Safety Information
Do not operate devices or handle cables on a stormy day.
To avoid eye injuries, do not look into the optical outlets without eye protection.
Arrange for at least three persons to carry and install a fully configured enclosure to avoid
personal injury or device damage.
Do not wear an ESD wrist strap during power-on to avoid electric shocks.

1 Installation Preparations
2 U controller enclosures support two types of disks, 12-slot 3.5-inch disks and 24-slot 2.5-inch disks.
For information about the full list of required components, see the Packing List. The bag containing the
Packing List is attached to the surface of the box.

The following installation tools are required:
Phillips screwdriver (M3 to M6)
Flat-head screwdriver (M3 to M6)
Diagonal pliers
Floating nut mounting bar
A storage system power failure may cause devices connected
to the same circuit breaker to power off unexpectedly.
Therefore, ensure that the storage system power supplies have
functioning circuit breakers with the following amps:
AC power: 16 A

Recommended installation positions
2a Planning device installation positions
Total required cabinet space = 2 U + 2 U x (Number of 2 U disk enclosures) + 4 U x (Number of 4 U disk
enclosures)
Note: The height of the storage system is measured by the unit of U. 1 U equals 44.5 mm (1.75 inches).
Tips
Install the controller
enclosure in the middle of an
empty 42 U cabinet, namely
between the 15 U mark and
the 18 U mark.
Be certain to next install
other devices below the
controller to prevent the
cabinet from becoming
top heavy.

The adjustable guide rails are 600 mm (23.64 in.) to 900 mm (35.46 in.) long. They are designed to fit into
cabinets with depth ranging from 800 mm (31.50 in.) to 1100 mm (43.34 in.).
The adjustable guide rails are preconfigured with positioning pins applicable to square holes only. For
round holes, replace the positioning pins.
Two paired adjustable guide rails must be positioned exactly parallel to one another.

Scenario 1 Installing a controller enclosure and an
ordinary disk enclosure
To avoid device damage, do not stack any
components but install them onto guide rails.
Install a disk enclosure onto the guide rails
using the same method as installing the
controller enclosure.
(1) Install the inner rail.
(4) Installing the system enclosure.
(2) Mount the high-density disk enclosure.
(3) Installing a cover.

2f Installing a cable manager
Cable managers are used for housing cables of high-density disk enclosure. Each high-density disk enclosure
has one cable manager.
(1) Insert the cable manager into the ball bearing guide rails and the high-density disk enclosure.
(2) Use a Phillips screwdriver to fasten M6 screws to secure the cable manager.
