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 page 27 for detailed instructions.
CAUTION
: Before opening any of the drive drawers on the Nexsan E-Series Storage System, 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 Nexsan Storage System to come to room tem-
perature. Failure to do so may result in internal cable damage.
To load the disk drives into the Nexsan Storage Expansion drive drawers:
1. Turn the drawer lock counter-clockwise to unlock the left drive drawer.

to personnel.
