•
DDICs ship in a separate container and must be installed into the enclosure drawers during product installation. For rackmount
installations, DDICs are installed after the enclosure is mounted in the rack. See
•
For enclosures configured with CNC controller modules, locate the SFP+ transceivers included with the shipment. See
transceiver for FC/iSCSI ports
.
CAUTION:
• A 5U enclosure does not ship with DDICs installed, but the rear panel controller modules or IOMs are installed.
This partially populated enclosure is weights approximately 64 kg (142 lb). You need a minimum of two people to
remove the enclosure from the box.
• When lifting the enclosure, verify that the straps are securely wrapped and buckled and position one person at
each side of the enclosure. Then, grip the straps securely by the loops and lift the enclosure out of the box by
using proper lifting techniques. Place the enclosure in an electrostatically protected area.
