Chapter 2
Rack Installation
This chapter describes the procedure for installing the ETERNUS DX (controller enclosure) in a rack.
Make sure to check "Safety Precautions" before starting the installation. Also refer to the rack manual.
Do
•Wear a wrist strap or touch a metal part to discharge the human body's natural
static electricity before starting each operation. Failure to discharge static electrici-
ty may cause failure in the ETERNUS DX.
•If components are installed in a way other as described in this section, damage
and/or device failure or electrical shock may occur.
•Do not install the ETERNUS DX in the rack with cables, such as power cords, connec-
ted.
•The ETERNUS DX contains delicate components, and should be handled gently. Do
not drop or knock the ETERNUS DX against the rack when installing it. Also, do not
knock the other devices installed in the rack.
•The center of gravity must be taken into consideration to prevent a rack from top-
pling over. Enclosures should generally be installed from bottom to top to lower
the center of gravity and to ensure the safe use of racks.
Do Not
•Do not uninstall the drives that are installed by default or move them to any other
slot.
Contact your sales representative or maintenance engineer if drives that are instal-
led by default need to be uninstalled or moved to another slot.

•If the storage system is installed at the bottom of a rack, a space for the surplus of cables may not be
available in some racks, preventing the storage system from being pulled out when maintenance work
is required. In this case, secure a space of 1U or more at the bottom when installing the storage system.
•To install an enclosure, power synchronized units, and UPS units in a single rack, mount the devices in
the following order (from bottom to top).

2.1 Controller Enclosure Installation (for Regions Other than
EMEA&I)
This section describes how to install the controller enclosure in a rack.
1Adjust the sizes of the rack rail (for left side) and the rack rail (for right side) to fit the rack.
Loosen the M4 screws to adjust the length of the rack rails to match the distance between the front and
rear rack pillars. Leave the M4 screws slightly unscrewed, as the rack rails must be attached to the rack
before they can be completely tightened.
Loosen the M4 screws to
adjust the length of the
rack rails to match the
distance between the
front and rear rack pillars.

4Install the controller enclosure in the rack.
Do
•When installing or removing the controller enclosure to or from the rack,
make sure that the sides and the bottom of the controller enclosure are held
by two or more people. Failure to do so may cause injury.
5Fasten the controller enclosure in the rack.
Use three M5 screws to fasten it in the rack pillar.
