About this task
To determine where to install the disk drive enclosure into a rack, complete the following steps:
Procedure
1. Determine where in the rack to place the enclosure in relation to other system hardware. As you plan
for installing the enclosure in a rack, keep in mind the following information:
• Organize larger and heavier units into the lower part of the rack.
• Plan to install units into the lower part of the rack first.
• Record the Electronic Industries Alliance (EIA) locations in your plan.
Note: The enclosure is two EIA units high. An EIA unit is 44.50 mm (1.75 in). The rack contains three
mounting holes for each EIA unit of height. Therefore, this enclosure is 89 mm (3.5 in) high and covers
six mounting holes in the rack.
2. Ensure that you have the electrostatic discharge (ESD) wrist strap on and that the ESD clip is plugged
into a ground jack or connected to an unpainted metal surface. If not, do so now.
3. If necessary, open or remove the front and rear rack doors.
4. If necessary, remove the filler panels to allow access to the inside of the rack enclosure where you
plan to place the enclosure.
