bottom-support rails kit (shipped with the accessory kit)
Part of this kit has already been used to install the bottom-support rails. You should still have 14 12-24
x 3/4-inch or M6 x 19 mm Phillips screws, which are required for attaching the chassis to the rack.
Note : You should also have at least two persons to push the chassis when you slide it onto the rack.
Warning : To prevent bodily injury when mounting or servicing this unit in a rack, you must
take special precautions to ensure that the system remains stable. The following guidelines are
provided to ensure your safety:
• This unit should be mounted at the bottom of the rack if it is the only unit in the rack.
• When mounting this unit in a partially filled rack, load the rack from the bottom to the top with
the heaviest component at the bottom of the rack.
• If the rack is provided with stabilizing devices, install the stabilizers before mounting or servicing
the unit in the rack
About this task
Use this procedure to install the IBM SAN384C-6 or SAN768C-6 device on a Four-Post Rack or Cabinet.
