Rack and install
EMC recommends installing the disk processor enclosure (DPE) in the lowest available
location in a cabinet and then installing any optional disk-array enclosure (DAEs) above
the DPE.
CAUTION
The enclosures are heavy and should be installed into or removed from a rack by two
people. To avoid personal injury and/or damage to the equipment, do not attempt to lift
and install an enclosure into a rack without a mechanical lift and/or help from another
person.

Install the DPE rails
Among the DPE components is a rail kit. The rail kit will contain either a set of snap-in
rails or a set of adjustable rails. Either set of rails can be used. To install the rails, follow
the instructions that are specific to the type of rails in the kit.
Installing the DPE adjustable rails
Before you begin
Install the DPE rails first, at the bottom of the space reserved for the system in your
cabinet. The DPE box provides a set of adjustable rails and one bag of screws for the
installation. Those screws are used for both the installation of the rails and attaching the
enclosure to the cabinet. Refer to Figure 1 on page 17.
Note
The front edge of each rail is stamped L or R for left or right side when the rail faces the
cabinet front.
Procedure
1. Locate the 2U adjustable rail kit for the DPE, and identify the rails.
The left rail for the DPE has an electronic connector for the bezel protruding from the
front face.
2. From the front of the cabinet, insert the rail alignment pins into the rear cabinet
channel so that the pins are in the appropriate holes above the bottom U mark for the
2U space for the DPE.
lLeft rail: Alignment pin goes in the 3rd hole from the bottom U mark
lRight rail: Alignment pin goes in the 4th hole from the bottom U mark
3. Extend the left adjustable rail so that it reaches the front channel of the cabinet and
carefully ensure that the electronic connector aligns with and extends through a hole
in the cabinet channel. Check the alignment of the rail to ensure that the front of the
rail is level with the back. Once you are satisfied with the alignment, insert one screw
from the front of the cabinet into the rail's threaded screw hole. .
4. Insert, extend, and attach the right rail in a similar fashion. Secure it to the front
channel using one screw.
5. Secure the rails to the rear channel using two screws (each side), leaving them loose
enough for adjustment when you install the DPE on the rails.

Installing Snap-in Rails
This procedure describes how to install the snap-in rails.
Before you begin
The snap-in rails have key tabs. The key tabs are positioned at the rear of the rails. The
key tabs ensure that the rails are installed in the appropriate 2U space.
Rails are dedicated left and right, and cannot be interchanged. Depending upon the
configuration, the left rail may contain a field bezel cord cover. Rails that have this cover
are installed in the same way.
Procedure
1. Align the 2U key tabs with the holes of the U-space in the rear rack channel.
Rack and install

Figure 2 Aligning the Key Tabs
CL5578
2. Holding the rail extended, push the key tabs and the adaptors into the rear mounting
holes until the spring clips snap into place on the outside of the rear rack channel.
Figure 3 Aligning the Rear Adaptors
CL5579
3. Pull the rail forward and align the adaptor with the mounting hole on the front rack
channel. Make sure the rail is level.

4. Push in on the spring clip while pulling forward on the rail. When the spring clip is
forward of the front rack channel, and the adaptor is in the mounting holes, release
the spring clip so it holds the rail in place.
CAUTION
Make sure the spring clip is securely attached to the channel. It may be necessary to
push in on the clip to assist in snapping it into place.
Figure 5 Securing the Spring Clips
CL5582
5. From the rear of the rack, secure the rail in place using one M5 screw.

6. Repeat for the other rail.
Install the disk processor enclosure
There are two types of DPE(s). Each is 2U. One utilizes 3.5" disks, while the other utilizes
2.5" disks. The installation procedure is identical, no matter which one you have in your
system. Each DPE contains dual storage processors.
