Mounting the array

Please read all of the following safety information before mounting an array
in a rack. More detailed safety instructions are included at the beginning of
this chapter.
'
NOTE: Rack rails should be installed in the rack by qualified personnel
before installing the array.
CAUTION! Do not block the vent holes in the rack or any of the
units. Without adequate cooling, the array may overheat or fail.
Install the array so that the air intakes and the air exhaust remain clear.

CAUTION!
elevator until the red line on the label affixed to the subsystem
enters the rack across the end of it. Otherwise, the subsystem may fall.
WARNING!
• Be careful when lifting the array, especially if it is being installed high
up in the rack. It could cause serious injury or damage if it falls.
• Hitachi Data Systems recommends using mechanical lifting equipment
to help install the array. However, the equipment should be operated
only by trained and qualified personnel.
• When using a mechanical lift to help install the array, do not move the
lift away from the rack or lower the elevator until the red line on the
label attached to the aray is inside the rack. Otherwise, the array may
fall.
• When lowering the elevator on a hydraulic lift, open the valve slowly. If
you open the valve quickly, the elevator could drop rapidly and may
cause personal injury.
• When a mechanical lift is not available, use at least three people to
install the array into the rack.
• Work carefully when positioning, fastening, or performing any other
operations on the array. The base unit weighs 112 lbs (51 kg), the
RKAK expansion unit weighs 88 lbs (40 kg). and the RKAKS expansion
unit weighs 23 kg. Whenever possible, install the base units near the
bottom of the rack. This helps to prevent the rack from falling over.
To mount the array in a rack:
1. Lift the array only up to the height needed to mount it in the rack.
2. Adjust the position of the array so that it is centered between the rack
rails and vertically aligned to the rails onto which it will be mounted.
3. Gently slide the array onto the rails in the rack.
Do not move the lifter away from the rack or lower the
