Choosing a Location 0

The DX3000/DX5000 must be installed in a restricted access location per specification EN69050-1. This system must only be installed by qualified IT service personnel. This is required to prevent untrained personnel from allowing body parts or electrically conductive items to penetrate into the interior of the system when replacing or installing drives, fans, and power supplies.

When choosing an installation site for the DX3000/DX5000 system, consider the following requirements:

• Rack Space Requirements

• Environmental Conditions

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

Provide the following tools for unpacking and installing the DX3000 and DX5000 systems:

• #1 PHILLIPS® screwdriver

• #2 PHILLIPS screwdriver

• #1 Flat head screwdriver

• Antistatic wrist strap included in accessory kit

Tak i n g E S D P r e c a u t i o n s 0

Some components within the DX3000 and DX5000 systems contain static-sensitive parts. To avoid damaging these parts while performing installation procedures, always observe the following precautions:

• Keep the DX3000/DX5000 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.

The installation site must have the following environmental conditions:

• Humidity: 20%-80% non-condensing

• Temperature: 10°C-35°C (50°F-95°F)

• Altitude: 0 to 10,000 feet (0 to 3048 meters)

These environmental conditions apply when the DX-Series system is in operation.

(PN

NOTE: Dry climates and cold-weather heating

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

Unpacking the DX3000/DX5000 0

This section explains how to unpack both the DX3000 and DX5000 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.

DX3000 and DX5000 Quick Start Guide

Unpack and remove the following components from the packing materials (see figure 2

and figure 3):

• DX3000 or DX5000 chassis

• Hard drive sleds

• Accessory kit

ARNING: The DX3000 weighs 38 lbs (17.24 kg) and

the DX5000 weights 85 lbs (38.56 kg) without hard drives. Two people are required to lift either unit.

Installing the DX3000/DX5000 System

Installing the DX3000/5000 in a rack consists of the following steps:

• Locating the Mounting Position

• Installing the DX3000/DX5000 Chassis

Locating the Mounting Position

Both the DX3000 and DX5000 systems are 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 4

7U of rack space

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.

1 Assemble the DX3000/DX5000 support brackets

figure 5

• For the DX5000 - The DX5000 rails are preset for

easy installation. Loosen the two nuts securing the back portion of the rail so the rail can adjust to the depth of the rack.

• For the DX3000 - The DX3000 rails are preset for

28 in (71.1cm). Loosen the nuts to adjust the rails to the depth of the rack.

OTE: Two sizes of support brackets are included

with the DX3000 rails to support various rack depths. Measure the depth of the rack to determine the depth. The short brackets (5 in., 12.7cm) are used for rack depths of 28 to 31 in (71.1 to 78.7 cm). The long brackets (10 in., 25.4 cm) are used for rack depths of 32 to 36 in (81.3 to 91.4 cm). Use the appropriate support bracket for your rack.

ARNING: If the rack is empty at the time of

installation, do NOT install the DX3000 or DX5000 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.

OTE: Quantum ships sufficient clip nuts to support

mounting the DX3000/DX5000 rack rails and also to secure the front of the chassis to the rails.
