Hardware Installation ETERNUS DX500 S3 and DX600 S3
Fit the Controller Enclosure and/or Drive Enclosure to the rack
For more and detailed information use the Hardware Installation Guide for the ETERNUS DX Midrange S3; inp-R14B EN1)
For better stability installation of hardware in a rack has to start from the bottom
Always have tilt prevention in place when installing HD-DE
Make sure in advance that the maximum load capacity of the raised floor construction is not exceeded when installing High Density Drive Enclosures (that can be extremely heavy when fully populated)
Controller Enclosure: maximum 54 kg
Drive Enclosure: maximum 35 kg
HD Drive Enclosure: maximum 95 kg

Verify with the customer that all server I/O is stopped
Also confirm that the Cache LED in the Operator Panel is off
Hold down the power switch of the Controller Enclosure for approximately 5 seconds
The ETERNUS DX system will shutdown all Enclosures gracefully
In case of moving ETERNUS to a new location, you naturally have to also disconnect the AC power cords from the PDUs after the system is powered off
Make sure the Cache LED of the Controller Enclosure is off
