Installing 3U16 storage shelves into the rack
Warning:
Inappropriate handling of NetBackup components can result in serious injury, equipment damage, or both. Use appropriate practices, techniques, and tools when handling these components.
The heaviest devices in any equipment rack should be installed in the bottom of the rack. If heavy devices are installed at the top of the rack, the rack may tip over. Injury to personnel and damage to equipment is very possible. The storage shelf is heavier than the appliance. Therefore, you must install the storage shelf in the bottom of the rack. Install the appliance higher in the rack than the storage shelves.
The 3U16 storage shelf is shipped with left and right mounting rails. These rails install in a standard 19-inch rack. The front plates of the rails are marked left and right. Two-inch lips on the bottoms of the rails provide a shelf on which the storage system sits. Extenders that are built into the rails let you adjust the rails for the depth of the rack.
Caution:
Due to the weight of the units, Veritas recommends that storage shelves be installed at or near the bottom of the rack.
Requirements
19-inch equipment rack
Available 3U slot
Six M5 screws (provided)
Six cage nuts (provided)
Number 2 Phillips screwdriver
Flashlight
To install the 3U16 storage shelf guide rails
- Determine the installation positions of the guide rails in the rack.
This list describes the numbered components in the diagram.
1 - Location of a screw on the rear of the storage shelf handle. Insert the screw here to connect the bottom of the rail to the rack. The shelf sits on the ledge of the rail.
2 - Location of a second screw to hold the storage shelf to the rack.
- Locate the left mounting rail in the box in which the 3U16 storage shelf is shipped. The mounting plate at the front end of the rail is marked Front Left.
- Install snap-in cage nuts in the rack as follows:
Locate the M5 snap-in cage nuts in the package in which the storage shelf was sent.
Identify the bottom third of the 3U section in the front and back of the rack where you want to install the storage shelf.
Note:
The mounting rails are 1U high. The holes that are used to secure the rail in the rack are in the middle of that height.
From the inside of the rack, insert snap-in cage nuts in cutouts in the front and back where you want to install the mounting rail. Make sure that the nuts are installed at the same level.
- Orient the left mounting rail so that the lip is at the bottom and on the inside of the rack. You can adjust the length of the rail to fit the depth of the rack.
Note:
The lip on the rail that supports the 3U16 storage shelf must be on the inside of the rack and at the bottom of the rail.
- Align the screw holes in the rail with the snap-in cage nut that you installed in the rack
- Insert M5 screws and tighten. Screws are shipped with the unit.
- Repeat these steps for the right rail. Be sure that rails are installed at the same height.
Caution:
Due to the weight of the units, Veritas recommends that storage shelves be installed at or near the bottom of the rack.
Warning:
A 3U16 storage shelf weighs about 71.7 lbs (32.5 kg). Use appropriate practices, techniques, and tools when handling these components to prevent harm to personnel and equipment.
To install the storage shelf into a rack
- Verify that the guide rails are properly installed and securely fastened in the rack.
- Insert snap-in cage nuts in cutouts on both sides of the front of the rack to secure the storage shelf. The snap-in cage nuts must align with through-holes in top third of each storage shelf when the storage shelf is installed.
- Slide the storage shelf along the mounting rails into the rack cabinet.
- Insert M5 screws in the through-holes in the ears of the front panel and tighten. The through-holes must align with the snap-in cage nuts installed earlier.
