Chapter 4. Installation
Installation checklist
This chapter shows how to plan for and successfully install your enclosure system into an industry
standard 1.2 m rack cabinet.
CAUTION: To install the system, use only the power cords supplied, or power cables that match
the specication quoted in AC power cords/universal jumper cords.
The following table outlines the steps required to install the enclosure. To ensure successful installation,
perform the tasks in the order presented. For rackmount installation, temporarily place all disk drive
modules in a static-protected area, and then install them after the Model 106 is installed in the rack.

1. The environment in which the enclosure operates must be dust-free to ensure adequate airflow.
2. Locate the disk modules and temporarily place them in a static-protected environment for population
of the disk bays once the enclosure is installed and secured into the rack.
3. Removing CRUs before rack-mounting is not necessary, but can be done to lighten the enclosure. See
removal and installation steps for individual CRUs. If you temporarily remove the CRUs, label them and
place CRUs and disk modules in a static-protected environment.
Note: The environment in which the enclosure operates must be dust-free to ensure adequate airflow.
