SAN384B Installation, Service, and User Guide
This section describes how to install the SAN384B in the Model C36 cabinet. These
procedures use parts that are included in the hardware accessory kit and the
port-side exhaust kit, which also functions as a lower supporting shelf. No
rack-mount rail kit is required for this installation.
To safely complete the installation, a minimum of two people are required.
Allow approximately 3 hours to complete this entire procedure. This total includes
unpacking, assembling, disassembling, and repacking the lift tool. The time
estimate is for the physical installation of the SAN384B only. It does not include
installing Ethernet cables, transceivers, attaching and routing the fiber optic cables,
or completing the initial configuration.
The SAN384B and the lift tool should be delivered to a location near to the final
installation, with clear aisles for maneuvering the lift tool loaded with the chassis.
Since the lift tool can be used to move the chassis the short distance from the
delivery location to the installation, it is recommended that you assemble the lift
tool before starting the installation steps.
Note: Brief assembly instructions for the lift tool are attached to the back of the lift
tool. Additional instructions are included below in "Unpacking and
assembling the lift tool" on page 15.
Table 4 provides a summary of time estimates for the different installation tasks
and the tools required for each task.
