Installation guidelines
Before you install the storage expansion enclosure in a rack cabinet, review the following guidelines:
v This product is to be installed and serviced only by qualified IBM service representatives.
v Because of the size and weight of the storage enclosure as shipped, a lift tool and a minimum of two
trained service technicians are required to push the enclosure out of its custom-designed package and
onto the lift tool.
v The storage expansion enclosure must not be installed in a rack position where the top of the unit is
above 32U or the bottom of the unit is above the 29U mark on the rack cabinet.
v Make sure that the room air temperature is below 25°C (77°F). The operating temperature for optimal
performance is 22°C (72°F) or lower.
v Do not block any air vents; usually 15 cm (6 in.) of space provides proper airflow.
v Do not leave open spaces above or below an installed storage expansion enclosure in your rack cabinet.
To help prevent damage to storage expansion enclosure components, always install a blank filler panel
to cover the open space and to help ensure proper air circulation.
v Install the storage expansion enclosure only in a rack cabinet with perforated doors.
v Plan the device installation starting from the bottom of the rack cabinet.
v Install the heaviest device in the bottom of the rack cabinet.
v Do not extend more than one device out of the rack cabinet at the same time.
v Remove the rack doors and side panels to provide easier access during installation. Depending on the
rack location where the storage expansion enclosure will be installed, you might need to remove the
bracket that holds the door to the rack because the bracket might obstruct the storage expansion
enclosure handles.
v Connect the storage expansion enclosure to a properly grounded outlet. The storage expansion
enclosure accepts only 200 V - 240 V input sources. In addition, you might need to purchase a special
cable for the rack PDUs for the voltage and currents that the EXP5060 requires. If you do not have an
IBM System Storage 2101-200 rack with the supported PDUs and 60 A power cords, check your PDUs
or input sources to make sure that they can handle the EXP5060 voltage and currents.
v Do not overload the power outlet when you install multiple devices in the rack cabinet.
v Install the storage expansion enclosure in a rack cabinet that meets the following requirements:
– Minimum depth of 70 mm (2.76 in.) between the front support flange and the inside of the front
door.
– Minimum depth of 157 mm (6.18 in.) between the rear support flange and the inside of the rear
door.
– Minimum depth of 762 mm (30 in.) between the front and rear support flanges to support the use of
the cable-management arm.
v For more information about installing the storage expansion enclosure in a non-IBM rack, see the
“Specifications for non-IBM rack installation” section in the IBM System Storage EXP5060 Storage
Subsystem Installation, User’s, and Maintenance Guide.

Unpacking the shipping box
Important: Do not remove the storage expansion enclosure from the shipping box until the support rails
are installed in the rack cabinet. You must install the support rails in the rack cabinet before
you install the storage expansion enclosure.
The disk drive modules (DDMs) that come with the storage expansion enclosure are packaged in a
smaller box inside the shipping box. To unpack the shipping box, complete the following steps:
1. Remove the following items from the shipping box. Do not remove the EXP5060 from the shipping
box at this time.
v Box containing the mounting hardware kit
v Six full or empty boxes of DDMs
Note: The DDMs are packaged ten per box. The minimum order is 20 DDMs, so at least two of the
boxes are full. If you ordered less than the maximum number of 60 DDMs, one or more of
the boxes are empty.
v Box containing storage expansion enclosure handles

Installing the support rails and rear brackets
Notes:
1. For proper weight distribution, install the support rails as low in the rack cabinet as possible.
2. The rack cabinet must have a minimum depth of 100 cm (40 in.).
To install the left and right support rails in the rack cabinet, complete the following steps. Use the front
and rear rack-mounting templates on pages 21 and 23 to align the support rails and rear brackets with
the correct rack holes. If the support rails will be installed above an existing storage subsystem or storage
expansion enclosure, position the EXP5060 support rails directly above it. If the support rails will be
installed below an existing storage subsystem or storage expansion enclosure, allow 178 mm (7 in.) of
vertical clearance for the EXP5060.
1. Make sure that the rack has already been installed.
2. Make sure that a stabilizer has been attached correctly to the bottom front of the rack to prevent the
rack from tipping forward while the storage expansion enclosure is being installed.
Refer to the installation and service guide, or equivalent, for the rack as required.
3. Locate the two support rails, eight M5 screws, and eight washers that are supplied with the storage
expansion enclosure.
Note: The screws and washers might already be attached to the support rails. If so, remove them
from the support rails.
4. Starting with the left support rail, loosen the two rail adjustment screws with a medium flat-blade
screwdriver. The adjustment screws are used to lock the support rails at a certain length.
Note: The support rails are not marked as left or right. However, each rail can be mounted correctly
on only one side of the rack cabinet. The rails should be mounted with the alignment pin at
the rear of the rack.

5. 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 pins at the rear of the support rail slide into the mounting holes at the rear of the
rack cabinet. The wider end of the support rail must be positioned at the front of the rack cabinet.
6. From the front of the rack cabinet, with the support-rail flanges positioned inside the rack cabinet
support rail assemblies, insert two M5 screws with washers through the front of the cabinet and
screw them into the support rail front flange. Make sure that you use a washer when you install an
M5 screw through a square hole on a rack-mounting flange.
7
Attention: Make sure that the screws are tight enough to support the weight of the storage
expansion enclosure, but do not completely tighten the screws yet.
7. Make sure that the holes in the rail above and below the top mounting screw are visible through the
holes of the rack flange and tighten the two M5 screws to secure the front of the rail to the rack
flange.
8. From the rear of the rack cabinet, insert two M5 screws with washers through the rear of the cabinet
and screw them into the support rail rear flange.
9. Tighten the two rail adjustment screws with a medium flat-blade screwdriver.
10. Repeat steps 4 on page 7 through 9 for the right support rail.
Note: Because the mounting holes on the rack are not always the same size as the mounting screws,
the lip of each of the support rails might not line up evenly. Make minor adjustments as
needed to make sure that the lip of the left and right support rails are lined up evenly on the
racks. Failure to do so will cause the storage expansion enclosure to fit unevenly in the rack.
11. Locate the two rear brackets, four M5 screws, four washers, and four clip nuts that are supplied with
the storage expansion enclosure.
12. Install the rear brackets at the rear of the rack as shown in the following illustration, using the M5
screws, washers, and clip nuts to secure the brackets to the rack mounting holes.
