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 (DEx-24P).
■
A mechanical lift is highly recommended because the chassis can be too heavy to lift
otherwise. For DE3-24P and DE2-24P disk shelf installation, at least two people are
required: one at each side of the disk shelf. For DE3-24C and DE2-24C disk shelf
installation, at least three people are required: one at each side of the disk shelf and one in
front.
Note - For DEx-24 disk shelves, if a mechanical lift is not available, you can remove the
power supply with fan modules to reduce the weight. For instructions, refer to “Servicing
the Disk Shelves” in Oracle ZFS Storage Appliance Customer Service Manual.
■
A flashlight for the spotter to ensure the shelf is engaged in the rails.
