Precautions
2.3.1
Precautions and Instructions
1. Please disconnect two (2) power cords from AC outlets before
servicing or cleaning. Don‘t use liquid or sprayed detergent for
cleaning. Use a slightly moistened paper sheet or clothe for
cleaning.
2. Rack-mounting the enclosure – The S12S is intended to be rack-
mounted, the following concerns should be heeded when
installing the enclosure into a rack cabinet.
a. The rack cabinet and the associated equipment at the
installation site should be able to maintain an ambient
temperature (around the chassis) lower than 40
°
C or
35
°
C if a battery backup module is applied.
b. The openings on the enclosure are for air convection
through the interior of the chassis. Do not cover the
openings.
c. The rack cabinet into which this enclosure is installed
must support over-current protection and must not be
overloaded by the modules installed. Other
requirements, such as ventilation airflow, rack stabilizing
features, electrical earth, and electrical distribution, must
comply with the technical specifications listed in the
documentation or safety label that came with this
product.
d. Equipment racks must be grounded.
e. Consideration should be given to the connection of the
S12S RAID subsystem to the supply circuit and the effect
that overloading of circuits might have on the over-
current equipment nameplate ratings should be used
when addressing this concern.
3. Place the enclosure on a soft, clean surface before working on it.
Placing the enclosure on a rough surface during servicing may
damage the chassis finish.
4. Do not remove any module or component from its anti-static bag
to prevent static electricity from damaging the electric
components.
