This section contains the safety information as well as the tools and information required for installing Oracle ZFS Storage Appliance disk shelves and controllers.
Read the following sections before beginning installation:
To understand the security issues relevant to initial installation of the Oracle ZFS Storage Appliance, refer to the Oracle ZFS Storage Appliance Security Guide, Release OS8.8.0.
Take the following precautions when installing disk shelves and controllers into a rack.
Before you begin installation, read the Safety Agency Compliance Statements section in the Safety and Compliance Guide for your controller.
For safety reasons, mount the heaviest equipment, typically disk shelves, at the bottom of the rack. For rack-mounting guidelines, refer to the Safety and Compliance Guide for your controller.
Always load equipment into a rack from the bottom up so that it will not become top-heavy and tip over. Deploy the anti-tip bar to prevent the rack from tipping during equipment installation.
Ensure that the temperature in the rack will not exceed the equipment's maximum ambient rated temperatures. Consider the total airflow requirements of all equipment installed in the rack to ensure that the equipment is operated within its specified temperature range.
Always use the width spacer alignment tool when installing rails into racks that use cage nuts and mounting screws. Failure to use the spacer can cause the glides and sliders to jam and damage the rail.
Do not remove a component if you do not have an immediate replacement. The disk shelf must not be operated without all components in place.
Do not lift a disk shelf by the handles on the power supply with fan modules; they are not designed to take the weight.
Use one of the following racks for a DEx-24 disk shelf:
Oracle Rack Cabinet 1242
Sun Rack II 1042/1242 cabinet
Any 19-inch wide, 4-post, EIA-compatible rack or cabinet with a front-to-back depth between vertical cabinet rails of 61 cm to 91 cm (24 in. to 36 in.). The cabinet can have threaded or unthreaded cabinet rails. Threaded cabinets must be M6 or 10-32 cabinets. Cabinets must be able to support the weight of all equipment contained within them.
Use one of the following racks for a Sun Disk Shelf:
Sun Rack 900/1000 cabinet
Sun Fire cabinet
Sun StorEdge Expansion cabinet
Sun Rack II 1042/1242 cabinet
Any 19-inch wide, 4-post, EIA-compatible rack or cabinet with a front-to-back depth between vertical cabinet rails of 61 cm to 91 cm (24 in. to 36 in.). The cabinet can have threaded or unthreaded cabinet rails.
To install a disk shelf, you need the following tools:
A Phillips-head No. 2 screwdriver that is a minimum of 4 inches long.
A T20 Torx driver, if using a threaded cabinet (DE2-24P).
A mechanical lift is highly recommended because the chassis can be too heavy to lift otherwise. At least three people are required: two to install the shelf and one spotter to engage the rails.
A flashlight for the spotter to ensure the shelf is engaged in the rails.
To install a controller, you need the following tools:
No. 2 Phillips screwdriver
ESD mat and grounding strap
Pencil, stylus, or other pointed device, for pushing front panel buttons
Optional mechanical lift
You also need a system console device, such as one of the following:
Workstation
ASCII terminal
Terminal server
Patch panel connected to a terminal server
