NetApp AltaVault Cloud Integrated Storage Installation and Service Guide for Physical Appliances
Installing the controller chassis and shelves
Installations of controller chassis in four-post racks
The SSN label is on the metal lip just below port e0l and the maintenance port (wrench icon) on the controller as
shown in the illustration below. This number is used to uniquely identify the controller in the AltaVault Setup
Wizard during initial system setup.

Identify components as described in this table.:
3.
Determine the appropriate screw and clip nut size for your four-post rack.
4.
Install the clip nuts on the left-side and right-side rails using the clip nut tool.
Note:
You must install a minimum of four clip nuts per rail, at least two on the front and two on the rear side of each rail, except for
NetApp cabinets, where a single screw is used per rail.
5.
Locate the position the rail will occupy when installed, on the right rear of the four-post rack.
Note:
When possible, install the equipment from the bottom of the rack up, so that you can use the equipment underneath as a guide
for installing the next set of rails. Place controllers in the rack no higher than eye level so that the LED lights can be easily seen.
6.
Hold one of the rails against the rear post and center the square holes of the rail with the center of the mounting
holes (square or round) of the rack post. This ensures that when you install the equipment, the oblong holes on the
equipment mounting flanges or tabs align with the clip nuts on the rack post.
7.
Secure the rail to the rear post, using the appropriate size and type mounting screws matching the threading of your
equipment rack.
