Several options are available for placing the Oracle MaxRep Replication Engine in the rack based on the number of Replication Engines that must be installed.
First, install the Drive Enclosures starting from the bottom of the rack. The amount of RU space used by the Drive Enclosures varies by the number of Replication Engines that must be installed.
If only one Replication Engine must be installed in the rack, install the Drive Enclosures until the 16 RU slot is reached.
After the 16 RU slot is reached, if the next Drive Enclosure to be installed is a 2U DE2-24P Drive Enclosure, install the DE2-24P Drive Enclosure into the rack at 17 RU and 18 RU. Then, install the Replication Engine at 19 RU and 20 RU.
After the 16 RU slot is reached, if the next Drive Enclosure to be installed is a 4U DE2-24C Drive Enclosure, install the Replication Engine at 17 RU and 18 RU.
If two Replication Engines must be installed, install the Drive Enclosures until the 14 RU slot is reached.
After the 14 RU slot is reached, if the next Drive Enclosure to be installed is a 2U DE2-24P Drive Enclosure, install the DE2-24P Drive Enclosure into the rack at 15 RU and 16 RU. Then, install the first Replication Engine at 17 RU and 18 RU and install the second Replication Engine at 19 RU and 20 RU.
After the 14 RU slot is reached, if the next Drive Enclosure to be installed is a 4U DE2-24C Drive Enclosure, install the first Replication Engine at 15 RU and 16 RU. Then, install the second Replication Engine at 17 RU and 18 RU.
If three Replication Engines must be installed, install the Drive Enclosures until the 12 RU slot is reached.
After the 12 RU slot is reached, if the next Drive Enclosure to be installed is a 2U DE2-24P Drive Enclosure, install the DE2-24P Drive Enclosure into the rack at 13 RU and 14 RU. Then, install the first Replication Engine at 15 RU and 16 RU. Install the second Replication Engine at 17 RU and 18 RU. Install the third Replication Engine at 19 RU and 20 RU.
After the 12 RU slot is reached, if the next Drive Enclosure to be installed is a 4U DE2-24C Drive Enclosure, install the first Replication Engine at 13 RU and 14 RU. Install the second Replication Engine at 15 RU and 16 RU. Install the third Replication Engine at 17 RU and 18 RU.
If four Replication Engines must be installed, install the Drive Enclosures until the 10 RU slot is reached.
After the 10 RU slot is reached, if the next Drive Enclosure to be installed is a 2U DE2-24P Drive Enclosure, install the DE2-24P Drive Enclosure into the rack at 11 RU and 12 RU. Then, install the first Replication Engine at 13 RU and 14 RU. Install the second Replication Engine at 15 RU and 16 RU. Install the third Replication Engine at 17 RU and 18 RU. Install the fourth Replication Engine at 19 RU and 20 RU.
After the 10 RU slot is reached, if the next Drive Enclosure to be installed is a 4U DE2-24C, install the first Replication Engine at 11 RU and 12 RU. Install the second Replication Engine at 13 RU and 14 RU. Install the third Replication Engine at 15 RU and 16 RU. Install the fourth Replication Engine at 17 RU and 18 RU.
Then, install the Pilots above the Replication Engines.
Then, install the Controllers immediately above the Pilots.
Then, install the remaining Drive Enclosures above the Controllers.
Finally, install filler panels in all available RU spaces in the rack.
