Unpack the Hardware
Unpack the contents and inventory the contained hardware against
the packing slip. Read through all the instructions before proceeding.
Install the Rails
See the enclosed document,
Installing SuperRail into a four-post rack
for instructions on how to install the rails.
NOTE: For square hole cabinets, you must first
install the provided cage nuts to secure the front
and rear of the shelf with screws.
Install the Shelf
Secure the Shelf
Insert screws into the first and third holes from
the top of the shelf on both sides to secure it to
the front of the cabinet.
Place two back brackets on each side of the
upper rear section of the shelf. Insert screws
into the first and third holes of each bracket to
secure the back of the cabinet.
Install the Drives
Starting at the front left slot of the top drawer, install each drive by gently
positioning into the drive slot and lowering the raised drive handle until it
clicks into place.
Wrap the strap end of the ESD wristband around your wrist, and
secure the clip end to a metal ground to prevent static discharges.
NOTE: If you are installing fewer than 60 drives, if you have
solid-state drives (SSDs), or if your drives have dierent capacities:
Maintain a minimum of 20 drives per shelf. Install drives in the front four
slots in each drawer first, for adequate airflow for cooling.
Distribute any remaining drives across the drawers. If possible, install an equal
number of each type of drive in each drawer to allow for the creation of
Drawer Loss Protected volume groups or disk pools.
Distribute any SSDs evenly across the drawers.
Supporting the shelf from the bottom, slide it into the
cabinet. If the lift handles are used, remove them one
set at a time as the shelf slides into the cabinet.
To remove the handles, pull back on the release latch,
push down, then pull away from the shelf.
If lifting the shelf by hand, attach the four lift handles.
Push up on each handle until it clicks into place.

CAUTION: Confirm the drive shelf power switches are o.
Turn on the two power switches on the controller shelf.
Check the LEDs and seven-segment display on each controller.
During boot, the seven-segment display shows the repeating
sequence of OS, Sd, blank to indicate the controller is
performing start-of-day processing. After the controller
has booted up, the shelf ID is displayed.
Connect the two power cables for each shelf to dierent
power distribution units (PDUs) in the cabinet or rack.
If you have drive shelves, turn on their two power switches
first. Wait 2 minutes before applying power to the
controller shelf.
