IMPORTANT: Do not remove the pins from the ends of the rails unless you are converting the rails for use in round-hole racks. - Page 5 To attach the rails to the rack: NOTE: The designation of left and right rail is made when looking at the front of the rack. The rails are marked by an R (right) and L (left) stamped on the metal. Insert the rear end of the right rail into the inside back of the rack until the pins partially extend through the holes in the rack upright.

Page 8: Cabling The Enclosure
To install disk drives: Insert the disk drive into the drive bay (1, Figure 10 (page 8)) until it clicks, locking the drive. Push firmly on the front of the drive carrier to ensure the drive is fully seated into the enclosure. Rotate the drive lever to the right (2, Figure 10 (page 8)) until it locks. - Page 9 Consider the following guidelines when connecting disk enclosures to the EVA6400/8400: One rack may contain two EVA6400 or EVA8400 controllers and a maximum of 18 disk enclosures. The EVA6400 supports a maximum of 18 disk controllers. The EVA8400 supports up to 27 disk enclosures, but adding disk enclosures 19 through 27 requires an expansion rack.

- Page 15 NOTE: With only one I/O module from the newly added enclosure cabled to the array, there will be HP P6000 Command View warnings that indicate disk drives are only connected on one of the redundant Fibre Channel loops. This is to be expected, and the warnings should clear as soon as the other I/O module is connected.
