Introduction
Introduction
This section lists the EMC® VNXe™3300 system enclosures currently supported in Telco
rail self-supporting racks (Telco racks) and provides an illustration of a typical rack.
VNXe3300 system devices
EMC offers Telco rack mounting kits for the following VNXe3300 system devices.

Device placement guidelines
EMC VNXe™3300 System Hardware Installation Guide for Telco Racks 5
Device placement guidelines
Before attaching the mounting trays to the Telco rack, you must decide where to put them.
Where you install the devices depends on the kinds of devices that you will install.
Position in rack Devices with internal cooling fans that move air from front to back (or vice versa) and not
from beneath or above have no special cooling requirements that direct placement in the
rack. All of the storage systems and enclosures mentioned in this document have fans
that move air from front to back.
DAEs should be installed above DPEs to facilitate cable routing in the rear of the Telco
rack.
Device dimensions Dimensions and weights for VNXe3300 system devices are listed in the
Technical
Specifications and Operating Limits
document for the system, available on the EMC
Online Support website at:
http://www.emc.com/vnxesupport
Power considerations
Power distribution must support the number of outlets required for the device (2 per
enclosure) and the device power rating. Power specifications for VNXe series system
components are listed in the
Hardware Overview document for each system, available on
the EMC Online Support website at:
http://www.emc.com/vnxesupport
For high availability, a VNXe3300 system requires at least two discrete site power circuits.
Each power supply or power/cooling module in an enclosure should connect to a separate
power distribution unit and power source; power supplies in any component should not
share a power source.
Figure 2 on page 6 shows an example AC power connection configuration.

Installing VNXe3300 DPE mounting trays
This section describes how to install the front and rear DPE mounting trays on the Telco
rack.
Note: Be sure to allow enough room to install all the DAEs above the DPE.
For ease of installation, use a screwdriver with at least a 10 in. long shaft. To satisfy the precise
tolerances of the holes, hand-tighten screws until all components are in place to allow for
adjustment.
Installing the
VNXe3300 DPE front
tray
1. Align the screw holes on the outer edges of the DPE front tray with the holes on the
rack.
2. Secure the tray to the rack with six #10-32 x .5 in. long screws, three per side. Select
the most widely spread holes on the front tray that line up with holes on the rack. See
Figure 4.

4. At the back of the enclosure, attach the two rear fastening brackets to the rear corners
of the enclosure tray. See Figure 7 on page 11.
Insert one #10-32 x .5 in. long screw through each screw hole of the rear fastening
bracket and through the rear tray enclosure, but leave the screws loose enough for the
bracket to slide along the tray rail. Repeat this step for the other side.
5. Slide the brackets into the aligned notches in the DPE chassis and secure them. See
