installed.
Installation in a Rack
STEP
Configuration Guide (Basic)
The center of gravity must be taken into consideration to prevent a rack from toppling over. The controller
enclosure and drive enclosures should generally be installed from bottom to top to lower the center of gravity
and to ensure the safe use of racks.
IMPORTANT
2. Install and fasten the controller enclosure or the drive enclosure in the rack.
1. Attach the rack rails to the rack.
The size of the controller enclosure and each drive enclosure is 2U.

Various cables need to be connected to the ports on the rear of the ETERNUS AF.
Rear viewCable
●MNT port
A port that is used to connect to an operation management LAN. Before connecting to the operation
management LAN, change the IP address of the MNT port in the Setup Network Environment settings.
●RMT port
A port that is used for initial setup or to connect to the remote support center.
Cable Connection
STEP
To help with cable management and prevent incorrect connection, attach labels to the cables and make a note
of connection origins and destinations.
Point
●The cables should never be bent, twisted or pulled.
●Some cables have static-sensitive electronic components. Wear an anti-static wrist strap or touch a metal
part to discharge the static electricity on your body before starting each operation. Failure to discharge static
electricity before touching the connectors may cause a device failure.
