3. Carefully slide the enclosure into the rack along the rails until the enclosure is
fully inserted.
Notes:
a. The preinstalled rails on the sides of the enclosure must fit into the
rack-mounted rails that you previously installed.
b. The rails are not designed to hold an enclosure that is partially inserted.
The enclosure must always be in a fully inserted position.
c. Do not have more than one enclosure extended out of the rack at the same
time to avoid the danger of the rack toppling over.
4. Insert a screw into the hole behind each enclosure end cap and tighten the
screw, as shown in Figure 7.
5. After matching each end cap's serial number to the serial number found on the
rear of each enclosure, push the end caps back into position.
6. Repeat this procedure for each additional enclosure that you install.
Connecting the SAS cables
This topic describes the general cabling guidelines for attaching SAS cables when
