into a rack and to cable it to a server.
Before you begin
vThis information is provided in printed form as a list of basic tasks for installing the 58/88 PCIe
storage enclosure. For the most current version, use the online information: Installing the 5888 PCIe
storage enclosure.
vThis procedure supports the following installation scenarios:
– Your 58/88 PCIe storage enclosure was delivered already mounted in a rack, and you need to
complete the installation.
– Your 58/88 PCIe storage enclosure was delivered separately from a rack, and you need to mount the
enclosure in an existing rack and complete the installation.
Note: If the rack is not yet installed, you must first complete the procedure for Installing the rack.
vBefore installing the PCIe storage enclosure into a rack, read the Rack safety notices.
About this task
To install the 58/88 disk drive enclosure, complete the following tasks:
1. Choose the type of installation you are performing:
vTo complete the installation of a 58/88 PCIe storage enclosure that was delivered already mounted
in a rack, go to step 2.
vTo complete the installation of a 58/88 PCIe storage enclosure that was delivered separately from a
rack, go to step 3 on page 4.
2. Remove the shipping brackets attached at the front and rear of the PCIe storage enclosure as follows:
a. At the rear of the rack, find the 58/88 PCIe storage enclosure at the EIA location that you noted
previously. Using a screwdriver, remove the two screws (A) that attach the rear shipping bracket
(B) to the left and right flanges of the rack frame as shown in the following figure. Use the
screwdriver provided in the installation kit to remove the six screws (C) that attach the rear
shipping bracket (B) to the rear of the PCIe storage enclosure. Lift the bracket away from the rack
frame.
Tip: Save all of the brackets and screws that you have removed for any future reinstallation and
for shipping of the 58/88 PCIe storage enclosure that might be required.

Go to step 7 on page 11.
3. Unpack the PCIe storage enclosure as follows:
a. Refer to the kitting list provided with the rack installation kit, and complete a parts inventory.
b. Locate the rack-mounting hardware kit and the system rail assemblies that were included with
your PCIe storage enclosure.
The rails are front-to-back and left-to-right side dependent.
4. Determine where to install the PCIe storage enclosure into the rack as follows:
a. Determine where in the rack to place the PCIe storage enclosure in relation to other system
hardware. As you plan, keep the following steps in mind:
1) Organize larger and heavier units into the lower part of the rack.
2) Plan to install units into the lower part of the rack first.
3) Record the EIA locations in your plan.
Note: The PCIe storage 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 enclosure, therefore, is 44.50 mm (1.75 in.) high and covers 3 mounting holes in the
rack.
b. If necessary, remove the filler panels to allow access to the inside of the rack enclosure where you
plan to place the PCIe storage enclosure.
Figure 1. Removing the rear shipping bracket
4Power Systems: Installing the 58/88 PCIe storage enclosure

c. If necessary, remove the front and rear rack doors.
d. Mark the rack location where you will install the PCIe storage enclosure. Choose one of the
following options:
1) If you have a rack-mounting template, use it to mark the location.
2) If you do not have a rack-mounting template, complete the following steps:
a) Face the front of the rack and work from the left side. Make a note of the EIA unit to be
used for the PCIe storage enclosure. Use tape, a marker, or a pencil to mark the middle
mounting hole (A) of the EIA unit. Place another mark beside the bottom mounting hole
(B). Mark the rack so that these marks can also be seen from the rear of the rack.

5. Install the rail assembly into the rack as follows:
Important: To complete this procedure, use two people to attach the rail assembly to the rack.
Position one person in front of the rack and one person at the rear of the rack.
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.
a. Facing the front of the rack, locate the two marks made previously on the Electronic Industries
Alliances (EIA) strips.
Notes:
vThe rail installation can be completed by one person. However, the installation is easier if one
person is positioned at the front of the rack and one person is positioned at the rear of the rack.
vIf hardware is located immediately below the EIA location where you are installing the rails,
you can slide the hardware out to its service position to provide more work space for the
installation.
b. Select a rail. Identify the side of the rack where the rail must be mounted by holding the rail
inside of the open space of the rack as follows:
vThe rail points from front to rear.
vThe tension clip (A) points toward the front of the rack and aligns with the bottom EIA hole
that you marked previously, as shown in Figure 4 on page 7.
vThe rail shaft is aligned with the inside edge of the front rack flange with its open side facing
inward.
c. Bend the tension clip (A) up and insert it into the bottom EIA hole that you marked previously, as
shown in Figure 4 on page 7. Ensure that the lip of the clip is brought fully through the hole and
clasped against the bottom of the hole. Seat the alignment screw (B) in the middle EIA hole that
you marked previously.
Note: There are two sizes of alignment screws (B). If your rack has round mounting holes, use the
smaller alignment screw for each rail. If your rack has square mounting holes, use the larger
Figure 3. Marking the installation locations
