See "Determining rack locations "
The disk drive installation procedure is the same for both types of storage shelves.
Power should not be applied to the storage shelves when you initially install all of
the drives, such as when installing a new shelf.
Each storage shelf has 5 disk drawers, and each drawer holds 12 disks. All 60 disk
drives must be installed.
To help reduce the installation time, Veritas recommends that two people perform
the disk installation. One person should unwrap the disk drive and lift the handle,
then hand it to the other person to install it into the drawer. Both people should wear
ESD protection.
Note: If disks are not installed correctly when power is turned on later, errors are
shown in the hardware monitoring systems. The first place to look for information
is the NetBackup Appliance Web Console. Go to the Monitor > Hardware page.
To install the disk drives into a storage shelf
1
Move all disk drive boxes to the storage shelf location and open each box. Do
not remove any disks or their protective sleeves at this time.
2
Attach an ESD protective (anti-static) wrist strap to one wrist and connect the
other end to the rack.
