EonStor S12S-R/G1032 Installation and Hardware Reference Manual
5. Because hard drives are prone to damage due to shock and
vibration during operation, all hard drives should be installed in a
rack cabinet prior to powering up.
6. Drives must not be stacked on top of each other without their
protective drive trays. Even when fixed in the drive trays, contact
with the exposed PCB or rear interfaces may result in ESD
damage which will yield various immediate or latent failures.
7. Stacking drives one upon another can result in erasing the IC
programmable contents.
8. When replacing components, insert them as gently as possible
while assuring full engagement. Vibration and shock can easily
damage hard drives during operation. Handle hard drives with
extreme care.
9. Place the power cords and all cables away from foot traffic. Do
not place anything over the power cords. After all equipment is
installed in a rack, carefully route the power cords and data
cables so that power cords are not resting against data cables.
10. If the enclosure is not used for a long time, disconnect it from
mains to avoid transient over-voltage.
11. Never open the enclosure chassis. For safety reasons, only
qualified service personnel should open the equipment.
12. If any of the following situations occurs, contact service
personnel:
a. The power cord or plug is damaged.
b. The equipment has been exposed to moisture.
c. The enclosure has not worked well or you cannot get it
work according to this manual.
d. The enclosure has been dropped against a hard surface.
e. The enclosure shows obvious signs of breakage.
13. Thermal notice: All drive trays (even if they do not contain a hard
drive) must be installed into the enclosure. Leaving a drive bay or
module slot open will seriously affect the airflow efficiency, and
consequently lead to overheating. Keep a faulty module in place
until you have a replacement unit and are ready to replace it.
14. An enclosure without disk drives can weigh more than 20
kilograms. (44 lbs.) Two people will be required to install or
relocate the subsystem. Drives should be removed from the
enclosure if the need arises for relocating it.
