Before you connect the array to the network, position the array in the rack, cabinet, or other location where it will be used.

Caution – When positioning the array, do not block the air vents at the front or back of the unit. Follow all safety precautions specified in the SANnet II Family Safety, Regulatory, and Compliance Manual.

Caution – When you power off an array, wait five seconds before you power it back on. If you power the array off and on too quickly, unexpected results can occur. See “Powering Off the Array” on page 4-33.

To change the locks so the keys cannot be removed, perform the following steps.

1.Remove the bezel by gently pivoting the swing arms out of their ear sockets.

See “Removing the Front Bezel and Ear Caps” on page 7-9for step-by-step instructions on how to remove the bezel.

2.Make sure the key is in the locked position, with the pawl extending horizontally past the edge of the bezel.

3.Hold the key in place and use a 3/8-inch (12-mm) nut driver to remove the locking nut that holds the pawl in place, as shown in the first panel of Figure 4-2.

Caution – Be sure to hold the key in place. Otherwise there is a risk of breaking the small tab on the lock that serves as a stop.
