Chapter 2. Performing The Hardware Installation; Step 5. Installing The Support Rails; Hole Locations In The Front Of The Rack - IBM Storwize V7000 Quick Installation Manual

Chapter 2. Performing the hardware installation

You have completed the initial steps of verifying the shipping contents and becoming familiar with the
hardware components. You have verified that the power and environmental requirements are met and
have planned the location of the enclosures. You are now ready to begin installing the hardware
components and connecting the data cables and power cords.

Step 5. Installing the support rails

To install the support rails, perform the following steps:
1. Locate the rack mounting rails and screws.
The rail assembly is made up of two sets of rails. One set of rails is already installed, or preinstalled,
on the sides of the enclosures. The other set of rails must be installed in the rack cabinet. The rails
on the sides of the enclosures slide into the rails that are installed in the rack cabinet.
2. Working at the front of the rack cabinet, identify the two standard rack units of space in the rack
into which you want to install the support rails.
Figure 7 shows two rack units with the front mounting holes identified.
