v Do not leave open spaces above or below an installed storage expansion enclosure in your rack cabinet.
To help prevent damage to storage expansion enclosure components, always install a blank filler panel
to cover the open space and to help ensure proper air circulation.
v Install the storage expansion enclosure only in a rack cabinet with perforated doors.
v Plan the device installation starting from the bottom of the rack cabinet.
v Install the heaviest device in the bottom of the rack cabinet.
v Do not extend more than one device out of the rack cabinet at the same time.
v Remove the rack doors and side panels to provide easier access during installation. Depending on the
rack location where the storage expansion enclosure will be installed, you might need to remove the
bracket that holds the door to the rack because the bracket might obstruct the storage expansion
enclosure handles.
v Connect the storage expansion enclosure to a properly grounded outlet. The storage expansion
enclosure accepts only 200 V - 240 V input sources. In addition, you might need to purchase a special
cable for the rack PDUs for the voltage and currents that the EXP5060 requires. 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.
v Do not overload the power outlet when you install multiple devices in the rack cabinet.
v Install the storage expansion enclosure in a rack cabinet that meets the following requirements:
– Minimum depth of 70 mm (2.76 in.) between the front support flange and the inside of the front
door.
– Minimum depth of 157 mm (6.18 in.) between the rear support flange and the inside of the rear
door.
– Minimum depth of 762 mm (30 in.) between the front and rear support flanges to support the use of
the cable-management arm.
v For more information about installing the storage expansion enclosure in a non-IBM rack, see the
"Specifications for non-IBM rack installation" section in the IBM System Storage EXP5060 Storage
Subsystem Installation, User's, and Maintenance Guide.

Attention:
1. Because of the size and weight of the storage expansion 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. If a lift tool is not available, see Appendix G,
"Component weights", in the IBM System Storage EXP5060 Storage Subsystem Installation, User's, and
Maintenance Guide for additional information.
2. Before you move or relocate a rack that contains EXP5060 storage expansion enclosures, see
"Relocating a populated rack" in the IBM System Storage EXP5060 Storage Subsystem Installation, User's,
and Maintenance Guide for additional information.
