4. On the other side of the node, align the remaining rail so that the word “FRONT” on the rail is
seen at the front of the node. It will be printed upside-down.
5. Align the holes in the rail with the round tabs on the side of the node.
6. Put the rail onto the node with the tabs extending into the holes on the side of the rail, then slide
the rail toward the front of the node until the tabs are locked into the rail.
Install Appliance in the Rack
To install the appliance into the rack:
1. Align the rails on the appliance with the rails in the rack.
2. Slide the appliance fully into the rack.
The rails on the appliance will lock into the rails on the rack. When fully seated against the rack,
the appliance will also lock into place.
Installing the VLS6800 Node into a Rack
Follow the steps in this section if you are installing the VLS6800 node into a rack with square holes.
If you are installing the node into a rack with round holes, order the appropriate rack installation
option kit, and then refer to the installation instructions that ship with the option kit for more information.
If you are installing the VLS6800 node into a telco rack, order the appropriate option kit at the
RackSolutions.com web site (http://www.racksolutions.com/hp). Follow the node-specific instructions
on the web site to install the rack brackets. After installing the brackets, follow the steps in this section.
WARNING!
When installing the node in a telco rack, be sure that the rack frame is adequately secured to the top
and bottom of the building structure.
NOTE:
Allow enough rack space above and/or below the node to mount the disk arrays. A disk array
requires a vertical rack space of 2U (equivalent to 89 mm, or 3.5 inches).
Plan to mount up to four disk arrays below the node and after that up to four more disk arrays above
the node as shown in VLS6600 and VLS6800 disk array rack mounting order.
To install a VLS6800 node into the rack involves three main tasks:
• Install Rails in the Rack
• Install Appliance in Rack
