Use the following procedure to install an Oracle Storage Drive Enclosure DE2-24C, which requires four standard mounting rack units (4RU), or twelve 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 three 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. |
Square-hole unthreaded cabinet - No preparation.
Round-hole unthreaded cabinet - Remove the screws from each rail end and discard. Locate the screws for round-hole cabinets and place aside.
Threaded cabinet - Remove screws and replace them in the opposite direction (from the inside of the rail flange) so they act as location pins. Also remove the clip nut from each front rail end and discard.
Square-hole unthreaded cabinet - The screw heads fit inside the rack holes.
Round-hole unthreaded cabinet - Install two screws through the rack and into the front of each rail. Do not install into the cage nut in the rack, or the clip nut on the rail.
Threaded cabinet - The location pins fit inside the rack holes.
