Safety Precautions
Precautions and instructions
♦
Prior to powering on the subsystem, ensure that the correct power range is being
used.
♦
The EonStor U16U subsystem comes with 16 drive bays (slots). Leaving any of
these slots empty will greatly 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 at the rear.
♦
To handle subsystem modules, use the retention screws, eject levers, and the metal
frames/face plates. Avoid touching PCB boards or 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 is to 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.
♦
If it is necessary to transport the subsystem, repackage all drives and replaceable
modules separately.
ESD Precautions
Observe all conventional anti-ESD methods while handling system modules. The use of
grounded wrist-strap and an anti-static work pad are recommended.
Avoid dust or debris
in your work area.
