3. Align the bottom of the rail with the bottom of the two rack units. Insert the rail location pins 1 through the holes in the rack cabinet. 4. Insert a clamping screw into the rack mounting hole 3 between the rail location pins.
Step 6. Installing the enclosures CAUTION: 1. To lift and install the enclosure into the rack requires at least two people. 2. Load the rack from the bottom to ensure rack stability. Empty the rack from the top down. Following your enclosure location plan, install the correct type of enclosure starting from the bottom.
Figure 14. Securing an enclosure to a rack cabinet 5. Push the end caps back into position. 6. Repeat this procedure for each additional enclosure that you install. Step 7. Installing the support rails for file module slides Review the documentation that comes with the rack cabinet for safety and cabling information.
– Minimum depth of 718 mm (28.27 inch) and maximum depth of 762 mm (30 inch) between the front and rear mounting flanges to support the use of the cable management arm. Note: The maximum distance between the front and the rear EIA rails of the rack is 810 mm (31.9 inch).
Friction rail (left) Friction rail (right) M6 screws Front of rails Figure 16. Friction rail box contents. If the slide rails in your rack installation kit came with shipping thumbscrews, remove them before you begin the following installation procedure. Follow these installation instructions: 1.
Figure 18. Open the rear slide rail hooks. Note: If you are installing the slide rails into a 1U space with devices already installed directly above and below this 1U space, you need to extend the slide rails to slide the rear of the slide rails into the rear of the rack. When installing a 2U device, be sure to install the slide rails in the bottom positon of the 2U area in the rack.
Figure 20. Install the front end of the slide rails. 5. Press the blue button to release the bracket. Push the front latch in all the way. Make sure the latch is fully engaged. Repeat steps 1 through 5 to install the other rail into the rack.
Figure 22. Install the file module on the slide rails. 2. Lift the locking levers 1 on the slide rails and push the file module 2 all the way into the rack until it clicks into place. Figure 23. Slide the file module into the rack. 3.
Figure 24. Install the cable management support arm. The graphic shows the rear of the rack. Note: Make sure the arm with junctions is facing the file module. Place the cable management arm on the support arm. Pull out both cable management arm pins and then slide the cable management arm tabs into the slots on both inside and outside of the slide rail.
Figure 26. Adjust the location of the cable management arm. 6. Attach the power cords and other cables to the rear of the file module (including keyboard, monitor, and mouse cables, if required). Route the cables and power cords on the cable management arm 1 and secure them with cable ties or hook-and-loop fasteners.
Figure 28. Secure the cable management arm and the file module in the rack for shipping if needed. 8. Slide the file module into the rack until it snaps into place. To slide the file module out of the rack, press on the release latches 1 . Note: When you move the rack cabinet, or if you install the rack cabinet in a vibration-prone area, insert the M6 screws 2 in the front of the file module.
v No more than four expansion enclosures can be chained to port 2 (above the control enclosure). The connecting sequence from port 2 of the node canister is called chain 2. v No cable can be connected between a port on an upper canister and a port on a lower canister.

This task assumes that your initial planning has determined where the Ethernet cables are to be located. The Storwize V7000 Unified control enclosures require at least one and a maximum of two 1 Gbps Ethernet connections. Refer to Figure 34 and Table 2.
If you encounter that situation, change the service IP addresses on the new nodes before connecting the Ethernet cables. For details, see “Initialize the Storwize V7000” on page 41 or see the IBM Storwize V7000 Troubleshooting, Recovery, and Maintenance Guide PDF on the DVD for further information about setting service IP addresses using a USB key.
Ethernet port on the second file module. Refer to Figure 9 on page 9 for port locations. Note: Ethernet cables for the internal network are provided by IBM with the file modules. v Connect an Ethernet cable from Ethernet port 2 on first file module to Ethernet port 2 on the second file module.
Step 12. Connecting the power cords Control enclosure: Two power supply units are located in each enclosure. Ensure that the power switches for the storage controller and expansion enclosures power supply unit are switched off. Note: Each power supply unit comes with an attached cable retention bracket that fastens around the power cord to prevent the cord from being removed accidentally.
Figure 37. Sliding the cable retention bracket directly behind the power cord 7. Tighten the fastener around the plug. 8. Repeat the steps for each additional power cord. 9. Plug the power cords into a properly grounded electrical outlet. To provide power failure redundancy, plug the power cords for the individual power supply units for each enclosure into separate power distribution circuits, if possible.
Control enclosure: Attention: Do not operate the system when the drive assemblies are missing. Drive assemblies that are missing disrupt the airflow; the drives do not receive sufficient cooling. You must insert blank carriers into unused drive bays. Powering on an expansion enclosure: 1.
