Chapter 4. Installation

Installation checklist

This chapter shows how to plan for and successfully install your enclosure system into an industry
standard 1.2 m rack cabinet.
CAUTION: To install the system, use only the power cords supplied, or power cables that match
the specification quoted in AC power cords/universal jumper cords.
The following table outlines the steps required to install the enclosure. To ensure successful installation,
perform the tasks in the order presented. For rackmount installation, temporarily place all disk drive
modules in a static-protected area, and then install them after the Model 106 is installed in the rack.
Table 4. Installation checklist
Step Task
1 Unpack the enclosure
2 Plan and prepare for installing the Model 106
into the rack
3 For rackmount installation, defer installing
disks until the Model 106 is rack-mounted
4 Install the Model 106 into the rack space
5 Cable the Model 106 to the compatible server
HBA or RBOD
6 Cable the 4U106 to any compatible EBODs
7 Connect power cords
8 Test enclosure connectivity
1. The environment in which the enclosure operates must be dust-free to ensure adequate airflow.
2. Locate the disk modules and temporarily place them in a static-protected environment for population
of the disk bays once the enclosure is installed and secured into the rack.
3. Removing CRUs before rack-mounting is not necessary, but can be done to lighten the enclosure. See
removal and installation steps for individual CRUs. If you temporarily remove the CRUs, label them and
place CRUs and disk modules in a static-protected environment.
Note: The environment in which the enclosure operates must be dust-free to ensure adequate airflow.
