5.2 Installing the Rails


Begin at the bottom of the cabinet space to install the rails.

5.2.1

Installing the SPE SPS rails


The standby power supply (SPS) is a 2U component at the bottom of the
system and uses a 2U adjustable rail kit. If possible, start the installation for this
component from the bottom-most allowed space in your cabinet.
Procedure

1. From the front of the cabinet, insert the adjustable rail slide and seat the alignment pins
at the end of the rail extension into the rear channel of your cabinet.
2. Extend the rail and align the front of the rails as shown. Ensure that they are
level front to back and with the companion rail, left to right.
3. Insert two retention M5 x 16mm Phillips screws in the front and two M5 x 16mm
Phillips screws in the back of each rail as shown in the following figure.

Figure 1

Installing SPE SPS rails

Method Statement for Installation Procedure of EMC Storage System


Page 12 of 63

5.2.2

Installing the SPE rails


The SPE rails should be installed immediately above the SPS rails. The left
adjustable rail has a connector protruding from the front which goes through a
hole in the front channel of the cabinet and will connect to light the bezel.
Procedure

1. Insert the adjustable 4U rail slide and seat the alignment pins into the rear channel of your
cabinet.
2.

Extend the rail and align the front of the rails as shown below.

Figure 2

Installing SPE rails

3. Insert two retention screws from the front of the cabinet on each side, as
shown.
4.

5.2.3

Insert two retention screws in the back of each rail, as shown below:

Installing the blade enclosure 0 adjustable rails


The blade enclosure 0 2U adjustable rails are installed directly above the last
set of rails you installed. Refer to following figure while performing the
procedure.
Procedure
1. Insert the outer rail (of the adjustable rail) alignment pins (left and right
sides) into the holes in the back of the rack post.
2. Extend the inner rail (of the adjustable rail) and align with the front of the
rack post.

3. To hold the rails in place, insert all the screws (6 places, 2 front and 4 rear) provided
separately.

blade enclosure rails.
To install the CS0 outer slide rails:

5.2.6

(Optional) Adjust the rack post hole shape on the slide rails

Install the outer slide rail in the cabinet

Adjusting the rail assemblies for the cabinet channel holes


The rail assemblies ship with round alignment posts at the end of the rails for
cabinet channels (NEMA rails) with round holes. If your cabinet has channels
with square holes, switch the rail alignment posts to square posts.
Switching rail alignment posts
On each end of each rail assembly, switch the alignment post assembly
using the procedure that follows. Refer to following figure while performing
the procedure.
Procedure
1. Remove the screw that secures the alignment post assembly.

Method Statement for Installation Procedure of EMC Storage System


Page 14 of 63

2. Push the plastic tab on the alignment post assembly up or down, depending on the rail
end, and hold the tab in.
3. Rotate the alignment post assembly either clockwise to switch from round posts to
square posts or counter clockwise to switch from square posts to round posts until the
assembly clicks into place.
4. Secure the alignment post assembly in place with the screw that you
removed.

DAE 0 can be any DAE type supported by VNX: a 3U, 15 3.5'' drive DAE, a 2U, 25 2.5'' drive
DAE, a 3U, 120 2.5" drive DAE, or a 4U, 60 2.5" or 3.5" drive DAE. The 3U, 120 2.5" drive DAE
and the 4U, 60 2.5" or 3.5" drive DAE require deep racks and a service engagement, so they are
not included in this section. Identify and ensure that you are ready to install the DAE with the vault
drives, DAE 0, at this time.

5.10 Install the 2U DAE


Procedure
1. Slide the disk-array enclosure (DAE) into the DAE rails in the cabinet.
Ensure that the enclosure is fully seated in the cabinet. The rail stops in the back will seat into
the back of the enclosure at the correct depth, and the front of the enclosure will be flush with
the cabinet face.
2. When the DAE is in place, insert and tighten all of the screws.
It may be easier to install the screws working in a diagonal pattern, such as bottom left and top
right, bottom right and top left.

