Important notice
The use of Infortrend certified components is strongly recommended to ensure compatibility, quality, and
normal operation with your Infortrend products. Contact your distributor for a list of Infortrend certified
components (e.g. SFP, SFP+, HBA card, iSCSI cable, FC cable, memory module, etc.).
ESD precautions
•
Handle the modules by their retention screws, ejector levers, or the module’s metal frame/faceplate
only. Avoid touching the PCB boards or connector pins.
•
Use a grounded wrist strap and an anti-static work pad to discharge static electricity when installing
or operating the enclosure.
•
Avoid dust, debris, carpets, plastic, vinyl, and Styrofoam in your work area.
•
Do not remove any module or component from its anti-static bag before installation takes place.
•
Drives must not be stacked on top of each other without their protective drive trays. Even when
drives are fixed in the drive trays, contacting the exposed PCB or rear-side interface may damage
the drives.
