About this document

This document describes how to install an M6412 drive enclosure into a cabinet as part of an EVA4400
storage array. The drive enclosure installation may be performed while the array is in operation.

NOTE: You can only add one disk enclosure online at a time.

Before you begin

Read the following warnings and cautions before installing the drive enclosure.

WARNING! Make sure that the rack is sufficiently stable. If provided, lower the cabinet leveler feet

and make sure any required stabilizers are installed. If provided, extend the rack anti-tip device. Failure
to extend the anti-tip device could result in personal injury or damage if the cabinet tips over.

CAUTION:

• Make sure that the cabinet and all equipment mounted in the cabinet have a reliable ground

connection. Verify that the total current of the cabinet components does not exceed the current
rating of the power distribution unit or the power distribution modules.

• Parts can be damaged by electrostatic discharge. User proper anti-static protection. For additional

information, see the documentation that shipped with your system.

The cabinet rail kit supplied with the drive enclosure comes configured for square-hole cabinets. If you
need to convert the rails for a round-hole cabinet, perform the following steps:

IMPORTANT: Do not remove the pins from the ends of the cabinet rails unless you are converting

the rails for use in round-hole cabinets. These load-bearing pins are designed to fit through the holes
without being removed.

1. Locate the bag of eight round-hole pins that is included in the cabinet rail kit.

2. Use a No. 2 Phillips screwdriver to remove the standard pins from the front and back of the left
and right rails (four on each rail). See Figure 2 (page 4).

3. Attach the round-hole pins into the eight holes on the rails where the standard pins were removed.

To attach the rails to the cabinet:

NOTE: The designation of left and right rail is made when looking at the front of the rack. The rails

are marked by an R (right) and L (left) stamped on the metal.

1. Insert the rear end of the right rail into the inside back of the cabinet until the pins partially extend
through the holes in the cabinet upright.

2. Squeeze the scissors latch together to insert the rail and pins though the cabinet upright holes
until the latch engages. See Figure 3 (page 4).

(3).
