Lenovo 8332 manual Installing the enclosure in a rack, Rail kit assembly, Enclosure installation

CAUTION:

Operation of the enclosure system with any modules missing will disrupt the airflow and the drives will not receive sufficient cooling. It is essential that all openings are filled before operating the unit.

Installing the enclosure in a rack

A set of rack-mounting rails is provided with the system for installing the SMC - Storage Array in a 48.26-cm (19-inch) rack cabinet. These rails have been designed and tested to handle the maximum weight of the enclosure and to ensure that multiple enclosures may be installed without loss of space within the rack. Use of other mounting hardware may cause some loss of rack space.

Contact your supplier to ensure suitable mount rails are available for the rack you are using.

Rail kit assembly

Refer to the Rail Kit Installation Guide for instructions on assembling the rail kit.
