Installing a 2 U Disk Enclosure
This section describes how to slide and secure a disk enclosure into the cabinet, and then check the installation.
The procedure for installing a SAS disk enclosure is the same as that for installing a smart disk enclosure. The following describes how to install a SAS disk enclosure.
Prerequisites
The adjustable guide rails have been properly installed.
The following installation tools and materials are ready:
- Phillips screwdriver (M3 to M6)
- ESD wrist strap
- ESD clothes
- ESD gloves
Precautions
- To avoid personal injury or device damage, arrange for at least three persons to carry and install a 2 U disk enclosure.
- If you remove disks to facilitate the movement and installation of the device, record the mapping between each disk and its slot in advance, so you can easily insert each disk back to its correct slot.
- Storage devices must be installed on adjustable guide rails. Stacking devices may damage them.
Procedure
- Slide the disk enclosure into the cabinet and tighten the captive screws to secure it to the cabinet, as shown in Figure 5-32.
- Check that the disk enclosure is horizontally installed and tightly screwed in.
- If more than one disk enclosure is configured, repeat the preceding steps to install the other disk enclosures.
