Install one or more 2145-24F or 2145-12F expansion enclosures
in a rack.
About this task
CAUTION:
- To lift and install the enclosure into the rack requires at least two people.
- Load the rack from the bottom up to ensure rack stability. Empty the rack from the top
down.
Procedure
To install an enclosure, complete the following steps.
- Align the enclosure with the front of the rack cabinet.
- Carefully slide the enclosure into the rack along the rails until the enclosure is fully
inserted (see Figure 1).
Note: The rails are not designed to hold an enclosure that is partially inserted. The
enclosure must always be in a fully inserted position.
Figure 1. Inserting the enclosure
- On either side of the drive assemblies, remove the enclosure end caps by grasping the handle
and pulling the bottom of the end cap free, then clearing the tab on the top of the enclosure.
- Secure the enclosure with a screw in the rack mounting screw hole.
- Reinstall the left and right end caps as shown in Figure 1. The left end cap has indicator windows that align with the status LEDs (light-emitting diodes)
on the edge of the enclosure.
- Ensure that the serial number of the end cap matches the serial number on the rear of the
enclosure.
- Fit the slot on the top of the end cap over the tab on the chassis flange.
- Rotate the end cap down until it snaps into place.
- Ensure that the inside surface of the end cap is flush with the chassis.
