3.2 Plan for Rack Position
When unpacking and assembling a multi-rack ClusterStor L300 and L300N system, carefully plan the order to
unpack and assemble the racks.
The base rack (either as a stand-alone shipment or part of a system) is identified with “R1” & “BASE,”.
Storage racks installed in manufacturing test alongside the base rack are numbered sequentially "R2" to "Rn"
where n is the highest number that was physically installed with the base rack at the factory, as shown.
Storage racks that were not installed or tested with the base rack are numbered sequentially, following the last
base rack install number. SSUs are also labeled accordingly for each rack.
11
IMPORTANT: To determine which storage racks were built with the base rack and which were not and
other configuration information, refer to the Storage Configuration Document (SCD) shipped with the
system.

About this task
How to install disks in a ClusterStor L300 and L300N 5U84 enclosure (SSU).
IMPORTANT: Disk drives are labeled and they must be installed in the exact order and in the exact slots
where they were installed at the factory.
Typically, 5U84 enclosures are shipped empty and must be populated at installation, particularly the lower two
enclosures in a rack, which must be populated before safely moving the rack from the bottom of the ramps to its
final destination.
There are two methods of loading disks: using the speedloader device, which loads seven disks at once to speed
disk population, and the manual method, which loads one disk at a time. Both methods are described in this
procedure.
CAUTION:
● EQUIPMENT OVERHEATING
● All drive slots must have a disk drive carrier module or a dummy carrier module installed to maintain a
balanced airflow.
CAUTION:
● EQUIPMENT DAMAGE OR PERSONAL INJURY
● To ensure rack stability, open only one drawer in a 5U84 (SSU) enclosure at a time. Do not open
multiple drawers at the same time.
CAUTION:
● EQUIPMENT DAMAGE
● Observe ESD precautions when handling this equipment. Failure to do so can result in equipment
damage.
Procedure
1. Refer to the packaging documentation to locate the marked carton containing the drives for the target 5U84
enclosure.

Install Disk Drives in a 2U24 Enclosure
Prerequisites
● A disk drive has failed and has been removed from the 2U24 enclosure
● A T10 Torx screwdriver may be required to unlock the drive carrier
About this task
Disk drives in the 2U24 enclosure are installed at the factory and do not need to be installed during a
system installation. This procedure is for reference only.
CAUTION:
● EQUIPMENT OVERHEATING
● All drive slots must have a disk drive carrier module or a dummy carrier module installed to maintain a
balanced airflow.
CAUTION:
● EQUIPMENT DAMAGE
● Observe ESD precautions when handling this equipment. Failure to do so can result in equipment
damage.
Procedure
1. If the disk drives are already installed in the 2U24 enclosure, skip this procedure.
2. Remove the disk drive in its drive carrier from its anti-static protective package.
3. Verify that the drive carrier handle is released and in the open position.
A T10 Torx screwdriver may be required to unlock the drive carrier.
4. Insert the drive carrier module into the desired empty drive slot in the enclosure.
Drive slots are numbered 0 through 23, from left to right.

Cable the External Power Connections
Prerequisites
All ClusterStor L300 and L300N system racks have been positioned in their permanent locations.
About this task
All internal cable connections in the ClusterStor L300 and L300N system are made at the factory when the
components are installed in the rack. Only a few external cable connections are needed when the system is
installed at the customer site. This section covers primarily facility power and power cord connections.
See Cable Inter-rack Local Management Network (LMN) on page 36 for the cabling steps and diagrams for
connecting the system into the customer environment.
IMPORTANT: Power connections within a ClusterStor L300 and L300N system should be considered
carefully, as the loads are large. Where possible, balance the load equally across all 3 phases.
WARNING:
● Serious Injury or Equipment Damage
● Always perform a ground (earth) continuity and insulation test after completing the hardware
installation and prior to powering on the system.
NOTE: Depending on the installation, each PDU power cord may be routed out of the top of the rack
cabinet, or out of the bottom into the sub-floor system, and then connected to the appropriate facility
power connection.
The PDUs must be inverted to feed the power through the top of the ClusterStor L300 and L300N rack. Note that
the power sockets are always numbered from the top down; therefore, although the numbering may visually seem
incorrect, the power sockets do have the correct number assignments.
