Step 1. Preparing the Rack
Make sure there is ample space in back of the rack to fully open the rack door (approximately 3 feet) for installation and cabling. Make sure you have enough room in front of the rack to install disk enclosures (approximately 3 feet).
Step 2. Installing the Cache Retention Unit (CRU)
The install kit for the CRU contains the parts and instructions you need to install the CRU. Follow the instructions in the CRU install kit.
Step 3. Installing a Disk Enclosure
Ciprico ships a generic disk enclosure install kit that contains the parts needed to attach the enclosure slide rails to the disk enclosure and the stationary flange mounts in the rack.
Install the disk enclosure from the front of the rack.
