Site requirements
Select an installation site that meets the detailed installation site requirements
described in the user guide on the Documentation CD.
1 Installing the enclosure
WARNING: The D6000 with no drives installed weighs
72.58 kg (160.00 lb). With all drives and components
installed, the enclosure can weigh up to 145.15 kg (320 lb).
Before configuring your rack solution, be sure to check the
manufacturer weight limits and specifications. Failure to do so
can result in physical injury or damage to the equipment and
the facility.
CAUTION: Always plan the rack installation so that the
heaviest item is on the bottom of the rack. Install the heaviest
item first, and continue to populate the rack from the bottom to
the top.
CAUTION: HP has not tested or validated the D6000 with
any third-party racks. Before installing the D6000 in a
third-party rack, be sure to properly scope the limitations of
the rack and consider the following:
• You must fully understand the static and dynamic load
carrying capacity of the rack and be sure that it can
accommodate the weight of the D6000.
• You must install a 1U tray beneath the D6000 to ensure
proper support.
• Be sure sufficient clearance exists for cabling, installation
and removal of the enclosure, actuation of the rack doors,
and full articulation of the drive drawers.
IMPORTANT: Some racks other than the HP Rack 10000
Series rack do not allow full access to hard drive bays 29–35
in hard drive drawer 2.
The rack rails are marked for easy identification. The left rack rail is marked "L" and
the right rack rail is marked "R."
To install the rack rails:
1. Begin with the left rack rail. Align the end of the rail with the rear rack column.
2. Slide the rack rail closed until the end of the rail is locked in place, wrapping
behind the rear rack column.
