Chapter 5. Performing the hardware installation
You have completed the initial steps of verifying the shipping contents and
becoming familiar with the hardware components. You have verified that the
power and environmental requirements are met and have planned the location of
the enclosures and file modules. You made it safe to add the file modules without
adversely effecting the current Volume IO. You gathered all of the configuration
information that you need for initial setup and initial configuration.
You are now ready to begin installing the file modules and connecting the data
cables and power cords.
Be familiar with the following information
CAUTION:
The weight of this part or unit is between 18 and 32 kg (39.7 and 70.5 lb). It
takes two persons to safely lift this part or unit. (C009)
v Where it is applicable, a CAUTION notice indicates situations that can be
potentially hazardous to you. Before doing a step that contains a caution notice,
read and understand the statement that accompanies it.
v Sliding drawers: Do not pull out or install any drawer or feature (like the file
module) if the rack stabilizer brackets are not attached to the rack. Do not pull
out more than one drawer at a time. The rack might become unstable if you pull
out more than one drawer at a time.
v Fixed drawers: Any fixed drawer (like the Storwize V7000) must not be removed
for servicing unless specified by the manufacturer. Attempting to move the
drawer partially or completely out of the rack might cause the rack to become
unstable or cause the drawer to fall out of the rack.
v Use safe practices when lifting. The fully populated control enclosure weighs
about 57.2 lbs (26 kg). Each file module weights 46.5 lbs (21.09 kg) to 55 lbs (25
kg), depending on the configuration. At least two people are required to lift and
install or to remove either unit from the rack.
v Do not use rack-mounted devices as a shelf or workspace. Do not place any
object on top of rack-mounted devices.
Relocating the enclosures
These instructions guide you through repositioning existing enclosures, if you want
to, in order to accommodate the file modules and make the system conforms to the
recommended layout.
About this task
These instructions cover removing and repositioning the control enclosure and any
additional expansion enclosures in the case where you decide to relocate them.
Make sure that you follow the rack layout plan that you created in the planning
process. Skip to “Installing the support rails for file module slides” on page 81 if
you do not intend to change the location of the storage enclosures in the existing
Storwize V7000 system.
