Connecting Power Cords
Before you attach the power cords to the Nearchive enclosure, make sure the three Power
switches on the Nearchive enclosure power modules are in the off (O) position.
To connect the power cords to the Nearchive enclosure and other components:
1. Plug one power cord into the right power connector on the back of the Nearchive
enclosure.
2. Plug one power cord into the left power connector on the back of the Nearchive
enclosure.
3. Plug the power cords into power outlets.
4. Plug the monitor power cord into a power outlet.
Continue with “Installing the Nearchive Drives” on page 27.
Installing in a Rack
The following sections describe how to install the Nearchive enclosure in a rack.
Installing the Nearchive Enclosure Rack-Mount Rails
If you are installing the Nearchive enclosure in a rack, follow the instructions supplied in the
Nearchive enclosure rail kit to install the rack-mount rails while ensuring that:
• The rails do not interfere with the power strips, power cords, or other cables at the back
of the rack.
• The bottom of the Nearchive enclosure is at the bottom of a U-alignment space.
• The rails span two U-alignment spaces and use the middle two slots for screws (see
“Aligning the Nearchive Rails to the Rack” on page 26).
• The rails allow the Nearchive enclosure to slide completely into the rack.
• The front edge of the slides are set back approximately 1/2 inch from the rack front
channels.
