This chapter provides the component names of the ETERNUS AF.
1.1Controller Enclosure
An operation panel and drives are installed in the front of the ETERNUS AF (controller enclosure). Controllers
and power supply units are installed in the rear.
1.1.1Front
This section provides the names of the components in the front of a controller enclosure.
2.1 Power Distribution Unit Installation (for Regions other than the EMEIA, Central American, and Caribbean Regions)
If the storage system is installed at the bottom of a rack, a space for the surplus of cables may not be
•
available in some racks, preventing the storage system from being pulled out when maintenance work
is required. In this case, secure a space of 1U or more at the bottom when installing the storage system.
To install an enclosure, power distribution units, power synchronized units, and UPS units in a single
•
rack, mount the devices in the following order (from bottom to top).
2.1Power Distribution Unit Installation (for Regions other than
the EMEIA, Central American, and Caribbean Regions)
This section describes how to install the power distribution unit in a rack.
2.1 Power Distribution Unit Installation (for Regions other than the EMEIA, Central American, and Caribbean Regions)
2.1.2Installing Power Distribution Unit (2U)
This section explains how to install a 2U power distribution unit (12 outlet type or 16 outlet type) in a rack.
This section explains how to install a 12 outlet type power distribution unit as an example. This installation method can also be applied to a 16 outlet type power distribution unit.
1Attach the M5 cage nuts to the rear rack pillar.
• Attachment positions
On either side, insert eight M5 cage nuts in the 1st, 3rd, 4th, and 6th holes above the power distribution unit base line.
• Attachment procedure
Clip the M5 cage nut tabs into the desired hole from the inside.
Loosen the M4 screws to
adjust the length of the
rack rails to match the
distance between the
front and rear rack pillars.

Chapter 2 Rack Installation
2.2 Controller Enclosure Installation (for Regions other than the EMEIA, Central American, and Caribbean Regions)
2.2Controller Enclosure Installation (for Regions other than the
EMEIA, Central American, and Caribbean Regions)
This section describes how to install the controller enclosure in a rack.
1Adjust the sizes of the rack rail (for left side) and the rack rail (for right side) to fit the rack.
Loosen the M4 screws to adjust the length of the rack rails to match the distance between the front and
rear rack pillars. Leave the M4 screws slightly unscrewed, as the rack rails must be attached to the rack
before they can be completely tightened.
2Attach the rack rails to the rack.
Use the two plates to fasten the rack rails to the front rack pillars. Use the washers to fasten the rack
rails to the rear rack pillars.
2.2 Controller Enclosure Installation (for Regions other than the EMEIA, Central American, and Caribbean Regions)
Make sure to attach the rack rails to rack pillars so that they fit exactly together without any space
between them.
3Tighten the M4 screws of the rack rails that were slightly unscrewed in Step 1.
The M5 screw positions for the rack rails are determined by the controller enclosure base line.
Insert the M5 screws in the 1st and 6th holes on the front rack pillars above the base line and in the
2nd and 5th holes on the rear rack pillars above the base line to fasten the rack rails.
