You can install a DE6400 or DE6600 storage system in a two-post rack or a Lenovo system cabinet.

Before you begin

Before you install a DE6400 or DE6600 storage system, make sure you do the following:

Steps

  1. Unpack the hardware.

    1. Unpack the contents and inventory the contained hardware against the packing slip.

    2. Before proceeding, read through all the instructions.

  2. Install the rails.

    To prevent the equipment from toppling over, install the hardware from the bottom of the rack or cabinet up to the top.

    If instructions were included with your rack-mounting hardware, refer to them to learn how to install the rails. For additional rack-mounting instructions, see Rack-mount hardware.

    2. Supporting the shelf from the bottom, slide it into the cabinet.
