Hardware Installation

2.1 Introduction

This chapter gives detailed instructions on how to install the subsystem. When installing the subsystem, it is necessary to mount the chassis into a rack cabinet and to install hard drives and drive trays. Installation into a rack or cabinet should occur before the hard drives or drive trays are installed into the subsystem.

CAUTION!

Please note that the installation instructions described in this manual should be carefully followed to prevent any difficulties and damage to your subsystem.

2.2Safety Precautions

1.Disconnect the power cords if the need should arise for cleaning the chassis. Do not use liquid or sprayed detergent for cleaning. Use a lightly moistened clothe for cleaning.

2.Be sure the correct power range (100-120 or 220-240VAC) is supplied by your rack cabinet or power outlet. It is highly recommended to connect two different power supplies to separate power sources; e.g., one to a power outlet, and the other to a UPS system.

3.Thermal notice: All drive trays (even if they do not contain a hard drive) must be installed into the enclosure. Leaving a drive bay or module slot open will severely affect the airflow efficiency within the enclosure, and will consequently lead to system overheating. Keep a faulty module in place until you have a replacement unit and you are ready to replace it.

4.Rack-mounting: The subsystem is intended to be rack-mounted. Following concerns should be heeded when mounting the enclosure into a rack cabinet:

a.An enclosure without disk drives can weigh over 60 pounds. Two (2) people are required to install or relocate the subsystem. Drives should be removed from the enclosure before moving the subsystem.
