Installing a disk enclosure in a cabinet
2-3
Installing a DAE2P/DAE3P
Interconnections between disk enclosures should maintain LCC 
consistency; that is, one Fibre Channel (FC) loop should interconnect 
all and only the LCC As, and the other Fibre Channel loop should 
interconnect all and only LCC Bs.
Connect all cables at both ends, or remove unused cables completely 
from the host or LCC ports. An unused (dangling) cable may cause 
excess noise on the bus.
Installing a disk enclosure in a cabinet
Each disk enclosure mounts on two L-shaped rails that connect to the 
cabinet’s vertical channels.
◆ The Cabinet Setup Guide for the 40U-C Cabinet ships with standard 
EMC cabinets, and explains how to unpack and install the cabinet 
itself.
◆ The EMC Rails and Enclosures (CX3-Series Storage Systems) Field 
Installation Guide is available on your support website. It explains 
how to install universal mounting rails in the cabinet, and how to 
install the enclosure on those rails.
Warnings and 
recommendations 
The cabinet in which you will install the disk enclosure(s) must have 
a full earth ground to provide reliable grounding. Also, the cabinet 
should have its own switchable power distribution. We suggest that 
you use a cabinet that has dual power distribution units, one on each 
side.
WARNING
The enclosure is heavy and should be installed into a rack by two 
people. To avoid personal injury and/or damage to the equipment, do 
not attempt to lift and install the enclosure into a rack without a 
mechanical lift and/or help from another person.
L’armoire étant lourde, sa mise en place sur une rampe nécessite deux 
personnes. Afin de ne pas vous blesser et/ou endommager le matériel, 
n’essayez pas de soulever et d’installer l’armoire sur une rampe sans 
avoir recours à un relevage mécanique et/ou à l’aide d’une autre 
personne.
