Safety Precautions
Precautions and Instructions
•
Provide a soft, clean surface to place your subsystem on before
working on it. Servicing on a rough surface may damage the
exterior of the chassis.
•
The EonStor subsystem comes with twelve (12) drive bays.
Leaving any of these drive bays empty will greatly affect the
efficiency of the airflow within the enclosure, and will
consequently lead to the system overheating, which can cause
irreparable damage.
•
Prior to powering on the subsystem, ensure that the correct
power range is being used.
•
All modules must be properly installed before powering on the
subsystem.
•
If a module fails, leave it in place until you have a replacement
unit and you are ready to replace it.
•
Handle subsystem modules using their retention screws, ejection
levers, and the metal frames/faceplates. Avoid touching PCB
boards and connector pins.
•
Airflow Consideration: the subsystem requires an airflow
clearance, especially at the front and the rear. An 18 to 20cm
clearance is required on the rear side of the enclosure.
•
Make sure data and console cables within a rackmount cabinet
are carefully routed, without causing interference with the airflow
circulation.
•
Ventilation airflow around the chassis is necessary whether
rackmounted or placed on a table top.
•
Be sure that the rack cabinet into which the subsystem chassis
will be installed provides sufficient ventilation channels and
airflow circulation around the chassis.
•
To comply with safety, emission, or thermal requirements, none
of the covers or replaceable modules should be removed. Make
sure that all enclosure modules and covers are securely in place
during operation.
•
If it is necessary to transport the subsystem, repackage all drives
in its drive trays separately using the original foam blocks in the
shipping box.
