Chapter 2. Installing A San384B-2 In A Cabinet; Items Included With The San384B-2 - IBM System Storage SAN384B-2 Installation, Service And User Manual

Chapter 2. Installing a SAN384B-2 in a cabinet

The SAN384B-2 is only available for installation in the IBM TotalStorage 2109 SAN
Switch Cabinet C36. This product is to be installed and serviced only by qualified
IBM service representatives. The SAN384B-2 can be ordered pre-installed in the
cabinet, or it can be added to an existing C36 cabinet. The cabinet is designed to
support a total of three SAN384B-2s. Each installation of the SAN384B-2 requires
the port-side exhaust vent kit, which directs the exhaust to the service aisle and
also serves as the rack installation kit. If three SAN384B-2 products are ordered,
two will be pre-installed in the C36 cabinet, and the third will be installed in the
cabinet at the customer site.
This chapter describes how to install a SAN384B-2 into a C36 cabinet, and how to
remove the SAN384B-2 from the cabinet in the event you need to move or replace
the system. If all SAN384B-2 units are already installed in the cabinet, continue on
to Chapter 3, "Starting and configuring the SAN384B-2," on page 33. The
installation requires a minimum of two people for a safe installation.
Attention: Refer to "Safety notices" on page xv for general safety instructions
"Safety notices and labels" on page xv, and "Rack safety" on page xxii before
performing any installation or service procedures.
CAUTION:
A fully populated SAN384B-2 weighs approximately 68 kg (150 lb). Before you
install it, verify that the additional weight of the chassis does not exceed the
cabinet's weight limit or unbalance the cabinet. When you calculate the
additional weight, include the weights of all components that can potentially be
added, to avoid overloading in the future.
CAUTION:
For CA residents only: IBM recommends installing this product in a room size
of 62 cubic meters (2190 cubic feet) or larger at 0.4 ACH ventilation rate to
reduce the concentrations of any chemicals emitted by the product.
