Have someone assist you during physical installation.
To properly ventilate the system, you must provide at least 7.6 cm of clearance at the front
and back of the system.
To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to equipment, always ensure that the rack is
adequately stabilized prior to extending a component outside the rack. A rack may become
unstable if more than one component is extended. Extend only one at a time.
Do not stand or step on any components in the rack.
If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the
rack environment may be greater than room ambient. Therefore, consideration should be
given to installing the equipment in an environment compatible with the maximum ambient
temperature (Tma) specified by the manufacturer.
Do not overload the AC power supply branch circuit that provides power to the rack.
Observe extension cable and power strip ratings. Ensure that the total ampere rating of all
equipment plugged into the extension cable or power strip does not exceed 80 percent of
the ampere ratings limit for the extension cable or power strip.
System Warnings
Avoid dust, humidity, and extreme temperatures; place the system on a stable surface.
To reduce the risk of personal injury from hot surfaces, allow the hot-plug disk modules and
other system modules to cool before touching them.
To reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to the equipment, do not disable the power
cord grounding plug. The grounding plug is an important safety feature.
Ensure the power cord is inserted into a grounded electrical outlet that is easily accessible
at all times. Unplug the power cord from the power supply module to shut off power to the
equipment
Protect the storage system from power fluctuations and temporary power interruptions with
a regulating uninterruptible power supply (UPS). This device protects the hardware from
damage caused by power surges and voltage spikes and keeps the system operational
during a power failure.
The storage system must always be operated with all hot plug modules installed or slot
covers in place to ensure proper cooling.
Route power cords so that they will not be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or
against them. Pay particular attention to the plug, electrical outlet, and the point where the
cords exit from the product.
