NOTICE
Your storage system is designed to be powered on continuously. Most components
are hot swappable; that is, you can replace or install these components while the
storage system is running. However, the system requires that:
l
Front bezels should always be attached to ensure EMI compliance. Make sure you
reattach the bezel after replacing a component.
l
Each slot should contain a component or filler panel to ensure proper air flow
throughout the system.
Unpacking a part
Procedure
1. Wear ESD gloves or attach an ESD wristband to your wrist and the enclosure in

2. Unpack the part and place it on a static-free surface.
3. If the part is a replacement for a faulted part, save the packing material to
