Review enclosure location guidelines

Edit online

Before you install the enclosures, you must be familiar with these enclosure location guidelines.

  • Position the enclosure in the rack so that you can easily view it and access it for servicing.
  • Locate the enclosure low enough for the rack to remain stable.

A fully assembled enclosure, containing drives, node canisters, power supplies units, and all possible features weighs approximately 45 kg (99 lb), requiring three people to lift. For installation by a single person, reduce the system down to manageable components by removing the drives from the front of the enclosure and node canisters and power supply units from the rear of the enclosure before you attempt to move the enclosure.
