Storage System Detailed Installation
Select an appropriate location within your rack cabinet.
Consider the location of the enclosures in relationship to each other and the
host server to ensure the cables will easily reach between them.
CAUTION: The power supplies should be removed prior to installing the
enclosure into the rack cabinet. The enclosure chassis could be
damaged during installation due to the added unbalanced weight
of the power supplies.
Remove the storage system from its shipping carton and inspect for obvious
damage.

Remove and open the accessory kit. Inside you will find the power
cable(s), serial communication cable, and the documentation/software
CD. Also you will find a QuickStart instruction page that provides
accelerated procedures to setup the enclosure.
b
Open the left and right flaps on the Accessory Box Insert. Remove the
bezel and mounting rail kit.

Lift the Foam Pad from the Drive Tray and remove the disk drives from
the Foam Drive Tray. Then remove the Drive Tray from the box.

Remove the top foam piece from the enclosure chassis and lift the
enclosure from the box. Place the enclosure on a flat work surface.
