CAUTION
The enclosures are heavy and should be installed into or removed from a rack by two
people. To avoid personal injury and/or damage to the equipment, do not attempt to lift
and install an enclosure into a rack without a mechanical lift and/or help from another
person.
There are two types of disk array enclosures (DAEs). Each requires 2U vertical space (3.5
inches, 8.9 cm). One utilizes 3.5" disks, while the other utilizes 2.5" disks. The
installation procedure is almost identical, with the exception of the following caution
when using snap-in rails.
CAUTION
Do not install the enclosure without the rear rail screws installed and fully tightened. If
the screws are not installed and tightened, the rails could rotate out of position,
possibly causing the enclosure to fall, causing damage to the DAE and causing
personnel injury.
Refer to Figure 17 on page 27
Procedure
1. Slide the disk-array enclosure (DAE) into the DAE rails in the cabinet.
Ensure that the enclosure is fully seated in the cabinet. The rail securing tabs/stops in
the back will seat into the back of the enclosure at the correct depth, and the front of
the enclosure will be flush with the cabinet face.
