To Prepare the Cabinet

▼
Select the cabinet in which you will be installing the Sun StorageTek 5320 NAS
Appliance. Be sure the cabinet is installed as described in the installation
instructions provided with it.
1. Stabilize the cabinet as described in the cabinet documentation.
2. If the cabinet has casters, make sure the casters are locked to prevent the cabinet
from rolling.
3. Remove or open the top front panel.
4. Remove or open the vented back panel.
Note – Sun Microsystems makes no warranties or guarantees as to fit, form, or
function of the Sun StorageTek 5320 NAS Appliance system installed in third-party
racks or cabinets. It is the customer's responsibility to ensure that the rack or cabinet
can house the Sun StorageTek 5320 NAS Appliance system in all conditions that
might exist. All racks and cabinets must comply with local building and construction
codes.

Installing in the Cabinet

You must plan your installation carefully.
The controller and expansion enclosures must be installed in the cabinet as follows,
always starting from the bottom up. Starting at the bottom distributes the weight
correctly in the cabinet.
Note – If you are installing a mixture of FC and SATA expansion enclosures, be
sure to install the SATA expansion enclosures first, followed by the FC expansion
enclosures. Installing in this order enables you to install either a SATA or FC
expansion enclosure without requiring an outage.
