1 Basic Storage Array Information
Protecting Hardware
Protect a PS Series array from electrostatic discharge. When handling array hardware, make sure you use an
electrostatic wrist strap or a similar form of protection. To use a wrist strap:
1. Connect the steel snap on the coil cord to the stud on the elastic band. See Figure 1 .
Figure 1: Using an Electrostatic Wrist Strap
2. Fit the band closely around your wrist.
3. Connect the band to ground. You can either plug the banana connector into a matching grounded receptacle,
or attach it to the matching alligator clip and connect the clip to a grounded device. Examples of an appro-
priate ground would be an ESD mat or the metal frame of a grounded piece of equipment.
Chassis Types
The PS4110 array is available in two different chassis types:
• A 2U chassis with 24 2.5-inch drives, installed vertically
• A 2U chassis with 12 3.5-inch drives, installed horizontally
Array Features
The array has LEDs and other features on both the front and the back.
The Bezel
The bezel is an optional trim panel that attaches to the front of the array to ensure the physical security of the
array. You must remove the bezel to access and maintain the drives.
The bezel has a label that identifies the array model number.
