HP StorageWorks 6000-series Virtual Library System User Guide (AH809-96049, September 2010)

Installing the VLS6100 and VLS6500 Nodes into a Rack
NOTE:
Install components starting with the first available slot at bottom of the rack and working toward the
top of the rack. Starting at the bottom distributes the weight correctly in the cabinet.
NOTE:
If you are installing the node into a telco rack, order the appropriate option kit at the RackSolutions.com
web site: http://www.racksolutions.com/hp. Follow the instructions on the web site to install the rack
brackets.
To install a node into the rack involves three main tasks:
• Install Rails in the Rack
• Attach Rails to the Node
• Install Appliance in Rack
Install Rails in the Rack
1. Locate the appropriate rail kit—part number 360332–003.
2. Install the two slide rails to the sides of the rack.
a. Adjust the side rail assemblies to the approximate rack depth.
b. At one side of the rack, align the rail holes with the holes in the rack and secure with the
provided mounting hardware using a #2 Phillips screwdriver.
