Safety Tips

!Caution: A fully loaded enclosure is heavy. Reduce the weight of the enclosure by removing the drive carriers before installing the enclosure in the rack or tower. (You can also remove the two APCs to further reduce the weight, if required. See the Adaptec Storage Enclosure Installation and User’s Guide on the CD for instructions.)
