Figure 1 Open shipping container contents
2. Open the top of the box and remove the smaller box that contains the Accessory Kit. Inspect the
Accessory Kit box for shipping damage.
3. Remove the foam tray from the carton and inspect the enclosure for shipping damage. Figure 3.2 on
page 31 shows the enclosure ready to be removed from the packaging.
HEAVY OBJECT: This system weighs approximately 116.1 kilograms (256.0 pounds) when all 102 drives,
two PSUs, and two IOMs are preinstalled at the factory. (This weight does not include the container
weight.) A fully loaded system weighs 124.7 kilograms (275.0 pounds) with the rails and CMA installed.
Prevent personal injury and equipment damage. Obtain assistance during rack installation and when
sliding the system in or out of the rack.
4. Remove the protective foam sheet and lift the enclosure from the packaging using the lift straps
shown in Figure 1.3. Use of a forklift or lift table is recommended. Always obtain assistance lifting
the enclosure from the container.

WARNING: The handles mounted on the front of the enclosure are designed only for the
purpose of extending the enclosure from the rack into the serviceable position. They will
not support the entire weight of the enclosure. Do not attempt to lift the enclosure by the
handles, They will break and damage to the enclosure and/or personal injury may occur.

5. If installed, remove the enclosure’s components to minimize enclosure weight during rack installation.
Place all components on an anti-static surface until the enclosure is installed in the rack and
ready to have the components reinstalled.

To remove a drive carrier assembly from the enclosure, follow these steps. (When removing a drive carrier, it is
not necessary to remove any drive carrier containing a drive blank, or to remove a drive from the carrier.)
Press the release catch (see Figure 3.6 on
page 35) on the drive carrier in the direction of
the imprinted arrows—pointing to the rear of
the enclosure—to release the handle into the
open position.

Installing ONYX Series Expansion Enclosure Rail Kit
Each rail kit has two components: one left rail and one right rail. When properly installed, the rail kit’s chassis member
(bolted to the sides of the enclosure) slides inside the rail kit’s cabinet member (bolted to the rack).
The rail kit includes:
•One left adjustable rack mounting rail, engraved “L”.
•One right adjustable rack mounting rail, engraved “R”.
•Two mounting plates
•22 Phillips® M5 X 10 flat head screws
•12 ø5.1 washers
•Four M5 cage nuts
•Four M5 X 13 screws
Installing the Cabinet Members into the Rack
Install the cabinet members into the standard 19-inch (48.3-centimeter) rack as follows.
1. Adjust the length of the left cabinet member rail to match the depth of the rack.
NOTE: R (right) and L (left) are marked on the outside of the adjustable rack mounting rails
to indicate the appropriate placement.
2. Align the rail to the desired position on the front and rear left rack post.
3. Secure the left rear cabinet member rail to the rear left rack post by inserting the stag (prongs) into the post.
4. Secure it in place using four M5 X 10 screws and four M5 conical washers.
5. Place the mounting plate onto the left front rack post, aligning the top screw hole with the rail.
6. Verify the rail is level.
7. Insert one of the M5 cage nuts into the square rack hole immediately above the rail as shown in Figure 1.4.
Figure 1.4 Right front mounting plate and rail
8. Insert a second M5 cage nut into the square rack hole immediately below the rail, also shown in Figure 3.10.
9. Secure the mounting plate and left cabinet member rail onto the front left rack post using five of the M5 X 10
flat head screws. Figure 3.10 on page 39 demonstrates a properly installed right front mounting plate and rail.
10. Repeat steps 1 through 9 to secure the right cabinet member rail to the front and rear right rack posts.
Rail kit installation is complete. Install the enclosure into the rack.
INSTALLING THE ENCLOSURE INTO THE RACK
To install the VDS41022 JBOD Enclosure into the rack, follow these steps:
NOTE: The rail kit supports a 68.6-centimeter (27-inch) to 81.3-centimeter (32-inch) rack
depth. The enclosure depth is 92.7 centimeters (36.5 inches) without the CMA, and 100.0
centimeters (39.4 inches) with the CMA installed.
1. Fully extend the cabinet member rails.
HEAVY OBJECT: This system weighs approximately 116.1 kilograms (256.0 pounds) when all
102 drives, two PSUs, and two IOMs are preinstalled at the factory. (This weight does not
include the container weight.) A fully loaded system weighs 124.7 kilograms (275.0 pounds)
with the rails and CMA installed. Prevent personal injury and equipment damage. Obtain
assistance during rack installation and when sliding the system in or out of the rack.
WARNING: The handles mounted on the front of the enclosure are designed only for the
purpose of extending the enclosure from the rack into the serviceable position. They will not
support the entire weight of the enclosure. Do not attempt to lift the enclosure by the
handles, They will break and damage to the enclosure and/or personal injury may occur.
2. With a second person or lift table to assist in supporting the enclosure, align the inner chassis member rails
(attached to the enclosure) with the extended cabinet member rails.
3. Insert the inner chassis member rails into the extended cabinet member rails.
4. Push the enclosure into the rack until the rails lock in the serviceable position, indicated by an audible click.
5. With the enclosure installed in the serviceable position, reinstall the enclosure components.

Figure 1.5 Power and Mini-SAS HD cables connectivity
2. Connect the provided power cables to both the 1U appliance and the expansion enclosure as shown in the red boxes.
3. Connect power cables from each power supply module to power sources.
4. Make sure to secure the power cables to the power supply modules so that they can not be pulled out accidentally.
5. Connect the Ethernet cables to the Ethernet ports as shown in the blue boxes
1. Power on any network switches, routers, or other standalone components.
2. Power on the expansion enclosure.
1. The storage enclosure does not contain a power button. Power is controlled by the two
power cords that plug into a power distribution unit (PDU). Fans, drives, IOMs, PSUs,
and 5V regulators are hot-swappable and do not require the system power to be shut
down during replacement.
3. Power on the ONYX Series chassis by pressing the power button on the front of the system.
