Chapter 3. Before you begin the installation
This topic contains a set of instructions to help you unpack your shipping order
and install your system. The first steps involve verifying your order, becoming
familiar with the hardware component terminology, and ensuring that you have
met the environmental requirements.
Before you begin installation make sure that:
1. You have read the planning information regarding your physical environment.
2. The cables are ready for installation.
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)
Be familiar with the following information
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 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 enclosure weighs about 57.2
lbs (26 kg). At least two people are required to lift and install the enclosure into
the rack or to remove an enclosure 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.
Tools needed
A Phillips screwdriver is the only tool needed for the system installation.
Reviewing your packing slip
After you open your box or boxes, locate your packing slip. Ensure that the items
that are listed in your packing slip match what is in the box. Ensure that any
optional items that you ordered are included in the list. Your shipment might
contain additional items depending on the order.
