You might need to install the system on the rail assembly.
Use the steps detailed in this procedure to perform this task. In
addition to related safety information, illustrations of the related
hardware components are provided.
Before installing the system on the rail assembly, ensure
that the stabilizers are extended and the tip plate is attached to
the bottom front of the rack to prevent the rack from falling forward
when the rails are pulled out of the rack. Refer to Rack safety notices.
To install the system unit on
the rail assembly, follow these steps:
- (Optional) To reduce the weight of the unit for easier
installation in the rack cabinet, remove the power supplies. To remove
a power supply, complete the following steps:
- On the left side of a power supply, press the orange
release tab to the right just enough to release the handle [no more
than 6.4 mm (0.24 in.)] as you rotate the handle downward.
Figure 1. Removing power supplies
- Carefully slide the power supply out of the unit.
- Repeat this step for the other power supply; then, set
both units aside for later installation.
- (Optional) To reduce the weight of the unit for easier
installation in the rack cabinet, remove the hard disk drives. To
remove a hard disk drive, press the latch and pull out the handle;
then, carefully pull the drive from the unit. Repeat this step for
all hard disk drives.
Note: - Before you remove any hard disk drives, make sure that you mark
their locations so that you can reinstall them in the same locations.
- Handle hard disk drives gently and do not stack them. Follow all
precautions for static-sensitive devices.
Figure 2. Removing disk
drives
- Lift the system unit and position it over the front of
the rails.
Attention: For the 5886, two people
are required to safely lift the system. Using fewer than two people
to lift the system can result in injury.
- Slide the unit into the rack cabinet, making sure that
it slides into the tabs on the rear of the rail.
- Secure the front of the unit to the rack cabinet with one
M5 screw in the open hole in each bracket (no washer is required).
Figure 3. Installing the securing screws
- Secure the rear of the unit to each rail assembly with
one M4 pan-head screw in the slotted hole on the outside of the storage
enclosure chassis wall.
- Reverse the procedures in step 1 and step 2 to reinstall
the power supplies and hard disk drives.
- Connect a power cord to each power supply. Use the power-cord
guide for strain relief to prevent the power cord from disconnecting
accidentally.
- Install the left bezel (it has the LEDs) and the right
bezel. Fit the cutout on the top of the bezel over the tab on the
chassis flange and then rotate the bezel down until it snaps into
place. Make sure that the inside surface of the bezel is flush with
the chassis.

how to connect and configure the system when you have completed installing
the system into the rack, see Enclosures and expansion units.
