1. "Installation guidelines"

Installation guidelines

Before you install the storage expansion enclosure in a rack cabinet, review the following guidelines:
v This product is to be installed and serviced only by qualified IBM service representatives.
v Because of the size and weight of the storage enclosure as shipped, a lift tool and a minimum of two
trained service technicians are required to push the enclosure out of its custom-designed package and
onto the lift tool.
v The storage expansion enclosure must not be installed in a rack position where the top of the unit is
above 32U or the bottom of the unit is above the 29U mark on the rack cabinet.
v Make sure that the room air temperature is below 25°C (77°F). The operating temperature for optimal
performance is 22°C (72°F) or lower.
v Do not block any air vents; usually 15 cm (6 in.) of space provides proper airflow.

If you do not have an IBM System Storage 2101-200 rack with the supported PDUs and 60 A power cords, check your PDUs or input sources to make sure that they can handle the EXP5060 voltage and currents.

  • Page 3: Ordering The Lift Tool

    Ordering the lift tool The use of a lift tool is required when you install an EXP5060 in a rack cabinet and when you remove the EXP5060 from a rack cabinet. Make sure that the lift tool is available on location at the time of the installation.

  • Page 4: Unpacking The Shipping Box

    The disk drive modules (DDMs) that come with the storage expansion enclosure are packaged in a smaller box inside the shipping box. To unpack the shipping box, complete the following steps: 1. Remove the following items from the shipping box. Do not remove the EXP5060 from the shipping box at this time.

  • Page 7: Installing The Support Rails And Rear Brackets

    If the support rails will be installed above an existing storage subsystem or storage expansion enclosure, position the EXP5060 support rails directly above it. If the support rails will be installed below an existing storage subsystem or storage expansion enclosure, allow 178 mm (7 in.) of vertical clearance for the EXP5060.
  • Page 8 Attention: Make sure that the screws are tight enough to support the weight of the storage expansion enclosure, but do not completely tighten the screws yet. 7. Make sure that the holes in the rail above and below the top mounting screw are visible through the holes of the rack flange and tighten the two M5 screws to secure the front of the rail to the rack flange.

  • Page 9: Installing And Removing The Handles

    Installing and removing the handles Install the handles on the storage expansion enclosure before you move the unit onto the lift tool. After you install the storage expansion enclosure in the rack cabinet and remove the handles, store the handles for future use.

  • Page 12: Installing The Ddms

    Important: The installation order within each drawer is from left to right in each row if you are facing the front of the EXP5060. You must install DDMs in slots 1, 4, 7, and 10. Make sure that the four DDMs in each row are adjacent to each other. The long edge of each DDM should touch the DDM next to it.
