3.1 Placing the 7131 Storage Tower
Place the 7131 Storage Tower in a location that is convenient for your system. The only restrictions are the length of the power cords and
the SCSI signal cable connecting the 7131 Storage Tower to the system.
1. Attention: Take reasonable care to prevent damage to the 7131 Storage Tower. Avoid dropping or bumping it.
2. CAUTION:
The weight of this part or unit is between 18 and 32 kilograms (39.7 and 70.5 pounds). It takes two persons to safely lift this part or
unit. (RSFTC204)
3. Allow adequate clearance:
a. Ensure that the 7131 Storage Tower has correct airflow for cooling. Each 7131 Storage Tower should be separated from the
system and other equipment (including additional 7131 Storage Towers) by a minimum of 2.5 centimeters (1 inch).
b. Allow 2.5 centimeters (1 inch) of clearance on the hinge side for opening the cover.
c. Because the top cover is lifted vertically for service access, we recommend that you do not place the 7131 Storage Tower under a
desk.
d. Allow 15 centimeters (6 inches) of clearance at the rear for the SCSI cable and the line cord.
