Preparing for the Installation 0

Before you begin the installation procedure in this section, make the following preparations as described in this section:

• Providing Necessary Tools

• Taking ESD Precautions

Providing Necessary Tools 0

Unpack and remove the following components from the packing materials (see figure 1):

• DPM5500 chassis

• Hard drive sleds

• Accessory kit

WARNING: The DPM5500 weights 85 lbs (38.55 kg)

without hard drives. Two people are required to lift either unit.

Provide the following tools for unpacking and installing the DPM5500 system:

• #1 PHILLIPS® screwdriver

Taking ESD Precautions 0

Some components within the DPM5500 system contain static-sensitive parts. To avoid damaging these parts while performing installation procedures, always observe the following precautions:

• Keep the DPM5500 system turned off during all installation procedures.

• Use an antistatic wrist strap (included in the accessory kit).

• Keep static-sensitive parts in their original shipping containers until ready for installation.

• Do not place static-sensitive parts on a metal surface. Place them inside their protective shipping bag or on an antistatic mat.

• Avoid touching connectors and other components.

NOTE: Dry climates and cold-weather heating

environments have lower relative humidity and are more likely to produce static electricity.

Unpacking the DPM5500 0

This section explains how to unpack the DPM5500 system components and move them to their final installation location.

By following these instructions, you help ensure that the system will continue to be safeguarded after it arrives at the installation site.

Installing the DPM5500 System 0

Installing the DPM5500 in a rack consists of the following steps:

• Locating the Mounting Position

• Installing the DPM5500 Chassis

DPM5500 Quick Start Guide

Locating the Mounting Position 0

The DPM5500 system is designed to fit in a standard 19 inch wide rack. It is important to the chassis installation to locate the hole pattern in the rack rails (see figure 2

OTE: Quantum ships sufficient clip nuts to support

mounting the DPM5500 rack rails and also to secure the front of the chassis to the rails.

The marks above (X) indicate the location of mounting hardware on the rack rails. Ensure that any necessary mounting hardware is installed on the rack rails prior to installing the chassis.

Installing the DPM5500 Chassis 0

1 Assemble the DPM5500 rack rails as shown in figure 3.

You must pull the slide out of the support brackets to gain access to the mounting holes.

Figure 3 Assembling the Rack Rails

DPM5500: Front mounting bracket preset. Ensure the screws are in the correct position.

ARNING: If the rack is empty at the time of

installation, do NOT install the DPM5500 chassis too high in the rack. The weight of the chassis may cause the rack to become “top heavy” and unstable if installed in the top of an empty rack.

DPM5500: Adjustment screws; adjusts to the depth of your rack

2 Install the left and right rack rails at the beginning of a

hole pattern (see Locating the Mounting Position

) and install two 10-32 x .50 PHILLIPS screws on each rail at the front and back of the rack (see figure 4

OTE: The support brackets extend to accommodate

rack depths or 30 to 36 in. (76.2 to 91 cm).

OTE: Ensure that clip nuts are installed on the rails (see

figure 2

) prior to installing the DX5000 rails.
