Rack-Mount Subsystem Assembly

This section provides the instructions for assembling the rack-mount BSU into a standard EIA 19-inch rack cabinet. To assemble the rack-mount DEU into a standard EIA 19-inch rack cabinet, see the 3U DEU User's Guide (part number 456-01541-000).

Before You Begin

Before you begin, please review the following cautions, warnings, and general guidelines.

!WARNING

Be sure that power to the system is turned off and unplugged. All voltage is removed only when the power cords are unplugged.

!Avoid excessive vibration and shock. Dropping an electronic component can cause serious damage.

!Do not disconnect or remove parts other than those specified in the procedure.

!Do not touch I/O connector pins.

!All screws are Phillips-head, unless otherwise specified.

!On completion of any assembly or reassembly, perform a power-on test. If a fault occurs, verify that the assembly or reassembly was performed correctly. If the problem persists, see "Problem Solving" in Chapter 5.

Static Precautions

An electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage disk drives, option boards, and other components. You can provide some ESD protection by wearing an antistatic wrist strap attached to chassis ground when handling system components.

Electronic devices can be easily damaged by static electricity. To prevent damage, keep them in their protective packaging when they are not installed in your system.
