Cabinets, Racks, and Rail Kits
The Sun StorageTek 5220 NAS Appliance can be installed in the Sun™ Rack 900, the
Sun™ Rack 1000, or third-party racks that comply with the requirements. Although
the system is installed in a single cabinet or rack, the appliance and the back-end
storage units require different rails to support them.
Note – A cabinet is a rack with a door and the two terms are used interchangeably.
Requirements for Racks and Cabinets
Requirements to support installation of the storage system:
■ The rack’s horizontal opening and unit vertical pitch must conform to ANSI/EIA
310-D-1992 or IEC 60927.
■ Rack must have four-post structure to allow mounting at both front and back.
■ Distance between front and back mounting planes must be between 61 cm and
92 cm (24 to 36 inches).
■ Clearance depth at front (distance between front cabinet door and front mounting
plane) must be at least 2.6 cm (1 inch).
■ Clearance depth at back (distance between front mounting plane to the back
cabinet door) must be at least 80 cm (31.5 inches).
■ Clearance width (distance between the left and right structural supports, cable
troughs, and so on within the front and back mounting planes) must be at least
46 cm (18 inches).
Rack density varies widely based on systems installed, power distribution
installation (in-cabinet, external), power source (single-phase, three-phase), and
whether redundant power is required. Some rack vendors do not support a fullyloaded rack because of the amount of power required. For power specifications, refer
to Appendix A.
Requirements for Rail Kit
Note – Not all third-party racks are compatible with these slide rail kits.
Chapter 2 Installing the Appliance and Back-End Storage 11
Slide Rail Kit for the Appliance
The Sun StorageTek 5220 NAS Appliance is supported with the slide rail kit (3707669-02) and cable management arm (370-7668-02). The slide rail kit contains fourpoint mounted slide rails and is designed to enable the Sun StorageTek 5220 NAS
Appliance to be installed in the Sun Rack™ 900, the Sun Rack 1000, and other
ANSI/EIA 310-D-1992 or IEC 60927 compliant racks. No other kits are available to
allow two-point, front-mount, or mid-mount installation.
The slide kit includes hardware that enables mounting to any of the following types
of rails:
■ 6-mm threaded holes
■ No. 10-32 threaded holes
■ No. 10 clearance holes
■ Square unthreaded holes compliant with EIA and IEC standards
Universal Rail Kit for Back-End Storage
Use the universal rail kit to mount the controller and expansion units in any
standard Sun cabinet, such as the Sun Rack 900/1000 cabinet.
Preparing for the Installation
Use the following procedures to prepare for installation:
■ “Preparing the Cabinet” on page 12
■ “Proper Grounding Technique” on page 13
■ “Checking the Slide Rail Kit” on page 14
■ “Checking the Universal Rail Kit” on page 14
■ “Checking the Controller and Expansion Units” on page 15
■ “Checking the Appliance” on page 15
■ “Preparing the Cabinet” on page 12
12 Sun StorageTek 5220 NAS Appliance Getting Started Guide • October 2006
Preparing the Cabinet
Note – The rack must have an AC power disconnect. This power source disconnect
must be easily accessible, and it must be labeled as controlling power to the entire
rack, not only to the appliance
Be sure the location of the cabinet or rack complies with the following requirements
and that it has been installed as described in its installation instructions:
■ Check that the rack or cabinet has unrestricted air flow for the cooling fans.
■ Check that the maximum ambient operating temperature in the rack does not
exceed 95˚F (35˚C).
■ Make sure that the rack will not tip over, even when the controller and expansion
units are fully extended from the rack.
■ Make sure the rack has two power sources connected to two separate power
circuits.
■ Make sure the power outlets are close enough to the units for the power cords to
reach the cabinet properly.
■ Make sure the power cables are grounded.
Before you begin mounting the rail kits, do the following:
1. Stabilize the cabinet as described in the cabinet documentation.
2. If the cabinet has casters, make sure the casters are locked to prevent the cabinet
from rolling.
