1. INTRODUCTION
1.1. Safe Handling
A LaCie 12big Rack Serial 2 enclosure can weigh up to 26kg (57lb). Do not try to lift it by yourself.
Do not lift the enclosure by the handles on the PCMs. They are not designed to take the weight.
1.2. Safety
All plug-in modules and blank plates are part of the fire enclosure and must only be removed when a replacement can
be immediately added. The system must not be run without all modules or blanks in place.
Permanently unplug the unit before you move it or if you think it has become damaged in any way.
IMPORTANT:
The enclosure MUST be grounded before applying power.
The enclosure must only be operated from a power supply input voltage range of 100-240 VAC.
The plug on the power supply cord is used as the main disconnect device. Ensure that the socket outlets are located near
the equipment and are easily accessible.
When powered by multiple AC sources, disconnect all supply power for complete isolation.
In order to comply with applicable safety, emission and thermal requirements no covers should be removed and all bays
must be populated with plug-in modules.
The power connection should always be disconnected prior to removal of a PCM from the enclosure.
A safe electrical earth connection must be provided to the power supply cords. Check the grounding of the enclosure
before applying power.
Provide a suitable power source with electrical overload protection to meet the requirements laid down in the technical
specification.
When bifurcated power cords (‘Y’ leads) are used, they must only be connected to a supply range of 200-240 V.
A faulty PCM must be replaced with a fully operational module within 24 hrs.
Do not remove a faulty PCM unless you have a replacement model of the correct type ready for insertion.

If this equipment is used in a manner not specified by LaCie, the protection provided by the equipment may be
impaired.
