32Chapter 5 Installation of 5U enclosures
l
Make your approach with the mechanical lift level, straight, and parallel to the rack cabinet. Any skew,
warp, or tilt prevents the storage enclosure from properly resting on the rackmount shelf in the rack cabinet.

To mount the 5U enclosure into the rack cabinet:
1. Confirm that the outer rails are properly and securely installed in the rack cabinet.
2. Confirm that the storage enclosure does not contain any drives, so the chassis has empty drawers.
3. Complete the following actions to position the mechanical lift and the 5U chassis:
a. Using proper safety precautions, position the 5U chassis on the mechanical lift perpendicular to the lift
wheels.
b. Move the mechanical lift into position perpendicular to the rack cabinet so that the storage enclosure is
parallel to the opening and is a minimum of 12.7cm to 17.8cm (5 to 7 inches)away from the rack cabinet.
c. Adjust the mechanical lift height to be as close as possible to the allocated 5U location.
d. Moving only the 5U chassis, position it so the chassis aligns with the outer rails in the rack.
