Safety Precautions
Read the following instructions carefully before installing, operating, or transporting
the ASR-5300I RAID system and JBODs.
Installation and Operation
 Install the rack cabinet and associated equipment at a site where the ambient
temperature (special room cooling equipment may be required) remains below
– 35
°
C ~ if the system features a BBU (all dual-controller systems are
equipped with a BBU by default)
– 40
°
C ~ if the system does not have a BBU
 Install the power source socket outlet near the enclosure for ease of access and
ground the rack cabinet.
 Secure airflow clearance inside and around the rack cabinet.
– Secure an 18 to 20 cm clearance on the rear side.
– Do not cover the enclosure openings.
– Route the cables inside the rack cabinet.
– Do not leave drive bays empty to avoid reducing airflow efficiency.

Secure each enclosure module using its retaining screws.
 Place power cords and other cables away from foot traffic. Do not place items
on top of power cords or resting against data cables.
 Install all modules in the enclosure before powering on systems.
 Ensure that the correct power range is being used before powering on.

Do not remove covers or replaceable modules if not faulty.
 Should the system remain idle for a long period of time, disconnect the system
from the power mains to avoid transient overvoltage.
 For power source redundancy, ensure that the two PSUs are plugged into two
different power sources (i.e., different circuit breakers).
Service and Maintenance
 Keep the faulty module in place until a replacement unit is sourced; an empty
module greatly affects the airflow efficiency within the enclosure.
 During service operation, place the enclosure on a soft and clean surface to pre-
vent exterior damage. Do not place tools or other items on the enclosure.
 When transporting the enclosure, repackage all disk drives separately in the
original packing foam blocks. Replaceable modules can remain in the enclosure
if using the original packaging; if not, repackage them separately.
 Disconnect the power cords before servicing or cleaning the enclosure.
 Use a slightly moistened paper sheet or cloth for cleaning. Avoid using liquid or
spray detergent.
 When replacing components, insert them as gently as possible while assuring
full engagement. Vibration and shock can easily damage hard drives.
 Only qualified service personnel should open the enclosure.
 Contact service personnel if any of the following situations occur:
– The power cord or plug is damaged.
– The enclosure has been exposed to moisture.
– The system has been malfunctioning.
– The enclosure was dropped against a hard surface.
– The enclosure shows obvious signs of breakage.
