6.Rack installation: The enclosure chassis can be installed into standard, 19-inch wide rack cabinet using self-purchased mounting rails the Galaxy slide rails.

2.3.Static-free Installation

Static electricity can damage the system’s electronic components. Most of the subsystems that are returned for repair result from improper installation and ESD damage. To prevent ESD damage, follow these precautions before handling any of the components:

ƒWhen installing the subsystem, you should wear an anti-static wristband or touch a grounded metal surface to discharge any static electricity from your body.

ƒAvoid carpets, plastic, vinyl, and Styrofoam in the work area.

ƒHandle all components by holding their edges or metal frame. Avoid touching circuit boards or connector pins.

2.4.General Installation Procedure

Detailed, illustrated instructions for each step are given in the following sections.

CAUTION!

To ensure that the system is correctly installed, please follow the steps outlined below. If these steps are followed, the installation will be fast and efficient. If these steps are not followed, the hardware may accidentally be installed incorrectly.

Step 1. Unpack the subsystem. Make sure that all the required subsystem components have indeed arrived.

Step 2. Change the DIMM module. Although a DIMM module comes with the RAID controller, if you wish to use a different DIMM module with a larger memory capacity, then the DIMM module exchange should be made first. (See Section 2.6.2)

Step 3. Rack/Cabinet installation. The subsystem should be installed into a rack cabinet prior to installing the hard drives. Installation into a rack cabinet requires separately purchased mounting rails. There are also Galaxy rail kits for 32 or 36-inch deep racks. Installing the subsystem into a rack or cabinet requires at least two or three people.
