Installing the compute node

The NetBackup 5330 requires two RU rack spaces. Veritas recommends that you install the compute node in the space on top of the primary shelf.

The rails require one RU rack space and must be installed in the upper RU of the two required for the compute node.

To install the compute node

  1. Use the rack rail templates that are provided with the compute node.

    • Determine which 2 RUs to use.

    • Determine which rack holes to use for pins and screws.

  2. Locate the RUs on the front and the rear of the rack that you plan to use.
  3. At the front of the rack, install a cage nut in the center hole of the lower RU on each side.

    This hole is used later to secure the compute node to the rack.

  4. Locate the left rail, marked with an L on the side near the front.

    The marked side of the rail must face the side of the rack cabinet when mounted, not the side of the compute node.

  5. Identify the protrusions at the end of the rails.

    The square protrusion at the top should be placed in the top hole of the RU. The round blue protrusion at the bottom should be placed in the bottom hole of the RU.

  6. At the rear upper RU of the rack, insert the rear of the rail into the top and the bottom holes of the RU.
  7. Extend the rail toward the front of the rack and insert it into the top and the bottom holes of the RU.
  8. Repeat steps 6 and 7 to install the right rail.
  9. Make sure that both rails are parallel and secure.
  10. Fully extend both rails forward until the release buttons click.
  11. Carefully lift the compute node and tilt the rear down towards the back of the rails.
  12. Locate the slots at the back of each rail.
  13. Insert the two rear standoff pegs that extend from the side of the compute node into the last rail slots.
  14. Lower the front of the compute node into the rail slots at the front of the rail extenders. A peg in the middle and a peg at the front of the compute node fit into the rail slots.
  15. Lift up on the rail release buttons and slide the compute node completely into the rack.
  16. Secure the compute node to the rack on each side by tightening the thumbscrew on the front.
