2 Rack Mounting the Array

For proper operation, a PS Series storage array must be installed in a rack. This section contains general

electrostatic safety and network information, and installation information for PS Series arrays.

After installing the array in a rack, connect the power and network cables, as described in Connecting the

Array Cables on page 9.

Before You Begin

Before installing the array:

• Read the installation safety precautions. See Installation Safety Precautions.

• Make sure the rack meets the rack requirements. See Rack Requirements.

• Make sure the array and installation location meet the environmental requirements. See Environmental

Requirements on page 4.

• Unpack the rail kit (if ordered) and make sure you have all the necessary parts and tools. The rail kit is

located in the array shipping box. You must supply your own tools. See Shipping Box Contents and

Required Hardware on page 5.

Installation Safety Precautions

Follow these safety precautions:

• Dell recommends that only individuals with rack mounting experience install an array in a rack.

• Make sure the array is fully grounded at all times to prevent damage from electrostatic discharge.

• When handling the array hardware, you must use the electrostatic wrist guard shipped with the array or

a similar form of protection.

• You need at least two people to lift the array chassis from the shipping box.

Rack Requirements

Make sure the rack and the array installation meet the following requirements:

• Use an industry standard, EIA-310-D compliant, four-post 19 inch rack with universal square hole or

unthreaded round hole spacing.

• The rack must be rated for 540 kg (1200 pounds) static load or greater.

• The minimum rack depth is 100 cm (40 inches) from the front of the rack to the rear of the rack.

• The distance between the inside of the front and rear rack posts (the mounting surfaces) can range from

732 mm to 757 mm (28.8 inches to 29.8 inches) for RapidRails and from 708 mm to 757 mm (27.8

inches to 29.8 inches) for VersaRails.

• Secure the rack to the floor for added stability.
