Complete this task to remove the hardware resources from the enclosure to minimize the weight of the DS6000™ before you install it in the rack.
The fully populated enclosure weighs more than 109 lbs (49.5 kg). You need at least three people to lift and install a fully populated DS6000 into the rack. If you do not have three people that are available to lift the DS6000 into the rack, you must remove the hardware resources from the enclosure to reduce the weight before you lift it. If you have three people to lift and install the DS6000, you might not find it necessary to remove the resources before installation. If this is the case, you can skip this section.
The following images show how to remove the cardboard sides of the shipping box from around the enclosure.
- Make sure to follow ESD procedures by using an anti-static wrist strap. You will also need a cart or level surface to hold the resources.
- Remove all the resources in the DS6000 storage and server enclosures to minimize the weight.
