2 Prerequisites

2.1 Safety

2.2 Tools

2.1.1 Static Discharge

2.1.2 Enclosure Size

There are additional considerations and some preparation required before installing the ES102 into a rack.

The ES102 is much larger than other Expansion Shelves sold by iXsystems. Be sure to take full safety precautions

when installing or servicing the enclosure.

Static electricity can build up in your body and discharge when touching conductive materials. Electrostatic Dis-

charge (ESD) is very harmful to sensitive electronic devices and components. Keep these safety recommendations in

mind before opening the system case or handling system components:

1. Turn o the system and remove the power cable before opening the system case or touching any internal com-

ponents.

2. Place the system on a clean, hard work surface like a wooden tabletop. Using an ESD dissipative mat can also

help protect the internal components.

3. Touch the metal chassis with your bare hand before touching any internal component, including components not

yet installed in the system. This redirects static electricity in your body away from the sensitive internal components.

Using an anti-static wristband and grounding cable is another option.

4. Store all system components in anti-static bags.

More details about ESD and preventative tips can be found at https://www.wikihow.com/Ground-Your-

self-to-Avoid-Destroying-a-Computer-with-Electrostatic-Discharge

These tools are needed to properly install the ES102 in a compatible rack:

Long T15 screwdriver and a #2 Philips head screwdriver.

These items are not required, but can be useful when installing the ES102:

Tape measure, level, at head screwdriver, and cable ties.

The ES102 weighs 70 lbs unloaded and requires a minimum of two people to lift.

Do not attempt to lift the ES102 when it is fully populated with drives! The total weight of a fully-populated sys-

tem is over 260 lbs. When removing a fully-populated system from a rack, remove the drives before de-racking the

enclosure.

You will need at least 37.5” (952.5mm) empty space in front of a racked ES102 to fully extend the enclosure to ac-

cess all drive bays. Due to the weight of the enclosure, this can be a tipping hazard for the rack. Be sure to follow all

tipping prevention instructions recommended by your rack provider before installing the ES102.

3 ES102 Rail Installation Procedures

3.1 Enclosure Rails

Each rack rail includes an inner chassis rail that must be removed. Extend the innermost rail as shown below until

it clicks into place and the metal safety catch is fully exposed. Push the safety catch in and continue to pull out the

innermost rail until it is completely free from the rack rail. Repeat the process for the second rail.

The chassis rails are attached to each side of the ES102. Align the chassis rail keyholes with the posts on the side

of the ES102. Slide the rail towards the rear of the system until the metal tab clicks and locks the rail in place. Use

three of the included short M4 Philips screws to secure the rail to the ES102. Repeat this process on the other side.

The Cable Management Arm attach point will be at the back of the system.

There are several steps to installing the rails on both the ES102 and inside the rack. The chassis rails need to be

separated from the larger rack rails and installed on the ES102. Then, the rack rails need to be tted inside the rack.

Additional components for securing the ES102 drive cover and latching the unit in the rack are also installed before

the ES102 can be reattached to the rack rails and installed in the rack.

2.3 Rack Requirements

At minimum, the ES102 requires 4U of space in a EIA-310 compliant rack that is 47.24” (1200mm) deep, from frame

to frame. The vertical rack rails need to be spaced between 31.5” - 36.2” (800mm - 920mm) apart to properly install

the ES102 rails. It is recommended to adjust the front vertical rack rails to be as close to the front of the rack as

possible to prevent the cable management arms (CMAs) from protruding from the back of the rack. The system with

CMAs attached is 47.1 (1197mm) deep.

The rack must be a standard 17.72” - 18.31” (450mm - 465mm) wide, although a minimum 33.5” (850mm) cabinet

width allows for using a zeroU PDU with the enclosure. Narrower cabinets could require a rack-mounted PDU to

properly allow the enclosure to be fully installed into the rack and properly cabled with the included Cable Manage-

ment Arms.

For 52U racks, iXsystems recommends the AR3357X674. In a 42U rack, iXsystems recommends the AR3350 APC. It

is recommended to use the lowest 4U of available space in the rack to better balance the weight of the system with

other equipment installed in that rack.

