Chapter 4 Installing the System Into a Rack Storage shelves must be installed below the server nodes to prevent the rack from tipping. Open the storage shelf rail kit box and find the cage nut packets included with the kit, and confirm if your rack uses square or round holes.
Page 41
Chapter 4 Installing the System Into a Rack Attach the storage shelf rails to the rack, as follows: Orient the rail so that the stamped label (LEFT or RIGHT) is facing the inside of the rack. Adjust the rail length to fit the front and rear of the rack. Note: Mark which rack rail holes you will be using to ensure the storage shelf rails are installed evenly and correctly the first time.

Chapter 4 Installing the System Into a Rack Carefully slide the shelf into the cabinet. Ensure that the shelf is fully seated within the rails. If removing the shelf to reseat it, support it at all times. Secure the front of the shelf using the four captive securing screws [1 - 4]. The following figure shows how to secure the front of the storage shelf: To secure the storage shelf in the rack for shipping, install a screw in each rear storage shelf chassis ear.
Please note the following exceptional conditions: • The storage expansion shelf normally sits at the bottom of Oracle Database Appliance, beneath the storage shelf. However, since racks should always be provisioned from the bottom up, that space might be unavailable. In these cases, to avoid re-rackmounting the entire system, it can be placed above the server nodes, or even in a different rack.
