Page 29: Preparing The Rack
Phase 1 of the installation process consists of verifying that the rack and its location meet specifications. Quantum Corporation recommends removing the front and rear doors to the rack before assembling. If possible, Quantum Corporation also recommends removing the side panels of the rack for assembly.
Page 30: Verifying Rack Requirements
Rack requirements on page 242. However, Quantum Corporation has found that choosing a rack based solely on the measurements provided can sometimes lead to unexpected and unsatisfactory results. Consequently, Quantum Corporation recommends that you consider the items in the table below when choosing a rack for the...
Page 31: Table 2-4. Rack Considerations For The Activescale X100
• If you are using horizontal PDUs, you will need to add additional U space to the 38U ActiveScale X100 requirement. • If other equipment will also reside in the rack, you will need to ensure that ActiveScale X100 has at least 38Us as well as sufficient open power receptacles in the PDUs.
Page 32: Servicing Space Requirement
Top of Rack REAR FRONT 2.3 PDU considerations Quantum Corporation recommends that you install and connect the PDUs during the phase Powering the ActiveScale X100 on page 105. If the rack you are working on already has the PDUs installed, consider removing them from the rack to facilitate the installation of the Storage Enclosure Basics and System Interconnects.
Page 33: System Serial Number
Each ActiveScale X100 system has a serial number, and each component of the ActiveScale X100 that is installed in the rack is labeled with this serial number. As you assemble the ActiveScale X100, verify that the serial numbers on all components match.

Page 38: Unpacking A Storage Enclosure Basic
3.2.1 Unpacking a Storage Enclosure Basic When unpacking a Storage Enclosure Basic, perform the following steps: 1. Identify the box that has the Storage Enclosure Basic label. As you assemble the ActiveScale X100 open, Storage Enclosure Basic boxes in sequential order.
Page 39: Installing The Rail Kit
Note: Extra screws are included in the ActiveScale X100 accessory box. Table 3-6. Required tools Number 2 Phillips-head screwdriver with a 12" shaft.
Page 40 ActiveScale™ OS X100 Rackless Installation Guide 1. If you haven't already done so, remove the rail kit from the box and unpack hardware contained within the packaging. 2. Determine the location you would like to mount the first rail. In some rack positions where the rack frame may create difficult access to the cable channel, you may choose to pre-thread the power cables and the SAS cables through the rails before mounting them.
Page 41 ActiveScale™ OS X100 Rackless Installation Guide 4. Push the front of the rail back until it is flush behind the front vertical rail and insert screws with washers in the top and bottom holes of the rail. Note: The chamfered side of the washer goes toward the rack. Tip: If you drop or lose a screw, look for the bag of extra screws included in the accessory kit.
Page 42 ActiveScale™ OS X100 Rackless Installation Guide 5. Align the back end of the rack mount rail with the back of the rail. 6. Loosely insert four screws to secure the back end of the rail to the rear vertical rail. 7.

ActiveScale™ OS X100 Rackless Installation Guide important if you purchased multiple systems for an initial install. Systems that have been running for some time may report a lowered data safety after a scale out. You must resolve any data safety issues before attempting to scale out. If the data safety of the system is not optimal or there are failed drives, fix the issues by replacing the drives before starting this procedure.

Page 241: About Activescale X100 Racks
ActiveScale™ OS X100 Rackless Installation Guide 19 About ActiveScale X100 racks The ActiveScale X100 system is designed to be integrated into the user's own rack mounting solution and does not come installed in an Quantum Corporation rack. Therefore, this section describes what is required of a rack mounting solution in order to accommodate the physical dimensions and performance characteristics of the product.
Page 242: Rack Requirements
19.2 Airflow considerations Ensure that both the front and rear of the ActiveScale X100 stay clear of any materials that may block or disrupt the airflow in any way. Disrupting the airflow can cause the system to overheat which may affect performance or cause damage to the system.
Page 243: Table 19-25. Airflow Requirements
ActiveScale™ OS X100 Rackless Installation Guide • Controlled air conditioners that are functional and can sufficiently maintain specified system operating temperatures should be located in the facility where the system will be installed. • The airflow in and out of the equipment must not be restricted. Table 19-25.

Page 245: Pdu Specifications
20 PDU specifications This appendix defines the requirements for the PDUs to be used in the ActiveScale X100 system rack. It is not intended to be a full description of the PDU selected. The PDU may have additional features not required by this application.
Page 246: Pdu Requirements, Common
PDU where one PDU cannot provide enough power for the ActiveScale X100 system. For these power configurations, up to two power connections will be used for each “source” of the system.
Page 247: Mechanical Requirements
20.2 Mechanical requirements 20.2.1 Redundancy The PDUs selected must have at least 34 receptacles available for ActiveScale X100 components. Preferably, these would be split into 2, redundant, PDUs, to protect the system from PDU or power failure. Each component would have one connection to each PDU.
Page 248: Monitoring
PDU monitoring is a requirement in your environment. 20.3.1 Local monitoring The monitoring requirement is optional. However, Quantum Corporation recommends that each PDU shall include local (on board) indicators of the status of each branch circuit. These will show the following information: Branch Circuit Protection Device State:Closed circuit:Open circuit.
Page 249: Safety
Storage Nodes 3-5 seconds for each device For an example of the exact programming sequence used by Quantum Corporation power supplies, refer to the cabling section of the ActiveScale X100 Support Guide. 20.4.1 Safety The PDU used shall comply with the safety standards of the country that rack is installed in.
