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.