3. Remove or open the front panel.
4. Remove or open the vented back panel.
Note – Sun Microsystems makes no warranties or guarantees as to fit, form, or
function of the Sun StorageTek 5220 NAS Appliance system installed in third-party
racks or cabinets. It is the customer’s responsibility to ensure that the rack or cabinet
can house the Sun StorageTek 5220 NAS Appliance system in all conditions that
might exist. All racks and cabinets must comply with local building and construction
codes.
Chapter 2 Installing the Appliance and Back-End Storage 13
Proper Grounding Technique
You must maintain reliable grounding of this equipment. Review specifications in
Appendix A to determine the appropriate AC branch circuit size for the quantity of
units in your configuration and your operating voltage. Always follow your local
electrical codes for loading circuits.
Caution – The controller unit and expansion units contain several components
sensitive to static-electrical discharge. Surges of static electricity (caused by shuffling
your feet across a floor and touching a metallic surface, for example) can cause
damage to electrical components. It is important that proper grounding techniques
be observed.
■ Transport products in static-safe containers.
■ Cover workstations with approved static-dissipating material.
■ Wear a wrist strap, and always be grounded when touching static-sensitive
equipment or parts.
■ Use only grounded tools and equipment.
■ Avoid touching pins, leads, or circuitry.
Avoiding Damage to Internal Components
■ For the controller unit and expansion units, make sure that the power switch is
turned off and that both power cables are plugged in.
■ Wear a wrist strap, and always be grounded when touching static-sensitive
equipment or parts. If a wrist strap is not available, touch any unpainted metal
surface on the back panel of any unit to dissipate static electricity. Repeat this
procedure several times during installation.
■ Avoid touching exposed circuitry, and handle components by their edges only.
Caution – Do not power on any units until after you have connected the Sun
StorageTek 5220 NAS Appliance to the network.
Grounding the Rack During Installation
The safe ground conductor provides proper grounding only for the Sun StorageTek
5220 NAS Appliance. You must provide additional proper grounding for the rack
and other devices installed in it.
■ Include a third-wire safety ground conductor with the rack installation to avoid
the potential for an electrical shock hazard.
14 Sun StorageTek 5220 NAS Appliance Getting Started Guide • October 2006
■ Use a minimum 14 A WG connected to the earth ground stud on the back of the
appliance.
■ Connect the safety ground conductor to the chassis stud with a two-hole crimp
terminal with a maximum width of 0.25 inch.
■ Install the nuts on the chassis with a 10 in/lb torque.
Review specifications in Appendix A to determine isolation and continuous power
requirements.
Checking the Slide Rail Kit
When you unpack the shipping box, verify that you have all of the parts:
■ Two slide rail assemblies, one for installing on the right side of the rack and one
for the left. Each slide rail assembly has two parts:
■ Slide rail that attaches to the rack posts
■ Mounting brackets that attach to the appliance chassis

Planning the Installation
At a minimum, the system has an appliance and the controller unit. Your system can
have one or two expansion units, installed now or at a later date. Plan the placement
of the rails carefully because they are spaced differently, depending on whether you
are installing a unit or an appliance.
In general, the installation is accomplished in the following order:
1. Install the universal slide rail kit for the controller unit, starting at the bottom of
the rack.
2. Install the universal slide rail kit for each expansion unit, starting above the
controller unit.
3. Mount the controller unit at the bottom of the cabinet.
4. Mount each expansion unit, from the bottom up.
5. Install the slide rails for the appliance.
6. Install the cable management kit.
7. Mount the appliance.
8. Install the power cords.
Caution – The controller and expansion units must be installed in the cabinet
starting from the bottom up to distribute the weight correctly in the cabinet. The
appliance is installed last. Uneven loading of the rack can cause dangerous
instability.
Note – Some procedures require two people to complete.
