Oracle Storage Drive Enclosure DE3-24P requires two rack units (RUs), or six rack holes, of
vertical space in the cabinet.
Before You Begin
• Review
• To prevent the cabinet from tipping, always load the heaviest equipment, which are disk
shelves, starting from the bottom of the cabinet.
• To best prepare for cabling disk shelves to controllers, now and in the future, mount
controllers in the middle of the cabinet.
• Screws are not provided for installation into a cabinet with M6-sized threaded holes.
Caution:
This procedure requires a minimum of two people, or a mechanical lift, because of
the weight of the chassis. Attempting this procedure alone could result in equipment
damage or personal injury. Do not lift the chassis using the power supply handles.
Starting at the bottom of the cabinet, locate the appropriate rack unit (RU) height.
