Complete installation prerequisites
The rackmount rails are designed to bear the maximum weight of the storage enclosure when it is properly mounted in
a standard rack cabinet. You can install multiple storage enclosures in a single rack cabinet.
CAUTION You must use only the supplied rail kit and related mounting hardware.
To complete installation prerequisites:
1. Prepare the host system for the installation by obtaining access to the following items:
a. A functioning host bus adapter
b. Known good cables for host connection that meet storage enclosure requirements
c. The provided right-angle power cords that meet power supply unit specifications
2. Familiarize yourself with system configuration requirements and the layout of storage enclosure modules.
3. Obtain the following:
a. An anti-static wrist or ankle strap for handling static-sensitive components
b. A static-protected environment for temporary storage of the storage enclosure and the disk drives
c. A T10 screwdriver, 6-in length, and #2 Phillips-head magnetic screwdrivers, 6- and 12-in length
d. A retractable tape measure
e. A mechanical lift with sufficient clearance and capable of safely lifting the storage enclosure without disk drives
4. Ensure the rack cabinet is suitable for use with the storage enclosure.
a. A rack cabinet capable of holding 4U form factors, leveled in all planes with respect to each other
b. A maximum depth of 43.35 inches (1101mm) from back of front post to maximum extremity, excluding cabling
and door closure considerations
c. A rack cabinet that causes a maximum back air pressure of 5 pascals (0.5mm water gauge)
d. Weight capacity for the total number of storage enclosures installed, using a maximum of 310 lb (140kg) per
storage enclosure
5. Secure sufficient staff to assist with the installation. Minimum staff:
a. One qualified service technician for the complete installation procedure
b. One spotter to assist with the lift and to observe the installation from the rear of the rack cabinet
c. A total of two to four people to unpack the storage enclosure and move it onto the mechanical lift
