QUICK INSTALL GUIDE  
FS4100, FS4500, SC4100, AND FC4100  
Safety Tips  
Caution: A fully loaded enclosure is heavy. Reduce the weight  
!
of the enclosure by removing the drive carriers before  
installing the enclosure in the rack or tower. (You can also  
remove the two APCs to further reduce the weight, if  
required. See the Adaptec Storage Enclosure Installation and  
User’s Guide on the CD for instructions.)  
Caution: To prevent personal injury, have someone assist you  
during rack installation.  
!
!
Caution: If you are installing your enclosure in a rack, prevent  
personal injury and equipment damage by following the rack  
manufacturer’s safety instructions. Install your enclosure only  
in a rack that has been properly secured in an area with  
suitable environmental conditions.  
Step 1: Installing into a Rack or Tower  
(optional)  
Note: Mounting rails for rack installation are sold separately.  
To purchase a rail kit, see your Adaptec reseller.  
Required tools:  
Phillips-head screwdriver  
Wrench for tightening nuts (if your rack does not have threaded  
holes)  
If you are not installing your Storage Enclosure into a rack or  
tower, skip to Step 2: Installing the Drive Carriers on page 6.  
To install your Storage Enclosure into an rack, see page 3.  
To install your Storage Enclosure into a tower assembly, see  
page 5.

Installing into an Equipment Rack  
Begin the installation by removing the components from the  
packaging and placing them on an antistatic surface until you need  
them.  
Ensure that you have all these rail kit components:  
Front rails (1 left, 1 right)  
Rear rails, two different sizes (2 left, 2 right)  
Two sizes of screws (10 large, 4 small)  
Two types of nuts (10 of each)  
To install your Storage Enclosure in an equipment rack:  
1
Secure the front rails to the front supports of the rack, using the  
supplied screws, as shown below.  
Note: Use either the speednuts or cagenuts provided if  
your rack does not have threaded holes.  
2
Check the length between the front and rear supports of your  
equipment rack and determine which set of rear rails to use, the  
long or the short.  
3
   
3
4
Secure the rear rails you selected to the rear supports of the  
equipment rack, using the supplied screws, as shown in the  
Figure in Step 1 on page 3.  
Secure the front rails to the rear rails, as shown below.  
5
6
Tighten all the screws before continuing.  
With assistance from a second person, lift the Storage Enclosure  
and slide the rear of the enclosure onto the rails. Slide the  
enclosure all the way back until it rests completely on the rails,  
as shown in the Figure below.  
You can choose to have someone continue to support the  
enclosure until it is secured in the rack, although this extra  
support is not required.  
4
7
Secure the front of the enclosure with one screw on each side, as  
shown in the next Figure.  
One screw per side  
The equipment rack installation is complete. Continue with Step 2:  
Installing the Drive Carriers on page 6.  
Installing into a Tower Assembly  
A tower assembly is also referred to as a deskside assembly or  
pedestal.  
Caution: Do not modify the tower assembly. The feet are  
designed to keep the tower from tipping over. Do not remove  
the acoustic foam inside the tower skin assembly.  
!
1
If the Storage Enclosure is already set up and running, shut  
down the enclosure and remove all cables and power cords. You  
can remove all the drive carriers and both APCs to reduce the  
weight of the enclosure, if required.  
If the enclosure is in an equipment rack,  
remove the two screws holding it in place at  
the front, then slide the enclosure out of the  
rack. Remove both the right and left rack  
mount ear plastic covers (shown at right), as  
they are no longer needed. (They can be  
removed by pressing on the plastic inserts  
from the backside of the rack mount ear or  
pried off with a screwdriver).  
2
Unpack the tower and inspect it for shipping damage. Do not  
install the enclosure into a damaged or bent tower assembly.  
5
 
3
Remove the tower’s front bezel, as shown below, saving the  
screws for use in Step 5.  
Step 3  
Step 4  
4
Turn the enclosure 90° so that the right hand rack mount ear  
and LEDs are on top, then slide the Storage Enclosure into the  
tower skin, as shown above.  
5
6
Replace the front bezel, using the screws removed in Step 3.  
Install the tower labels at the top and bottom of the tower. Align  
the holes in the top label with the LEDs on the enclosure.  
7
Replace the drive carriers and APCs, if necessary.  
The tower assembly installation is complete. Continue with Step 2:  
Installing the Drive Carriers, below.  
Step 2: Installing the Drive Carriers  
These instructions assume that the drive carriers have already been  
attached to your disk drives.  
Caution: Acclimate new disk drives to room temperature  
before you install them and power up the Storage Enclosure.  
!
To install the drive carriers into the Storage Enclosure:  
1
Hold the drive carrier with the LEDs on the left side (at the  
bottom for tower-mounted systems) and select an open disk  
drive slot.  
Note: It is easiest to install the drive carriers from left to  
right on the Storage Enclosure.

4
With the cam lever of the drive slot fully open, slide the carrier  
into the slot until the lever starts to close.  
Push the cam lever until it engages the latch on the left side of  
the carrier assembly and clicks into place.  
Repeat for all drive carriers.  
Note: Either a drive carrier or a carrier blank must be installed  
in all the slots of the enclosure to maintain proper airflow and  
cooling.  
When all drive carriers are installed, continue with Step 5:  
Connecting Power Cords to the APC Modules.  
Step 3: Setting the Drive Slot and Enclosure IDs  
Each drive slot has a unique ID assigned to it. The IDs are assigned  
by a combination of enclosure ID and slot number.  
Enclosure IDs must be assigned before the unit is powered on. You  
set the enclosure ID to any number on the ID switch of the ES  
module. The ES module is located on the rear of the Storage  
Enclosure, between the two APC modules.  
Slot numbers are preassigned.  
Note: The enclosure ID numbers available on the ID switch  
vary by enclosure model, and are not available on the SC4100.  
For detailed information about your specific Storage  
Enclosure, refer to the Adaptec 2U Storage Enclosure Installation  
and User’s Guide on the CD.  
Step 4: Connecting the I/O Cables  
To connect the I/O cables to your Storage Enclosure, follow the  
instructions provided for your specific Storage Enclosure interface:  
For a SATA interface (Adaptec FS4100 or FS4500), see page 8.  
For an FC interface (Adaptec FC4100), see page 9.  
For an Ultra320 SCSI interface (Adaptec SC4100), see page 10.

Connecting SATA Cables  
The FS4100 and FS4500 Storage Enclosures have removable Small  
Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) connectors that support copper or  
optical cables. Ensure that you have the appropriate SFP installed  
for your cables. See the Adaptec 2U Storage Enclosure Installation and  
User’s Guide on the CD for more cabling information and for daisy-  
chaining instructions.
