Install the Storage System in a Rack

Install the storage system and other Storage Center system components in a rack.

About this task

Mount the storage system and expansion enclosures in a manner that allows for expansion in the rack and prevents the rack from becoming top‐heavy.

The SCv3000 and SCv3020 storage system ships with a ReadyRails II kit. The rails come in two different styles: tool-less and tooled. Follow the detailed installation instructions located in the rail kit box for your particular style of rails.

NOTE:Dell recommends using two people to install the rails, one at the front of the rack and one at the back.

Steps

  1. Position the left and right rail end pieces labeled FRONT facing inward.
  2. Align each end piece with the top and bottom holes of the appropriate U space.

  4. Engage the front end of the rail until it fully seats and the latch locks into place.
  5. Align the system with the rails and slide the storage system into the rack.
