Installing the FAStT700 Storage Server in a rack cabinet

The FAStT700 Storage Server comes with a rack-mounting hardware kit for
installation into a rack cabinet. It is easier to lift the FAStT700 Storage Server and

Storage Server with a storage server fan, battery, fan and communications module,
two RAID controllers, two power supplies, and eight mini hubs installed weighs
43.99 kg (97 lbs). If you remove all the CRUs, you reduce the overall weight.
For detailed instructions about removing the CRUs and installing the FAStT700
