4. Install the base and expansion units
1. Select an appropriate location. Refer to the AMS 2100/2300 Storage
System Hardware Guide (MK-97DF8010).
2. Base and expansion units ordered with the Hitachi Global 19-inch rack
are delivered preinstalled in the rack. If you use a different rack, refer
to and follow all safety precautions in the documentation for the rack.
CAUTION! Observe all safety guidelines in the following documents:
•
AMS 2100/2300 Site Preparation Guide (MK-98DF8149)
•
AMS 2100/2300 Storage System Hardware Guide (MK-97DF8010)
•
The documentation for your rack
To avoid damage to the storage system or storage system components due
to electrostatic discharge (ESD), wear an anti-static wrist strap when
handling the storage system. Connect the clip to an unpainted part of the
storage system chassis frame to safely channel any static electricity
generated by your body to ground. If no wrist strap is available, ground
yourself by touching an unpainted part of the storage system chassis frame.
5. Install drives
Drives are preinstalled. To install additional drives:
1. Wear an anti-static wrist strap connected to the chassis of the base or
expansion unit.
2. Place a finger under the blue lever at the top of the drive tray. Then
gently pull the lever forward.
3. Holding the lever, gently pull the drive tray toward you until the tray is
about half way out of the slot.
4. Hold the top and bottom of the drive tray and remove it from the unit.
5. If the slot where the drive is to be installed has a filler, remove the filler.
6. Orient the new drive so the gold edge connectors on the rear of the drive
are at the rear of the drive tray and the label on the drive faces the right.
7. Insert the drive into the rear of the drive tray and slide the drive forward
until the 3 rectangular hooks on the drive (2 on top and 1 on the bottom)
enter the rectangular holes on the top and bottom of the drive tray.
8. Place the drive on the slot's guide rail, then gently slide the drive into
the slot (shown by the arrow in
when the blue lever at the top of the drive tray starts to rise.
9. Secure the drive tray in the unit by pushing the blue lever to the top until
the lever snaps into place.
10.To install additional drives, repeat steps 3 through 9.
NOTE: Drive slots that do not have a drive must have a filler. If a slot does
not have a filler installed, insert a filler into the slot. Insert the filler slowly,
so the latch (round dent) on the filler moves to the right.