9.0 STORAGE AND HANDLING


The equipment is shipped in custom-designed shipping material, crate, and pallet.

9.1 Pre-Delivery Considerations


Take into account the following considerations prior to the delivery at your site:
Weight capacities of the loading dock, tailgate, and service elevator if
delivery is to a floor other than the receiving floor.
Length and thickness of covering required for floor protection.
Equipment ramp needed if the receiving floor is not level with computer
room floor.

9.2 Moving up and down inclines


To prevent tipping when moving up and down inclines, the following guidelines
are recommended:
When moving cabinets, all doors/drawers should be closed.
When moving the cabinet down an incline, the front of the cabinet must go
first.
When moving the cabinet up an incline, the rear of the bay goes last.

9.4 Air Quality Requirements


The EMC storage equipment is designed to be consistent with the requirements
of the American Society of Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning
Engineers (ASHRAE) Environmental Standard Handbook and the most current
revision of Thermal Guidelines for Data Processing Environments, ASHRAE TC
9.9 2011.
The equipment is best suited for Class 1A Datacom environments, which consist
of tightly controlled environmental parameters, including temperature, dew
point, relative humidity and air quality. These facilities house mission critical
equipment and are typically fault tolerant, including the air conditioners. In a
data center environment, if the air conditioning fails and the temperature is lost,
a vault may occur to protect data.
The data center should maintain a cleanliness level as identified in ISO 146641, class 8 for particulate dust and pollution control. The air entering the data
center should be filtered with a MERV 11 filter or better. The air within the data
center should be continuously filtered with a MERV 8 or better filtration system.
In addition, efforts should be maintained to prevent conductive particles, such as
zinc whiskers, from entering the facility.
The allowable relative humidity level is 10-90% non-condensing, however, the
recommended operating environment range is 4055%. For data centers with
gaseous contamination, such as high sulfur content, lower temperatures and
humidity are recommended to minimize the risk of hardware corrosion and
degradation. In general, the humidity fluctuations within the data center should
be minimized. It is also recommended that the data center be positively
pressured and have air curtains on entry-ways to prevent outside air
contaminants and humidity from entering the facility.

9.5 Raised Floor Requirements


EMC recommends the use of 24 x 24 inch heavy-duty, concrete-filled steel floor
tiles. If a different size or type of tile is used, the customer must ensure that the
tiles have a minimum load rating that is sufficient for supporting the VMAX3
array weight. Ensure proper physical support of the system by following
requirements that are based on the use of 24 x 24 in. (61 x 61 cm) heavy-duty,
concrete-filled steel floor tiles.
Raised floors must meet the following requirements:

Floor must be level.


Floor tiles and stringers must be rated to withstand concentrated loads of
two casters each that weigh up to 700 lb (317.5 kg).
Floor tiles and stringers must be rated for a minimum static ultimate load of
3,000 lb (1,360.8 kg).
Floor tiles must be rated for a minimum of 1,000 lb (453.6 kg) on rolling load.
For floor tiles that do not meet the minimum rolling load rate, EMC
recommends the use of coverings, such as plywood, to protect floors during
system roll.
Floor tile cutouts weaken the tile. EMC recommends an additional pedestal
mount adjacent to the cutout of a tile. The number and placement of
additional pedestal mounts relative to a cutout are to be in accordance with
the tile manufacturers recommendations. Floor tile deflection should be
minimized with additional pedestal mounts.
Take care when positioning the bays to make sure that a caster is not
moved into a cutout. Cutting tiles per specifications ensures the proper
caster placement.
Use or create no more than one floor tile cutout that is no more than 8 in.
(20 cm) wide by 6 in. (15 cm) deep in each 24 x 24 in. (61 x 61 cm) floor tile.
Ensure that the weight of any other objects in the data center does not
compromise the structural integrity of the raised floor or the subfloor (nonraised floor) of the data center.
