IBM TotalStorage DS4300 Fibre Channel Storage Subsystem: Installation, User's, and Maintenance Guide
Review the documentation that comes with the rack cabinet for safety and cabling
information. When you install the storage subsystem in a rack, consider the
following factors:
v Ensure that the room air temperature is below 35°C (95°F).
v Do not block any air vents. Usually, leaving 15 cm (6 in.) of air space provides
proper airflow.
v Plan the device installation starting from the bottom of the rack.
v Do not extend more than one device out of the rack at the same time.
v Remove the rack doors and side panels to provide easier access during
installation.
v Connect all power cords to properly wired and grounded electrical outlets.
v Take precautions to prevent overloading the power outlets when you install
multiple devices in a rack.
Statement 4:
≥ 18 kg (39.7 lb)
CAUTION:
Use safe practices when lifting.
You will need a flat-blade and a Phillips screwdriver during the installation. The
following items come with your option. If any items are missing or damaged, contact
your place of purchase.
v Cage nuts (10)
v Clip nuts (10)
v M6 screws (10)
v Side rails (2)
Perform the following steps to install the storage subsystem in a rack.
Before you begin: A DS4300 storage subsystem with 14 drives installed can weigh
up to 41 kg (92 lb). At least three people are required to properly lift the storage
subsystem from the shipping box and place it in the rack. For safety reasons, it is
recommended you remove the CRUs from the DS4300 chassis to lighten the load
for ease in moving the DS4300 unit. If you do not have enough people, follow the
recommendation to perform the first four steps for the installation procedure, which
involve removing some components from the storage subsystem in order to reduce
the weight of the storage subsystem for easier installation.
