Hitachi Unified Storage VM Block Module Hardware User Guide
The following procedure describes how to install the side stabilizer plates.
Installing side stabilizer plates is required only when the rack is installed as
a stand-alone rack system with no equipment mounted in it. The side plates
keep the rack from tipping on its sides. If equipment is mounted in the rack,
the use of these side stabilizer plates is optional.
1. Remove side stabilizer plates from cabinet. The side panels are
grounded inside the cabinet. To remove them, unlock the latches and
then pull panel out and up.
2. Place the stabilizer plate as shown above so it can mate against the
bracket at the bottom sides of frame and align with the holes.
3. Using the hardware supplied, attach both plates as shown in Figure C-
12: View of Hitachi Rack with Side Stabilizer Plates Installed on page C-
26 using the included hex tool.
4. Reinstall the side stabilizer plates.
5. Using the holes on the flat plate's surface, install bolts and washers to
anchor the cabinet to the floor. This hardware is not included in the kit.
The following figure shows the final view after everything is installed.
Moving the rack
The maximum allowable inclination angle for the Hitachi rack is eight
degrees (8°). When moving the rack across steep slopes or different floor
levels, use a ramp as shown in the following figure to form a slope with an
inclination angle (slope) of less than eight degrees.
