Thank you for the suggestions!  IBM's even got some slick video clips
integrated in with the online HW instructions.

My Suggestion:

1) Attach the Rack Mount Kit to the machine (This removes a lot of
useless junk around the machine), but don't attach the front plate just
yet.
Set it on a Desk, so you can work on it comfortably.

2) Gut the machine out (FSP, Fan Assembly, 1st PSU, etc. pp.). Install
the RAM.

3) Reinsert Fan, PSU and FSP

4) Install 2nd PSU

5) Insert 5776 / 5736

6) Add 6594, Add drives

7) Close the machine. Insert it into the rack.

8) Attach DVD-RAM to 5736

And take enough time. Take care with every step you do. It's not
difficult to do, but you need to pay constant attention. There are very
detailed instructions for all these steps on IBMs hardware infocenter.

That's what it looked like.  Would you suggest doing that memory
operation
before doing the rack mount?  I'll be doing the following upgrades:

-Add 2gb memory to existing 2gb
-Add 6594 4 disk expansion cage
-Adding 4 drives to 6594 cage
-Adding DVD-RAM
-Adding second power supply
-Rack Mounting
-Adding 5736 tape controller - PCI
-Adding 5776 DASD controller - PCI

Would there be any order to doing these that might work best?

I've put memory in a 520 before you have to just about gut the system
unit.

That's normal for Express machines.

Remember, if you ordered an Express 520, you get the tower model with a
rack conversion kit. Takes about 60 Minutes if it is your first time
doing this conversion.

Installing memory in 520 is also a very funny customer MES operation.
You have to take almost the whole machine apart to install the memory.
They aren't built as cleanly as an xSeries 346 or similar machines.

I'd make them tell you exactly what's required to be done when it ships
back to them to make sure you're covered... that sounds like a messy
situation!

Our new 520 Express setup is shipping separately from the rack it will
be
installed in.  All the machine changes/additions we needed have to be
done
as a customer MES this time.   Some of the value we used to get within
the
high price of the boxes is definitely going by the wayside.

I have to disconnect and ship back to IBM my nice new 520 that I've
spent over a week getting ready to take over our DEV/TST duties from our
overworked 270s that currently have that job.  Does anyone have any tips
to avoid damage to my system?  IBM is picking up the shipping bill since
they sent me the wrong rack so I really don't have a choice of shipper.
Is there anything I should make sure is tied down other than maybe the
cable guides and such??



Later..
