Unpacking and Initial Setup
Securely attach one end of the cable to the barrel of the 2-hole ground lug.
Using the two M5x8 metal screws, attach the 2-hole ground lug and 6 AWG
ground wire to the disk shelf. Do not overtighten the screws.
Connect the opposite end of the 6-AWG grounding wire to the appropriate
grounding point at your site, ensuring an adequate chassis ground.
WARNING: Prior to the interconencting of a shelf to any other equipment
or cabling, the shelf must be properly grounded. Should the connection to
ground require removal for any purpose, ensure that all other interconnect-
ing cables are removed first and such cables are not replaced until after the
ground is re-connected.

Cooling Modules (ACM’s). The installation of a RAIDStation7 rackmount Stor-
age Array is shown below. For the tower version of the RAIDStation7 Storage
Array, Figure 2-3 would be oriented vertically, with bay 0 on top and bay 8 on the
bottom.
