Using the Mounting Hole Numbers in
the RPM
This section provides the information you need to use the mounting hole numbers
provided in the Rackmount Placement Matrix (RPM) when you are installing a Sun
StorEdge D2 array.
Vertical mounting space is defined in rack units (RUs). Sun StorEdge D2 arrays are 4
RU units high. One RU equals 1.75 in (4.44 cm), which is the total of the distances
between the repeating pattern of the mounting holes that make up one RU: .5 in
(1.27 cm) + .625 in (1.59 cm) + .625 in (1.59 cm). RU boundaries are in the center of
the holes that are spaced .5 in (1.27 cm) apart. The hole spacing for a single RU is
illustrated at the lower right of FIGURE 1.
FIGURE 1 Cabinet Hole and RUs, Spacing and Numbering
The hole numbers start with 1 at the bottom and are stamped on the metal in
increments of 10 (as illustrated in FIGURE 1). Holes in the metal mounting rails at the
front, the back, and the sides of the cabinet all have the same numbers. Also as
shown in FIGURE 1, the arrays are installed from the bottom of the cabinet up.

A table in the RPM gives the number of RUs in each Sun cabinet. For example, the
Sun StorEdge Expansion Cabinet is a 36 RU cabinet, with space for up to nine Sun
StorEdge D2 arrays.
TABLE 4 is an example from the RPM showing the mounting holes to use when
installing Sun StorEdge D2 arrays in a Sun StorEdge Expansion Cabinet. See the
RPM for other tables that list mounting holes for installing these arrays in other
qualified cabinets.
TABLE 4 Holes for Mounting Sun StorEdge D2 Arrays in Sun StorEdge Expansion
Cabinets
The column headings in TABLE 4 are explained in the following list:
■Array
Numbers corresponding to the order of installation of the arrays. Installation
proceeds from the bottom of the cabinet up (as indicated in FIGURE 1), with 1
being the first array, 2 being the second, and so on.
■Mounting Brackets to Cabinet
Hole numbers to use when installing the screws that secure the mounting
brackets to the cabinet.
For an illustration of the screws that secure the mounting brackets, see “To
Connect the Mounting Brackets to a Cabinet” on page 7.
■Tray to Cabinet
Hole numbers to use when installing the screws that secure the tray to the cabinet

▼To Connect the Mounting Brackets to a Cabinet
Use an 8 in lb torque Philips screwdriver to start the holes. Tighten the screws with
an 18 in lb torque driver.
Have the Rackmount Placement Matrix table handy that applies to your cabinet.
Note – The mounting brackets are identical, and they can be installed in either side
of the cabinet. Install the brackets from the bottom of the cabinet to the top.
1. Remove the front panel or door from the cabinet.
2. Remove the vented rear door from the cabinet.
Refer to the cabinet’s documentation for how to perform the first two steps.
3. Attach the mounting brackets using the designated holes in the brackets and the
designated holes in the cabinet’s rails.
Insert the screws through the designated holes in the brackets shown in FIGURE 4
into the rail holes.
For the appropriate rail hole numbers, see the “Mounting Brackets to Cabinet”
column in the table from the RPM that applies your cabinet.
For example, when installing the brackets for the first array in a Sun StorEdge
expansion cabinet, you would put the screws into the rail holes numbered 12 and the
8, which are assigned to Array 1 in the following row from TABLE 4.
a. Loosely thread four 10-32 x 1/2 in screws through the bracket into the holes
with the same number on the front and back rails on both sides of the cabinet.
Insert each screw into the highest-numbered hole specified in the “Mounting
Brackets to Cabinet” column. When installing the first array in a Sun StorEdge
Expansion cabinet, you would insert one screw through the left bracket into hole
12 on the front mounting rail and another screw through the same bracket into
hole 12 on the back rail. Then on the right side of the cabinet you would insert
two more screws through the right mounting bracket into the corresponding rail
holes numbered 12.
