Safety Precautions
Precautions and Instructions
Prior to powering on the subsystem, ensure that the correct power
range is being used.
If it is necessary to transport the subsystem, repackage all disk drives
separately. Shipping the subsystem with installed hard drives will
damage the backplane connectors.
The EonStor subsystem comes with sixteen (16) drive bays. Leaving
any of these drive bays empty will seriously affect the efficiency of
the airflow within the enclosure, and will consequently lead to the
system overheating, which can cause irreparable damage.
If a module fails, leave it in place until you have a replacement unit
and you are ready to replace it.
Airflow Consideration: The subsystem requires an airflow clearance,
especially at the front and rear.
Handle subsystem modules using the retention screws, ejection
levers, and the metal frames/faceplates. Avoid touching PCB boards
and connector pins.
To comply with safety, emission, or thermal requirements, none of
the covers or replaceable modules should be removed. Make sure that
during operation, all enclosure modules and covers are securely in
place.
Be sure that the rack cabinet into which the subsystem chassis will be
installed provides sufficient ventilation channels and airflow
circulation around the subsystem.
Provide a soft, clean surface to place your subsystem on before
working on it. Servicing on a rough surface may damage the exterior
of the chassis.
Dual redundant controller models come with two controller modules
that must be installed into the subsystem. Single controller modules
