Prerequisites for Installation
■
Sun Rack II 1042/1242 cabinet
■
Any 19-inch wide, 4-post, EIA-compatible rack or cabinet with a front-to-back depth
between vertical cabinet rails of 61 cm to 91 cm (24 in. to 36 in.). The cabinet can have
threaded or unthreaded cabinet rails. Threaded cabinets must be M6 or 10-32 cabinets.
Cabinets must be able to support the weight of all equipment contained within them.
Use one of the following racks for a Sun Disk Shelf:
Note - Position the rack where the shelf is to be installed adjacent to the rack where the
controller is installed, if separate. Stabilize the cabinet and lock the casters.

Sun Rack II 1042/1242 cabinet
■
Any 19-inch wide, 4-post, EIA-compatible rack or cabinet with a front-to-back depth
between vertical cabinet rails of 61 cm to 91 cm (24 in. to 36 in.). The cabinet can have
threaded or unthreaded cabinet rails.
To install a disk shelf, you need the following tools:
■
A Phillips-head No. 2 screwdriver that is a minimum of 4 inches long.
■
A T20 Torx driver, if using a threaded cabinet (DE2-24P).
■
A mechanical lift is highly recommended because the chassis can be too heavy to lift
otherwise. At least three people are required: two to install the shelf and one spotter to
engage the rails.
Note - For DE2-24 disk shelves, if a mechanical lift is not available, you can remove the
power supply with fan modules to reduce the weight. See “Servicing the Disk Shelves” in
Oracle ZFS Storage Appliance Customer Service Manual for instructions.
■
A flashlight for the spotter to ensure the shelf is engaged in the rails.
To install a controller, you need the following tools:
■
No. 2 Phillips screwdriver
■
ESD mat and grounding strap
■
Pencil, stylus, or other pointed device, for pushing front panel buttons
■
Optional mechanical lift
You also need a system console device, such as one of the following:
