Installing Disk Shelves
This section contains installation procedures for Oracle Storage Drive Enclosure DE3-24,
DE2-24, and Sun Disk Shelves.
Before beginning installation, review the prerequisites and appropriate hardware overview in
Installation Prerequisites and Hardware Overviews. For disk shelf placement within the rack
and other considerations, see Cabinet Configuration Guidelines.
Use the following procedures to install disk shelves:
• Installing an Oracle Storage Drive Enclosure DE3-24P Disk Shelf
• Installing an Oracle Storage Drive Enclosure DE3-24C Disk Shelf
• Installing an Oracle Storage Drive Enclosure DE2-24P Disk Shelf
• Installing an Oracle Storage Drive Enclosure DE2-24C Disk Shelf
• Installing a Sun Disk Shelf
Installing an Oracle Storage Drive Enclosure DE3-24P Disk
Shelf
Oracle Storage Drive Enclosure DE3-24P requires two rack units (RUs), or six rack holes, of
vertical space in the cabinet.
Before You Begin
• Review Prerequisites for Installation and Overview of Disk Shelves.
• To prevent the cabinet from tipping, always load the heaviest equipment, which are disk
shelves, starting from the bottom of the cabinet.
• To best prepare for cabling disk shelves to controllers, now and in the future, mount
controllers in the middle of the cabinet.
• Screws are not provided for installation into a cabinet with M6-sized threaded holes.
Caution:
This procedure requires a minimum of two people, or a mechanical lift, because of
the weight of the chassis. Attempting this procedure alone could result in equipment
damage or personal injury. Do not lift the chassis using the power supply handles.
1. Starting at the bottom of the cabinet, locate the appropriate rack unit (RU) height.
2. Unpack the contents of the disk shelf rail kit box, and identify the correct cage nuts for
your rack type.
