1 Introduction The HP StoreEver 1U Rack-mount Enclosure is a rack-mountable storage system capable of holding up to two half-height 5.25 inch tape or RDX disk drives. It is compatible with most standard 19 inch racks. Figure 1 1U Rack-mount Enclosure Standard Features Standard features of the 1U rack-mount enclosure: • Supports one or two 5.
Figure 2 External SAS ports on the 1U rack-mount enclosure When two SAS devices are installed, the right–most connector of the internal cable is connected to the device on the right and the left-most connector of the internal cable is connected to the device on the left. This routes the right-hand device to external port 1 and the left-hand device to external port 2.

2 Drive Installation Tools Required A 3/16” (5mm) flat-blade screwdriver or T-15 Torx driver may be required to install a drive in the 1U rack-mount enclosure. Drive Blank Removal and Installation CAUTION: To avoid damaging the equipment due to electrostatic discharge, be sure to review and practice the procedures in Electrostatic discharge before handling the drives. To install a tape or disk drive: 1. Remove the top access panel as shown. Figure 7 Removing the access panel 2. Remove the drive blank: a.
Figure 9 Removing the mounting brackets from the blank 4. Install the mounting brackets to the sides of the drive. Always use the screws provided with the drive. Figure 10 Installing the mounting brackets on the drive CAUTION: When installing an LTO half-height tape drive, it is particularly important that you use the 6 mm M3 screws provided with the drive. If the screws are too long, they may damage the mechanism and void the warranty.

Replace the top access panel as shown. Figure 13 Replacing the access panel Cabling with Two Devices The 1U rack-mount enclosure supports operation of two devices. SAS Devices The 1U rack-mount enclosure supports operation of two SAS devices on two SAS buses.
NOTE: One device per SCSI bus is the recommended configuration for LTO–3 and LTO–4 drives. Figure 14 Single-device SCSI configuration 1. Device 1 2. Device 2 3. SCSI bus 1 cable, SCSI connector nearest terminator is 4. SCSI bus 2 cable, SCSI connector nearest terminator is used for device 1 used for device 2 5.
NOTE: Each SCSI device on the same SCSI bus must have a unique SCSI ID. Be sure that the SCSI ID is different for each device and that neither is set to SCSI ID 7, which is reserved for the SCSI controller. NOTE: When adding a second device for configurations using a single SCSI bus. 1. Unplug the SCSI cable from device 1. 2. Pass the end of the cable through internal chassis openings. 3. Plug the end port into device 2. 4. Then plug the middle port into device 1.
3 1U Rack Installation Rail Mounting Kit The rack rails supplied with the 1U rack-mount enclosure can be used to install the unit in racks that have round, square, or threaded holes in the vertical mounting columns. The rails will fit racks with 23 - 34 inches (58 - 86 cm) separation between the front and rear vertical mounting columns. The rails are identical and may be mounted on either the left or the right side. Figure 16 Rail mounting kit components 1. Outer rack rails 2. Inner component rails 3.
When installing the enclosure in a rack: • Start at the bottom of the rack, or at the top of a previously mounted component, and work upward • HP recommends installing the heaviest components at the bottom and lighter ones toward the top of the rack • Make sure that the rack-mounting rails are level from front to back and side to side Before You Begin If you are installing the 1U rack-mount enclosure in a rack with unmarked holes in the vertical mounting columns, identify and mark the correct mounting
1. Insert the pins in front mounting plate of the outer rack rails into the previously marked holes in the front vertical mounting columns of the rack. The rack rails will lock securely into place. Figure 18 Inserting the pins NOTE: To remove the rail for repositioning, push the spring-loaded tab (3) on the outside of the rack rail and slide it forward (4). 2.
1. Remove the pins and threaded plates from both ends of each outer rack rail. These pieces will not be used. Figure 20 Removing the pins and threaded plates NOTE: 2. The ends of the rack rails are marked FRONT and REAR for proper orientation. Attach the front mounting plate of each outer rail to the rack using four 10-32 screws in the previously marked holes in the front vertical mounting columns of the rack.
3. Extend the rack rails past the rear vertical mounting columns and attach the back mounting plate of each outer rail to the rack using four 10-32 screws in the previously marked holes. Figure 22 Attaching the back mounting plate Completing the Installation 1. 2. 3. Ensure all rack safety precautions stated in “Rack Safety” (page 13) have been implemented. Extend the left and right rack rails from the front of the rack.
Figure 24 Connecting the power cord (USB drive installed) 8. Install the cable support clips at the back of the rack rails on one or both sides of the enclosure. Figure 25 Installing the cable support clips 9. 18 Turn on the power to the enclosure with the front panel power button.

B Electrostatic Discharge Preventing Electrostatic Discharge To prevent damaging the system, be aware of the precautions you need to follow when setting up the system or handling parts. A discharge of static electricity from a finger or other conductor may damage system boards or other static-sensitive devices. This type of damage may reduce the life expectancy of the device. To prevent electrostatic damage: • Avoid hand contact by transporting and storing products in static-safe containers.
