Unpacking and Initial Setup
When you receive your system, visually inspect the exterior
of the packaging for any signs of damage. If any damage is
found the carrier and Adaptec should be informed immedi-
ately, and they will advise you of the appropriate action. The
cartons are sealed using packaging tape which should be cut
open in the normal manner. Exercise caution when lifting
out the components. At this point the contents should be
verified against the packing list and Adaptec should again
be notified if any discrepancies exist. Anti-static precautions
must be observed before removing any of the components.
Installing the System in an Equipment Rack
Before installing the 2Gb SANbloc Series in an equipment
rack, it is essential that the following guidelines are
complied with, to ensure the safe and efficient operation of
the system. The 2Gb SANbloc Series can be installed in
open or closed equipment racks, with a front width of 19”,
by observing the environmental, electrical, and mechanical
precautions described below.

Ambient

Temperature Installation of the rack system in a standard 19” cabinet may
lead to a differential between the room ambient temperature
and the internal ambient temperature of the rack
environment. The operating temperature of the 2Gb
SANbloc Series is between 5oC to 40oC. However, it is not
recommended that the system be continuously run at these
extreme temperatures. Consideration should therefore be
given to ensure that the room ambient temperature is
compatible with these specifications.
