Installation Guide

Installing the appliance in a rack cabinet

Use the following basic steps to install your appliance in a rack cabinet:

1. Refer to your appliance and rack documentation for detailed installation information.

   Note:

   Removing rack doors and side panels make it easier to install the appliance.

2. Use the rack installation template that comes with the 5Ux24D Tower-to-Rack Kit to mark the holes on your rack cabinet for cage nuts or clip nuts, according to your rack installation.

   Note:

   The rack installation template contains full instructions to complete appliance installation. The procedure steps are repeated here in case your template is not available. See Figure 17 for cage nut or clip nut locations on the front (release latch retaining screws (C) and slide rails (D)) and rear (slide rails (A) and cable-management-arm hinge bracket (B)) of your rack.

3. Use the pins (A) on the slide rail to align the slide rail to the rack; then, use four M6 screws (two in front and two in the rear) to secure the rail to the rack.

   Note:

   Install the left and right slide rails before continuing with the installation.

4. Install the cable-management arm assembly:

   Figure 19. Assembling and installing the cable-management arms
   

   1. Secure the hinge bracket (A) to the right rear of the rack, below the slide rail, with two M6 screws.
   2. Connect the other end of the cable-management arm assembly to the right slide rail with one hinge pin (B).

      Note:

      You must position the cable-management arms as shown in Figure 19.

5. Extend both slide rails all the way out of the rack.

   Note:

   When the slide rails are fully extended, safety latches lock the rails into place. To release the safety latches, press them in toward the appliance.

   Caution:
   Use safe practices when lifting.

6. Lift the appliance above the slide rails; then, rest the rack-support wheels (A) on the rear of the slide rails.

   Figure 20. Placing the appliance on the slide rails
   

   Carefully lower the front of the appliance onto the slide rails.

   Note:

   Be sure that the bracket notches (B) on the front of the appliance fit securely on the tabs (C) located on the front of the slide rails.

7. Use four M4 screws per side to secure the appliance to the slide rails; then, remove the rack-support wheels and store them for potential future use.

8. Connect all appliance and device cables; then, route them along the cable-management arm assembly and secure them to the arm with the cable straps (A) that come with the 5Ux24D Tower-to-Rack Kit.

9. Slide the appliance fully into the rack until the left and right release latches (A) engage on the slide rails.

10. Install the M6 appliance retaining screws (B) to provide added stability to your appliance, especially if you are moving the rack or the rack is located in a vibration-prone area.
11. Switch on the appliance. The appliance will automatically reconfigure the moved drives.

    Note:

    If the appliance does not configure the drives correctly, switch off the appliance and follow these steps: Connect a keyboard and monitor to the appliance. This allows the prompts for configuring the SCSI drives to appear. Switch on the appliance. When the reconfiguration prompt appears, press F6. After the power-on is completed, shut down and switch off the appliance. Disconnect the display and keyboard.

The 5Ux24D Tower-to-Rack Kit installation is complete.
