Installing the storage shelf into a rack
The storage shelf should be installed from the front of the rack with the control panel on the left side of the shelf.
Note:
The hardware must be powered on in the expected order. Else, all the storage may not be seen by the appliance.
To install the storage shelf into a rack
- Align the storage shelf to the rails and slide it in, rear side first, until the screws on the front of the storage shelf are tight with the front flanges of the rails.
- Tighten the thumbscrews on the storage shelf until they stop.
- (Optional) There are 2 hook and loop straps included in the kit. They can be used to hold SAS and power cables that enable connectivity to Power Distribution Units (PDU) and the Compute Node. Push both of the ends of the straps through the slots in the rear of the rails.
- Gather the power and or SAS cables and wrap the straps around the cables. Ensure there is some slack in the cables to ensure a consistent insertion into the receptacles.
