Safety guidelines
Hitachi AMS 2000 Family Storage System Service Guide
Personal safety
Observe the following guidelines to ensure safety. Failure to follow these
guidelines could result in bodily injury or damage to the equipment.
Install the base unit at the bottom of the rack. If the array is mounted at
the top of the rack, the rack may become unstable and fall.
CAUTION! A fully populated AMS 2300 base unit weighs
approximately 125 pounds (57 kg). A fully populated AMS 2500
weighs approximately 101 lbs (46 kg). Three or more people are
required to lift these units. Before lifting one of these units, always
turn off the power to the unit and unplug all data and power cables.
An expansion unit weighs 88 lbs (40Kg). Use at least two people to
unpack and install an expansion unit.
CAUTION! Be sure to use at least three people to install the unit in a
rack. Work carefully to prevent the unit from slipping or falling.
Be sure to install the base unit at the bottom of the rack and any
expansion units above it to prevent the rack from falling. Lift the
unit up to the height suitable for mounting. Adjust the position of
the array so it is seated in the horizontal center of the rack. Slide the
array onto the rails in the rack frame. When sliding the array onto
the rails, move it gently all the way onto the rails.
