IMPORTANT
Observe all applicable safety precautions, e.g. weight restrictions, handling batteries and lasers etc.,
detailed in the preceding paragraphs when dismantling and disposing of this equipment.
Data Security
• Power down your host computer and all attached peripheral devices before beginning
installation.
• Each enclosure contains up to 12 removable disk drive modules. Disk units are fragile. Handle
them with care, and keep them away from strong magnetic fields.
• All the supplied plug-in modules, dummy carriers and blank modules must be in place for the
air to flow correctly around the enclosure and also to complete the internal circuitry.
• If the subsystem is used with plug-in modules, dummy carriers or blank modules missing for
more than a few minutes, the enclosure can overheat, causing power failure and data loss.
Such use may also invalidate the warranty.
• If you remove any drive module, you may lose data.
• If you remove a drive module, replace it immediately. If it is faulty, replace it with a drive
module of the same type and capacity
• Ensure that all disk drives are removed from the enclosure before attempting to manhandle or
move the rack installation.
• Do not abandon your backup routines. No system is completely infallible.
Special Tools and Equipment
There are no special tools required but in order to complete the assembly of some configurations
you may need the following:
• Security keys (one of these should be included with your SR1202 enclosure for use with the
drive locks).
