Notes

Rack-Mounting the nTier700

These instructions describe rack-mounting a Spectra®nTier700™Appliance. The

procedure is the same for both the nTier700 Intelligent Secondary Storage appliance

and the nTier700 Deduplication Virtual Tape nTier700 (VTL) appliance. Both

appliances are referred to as the nTier700 in these instructions.

Note: The illustrations in these instructions show the nTier700 Intelligent

Secondary Storage appliance, which can contain from one to six

blades. The nTier700 Deduplication VTL appliance contains from

one to three blades, depending on the configuration.

Before You Begin

Obtain the following tools and equipment:

Scissors

#2 Phillips screwdriver, magnetic if available

Standard 19-inch, four-post rack

Measuring tape (recommended)

Level (recommended)

Review the information in Prepare Your Site on page 8.

Identify the location where you will install the nTier700.

Make sure that the rack is assembled and placed near the AC power outlets and

network connections. See Prepare the Rack on page 7 for additional

information.

Unpack the rack-mount kit and identify the following components:

Component # Required Use

consists of the following

components:

Shelf

Adjustable sliders (2)

Secure the chassis to the rack (2)

10-32 x 1/2-inch SEM screws

Rack-Mounting the nTier700

Prepare Your Site

Before rackmounting the nTier700, make sure that an appropriate rack is assembled

and placed near the AC power outlets and network connections.

Caution: The rack must be located on a level, hard-surfaced floor such as

cement or tile. Do not place the rack on a carpeted floor or

anywhere else that poses risk for static discharge that could

damage your nTier700 or its drives.

The nTier700 is 7 in. (18 cm) tall and occupies 4U of rack space. The nTier700 is

designed to fit in a standard 19-inch, 4-post rack but may be too deep for some

enclosed racks. Keep the following requirements in mind:

Using a 4-post rack that is at least 43 inches (110 cm) deep is recommended.

Make sure that the distance between the mounting surfaces on the front and rear

posts is at least 30 inches (76 cm).

Allow approximately 3 inches (8 cm) of additional depth at the back of the rack for

cable clearance.

Check your rack’s specifications to make sure it will accommodate the weight and

depth of the nTier700.

Note: The use of two-post “telco” racks is not supported.

Note: An enclosed 19-inch, four-post rack is available for purchase from

Spectra Logic. The rack has two doors and removable side panels

to provide access to the sides of the nTier700.

Before You Begin

Prepare the Rack

If you are using an enclosed rack with a front door, identify the front of the rack and

make sure that there is at least 1.5 inches (3.8 cm) clearance between the front door

frame and the front mounting posts (Figure 1). This clearance is needed to allow the

front door to close over the nTier700 front panel. If necessary, move the front

mounting posts toward the back of the rack to provide the necessary clearance.

Assemble the rack, if necessary.

Identify the location in the rack where you will install the nTier700. For stability,

Spectra Logic recommends mounting the nTier700 at the bottom of the rack.

If You Need Assistance

If you need assistance with any part of this procedure, contact SpectraGuard Technical

Support (see Contacting Spectra Logic on page 4).

Rackmount the nTier700

Do not install the drives into the blades until after the nTier700 is installed in the rack.

Install the Rack Shelf in the Rack

1. Position the shelf with the adjustable sliders toward the back of the rack. With one

person lifting the front of the shelf and the other lifting the rear, angle the shelf into

the rack so that the mounting tabs on the front and back of the shelf are positioned

inside the rack posts.

2. Lift the front of the shelf and align the lowest hole in the front mounting tabs with

the lowest hole that you want to use on each front post (Figure 2). Make sure the

tabs are behind the cut-outs in the posts. Use a level to make sure the front of the

shelf is level.

3. Using a #2 Phillips screwdriver, install two 10-32 x 1/2-inch SEM screws in the

bottom two holes on each tab to secure the front shelf tabs to the posts. Do not

tighten the screws yet.

4. Lift the back of the shelf and adjust the sliders so that they fit against the insides of

the rear posts.

5. Align the lowest hole in each of the rear mounting tabs so that the shelf is level,

both from front to back and side to side. Using a #2 Phillips screwdriver, install

three 10-32 x 1/2-inch SEM screws in each tab to secure the shelf to the post.

Tighten all 12 screws in the front and rear mounting tabs to secure the shelf

assembly to the rack posts.

Note: Make sure that the two sides of the shelf are attached to the rack at

the same height on all four posts. Use a level to ensure that the

shelf is level from side to side and front to back.

Slide the nTier700 Onto the Rack

Warning: The nTier700 weighs approximately 134 lb. (61 kg) when

empty. Enlist at least two people to help lift the nTier700 out of

the box and into the rack.

Warnung: Die nTier700 wiegt ca. 61 kg, wenn leer. Einstellen mindestens

zwei Menschen zu helfen, heben Sie die nTier700 aus und in

den Halter.

1. Position the nTier700 chassis in front of the rack and lift it onto the rack shelf.

2. Slide the chassis back into the rack until the mounting brackets on each side of the

nTier700 chassis are against the posts.

3. Install one 10-32 x 1/2-inch SEM screw in each bracket to secure the unit to the

rack and tighten the screws.

4. You are now ready to install the drives in your nTier700. Refer to the Spectra

nTier700 User Guide or Spectra nTier700 VTL Installation Guide for instructions.
