Before you begin your installation

Rules for installing the appliance in a rack

You need to observe the following rules and restrictions when installing your storage appliance in a standard 19-inch (48.26 cm) telco equipment rack with mounting rails:

You must work with another person.
WARNING
The storage appliance is extremely heavy. To avoid injuring yourself or damaging the appliance, you must work with at least one other person when you install the storage appliance in the rack.
Install the storage appliances in the lowest available slots in the rack.
WARNING
Install the equipment from the bottom up when installing it in a movable rack. This helps prevent the rack from tipping over and seriously injuring you or someone else.
If you have any empty disk drive bays, the proper slot cover must be installed over the empty slot to ensure proper air flow and cooling.
