Unpacking and Installing the System
Your mVault system is complete and ready to use out of the box. All hard drives and components are installed
and tested at the factory.
Before proceeding, please take a moment to inspect the packaging and system for damage. If there is any sign
of damage, please contact your carrier or reseller.
Please review the packing list and compare it against the content of the package. If any components are
missing or damaged, please contact your authorized reseller immediately.
CAUTION: THE mVAULT IS VERY HEAVY AND REQUIRES ASSISTANCE WHEN LIFTING OR INSTALLING
INTO A RACK. THE SYSTEM WEIGHS OVER 250 LB. AS CONFIGURED OUT OF THE BOX, IT IS HIGHLY
RECOMMENDED THAT A FORKLIFT OR LIFT TABLE BE USED WHEN INSTALLING INTO A RACK IN
ORDER TO PREVENT PERSONAL INJURY OR DAMAGE TO THE SYSTEM.
PLEASE FOLLOW THE STEPS BELOW TO REMOVE YOUR SYSTEM FROM THE PACKAGING.
1.
Carefully read all safety notices attached to the top of the mVault before proceeding.
2.
Remove the top of the shipping carton.
3.
Remove the accessory box and rail kit box and carefully check the components against the
packing slip.
4.
Using the lifting straps as shown in the diagram above, lift the system out of the main box and
place aside.
5.
Locate the rail kit box and follow the enclosed instructions in order to install the rail kit into the
rack.
NOTE:
The system requires a 4 post equipment rack. It is highly recommended that the system
be installed in the lower portion of the rack and not above 24U high. You may have to adjust the
front and back mounting rails to meet the mVault rail mounting requirement of
20” (50.8cm)-28.5” (72.4cm) depth. DO NOT attempt to mount the system using any other rail
depths. After
the Rail kit is installed into the rack and the side rails are installed on the mVault
system, the
system should be slid into the rail kit. It is highly recommended that you use a
mechanical lifting
device such as a forklift.
USE EXTREME CAUTION WHEN SLIDING THE mVAULT INTO THE RACK TO AVOID
DAMAGING THE RAIL SLIDE MECHANISM!
6.
Ensure all components are secure and tight in both the front and rear of the system.
7.
Secure the system using the included mounting screws and install the power cords. Use of a
UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) is highly recommended. Power requirements for the mVault
