The system is heavy even without disks installed. At least two people are required to install the system.

The rack cabinet into which this system will be installed must support overcurrent protection and must not be overloaded by the modules installed. Other requirements, such as ventilation airflow, rack stabilizing features, electrical earth, and electrical distribution, must comply with the technical specifications listed in Section 8 Technical Data, page 31 and in the documentation that came with this product.

All systems must be mounted with and supported by the rails provided and secured in position by the four screws in the front side flanges. In no instance is a system to be mounted by the front side flanges only as this will result in the deforming of the systems chassis causing unacceptably high pressures and/or torques to be applied to internal components resulting in various failure modes.

System Integrators should ensure that any integrated storage solution that includes this product has been tested and proved to meet government regulations and codes for subjects including safety, fire, and electrical.

Make sure you have a soft, clean surface to place your system before working on it. Placing the system on a rough surface during servicing may damage the chassis finish.

Do not remove any module or component item from its anti-static bag until you are ready to install it. Pick up and hold modules by their edges or canister. Avoid touching PCBs and connector pins.

Observe all standard ESD prevention methods, e.g., wear an anti-static wristband to prevent static electricity from damaging the electric components.

When replacing components insert them as gently as possible while assuring full engagement. Vibration or shock can damage hard drives in the affected unit or other units in the rack. Hard drives are very sensitive to shock and vibration, especially while in operation and should always be handled very carefully.

After all equipment is installed in a rack dress the power and data cables such that power cables are not resting against data (SCSI, IP, RS-232) cables.
