Choose where to install the base enclosure

Before installing the new base enclosure, determine the placement of the new base enclosure within the rack.

Steps

  1. Install the base enclosure in the lowest available 2U space, leaving 2U of space at the bottom of the rack for serviceability.
    Most cabinets mark 1U increments with horizontal lines or small holes in the channels.
  2. If this is the second base enclosure to be installed in the rack, install it directly into the 2U space above the first base enclosure.
    NOTE:For additional rack space considerations, refer to the PowerStore Planning Guide.
  3. Considering these recommendations, choose a 2U space in the cabinet for the base enclosure.
    NOTE:It is recommended that you include 36 inches of clearance in front of and behind the rack to avoid a system shutdown if maintenance or service activities are required.
