Installing the 4U100 enclosure

After you successfully complete the installation of the rack mount rail kit, you can mount the storage enclosure into the
rack cabinet.
WARNING! Do not attempt to install the storage enclosure into the rack cabinet with disk drives preloaded in
the slots. Serious injury and damage could result. Unload any disk drives in storage enclosure slots to an
ESD-protected area and track their location in the storage enclosure. You do not need to further lighten the
storage enclosure by removing other components.

Mounting the storage enclosure into the rack cabinet

WARNING! Serious injury and mechanical failure could result if you do not adhere to rack cabinet safety
precautions.
a. To avoid risk of death or injury from tipping the rack, follow all rack installation guidelines, securing the rack
cabinet to the floor with a concrete anchor kit.
b. To avoid catastrophic failure of the rack assembly, never exceed rack cabinet weight limits.
c. Entirely support the storage enclosure with the mechanical lift until the storage enclosure is in the storage
position.
d. Follow local occupational health and safety guidelines and meet all requirements for manual material handling.
Mounting the storage enclosure into the rack cabinet is the most critical of the installation procedures and requires your
full attention. Safety and hardware longevity depend on the smooth function of the rails and correct implementation of
this task. Key considerations include:
• Make sure there is sufficient clearance for the storage enclosure when fully extended in the service position and for a
technician or system administrator.
• Observe rack cabinet weight limits.
• Fill the rack cabinet from the bottom to the top, mounting the heaviest equipment at the bottom.
