  • Page 13 Equipment Rack Installation Attach the outer rail to the rack. The 2-post install will use the two inner mounting brackets to attach to the rack and the 4-post install will use the two outer brackets. Both install methods are shown in Figure 5. Note: If you are using a non-threaded rack, install the threaded brackets behind each rack mount point as shown in Figure 5.
  • Page 14 Equipment Rack Installation Lift the M-100 appliance in place and align the inner rail that is mounted on the M-100 with the outer rail that is now mounted on the rack and slide the appliance inward until it stops. Simultaneously press the release latches on each side of the inner rail to allow the inner rail to completely slide into the outer rail.

    Replace an M-100 Appliance Disk Drive Replace an M-100 Appliance Disk Drive The M-100 appliance has eight drive bays and each drive pair (A1 and A2 for example) is in an independent RAID 1 array. This redundant configuration ensures that there is no service interruption or loss of log data if a disk drive fails.
  • Page 19 Figure 9 shows how to remove a drive carrier (A1 in the illustration) from the appliance. Figure 9. Remove or Install an M-100 Appliance Disk Drive Carrier Remove the replacement drive from the packaging and compare the drive model written on the label with the drive model of the failed drive.
  • Page 20 Replace an M-100 Appliance Disk Drive Remove the four screws that hold the failed drive in the drive carrier and then remove the drive from the carrier. Note: If you are using an empty carrier that does not have a drive installed, you may have to remove the blank drive insert by removing the four screws that attach the insert to the carrier.
