Safety Information
Take the following precautions when installing disk shelves and controllers into a rack.
Note:
If your rail kit shipped with installation instructions, use those instructions
instead.
•
Before you begin installation, read the Safety Agency Compliance Statements
section in the Safety and Compliance Guide for your controller.
•
For safety reasons, mount the heaviest equipment, typically disk shelves, at the
bottom of the rack. For rack-mounting guidelines, refer to the Safety and
Compliance Guide for your controller.
•
Always load equipment into a rack from the bottom up so that it will not become
top-heavy and tip over. Deploy the anti-tip bar to prevent the rack from tipping
during equipment installation.
•
Ensure that the temperature in the rack will not exceed the equipment's maximum
ambient rated temperatures. Consider the total airflow requirements of all
equipment installed in the rack to ensure that the equipment is operated within its
specified temperature range.
•
Always use the width spacer alignment tool when installing rails into racks that use
cage nuts and mounting screws. Failure to use the spacer can cause the glides
and sliders to jam and damage the rail.
•
Do not remove a component if you do not have an immediate replacement. The
disk shelf must not be operated without all components in place.
•
Do not lift a disk shelf by the handles on the power supply with fan modules; they
are not designed to take the weight.
Cabinet and Tool Requirements
Use one of the following racks for an Oracle Storage Drive Enclosure DEx-24 disk
shelf:
Note:
Position the rack where the shelf is to be installed adjacent to the rack where
the controller is installed, if separate. Stabilize the cabinet and lock the
casters. To facilitate access, remove doors from cabinets.
