Installing the disk drive enclosure into a rack is a customer
task. You can perform this task yourself, or contact a service provider
to perform the task for you. You might be charged a fee by the service
provider for this service.
Important: To complete this
procedure, it is suggested that you use two people to attach the rail
assembly to the rack. Position one person in front of the rack and
one person at the back of the rack.
To install the 5886 into a rack,
complete these steps:
CAUTION:
Installing the rails
in the rack is a complex procedure. To install the rails correctly,
you must perform each task in the following order. Failure to do so
might cause rail failure and potential danger to yourself and the
system unit. Also note that two people are required to safely lift
the expansion unit. Using fewer than two people to lift the expansion
unit can result in injury.
- Refer to the kitting list provided with the rack installation
kit, and complete a parts inventory.
- Locate the rack-mounting hardware kit and the system
rail assemblies that were included with your disk drive enclosure.
The
rails are front-to-back and left-to-right side dependent.
- Determine where you will locate the disk drive enclosure
in the rack. See Determining the location.
The disk drive enclosure is two Electronic Industries Alliance (EIA)
units high. An EIA unit is 44.50 mm (1.75 in.) in height. The rack
contains three mounting holes for each EIA unit of height. This system
unit, therefore, is 89 mm (3.5 in.) high and covers 6 mounting holes
in the rack.
- Mark the location. See Marking the location.
