Preparing the appliance to install the additional hardware
Best practices recommend removing the appliance from the rack to access the inside of the chassis. Alternatively you can pull out the appliance on its rails. Be sure that the appliance and rack are stable.
To prepare the NetBackup 5230 appliance for the installation of the hardware
- Verify that the appliance is turned off. Refer to this section as needed.
- Slide the NetBackup 5230 appliance forward on the rails to the full extension.
Caution:
The unit weighs up to 65 lbs (29.5 kg). Make sure that sliding it forward does not destabilize the rack.
- Use these steps if it is necessary to remove the appliance from the rack.
Label and disconnect all cables, including the power cords, from the rear panel of the appliance.
Warning:
If the cables are reconnected to the wrong ports, data can be corrupted or lost when the appliance is turned on.
Loosen the two front screws that secure the appliance in the rack and remove the appliance from the rack cabinet.
Place the unit on a grounded, ESD protective surface.
- Do the following to remove the chassis cover:
Put on an ESD-compliant wrist strap or take other ESD-protective measures.
Remove the four screws (1) from the top of the chassis cover as shown in the figure.
Press the blue thumb grips (2) to release the locks and slide the cover back 0.5 inches (1.27 cm).
Lift the cover off the chassis and set it aside where it cannot be damaged.
