CAUTION
: Computer components and disk drives are sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD).
Always ground any electrostatic charge from your person before touching components with your
hands or with any tools. Always use an anti-static wrist strap (one ships with each Nexsan Storage
System) while installing or performing maintenance on any Nexsan Storage System. See
on page 24 for detailed instructions.
CAUTION
: The enclosure is heavy and requires two people to lift it and slide it onto the mounting
rails. Do NOT attempt to mount it onto the mounting rails by yourself.
►
To mount the Nexsan Storage System on the mounting rails:
1. Ground any electrostatic charge from your person by touching a metal part of the rack. Both people
lifting the enclosure must do this.
2. Attach one end of the anti-static wrist strap to a bare metal part of the rack. Secure the other end
around your wrist. Both people lifting the enclosure must do this. See
3. With the help of a second person, carefully lift the enclosure so that the grooves in the side of the
chassis line up with the mounting rails on the rack.
CAUTION
: Only support the enclosure by placing hands under the metal chassis. Do NOT
attempt to lift the enclosure by any plastic parts or module handles.
4. Carefully slide the enclosure onto the mounting rails so that the mounting ears sit against the mounting
spacers (if installed) or rack (see
