Requirements For Rackmount Installation; Rackmount Rail Kit; Installing The 4U106 Enclosure - Seagate Exos E 4U106 Hardware Installation And Maintenance Manual

Requirements for rackmount installation

The enclosure can be installed in an industry standard 1.2 m cabinet capable of holding 4U form factors.
• Minimum depth: 1,206.5 mm (47.5") from rack posts to maximum extremity of enclosure (includes rear panel
cabling and cable bend radii).
• Weight: Up to 140 kg (310 lb), dependent upon configuration, per enclosure.
• The rack should cause a maximum back pressure of 5 pascals (0.5 mm water gauge).
• Before you begin, ensure that you have adequate clearance in front of the rack for installing the rails and the
CMA.
• Follow the sequence of tasks provided in the
CAUTION: Enclosure rackmount precautions
• The mechanical lift and the rack must be level in all planes, and with respect to each other. Failure to comply
could result in mechanical failure of the rail kit.
• Use a "spotter" to observe installation from the rear of the rack. The spotter should ensure the inner rail is fully
mated with the middle rail track throughout installation.

Rackmount rail kit

Rack mounting rails are developed for use with the 4U106 enclosure that fits into 1.2 m rack cabinets. These rails
have been designed and tested for the maximum enclosure weight, and to ensure that multiple enclosures may be
installed without loss of space within the rack. Use only the Seagate supplied rail kit and mounting hardware.

Installing the 4U106 enclosure

Enclosure installation involves interrelated steps and product-kit sub assemblies.
The cable management arm (CMA) comprises subassemblies that attach to the 4U106 enclosure, rails, and rack.

Each enclosure is supplied with two types of rail kits. One is an outer rail kit, and the other is an inner rail kit. Each
rail kit comprises left and right rail subassemblies that attach to the 4U106 enclosure and the rack. The inner rails
are shipped inside the outer rails and need to be removed for installation on the chassis. See
