Installing 2U12 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.
Be sure to install all 2U12 shelves after 3U16 are installed closest to the appliance.
Weight: 28 kg (62 lbs)
Height: 8.89 cm (3.5") (approximately 2U)
Width: 48.3 cm (19")
Depth: 63.0 cm (24.8")
There must be a minimum depth of 76 cm (30 in.) between the front of the rack and the rear of the rack. Veritas recommends that two people install the rails; one person at the back of the rack and one at the front. Veritas also recommends that two people lift and place the storage shelf into the mounted rails.
To install storage shelf rails
- Identify the front and the rear of each rail. The following illustration shows the front of the left-hand and the right-hand rails. Red arrows show the pins that fit into the rack.
- Align the rails with the rack holes. Be sure to use the same holes on each side of the rack.
- Place the left rail inside the rack. Extend the front and back of the rail to fit into the rack.
- Secure the front pins (1) and the rear pins (3).
- Insert the screw (2) in the front of the rail. Do not over-tighten the screws.
- Repeat for the right rail.
- Install the storage shelf from the front of the rack.
- Use two people to lift the shelf.
- Slide the rear of the shelf into the front of the rails. Be sure that the shelf is straight and even inside the rack. Do not force the shelf to fit.
- Carefully push the shelf towards the rear of the rails.
- Remove the cap from the left and the right sides of the front of the shelf, if they are attached.
- Insert one screw into the front of the rack, on both sides of the shelf.
- Replace the end caps or attach the bezel to the front of the shelf.
