Installing the drives in your GigaStor

CAUTION HANDLING THE DRIVES

Be especially careful when handling and installing the hard drives. Proper handling is paramount to the longevity of the unit. The internal mechanism of the hard drive can be seriously damaged if the hard drive is subjected to forces outside its environmental specifications.

When transporting the hard drive, always use the original packaging in which the hard drive was delivered to you, and avoid exposing the hard drive to extreme changes in temperature to minimize the risk of condensation.

Never drop the unit. Handle it with care.

Never place the hard drive in the vicinity of equipment giving off strong magnetic fields, such as CRT monitors, televisions, or loudspeakers.

Always use an anti-static mat and wrist strap when handling the hard drive. Hold the hard drive by the base and never touch the components on the circuit board assembly.

If the temperature difference between the storage location and installation location exceeds 50°F/10°C, for temperature acclimation purposes, leave the hard drive in the new location for at least two hours before turning it on.

Each drive for the GigaStor is packed in shock-resistant boxes. The tray that holds each drive has two optical pipes that run along the right side. These pipes are connected to the indicator lights on the front of the tray and are prone to cracking or breaking if you squeeze the sides of the tray too tightly.

Stickers on each drive identify which slot (and expansion unit) it should be installed in. The drive labeled A1 must be installed in the lower left slot. The disk expansion units for the GigaStor Expandable are labeled A, B, or C on the back of the expansion unit’s case.

1Open the locking latch by pushing the release tab until the tray panel pops out.

2Gently, but firmly, push the A1 drive into the appropriate slot until you feel the pins engage and the latch closes slightly.

This feature aids network managers in assessing key performance indicators (KPIs) and helps ensure that service level agreements (SLAs) are met.

The device is equipped with extensive reporting capabilities, allowing users to generate historical reports for analysis and compliance purposes. This function is essential for businesses that must comply with regulatory standards, as it enables them to maintain records of network performance and security incidents.

Furthermore, Network Instruments 114ff supports a variety of network protocols, ensuring compatibility with existing infrastructure. Its scalable architecture means organizations can adapt the device to cater to growing network demands without the need for significant overhauls. The integration capability with other Network Monitoring Systems (NMS) positions it as a flexible solution suited for diverse environments.

In summary, Network Instruments 114ff stands out as an essential tool for IT professionals looking to optimize network performance. With features such as real-time monitoring, deep packet inspection, customizable dashboards, and robust reporting capabilities, it delivers a comprehensive solution to manage and enhance network infrastructures effectively.
