Safety Precautions
Read these instructions carefully before you install, operate, or transport the EonStor
DS RAID system and JBODs.
Installation and Operation
Install the rack cabinet and the associated equipment at a site where
the ambient temperature (special room cooling equipment may be
required) stays lower than:
a. 35
C
~ if your system have a BBU (all dual controller systems
come with BBU by default)
b. 40
C
~ if your system does not have a BBU
Install the power source socket outlet near the enclosure where it is
easily accessible and ground the rack cabinet.
Secure airflow clearance inside and around the rack cabinet.
- Secure an 18 to 20cm clearance on the rear side.
- Do not cover the enclosure openings.
- Route the cables inside the rack cabinet.
- Do not leave drive bays empty as it will affect 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 and make sure they do not rest against
data cables.
Install all modules to 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 they are not faulty.
If the system is not going to be used for a long period of time,
disconnect it from the power mains to avoid transient over-voltage.
For power source redundancy, please make sure that the two PSUs are
plugged into two different power sources (ie. different circuit breakers).
