Installing a DE2-24P Disk Shelf
Use the following procedure to install an Oracle Storage Drive Enclosure DE2-24P,
which requires two standard mounting rack units (2RU), or six rack holes, of
vertical space in the cabinet.
Before You Begin
-
Review Prerequisites for Installation and
Overview of Disk Shelves.
-
To prevent the cabinet from tipping, always load the heaviest equipment,
which are disk shelves, starting from the bottom of the cabinet.
-
To best prepare for cabling disk shelves to controllers, now and in the
future, mount controllers in the middle of the cabinet.
-
Screws are not provided for installation into a cabinet with M6-sized
threaded holes.
| Caution -
This procedure requires a minimum of two people, or a mechanical lift, because
of the weight of the chassis. Attempting this procedure alone could result in
equipment damage or personal injury. Do not lift the chassis using the power
supply handles.
|
-
Extend all anti-tilt and stabilization devices from the bottom of the
rack.
-
Locate the appropriate rack unit (RU) height, which is six rack holes,
starting from the bottom on the cabinet. If your rack is an unthreaded universal
19-inch or Sun Rack II cabinet:
-
Position the front rail location pegs fully inside the appropriate
holes in the front of the rack.
The rail flange must be inside of the cabinet flange, and the rail
label facing the inside of the cabinet.
-
Insert and tighten one screw through the front of the rack and into
the top hole in the rails.
-
Adjust the rail lengths to fit, and position the rear rail location
pegs in the corresponding rear rack holes.
-
Insert and tighten one screw through the back of the rack and into the
back of the rails.
-
If your rack is a threaded universal 19-inch cabinet:
-
Use the T20 Torx driver to remove the rail location pegs from the
front and rear of the rails.
-
Use the supplied wrench to insert two pins into each end of the rails,
in the same location where the location pegs were removed.
-
Position the front of the rails inside the cabinet, with the rail
flange inside of the cabinet flange, and the rail label facing the
inside of the cabinet.
The pins should be fully located within the rack holes.
-
Insert and tighten one screw through the front of the rack and into
the top hole in the rails.
-
Adjust the rail lengths to fit, and locate the rear pins inside the
corresponding rear rack holes.
-
Insert and tighten one screw through the back of the rack and into the
back of the rails.
-
Using a mechanical lift or two people, one at each side
of the disk shelf, carefully lift and rest the shelf on the bottom ledge of the
left and right rails. Do not lift using the power supply with fan module
handles.
-
Carefully slide the shelf into the rails until it is fully seated within the
cabinet. The spotter, using a flashlight, should ensure that the shelf is fully
seated within the rails. If removing the shelf to reseat it, support it at all
times.
-
Install one long patchlock screw per rail to secure the rear of the shelf to
the rear of the rack. If the screw cannot be inserted, the shelf might not be
fully seated within the rails.
-
Remove the front side caps, install one screw into each front side, and
replace the caps.
