Installing the Capacity Kit
Rack Positions
For the lower couplet within the rack, the first capacity
kit should be installed with one enclosure just below
the couplet in rack positions 5 and 6, and the other
enclosure just above the couplet in rack positions 15
and 16. As you add capacity kits, install the kit
enclosures immediately above and below the existing
capacity enclosures; do not leave any gaps between
enclosures.
For the upper couplet within the rack, install the first
capacity kit with one enclosure in rack positions 21
and 22, and the other enclosure in rack positions 35
and 36. Install additional capacity kits immediately
above and below the existing capacity enclosures in
the same manner as for the lower couplet.
Installing the Enclosures into the Rack
WARNING! To reduce the risk of personal
injury or damage to the equipment, before
installing equipment be sure that:
•The leveling jacks are extended to the floor.
•The full weight of the rack rests on the
leveling jacks.
•The stabilizing feet are attached to the rack
if it is a single-rack installation.
•The racks are coupled together in
multiple-rack installations.
•Only one component is extended at a time.
A rack may become unstable if more than
one component is extended for any reason.
WARNING! The enclosure weighs
33.6 kg (74 lb) full. At least two people are
required to lift, move, and install the enclosure.
If only one person is to perform the installation,
remove the power modules and hard drives from
an enclosure before installing it, and if possible
position it on top of another device or shelf in
the rack to hold it as you attach all the brackets.
CAUTION: Make sure that the rack and all
equipment mounted in the rack has a reliable
ground connection. Verify that the total current
of the rack components does not exceed the
current rating of the power distribution unit or
outlet receptacles.
Parts can be damaged by electrostatic
discharge. Keep parts in their containers until
needed. Ensure that you are properly grounded
when touching static sensitive components.
When positioning an enclosure in the rack,
ensure the air vents at the front and back of the
enclosure are not blocked.
To install the capacity kit into the rack:
1. Install the side brackets onto the enclosures using
the instructions provided with the rack mounting
hardware kit.
2. Remove the blanking plates at the appropriate
rack positions. You may find it easier to work if
you remove several of the surrounding blanking
plates as well.
3. Install the rails into the rack using the instructions
provided with the rack mounting hardware kit.
The kit recommends installing components from
the bottom to the top of the rack; disregard those
