DXi3500 and DXi5500 Quick Start Guide

Figure 1 DXi3500 and DXi5500

Choosing a Location

The DXi3500/DXi5500 must be installed in a restricted access location per specification

EN69050-1.This system must only be installed by qualified IT service personnel. This is

required to prevent untrained personnel from allowing body parts or electrically

conductive items to penetrate into the interior of the system when replacing or installing

drives, fans, and power supplies.

When choosing an installation site for the DXi3500/DXi5500 system, consider the

following requirements:

•Rack Space Requirements

•Environmental Conditions

Rack Space Requirements 0Table 1 contains the rack requirements for both the DXi3500 and DXi5500.

Table 1 Rack Requirements DXi3500 DXi5500

Height 3.5 in (8.9 cm), 2U 8.75 (22.2 cm), 5U

Preparing for the Installation 3

DXi3500 and DXi5500

Environmental Conditions 0The installation site must have the following environmental conditions:

• Humidity: 20%-80% non-condensing

• Temperature: 10°C-35°C (50°F-95°F)

• Altitude: 0 to 10,000 feet (0 to 3048 meters)

These environmental conditions apply when the DX-Series system is in operation.

Preparing for the Installation

Before you begin the installation procedure in this section, make the following

preparations as described in this section:

•Providing Necessary Tools

•Taking ESD Precautions

Providing Necessary

Tools 0Provide the following tools for unpacking and installing the DXi3500 and DXi5500

systems:

• #1 PHILLIPS® screwdriver

• #2 PHILLIPS screwdriver

• #1 Flat head screwdriver

• Antistatic wrist strap included in accessory kit

Taking ESD Precautions 0Some components within the DXi3500 and DXi5500 systems contain static-sensitive parts.

To avoid damaging these parts while performing installation procedures, always observe

the following precautions:

• Keep the DXi3500/DXi5500 system turned off during all installation procedures.

• Use an antistatic wrist strap (included in the accessory kit).

• Keep static-sensitive parts in their original shipping containers until ready for

installation.

DXi3500 and DXi5500 Quick Start Guide

• Do not place static-sensitive parts on a metal surface. Place them inside their

protective shipping bag or on an antistatic mat.

• Avoid touching connectors and other components.

Unpacking the DXi3500/DXi5500

This section explains how to unpack both the DXi3500 and DXi5500 system components

and move them to their final installation location.

By following these instructions, you help ensure that the system will continue to be

safeguarded after it arrives at the installation site.

Unpack and remove the following components from the packing materials (see figure 2

and figure 3):

• DXi3500 or DXi5500 chassis

• Hard drive sleds

• Accessory kit

Note: Dry climates and cold-weather heating environments have lower relative

humidity and are more likely to produce static electricity.

Caution: Do NOT discard the packing materials after the system is unpacked. The

packaging materials must be used if the system is relocated.

Warning: The DXi3500 weighs 38 lbs (17.24 kg) and the DXi5500 weights 85 lbs

(38.56 kg) without hard drives. Two people are required to lift either unit.

Installing the DXi3500/DXi5500 System 7

DXi3500 and DXi5500

Installing the DXi3500/DXi5500 System

Installing the DXi3500/5000 in a rack consists of the following steps:

•Locating the Mounting Position

•Installing the DXi3500/DXi5500 Chassis

Locating the Mounting

Position 0Both the DXi3500 and DXi5500 systems are designed to fit in a standard 19 inch wide rack.

It is important to the chassis installation to locate the hole pattern in the rack rails (see

figure 4).

Figure 4 Rail Hole Pattern

Warning: If the rack is empty at the time of installation, do NOT install the DXi3500

or DXi5500 chassis too high in the rack. The weight of the chassis may

cause the rack to become “top heavy” and unstable if installed in the top of

an empty rack.

DXi3500 and DXi5500

Installing the DXi3500/

DXi5500 Chassis 0To install the DXi3500/DXi5500 chassis:

1Assemble the DXi3500/DXi5500 support brackets figure 5:

•For the DXi5500 - The DXi5500 rails are preset for easy installation. Loosen the two

nuts securing the back portion of the rail so the rail can adjust to the depth of the

rack.

•For the DXi3500 - The DXi3500 rails are preset for 28 in (71.1cm). Loosen the nuts

to adjust the rails to the depth of the rack.

Note: Quantum ships sufficient clip nuts to support mounting the DXi3500/DXi5500

rack rails and also to secure the front of the chassis to the rails.

Note: Ensure that clip nuts are installed on the rails (see figure 4) prior to installing

the DXi5500 rails.

Note: Two sizes of support brackets are included with the DXi3500 rails to

support various rack depths. Measure the depth of the rack to determine

the depth. The short brackets (5 in., 12.7cm) are used for rack depths of 28

to 31 in (71.1 to 78.7 cm). The long brackets (10 in., 25.4 cm) are used for

rack depths of 32 to 36 in (81.3 to 91.4 cm). Use the appropriate support

bracket for your rack.

2Install the left and right chassis support brackets at the beginning of a hole pattern

(see Locating the Mounting Position) and secure as follows (see figure 6):

•DXi3500 - One 10-32 x .25 in. Slotted screw and a three hole nut plate on each rail

at the front and back of the rack. 10-32 x .25 in. PHILLIPS screws and nuts are also

provided for racks with threaded holes (M5 x 32 metric also provided).

•DXi5500 - Two 10-32 x .50 in. PHILLIPS screws on each rail at the front and back of

the rack for the DXi5500 (M5 x 32 metric also provided).

Note: The support brackets extend to accommodate rack depths of 30 to 36 in.

(76.2 to 91.4 cm).

Note: The DXi3500 support brackets must be installed on the inside rack rails.

DXi3500: The brackets are

secured with four #8 PHILLIPS

screws and four nuts.
