Prepare the Nexsan Storage System
Before installation, prepare the Nexsan Storage System.
CAUTION
: Before opening any of the drive drawers on the Nexsan E60X/Nexsan E48X, be sure
that the internal temperature is 10°C (50°F) or above. If the Nexsan Storage System has been
shipped or stored in very low temperatures, allow the system to come to room temperature. Failure
to do so may result in internal cable damage.
CAUTION
: Computer components and disk drives are sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD).
Always ground any electrostatic charge from your person before touching components with your
hands or with any tools. Always use an anti-static wrist strap (one ships with each Nexsan Storage
System) while installing or performing maintenance on any Nexsan Storage System. See
on the previous page for detailed instructions.

To prepare the Nexsan Storage System for installation:
1. Ground yourself with the included anti-static wrist strap (see
2. Remove the two PSUs from the Nexsan Storage System. Press the spring lock tab inward, then
carefully remove the PSU from the Nexsan Storage System. Support the weight of the PSU with your
free hand while removing it.
Figure 2-8: Removing the PSU
Set the PSUs aside.
Note
If you are installing more than one Nexsan E60X/Nexsan E48X Storage System, keep each Nexsan
Storage System’s disk drives with the storage system they shipped with so as to avoid installing them into
the wrong storage system (disks are pre-configured for the specific storage system at the factory).
