the drives.

Install in a Restricted Access Location

The nTier700 chassis serves as a protective enclosure when the blades are in their normal operating position. Pulling the blades out to service the drives opens the protective enclosure. When installing the nTier700, make sure that it is only accessible to users who are aware of possible safety risks when the blades are extended.

Do not operate the nTier700 with the blades pulled out of the enclosure except when servicing the drives. If you pull a blade out from the enclosure:

ƒdo not allow conductive objects to contact the circuit board and connector that are exposed when a drive is removed (to prevent potential risk of heat and fire associated with high energy short circuits).

ƒmake sure you slide the blade completely into the enclosure as soon as you are finished.
