Unpacking a 5U enclosure

About this task

  • DDICs ship in a separate container and must be installed into the enclosure drawers during product installation. For rackmount installations, DDICs are installed after the enclosure is mounted in the rack. See Populating drawers with DDICs.
  • For enclosures configured with FC or iSCSi controller modules that require SFP transceivers, see SFP transceiver for FC/iSCSI ports.
CAUTION A 5U enclosure does not ship with DDICs installed, but the rear panel controller modules or IOMs are installed. This partially populated enclosure weights approximately 64 kg (142 lb). You need a minimum of two people to remove the enclosure from the box.

Steps

Unpack the 5U84 storage system and identify the items in your shipment.
NOTE The cables that are used with the enclosure are not shown in the following figure. The rail kit and accessories box is located below the 5U84 enclosure shipping box lid.
