Section 1 Intro and Overview
Safety Precautions
Precautions and Instructions
•
The Aurora LS weights over 80 pounds. It is recommended that 2 people are required to
properly move and mount it due to its size and weight.
•
Be sure that the rack cabinet into which the subsystem chassis will be installed provides:
sufficient strength and stability and
ventilation channels and airflow circulation around the subsystem.
•
INSTALL AURORA IN RACK MOUNTING BEFORE INSTALLING DISK DRIVES
•
The Aurora LS RAID subsystem will come with up to twelve (12) drive bays. NOTE: a 13
th
drive slot is available but is not used in the present configuration. This drive slot, the
furthest right slot for all drives, must have a empty drive canister in its place. Leaving any
of these drive bays empty will greatly affect the efficiency of the airflow within the
enclosure, and will consequently lead to the system overheating, which can cause
irreparable damage.
•
Prior to powering on the subsystem, ensure that the correct power range is being used.
•
If a disk or power supply module fails, leave it in place until you have a replacement unit
and you are ready to replace it.
•
Airflow Consideration: The subsystem requires an airflow clearance, especially at the front
and rear.
•
Handle subsystem modules using the retention screws, extraction levers, and the metal
frames/faceplates. Avoid touching PCB boards and connector pins.
•
To comply with safety, emission, or thermal requirements, none of the covers or
replaceable modules should be removed. Make sure that during operation, all enclosure
modules and covers are securely in place.
•
Provide a soft, clean surface to place your subsystem on before working on it. Servicing
on a rough surface may damage the exterior of the chassis.
•
If it is necessary to transport the subsystem, repackage all disk drives separately. If using
the original package material, other replaceable modules can stay within the enclosure.
•
ESD Precautions
Observe all conventional anti-ESD methods while handling system modules. The use of a
grounded wrist strap and an anti-static work pad is recommended. Avoid dust and debris or
other static-accumulative materials in your work area.
