Attaching the Rails in the Rack
Note: When installing items in your rack, follow industry-standard recommendations,
including:
■ Locate the heaviest items, such as uninterruptable power supplies (UPS) and
additional storage enclosures near the bottom of the rack.
■ Locate the MSA1000 near the bottom of the rack, but high enough to easily read
the LCD panel on the front of the unit.
■ Install the hard drives into the MSA1000 and storage enclosures after installing the
MSA1000 and enclosure chassis into the rack.
1. Use the instructions provided on the rack template to mark the rack for rail
locations.
