Planning & Preparation Figure 2.5 Server module removal 3. With one hand supporting the bottom of the module, grab the lock bar and pull the server module out of the enclosure. 4. Place the server module on an anti-static surface until reinstallation. 5.
Page 27: Enclosure Rack Installation
Enclosure Rack Installation The instructions that follow discuss the procedures for installing the VSS2249RQ Storage Server into a standard EIA 19-inch (48.3-centimeter) rack. When properly installed, the rail kit’s chassis member (bolted to the sides of the enclosure) slides inside the rail kit’s cabinet member (bolted to the rack).
Page 28: Preparing The Rails For Installation
Enclosure Rack Installation PREPARING THE RAILS FOR INSTALLATION The rail kit accommodates racks with square or round rack post holes. Preparation for each type are nearly identical with the exception that round post holes will require the use of a different set of screws. No changes are necessary for racks with square rack post holes.
Page 29: Separating The Inner And Outer Rails
Preparing the Rails for Installation Figure 2.10 Installing 7.1-inch screws 3. Proceed to the next section to separate the rails for installation. Separating the Inner and Outer Rails Before the rail kit is installed, the inner chassis member rails must be separated from the outer cabinet member rail.
Page 30: Installing The Inner Rails Onto The Chassis
Enclosure Rack Installation Release tab Figure 2.12 Rail release tab 3. Fully pull the inner chassis member rail from the outer cabinet member rail and set aside. 4. Repeat steps 1 through 3 to separate the second inner chassis member rail from the outer cabinet member rail.
Page 31 Installing the Inner Rails onto the Chassis Rear Front Figure 2.13 Align the standoffs with the keyholes 2. Slide the rail towards the back of the enclosure to secure the standoff on the smaller section of the keyhole to lock the rail in place, which is accompanied by an audible click.
Page 32: Installing The Rails Onto The Rack Posts
Enclosure Rack Installation Figure 2.15 Securing the rail 4. Repeat steps 1 through 3 to secure the left rail onto the chassis. INSTALLING THE RAILS ONTO THE RACK POSTS These instructions provide the process for installing the front and rear mounting brackets into each of the four rack posts.
Page 33: Installing The Enclosure Into The Rack
Installing the Enclosure into the Rack 3. Once the screws are fully inserted, release the catch to secure the rail to the post. Refer to the “After” image in Figure 2.16 on page 20 for an illustration of a properly installed left rear cabinet member bracket. 4.
Page 34: Reinstalling The Frus
