DANGER
Do not continue with this procedure until you have confirmed the following:
1. Both rails are secured to the rack and all mounting screws are in place and
tightened.
2. The inner slide rails attached to the node are inserted correctly, and firmly secured,
in the intermediate slide rails that are attached to the rack.
If you fail to attach the node to the rails correctly it can lead to severe injury when the
node is pulled for future maintenance.
After the node is secured in the rack, install the drives in the node.
There are 36 drive bays that you must fill with drives: twenty-four in the front of the node,
and twelve in the back of the node.
Procedure
1. With the locking handle on the drive open, insert a drive into an empty drive bay by
sliding the drive along the bay rails until it stops.
Do not force the drive into the drive bay. Forcing the drive into the drive bay could
damage both the drive and the drive bay.
