Learn how to install a E5724, EF570, EF280, E2812, E2824, DE212C, or DE224C

storage system in a two-post rack or a NetApp system cabinet.

Before you begin

Before you install the hardware, make sure you do the following:

•Register your hardware at mysupport.netapp.com.

•Prepare a flat, static-free work area.

•Obtain an ESD wristband and take anti-static precautions.

Read through all the instructions before proceeding with the steps below.

Steps

1. Unpack the hardware contents, and then inventory the contained hardware against the packing slip.

2. Install the rails.

If instructions were included with your rack-mounting hardware, refer to them for detailed information on

how to install the rails. For additional rack-mounting instructions, see Rack-mount hardware.

Install hardware from the bottom of the rack or cabinet up to the top to prevent the

equipment from toppling over.

3. Install the shelf.

When fully loaded with drives, each shelf weighs approximately 64 lb (29 kg). Two persons

or mechanical lift are required to safely move the shelf.

a. Starting with the shelf you want at the bottom of the cabinet, place the back of the shelf (the end with

the connectors) on the rails.

b. Supporting the shelf from the bottom, slide it into the cabinet.

4. Secure the shelf.

Secure the shelf to the rack as directed in Rack-mount hardware.

a. Insert screws into the first and third holes from the top of the shelf on both sides to secure it to the front

of the cabinet.

b. Place two back brackets on each side of the upper rear section of the shelf. Insert screws into the first

and third holes of each bracket to secure the back of the cabinet.

5. Install the bezel or end caps.

a. Position the front bezel in front of the controller shelf so that the holes at each end align with the

fasteners on the controller shelf.

b. Snap the bezel into place.

c. If you have optional drive shelves, position the left end cap in front of the drive shelf so that the holes in

the end cap align with the fasteners on the left side of the shelf.

d. Snap the end cap into place.

e. Repeat the above steps for the right end cap.

Connect the cables

Learn how to attach the power cables and power on the drive shelves.

Before you begin

•Install your hardware.

•Take anti-static precautions.

Steps

1. Cable the shelves.

Cable the system according to your configuration. If you need more cabling options than the examples

shown, see Cabling.

For the examples shown, you need the following cables:

SAS cables

Example A: E5700 controller shelf with three DE212C/DE224 disk shelves in a standard SAS

configuration.

a. Cable controller A to IOM A of the first drive shelf.

b. Cable IOM A of the first drive shelf to IOM A of the second drive shelf.

c. Cable IOM A of the second drive shelf to IOM A of the third drive shelf.

d. Cable controller B to IOM B of the third drive shelf.

e. Cable IOM B of the second drive shelf to IOM B of the third drive shelf.

f. Cable IOM B of the first drive shelf to IOM B of the second drive shelf.

Example B: An E5700 controller shelf with one DE212C/DE224 disk shelf in a standard SAS

configuration.

a. Cable controller A to IOM A.

b. Cable controller B to IOM B.

2. Power the drive shelves.

You need the following cables:

Power cables

Confirm the drive shelf power switches are off.

a. Connect the two power cables for each shelf to different power distribution units (PDUs) in the cabinet

or rack.

b. If you have drive shelves, turn on their two power switches first. Wait 2 minutes before applying power

to the controller shelf.

c. Turn on the two power switches on the controller shelf.

d. Check the LEDs and seven-segment display on each controller.

During boot, the seven-segment display shows the repeating sequence of OS, Sd, blank to indicate the

controller is performing start-of-day processing. After the controller has booted up, the shelf ID is

displayed.
