IBM TotalStorage FAStT600 Fibre Channel Storage Server: Installation and User's Guide
Review the documentation that comes with the rack cabinet for safety and cabling
information. When you install the storage server in a rack, consider the following
factors:
v Ensure that the room air temperature is below 35°C (95°F).
v Do not block any air vents. Usually, leaving 15 cm (6 in.) of air space provides
proper airflow.
v Plan the device installation starting from the bottom of the rack.
v Do not extend more than one device out of the rack at the same time.
v Remove the rack doors and side panels to provide easier access during
installation.
v Connect all power cords to properly wired and grounded electrical outlets.
v Take precautions to prevent overloading the power outlets when you install
multiple devices in a rack.

Perform the following steps to install the storage server in a rack.
Before you begin: A FAStT600 storage server with 14 drives installed can weigh
up to 41 kg (92 lb). At least three persons are required to properly lift the storage
server from the shipping box and place it in the rack. If you do not have enough
people, perform the first four steps for the installation procedure, which involve
removing some components from the storage server in order to reduce the weight
of the storage server for easier installation.
