Clearance requirements

If you do not ground the appliance directly to a site earth-grounding facility, the rack
must be grounded to a reliable earth ground.

NEBS GR-63 recommends that you allow at least 30 in (72.6 cm) both in front of and
behind the chassis for installation and maintenance.

Airflow vents in the front and rear panels must remain open and uncovered for proper
cooling.

2. Installing the Media Flow Engine

The appliance is shipped in a box with an included accessory box.

To unpack and install the appliance, you need:

•

A No. 2 Phillips screwdriver

•

A utility knife

•

A mechanical lift, or three people to assist in lifting and securing the appliance in the
rack

•

For a DC-power-equipped appliance, two DC power cables and one ground cable for
each power supply.

To unpack and install the appliance:

1. Remove the accessory box from the shipping box.

2. Remove the appliance from the shipping box.

CAUTION: Do not allow the unpackaged appliance or any edge or surface of the

appliance to drop more than 3 inches, unsupported. An unsupported drop onto a hard
surface from a height greater than 3 inches can cause irreparable physical damage to
the storage media. Place impact-absorbing material under the appliance to prevent
loss of storage drive functionality in such cases. With the exception of the hard disk
storage array, this appliance complies with the NEBS unpackaged test requirement.

3. Attach the supplied mounting ears, rails, and brackets based on whether you intend

to use a front-and-rear mounting method or a mid-appliance mounting method.

4. Lift the appliance into position.

CAUTION: Because of the VXA2000 Series Media Flow Engine’s size and weight—up

to 53 lb 11 oz. (24.4 kg) depending on the configuration—we strongly recommend that
you install the appliance using a mechanical lift or with 3 people (2 to lift and 1 to secure
the appliance to the rack).

5. Align the holes on the mounting brackets with the holes on both sides of the

equipment rack.

6. Secure the appliance to the rack with thread-forming screws and place

external-tooth, paint-piercing lock washers between the screw head and the
mounting bracket to create a reliable low-resistance ground bond between the
chassis and the rack.

2. Installing the Media Flow Engine

7. Connect power to the appliance.

For a standard, DC-power-equipped appliance:

CAUTION: You must ensure that power connections maintain the proper polarity.

Verify that the DC power cables are correctly labeled before making connections to the
power supply. In a typical power distribution scheme where the return is connected to
chassis ground at the battery plant, you can use a multimeter to verify the resistance
of the V- (–48V) and V+ (RTN) DC cables to chassis ground:

•

The cable with very large resistance (indicating an open circuit) to chassis ground is

V- (–48V).

•

The cable with very low resistance (indicating a closed circuit) to chassis ground is

V+ (RTN).

a. Switch off the dedicated customer site circuit breakers for the power supplies.

b. Ensure that the equipment rack is properly grounded to a permanent earth

ground and the appliance has a good low-resistance ground bond to the rack.

c. Remove the protective cover from the DC terminals on the power supplies.

d. Loosen the DC terminal screws.

e. Insert the positive (+) DC source power cable and tighten the screw to secure

the cable to the V+ (RTN) return terminal.

f. Insert the negative (–) DC source power cable and tighten the screw to secure

the cable to the V- (–48V) input terminal.

g. Replace the protective cover over the DC terminals on the power supplies.

h. Remove the screw from the grounding terminal on the power supply.

i. Insert the screw through the grounding lug on the cable and tighten the screw

to secure the grounding cable to the power supply grounding terminal.

j. Switch on the dedicated customer site circuit breakers for the power supplies.

See the VXA2000 Series Media Flow Engine Hardware Installation Guide for

detailed information on connecting DC power to the appliance.

For an appliance equipped with optional AC power supplies:

a. Ensure that the equipment rack is properly grounded to a permanent earth

b. Insert an AC power cord appropriate for your geographical area (supplied) into

ground and the appliance has a good low-resistance ground bond to the rack.

An AC-powered appliance gets additional grounding when you connect the

power supply in the appliance to a grounded AC power outlet with the correct

AC power cord.
