NOTE: Two people using lift straps are required to avoid injury.
4. Install the enclosures into the rack.
• Always load the rack from the bottom up for weight stability.
• You can allow room for expansion if you have fewer than the maximum number of enclosures.
WARNING: If installing above the lower 20U of a rack, a customer-provided mechanical lift must be used to avoid
injury.

Press the lock-release buttons inward and use your body to push the drawer toward the chassis until the locks disengage.
5. Insert each disk drive in carrier (DDIC) into the enclosure one at a time.
• Protect the drive from static discharge.
• Handle DDICs by the edges of the frame.
CAUTION: If the enclosure system operates for too long (depending on altitude) with drive drawers open, the
enclosure can overheat, causing power failure and data loss. Such use may invalidate the warranty.
6. Close the drawer after adding all DDICs.
