Figure 17 Installing 3U DAE rails
Install the DAE
1. Slide the disk-array enclosure (DAE) into the DAE rails in the cabinet. Ensure that the
enclosure is fully in the cabinet. The rail stops in the back will seat into the back of the
enclosure at the correct depth, and the front of the enclosure will be flush with the cabinet
face.
2. When the DAE is in place, insert and tighten all of the screws. It may be easier to install the
screws working in a diagonal pattern, such as bottom left and top right, bottom right and top
left.
3. Repeat, as appropriate, with other DAEs.
