You might need to install the expansion unit into a rack.
This section includes procedures so that you can perform these tasks.
This procedure assumes that you are installing the expansion unit
into an existing rack. If the rack is not installed,
follow the instructions in Installing the rack,
and then return to this procedure for instructions on installing the
expansion unit into the rack.
For instructions related to installing, removing,
and replacing a disk drive, disk-drive backplane or enclosure, see Disk drives.
To install the expansion unit into a rack, perform the following
steps:
Attention: Installing the rails in the rack is a complex
procedure. To install the rails correctly, you must perform each task
in order. Failure to do so might cause rail failure and potential
danger to yourself and the expansion unit. Also, note that for the 5802 and 5877, three people
are required to safely lift the system. Using fewer than three people
to lift the system can result in injury.
- Read the Rack safety notices. Failure to read
these notices could damage the equipment or injure the installer.
- Complete a parts inventory. Refer to the kitting list provided
with the rack installation kit, and see Completing a parts inventory.
- Locate the rack-mounting hardware kit and the system rail assemblies
that were included with your expansion unit.
- Determine where to locate the expansion unit in the rack. See Determining the location. This expansion
unit is four Electronic Industries Alliance (EIA) units high. An EIA
unit is 1.75 in (44.45 mm) in height. The rack contains three mounting
holes for each EIA unit of height.
- Mark the location. See Marking the location.
