Hard Drive and Drive Tray Installation
♦
Mounting Brackets
- If the rear mounting brackets are used, another 80mm of space
is required for installing the enclosure.
♦
Front Clearance
- One inch of clearance is also required at the front of the enclosure
if your rack cabinet has a rack door or front cover. This clearance is necessary for
adequate airflow circulation.
♦
Rack/Cabinet Compatibility
- The enclosure width fits in standard 19” rack or
cabinet.
♦
Mount the enclosure first and then install disk drives. Enclosure with its drives
installed will be too heavy to handle.

WARNING:
1.
Handle hard drives with extreme care. Hard drives are very delicate.
Dropping a drive onto a hard surface (even over a short distance), hitting or
contact with the circuits on the drives by your tools, may all cause damage to
drives
2.
Observe all ESD prevention methods when installing drives.
2.10.1 Hard Drive Installation Pre-requisites
NOTE:
The hard drive and drive trays should only be installed into the subsystem once the
subsystem has been mounted into a cabinet. If the hard drives are installed first then
the subsystem will be too heavy and mounting it in the cabinet will be far more
difficult.
Hard drives for the ES subsystem must be purchased separately. When purchasing the
hard drives, the following factors must be considered:
