2 Preparing To Remove the Scalar LTFS Appliance

Preparing To Remove the Scalar LTFS Appliance

Before removing any part, do the following:

• Obtain the required tools:

• #2 PHILLIPS®screw driver

• Materials for labeling cables

• Request the assistance of another person to help you.

WARNING: Whenever you need to lift the Scalar LTFS Appliance, get others to

assist you. To avoid injury, do not attempt to lift the Scalar LTFS

Appliance by yourself. The Scalar LTFS Appliance weighs 57.54

pounds (26.1 kg). Two people are required to lift the unit

Note: You will be replacing only the damaged rails (chassis rails or rack rails)

and not the entire rackmount.

Removing the Chassis and Rails From the Rack

To remove the Scalar LTFS Appliance chassis from the rack, complete the

following steps:

Note: Before you begin this procedure, be sure you powered down the Scalar

LTFS Appliance (see Turning Off the Scalar LTFS Appliance on page 1).

1Label the cables so that you can reconnect them to the correct ports.

2Remove all power, SAS, Ethernet, and Fibre Channel cables from the back of

the Scalar LTFS Appliance.

3Hold the power button in at least 20 seconds to discharge all of the

condensers before opening the Scalar LTFS Appliance.

4Remove the PHILLIPS screws that are securing the Scalar LTFS Appliance to

the front of the rack.

5Press the slide-release lock button on both rails and slide the system from

the rack (see Figure 1).

6Lift up slightly to remove the Scalar LTFS Appliance out of the rail J-slots and

place it on a flat surface.

Replacing the Rails in the Rack

To replace the rails in the rack, complete the following steps:

Note: When replacing the rails refer to Figure 2 on page 4 for square holes

and Figure 3 on page 5 for round holes.

1Position the left and right rail end pieces labeled FRONT facing inward and

orient each end piece to seat in the holes on the front side of the vertical

rack flanges.

2Align each end piece in the bottom and top holes of the desired U spaces.

3Engage the back end of the rail until it fully sets on the vertical rack flange

and the latch locks into place.

4Repeat Step 1 through Step 3 to position and seat the front end piece on

the vertical rack flange.

from the rack by approximately 1/8 inch (0.3175 cm).

5Place the Scalar LTFS Appliance on a level surface and align the four J-slots

on the chassis rails with the corresponding pins on the system. Slide the

chassis rails towards the back of the system until each one locks into place

(see Figure 4 on page 6)

Reinstalling the Chassis in the Rack

To reinstall the Scalar LTFS Appliance chassis back into the rack, complete the

following steps:

WARNING: Ensure that the system is properly supported until the chassis rails

are locked into the slide rails on both sides.

WARNING: The Scalar LTFS Appliance weighs 37.3 lbs (16.9 KG). Two people

are required to lift the chassis.

1Pull the inner slide rails out of the rack until they lock into place.

2Locate the rear rail standoff on each side of the Scalar LTFS Appliance and

lower them into the rear J-slots on the slide assemblies.

3Rotate the Scalar LTFS Appliance downward until all the rail standoffs are

seated in the J-slots.

4Push the Scalar LTFS Appliance inward until the lock levers click into place.

5Press the slide-release lock button on both rails and slide the system into the

rack.

Note: Figure 4 shows nodes with the bezel; however, the bezel is actually

added after the components are installed in the rack.
