3 Initial install preparations
Each expansion enclosure installation requires the same amount of preparation to successfully mount it into your industry-
standard rack cabinet of up to 1.2m in depth.
WARNING! Heed all warnings and cautions on labeling and throughout this guide to reduce risk of personal injury or
damage to equipment. You must adhere to all safety requirements in this document. Some relate to the entire system, some to
the rack, some to the storage or expansion enclosure, and others to the FRUs within it.
CAUTION Use only power cords supplied in the installation kit or those that meet product specifications.
IMPORTANT Only a qualified service technician should perform the installation.
Installation checklist
Read this entire section before you begin. You must adhere to all safety requirements prior to and during installation.
WARNING! Do not attempt to install the 5U expansion enclosure into the rack cabinet with drive modules preloaded in
the slots. Serious injury and damage could result. Unload any drive modules in enclosure slots to a static-protected area. Do
not further lighten the enclosure by removing other components.
Use this checklist, performing each task only in the sequence presented after successful completion of the prior step.
