４Installation
Perform the installation safely by reading the following safety precautions.
Mounting the disk array unit and the disk enclosure on the rack
Step 1
・The disk array unit weighs 48 kg; the disk enclosure (with a 3.5-inch disk drive), 29 kg.
・Mount the disk array enclosure and the disk array unit, top-down, in the indicated order.
・Mounting the unit on the rack should be performed by two or more persons working together.
・See the “Disk Array Unit Installation Guide”.
“NEC Storage M700 Disk Array Unit User’s Guide”, 3-2-1 Mounting a Disk Array unit on a Rack
“NEC Storage M700 Disk Array Unit User’s Guide”, 3-2-2, Mounting a Disk Enclosure on a Rack
“NEC Storage M700 Disk Array Unit User’s Guide”, 3-2 Installation
Step 2 Installing the disk drive
・On each disk drive, affix a location label.
・Disk drives are electronic devices.
・As system disks, install three disk drives, in locations 00, 01, and 02.
When handling a disk drive, take anti-static measures, such as wearing a wrist strap.
On each disk drive, affix a system disk label. Do not remove more than one drive at a time.
・Store the removed dummy carrier in a safe place.
Install the disk drive if it is not already mounted on the disk array unit or the disk enclosure.
