Safety notices
This guide covers the Nexsan E60™/E60V™/E60VT™/E60P™ and Nexsan
E48™/E48V™/E48VT™/E48P™ digital storage units only. Refer to the relevant product manuals for
information on other Nexsan storage or expansion units and other Nexsan products mentioned in this guide.
Always observe the following precautions to reduce the risk of injury and equipment damage:
WARNING:
There is a risk of ELECTRIC SHOCK if Nexsan E-Series™ components are removed
or tampered with when unit power is on. Only a trained operator may remove certain customer-
replaceable units (CRUs). The Nexsan E-Series™ storage units include the following CRUs:
Power Supply modules
RAID Controller and Expansion modules
Disk drives
Fan modules
Computer components and disk drives are sensitive to static discharge. Take precautions to discharge
any electrostatic charge from your person before and while handling components with your hands or any
tools. Use an anti-static wrist-strap.
Ensure correct lifting methods are used when removing the unit from its packaging and positioning it into its
required location. When lifting the system, two people at either end should lift slowly with their feet spread
out to distribute the weight. Always keep your back straight and lift with your legs.
When removing the unit from the packaging, DO NOT lift the unit by any plastic parts or module handles on
the chassis. Doing so may cause damage to the chassis or to internal components, or both. Lift the unit
ONLY by the bottom edges of the chassis, using safe lifting practices.
The unit should only be installed in a clean, dry environment. The operating temperature is 5º to 35º C (41º
to 95º F), with operating relative humidity at 20 to 80%, non-condensing.
Do not install the unit in an enclosed cabinet or other small area without ventilation.
When installing the unit as a rack-mounted component, ensure that all Nexsan-supplied mounting fixtures
are secure. All bolts and screws should be fully tightened. Failure to comply with this may result in the unit
not being fully supported in the rack and could lead to the product falling from the rack, causing personal
injury or damage to other rack components.
Ensure that the rack is sufficiently stable by having wall anchors and/or stabilizing legs, and that the floor
supporting the rack has sufficient strength for the overall weight loading.
The cordset specification for the Nexsan E60™/E60V™/E60VT™/E60P™ and Nexsan
E48™/E48V™/E48VT™/E48P™ in North America is USA IEC C13 to IEC C14, rated 250V/10A. When
applying power to the unit, use ONLY the IEC power cords originally supplied with it. Do NOT use other
power cords, even if they appear identical to the supplied cords.
Only a fully-trained Service Engineer is authorized to disassemble any other part of the unit, and then only
when the unit is powered off.
All Nexsan E-Series™ storage units have multiple power connections; as a result, you must remove all
power leads to completely remove power from the unit.
