Galaxy Raid Installation and Hardware Reference Manual
Safety Precautions
Precautions and Instructions
•Prior to powering on the subsystem, ensure that the correct power range is being used.
•The Galaxy subsystem comes with twenty four (24) drive bays. Leaving any of these drive bays empty will greatly affect the efficiency of the airflow within the enclosure, and will consequently lead to the system overheating, which can cause irreparable damage.
•If a module fails, leave it in place until you have a replacement unit and you are ready to replace it.
•Airflow Consideration: The subsystem requires an airflow clearance, especially at the front and rear.
•Handle subsystem modules using the retention screws, eject levers, and the metal frames/face plates. Avoid touching PCB boards and connector pins.
•To comply with safety, emission, or thermal requirements, none of the covers or replaceable modules should be removed. Make sure that during operation, all enclosure modules and covers are securely in place.
•Be sure that the rack cabinet into which the subsystem chassis will be installed provides sufficient ventilation channels and airflow circulation around the subsystem.
•Provide a soft, clean surface to place your subsystem on before working on it. Servicing on a rough surface may damage the exterior of the chassis.
•If it is necessary to transport the subsystem, repackage all disk drives separately.
•Dual redundant controller models come with two controller modules that must be installed into the subsystem. Single controller modules come with a single controller module and a metal sheet is placed over the lower controller bay at the rear of the subsystem. Since single controller modules cannot be upgraded, this metal sheet should NEVER be removed.
