Arrange for at least three persons to carry and install an enclosure to avoid personal injury or device damage.
Before you handle devices, wear ESD clothes, a pair of ESD gloves, or an ESD wrist strap and remove
conductive objects such as ornaments and watches.
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.

1c Checking components
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
DC power: 32 A
1 Installation Preparations
Only materials involved in the installation process are listed here. The Packing List contains all materials required by the installation. The bag
containing the Packing List is attached to the outside of the carton.
Each controller of the OceanStor 5300 V3 is equipped with four 1 Gbit/s iSCSI host ports. Each controller enclosure of the OceanStor 5500
V3 is equipped with four smartIO host ports that do not support IP scale-out networking. In the following sections of this document, the
installation procedure is described using the OceanStor 5500 V3 as an example. The procedure for install the OceanStor 5300 V3 is similar.

Recommended 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 44.45 mm (1.75 inches).
Tips
Install the devices from
bottom up and from heavy
to light.

NOTE

Installing guide rails
2d
The adjustable guide rails are 600 mm (23.62 in.) to 900 mm (35.43 in.) long.
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 3
Installing bearing guide rails for a high-density disk enclosure
(2) Remove a rail support.(1) Pull out the inner rail of the ball bearing guide rails.
(3) Loosen the screws and adjust the length of the ball
bearing guide rail to be the same of the cabinet depth. (4) Install the ball bearing guide rails.

(6) Installing a ball bearing guide rail bracket.
(7) Check the installation of the ball bearing guide rails.ng Hardware Installation
Check the distance between the left and right guide rails, and
ensure that the two templates can snatch into the ball bearing
guide rails.
Check that the ball of the ball bearing guide rail has been
placed at the most front end of the middle rail.
Check that the edges of the middle rail and external rail are
at the same vertical plane.
(5) Fasten screws.

Scenario 2 Installing a high-density disk enclosure
(1) Install the inner rail. (3) Install a cover.
Scenario 1 Installing a controller enclosure and an ordinary disk enclosure
Install a disk enclosure onto the guide rails
using the same method as installing the
controller enclosure.
(4) Install the system enclosure.
(2) Mount the high-density
disk enclosure.
When mounting the high-density disk enclosure, place the side step in the rear of the high-density disk
enclosure on the front bracket of the ball bearing guide rails, and slide the disk enclosure into the cabinet
along the ball bearing guide rails (no manual alignment is required because the inner rail automatically
connects to the middle rail).
2e Installing storage devices into the cabinet
To avoid device damage, do not stack any components but install them onto guide rails.
If you remove controllers and disks to facilitate the movement and installation of the device, record the mapping
between each component and its slot in advance. That helps insert each component back to its correct slot after
the movement and installation. If the controller is inserted into a different location, a system power-on failure may
occur.

2f Installing a cable tray
(1) Insert the cable tray 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 tray.
(3) Install the spring pins to cable trays to secure the cable tray.
