Cautions
• Do not populate any unit with hard drives until it has been securely
installed in the rack.
• At least two persons are required to safely lift, place, and attach
the unit into a rack system.
• Do not lift or move the unit by the handles, power supplies or the
controller units. Hold the system itself.
• Do not install the unit into a rack without rails to support the
system.
• Only a qualified technician who is familiar with the installation
procedure should mount and install the unit.
• Mount the rails to the rack using the appropriate screws and nuts,
fully tightened, at each end of the rail.
• Do not load the rails unless they are installed with screws as
instructed.
• The rails available for the PROMISE VTrak unit are designed to
safely support that PROMISE VTrak unit when properly installed.
Additional loading on the rails is at the customer’s risk.
• PROMISE Technology, Inc. cannot guarantee that the mounting rails
will support your PROMISE VTrak unit unless you install them as
instructed.
