Procedure

Set the hardware, which is shown in Figure 22 on page 40, aside for use later in the installation
process.

Important notes:
When you select a rack location, ensure that the enclosure and its parts are easily accessible. Allow
enough space for the lid to be easily removed and for internal components, such as drives and
secondary expansion modules, to be serviced.