The ES102 occupies 4U of rack space. The front rail pins are mounted to the bottom-most attach points of this 4U

and back rail pins are mounted to one space above the bottom-most attach points of the 4U. The rails are stamped

for left side (L) and right side (R) of the rack, according to your perspective when facing the rack.

3.2 Rack Rails

When installed correctly, the front and rear of the rail will be level and the inner part of the rail with the gray bearing

sleeve is facing the inside of the rack. Use the same procedure to install the other rail, but make sure both left and

right rails are installed at the same height mounting holes in each rack post.

The rear of the rail can slide to accomodate racks that

have 32 -36 inches of space between the front and rear

rack posts.

Align the rear rail pins with the mounting holes in the rack

and push forward until the blue release catch clicks into

place over the rack. Note the rear rail pins install into one

mounting hole higher than the front rail pins. If available,

use a level to ensure the front and back of the rail are

even.

Install the front of the rail rst. Align the rail pins with the

mounting holes in the rack and push forward until the

front latch clicks into place on the rack.

Double check that an additional 2U of rack space is avail-

able above the rail.

Use three of the included washers and T15 M5 screws to secure the rear of the rail to the rack post.

4 Cover Retention

4.1 Attach Cage Nuts

4.2 Install Alignment Brackets

5 Latch Plates

Installing the cover retention components allows for holding the cover in place when the unit is slid forward out of

the rack, greatly simplifying drive bay access. This requires installing alignment brackets over the rear of the rack

rails and cage nuts at the front of the system for the included cover retention screws.

You will need two of the included square cage nuts.

Take a cage nut and add it the topmost rack mounting

hole of the required 4U of space. A at head screwdriver

can be helpful to push the cage nut “wings” into the rack

mounting hole.

The nut will be inside the rack, with the attach “wings” ori-

ented horizontally. Repeat this process for the other rack

post and make sure both cage nuts are installed parallel

rack mounting holes.

Place the included Cover Alignment Bracket over the rail and align it with the mounting holes on the rear of the rack

rail. The groove in the bracket must be pointed toward the inside of the rack. Use ve washers and T15 M5 screws to

secure the bracket to the rear of the rack rail.

The latch plates are used to hold the enclosure in place when it is fully inserted into the rack. They attach to the

front of the rack rails and also help secure the rails to the rack. Align the plate over the three holds between the rack

rail front mounting pins. The ange must be pointed to the outside of the rack. Use three T15 M5 screws to secure

the latch plate, rack post, and rack rails together.

Use the same procedure to install the second alignment brack to the other rail. Make sure that the grooves on the

top of both brackets are pointed inside the rack. The ES102 cover will slide into these grooves when it is pushed into

the rack.

Use the same procedure to install the second plate on the front of the other rail. Make sure that both anges on the

latch plates are pointed to the outside of the rack.

6 Mount the Unit in the Rack

Caution: Two people are required to safely lift the chassis for rack installation or removal. It is recommended

to have a third person help align the enclosure rails with the rack rails. Do not install drives until after the chassis

has been installed in the rack, and remove all drives before removing the chassis from the rack.

Locate the metal safety catches on each chassis rail and squeeze them into the chassis (1). Holding the safety catch-

es in place, push the chassis into the rack (2) until the chassis latches are touching the rail latch plates.

Slide the middle part of the rack rails out of the rack until they click into place (1). Make sure the inner bearing

sleeve is also slid as far forward as possible (2).

Caution: Do not use the front handles to lift the ES102! These handles are only intended for unlatching and slid-

ing the enclosure after it has been attached to the rack rails. They cannot support the weight of the system.

Lift the ES102, align the attached cabinet rails with the middle rack rails, and push the ES102 into the rack rails until

it stops.

6.1 Attach Cover Retention Screws

To hold the ES102 cover in place when the system is slid out of the rack, attach the two included Philips head reten-

tion screws through the left and right cover retention holes and into the installed cage nuts. Make sure both screws

are tight enough to securely hold the cover in place.

Make sure the enclosure cover slides into the Alignment Bracket grooves at the rear of the rack. To minimize any

jarring motions, softly secure the enclosure in place by swinging the front handles out (1) and gently pushing the en-

closure forward until it is fully in the rack (2). When the handles are released, the enclosure latches will catch behind

the latch plates and hold the system in the rack (3).
