Steps for Mounting an Array in a Rack

Step 1: Determine Where to Place the Mounting Rails in the Rack

Ensure sufficient space in the rack for a 4U chassis, which spans 12 post holes.

Step 2: Remove the Bezel

Remove the array chassis from the shipping box and place it on a sturdy surface. Unlock and release the bezel latch.

Step 3: Remove the Power Supply and Cooling Modules

Remove the three power supply and cooling modules to lighten the array for easier rack installation.

Step 4: Attach the Mounting Rails to the Rack Posts

Attach the left and right mounting rails to the appropriate rack posts using provided or suitable screws.

Step 5: Slide the Chassis into the Rack

Extend telescoping sections of the rails, lift the chassis with assistance, and slide it onto the mounting rails carefully.

Step 6: Attach the Chassis Cover to the Rail Flanges

Unlock the chassis, pull the front panel out, and attach the chassis cover to the front rail flanges.

Step 7: Install the Disk Drives

Handle disk drives carefully. Insert drives into slots with latches towards the rear, ensuring proper seating and latch engagement.

Step 8: Install the Bezel

Fit the bezel into the chassis, push until it engages, and lock it using the bezel key.

Step 9: Install the Power Supply and Cooling Modules

Orient power supply modules with the socket towards the bottom, slide them into slots, and secure by closing the handles.

Step 10: Install the Cable Management System

Attach cable management wire assemblies to the rear chassis flange and rack rails to organize cables.
