4 Installing Storage System Components into a Rack This chapter describes the procedures for installing storage system components in an existing rack. Before you set up a storage system, ensure that all requirements documented in the HP 3PAR StoreServ 7450 Storage Site Planning Manual have been met. Follow these procedures if you are installing any of the following storage system components in an existing or partially populated rack: • PCIe adapters • Hard drive enclosures • Controller node enclosures • Cables • Hard drives To set up a storage system delivered in a fully loaded HP cabinet, see "Setting Up a Factory-Integrated Storage System" (page 15). Unpacking Hard Drive and Controller Node Enclosures The enclosure includes nodes, I/O modules, and PCMs. CAUTION: The enclosure is heavy. Lifting, moving, or installing it requires two people. To unpack the enclosure: 1. Cut open the cardboard box and remove the top. 2. Remove the rail kit. 3. Remove the packing foam around the enclosure. 4. Remove the enclosure from the box. Installing the Rail Kit Before you install the enclosure in the rack, you must mount the two rail shelves to the rack. To mount a one unit (1U) rail shelf (used for installing a SP) to the rack, follow the installation instructions included with the rail kit. Table 3 (page 19) lists the rail kit part numbers for each type of installation. Table 3 Part Numbers 2U Enclosure Rail Kit Assembly 692981-001 4U Enclosure Rail Kit Assembly 692982-001 NOTE: For more information about the rail kit assembly, see "Rail Kits" (page 83). The rail kit contains two rails, two middle support brackets, and T-25 Torx screws. The rail channels are mounted to the inside of the rack using two shoulder screws at each end of the rack (four screws per rail), and a middle support bracket for mounting between the adjustable rails. Installing the middle support bracket applies only to the 2U and 4U enclosures. The following text is imprinted on both ends of the rails: FRONT-R and FRONT-L. NOTE: The middle support bracket is only used in an HP rack with posts that extend to a depth of 29-inches. Install the middle support bracket when transporting the system to another location. Retain and store the middle support brackets if they are not being used. Unpacking Hard Drive and Controller Node Enclosures 19

4 Installing Storage System Components into a Rack
This chapter describes the procedures for installing storage system components in an existing rack.
Before you set up a storage system, ensure that all requirements documented in the
HP 3PAR
StoreServ 7450 Storage Site Planning Manual
have been met.
Follow these procedures if you are installing any of the following storage system components in
an existing or partially populated rack:
•
PCIe adapters
•
Hard drive enclosures
•
Controller node enclosures
•
Cables
•
Hard drives
To set up a storage system delivered in a fully loaded HP cabinet, see
“Setting Up a
Factory-Integrated Storage System” (page 15)
.
Unpacking Hard Drive and Controller Node Enclosures
The enclosure includes nodes, I/O modules, and PCMs.
CAUTION:
The enclosure is heavy. Lifting, moving, or installing it requires two people.
To unpack the enclosure:
1.
Cut open the cardboard box and remove the top.
2.
Remove the rail kit.
3.
Remove the packing foam around the enclosure.
4.
Remove the enclosure from the box.
Installing the Rail Kit
Before you install the enclosure in the rack, you must mount the two rail shelves to the rack.
To mount a one unit (1U) rail shelf (used for installing a SP) to the rack, follow the installation
instructions included with the rail kit.
Table 3 (page 19)
lists the rail kit part numbers for each type of installation.

NOTE:
For more information about the rail kit assembly, see
“Rail Kits” (page 83)
.
The rail kit contains two rails, two middle support brackets, and T-25 Torx screws. The rail channels
are mounted to the inside of the rack using two shoulder screws at each end of the rack (four
screws per rail), and a middle support bracket for mounting between the adjustable rails. Installing
the middle support bracket applies only to the 2U and 4U enclosures. The following text is imprinted
on both ends of the rails:
FRONT-R
and
FRONT-L
.
NOTE:
The middle support bracket is only used in an HP rack with posts that extend to a depth
of 29-inches. Install the middle support bracket when transporting the system to another location.
Retain and store the middle support brackets if they are not being used.
