Rack installation guidelines
Review the documentation that came with your rack cabinet for safety and cabling information. Before
you install the storage subsystem in a rack cabinet, review the following guidelines:
vTwo or more people are required to install devices 18 kg (39.7 lb) or heavier in a rack cabinet.
vMake sure that the room air temperature is below 35°C (95°F).
vDo not block any air vents; usually 15 cm (6 in.) of space provides proper airflow.
vDo not leave open spaces above or below an installed storage subsystem in your rack cabinet. To help
prevent damage to storage subsystem components, always install a blank filler panel to cover the open
space and to help ensure proper air circulation.
vInstall the storage subsystem or expansion enclosure only in a rack cabinet with perforated doors.
vPlan the device installation starting from the bottom of the rack cabinet.
vInstall the heaviest device in the bottom of the rack cabinet.
vDo not extend more than one device out of the rack cabinet at the same time.
vRemove the rack doors and side panels to provide easier access during installation.
vConnect the storage subsystem or expansion enclosure to a properly grounded outlet.
vDo not overload the power outlet when you install multiple devices in the rack cabinet.
vThe storage subsystem or expansion enclosure requires2Uofvertical space in the rack cabinet.
Use safe practices when lifting.

Statement 4:
≥18 kg (39.7 lb) ≥32 kg (70.5 lb) ≥55 kg (121.2 lb)
CAUTION:
Use safe practices when lifting.
To unpack the storage subsystem or expansion enclosure, complete the following steps:
1. With the help of one other person, remove the storage subsystem or expansion enclosure from the
shipping box and place it on a cart, table, or other raised surface.
2. Check the storage subsystem or expansion enclosure to make sure that you received all the necessary
parts. See the “Inventory list” on page 2 section for the parts that are included with the storage
subsystem or expansion enclosure.
3. Take the left and right support rails and the M5 screws and proceed to “Installing the support rails”
on page 4.

Installing the support rails
Notes:
1. For proper weight distribution, install the support rails from the storage subsystem ship group in the
lower portion of the rack cabinet.
2. If you are installing a storage subsystem, make sure that you allow for room above and below the
storage subsystem for storage enclosures.
3. The support rails are marked “R” and “L” for right and left.
To install the left and right support rails in the rack cabinet, complete the following steps.
1. Starting with the left support rail, loosen the two rail adjustment screws. The adjustment screws are
used to lock the support rails at a certain length.
2. Hold the front of the left support rail against the inside of the front rack cabinet support flange, and
extend the rear of the support rail until it makes contact with the rear rack cabinet support flange.
The alignment spacers at the rear of the support rail slide into the holes at the rear of the rack cabinet,
as shown in Figure 2.
Note: If the rack has square holes, replace the small spacers on the front and rear of the rails with the
larger spacers that came with the rail kit.
3. From the front of the rack cabinet, with the support-rail flanges positioned inside the rack cabinet
support rail assemblies, tighten one M5 screw in the second hole from the top of the rail bracket with
a screwdriver, as shown in Figure 3 on page 5.

Note: Make sure that you use a washer when you install an M5 screw through a square hole on a
rack-mounting flange.
4. From the rear of the rack cabinet, tighten two M5 screws in the bottom hole and the hole second from
the top of the rear rail bracket with a screwdriver.
Note: Make sure that you use a washer when you install an M5 screw through a square hole on a
rack-mounting flange.
5. Repeat steps 2 on page 4 through 4 for the right support rail.
Removing the storage subsystem or expansion enclosure components
Remove the controllers or ESMs, hot-swap drives, and the power supply and fan units before you lift the
storage subsystem or expansion enclosure. This reduces the weight of the DS3500 or EXP3500 during
installation. Each component in the back of the DS3500 and EXP3500 is held in place by a lever that has a
locking latch.
To remove the components, complete the following steps.
Note: The DS3500 storage subsystem and the EXP3500 expansion enclosure use the same power supply,
so the same removal procedure applies to both.
