Important!
If the rack has round holes, install the provided square-hole adapter
as shown at right.
.
Note that cabinet rack holes are not evenly spaced. To ensure that
the thumbscrews align correctly, align the rack at the border of a unit.
The middle rails attach to the front posts. The outer rails attach to the
back posts.
a. Align the upper hook of the rail at the position you want.
b. Press the rail into the post and slide it down to lock it in position.
c. Repeat steps a and b on the other side. (See diagram 4c.)
Slide the array into the rack.
a. Insert the chassis into the rack, back side rst.
b. Gently slide the chassis into position.
When you hear a click, the inner rails have locked into the rail
assembly.
CAUTION!
The chassis weighs over 34 kg (76 lb). Always use two people or
a server lift when lifting the chassis.

Important!
For failover to operate correctly, cable the same port on each controller into the SAME switch and subnet. Ensure that:
• Both controllers are connected to the network.
• iSCSI initiators have a network path to both controllers.
Connect one member of each interface pair to the same switch. If your switches have multiple subnets congured, make sure that each
interface pair is connected to switch ports on the same subnet.
See the “Install the Nimble Array” chapter in the Nimble Storage Installation Guide.
CAUTION!
Start-up current draw may exceed 6A.

Apply power.
Plug one power cord from each controller into a separate circuit and apply power. If the power
does not come on automatically, press the power button ( ) on the front of the array.
Secure the array chassis to the rack.
The chassis has two handles. Each handle has a screw that secures
the chassis so it does not slide out of the rack.
Tighten the screw in each handle.
