The instructions here apply to 3U 16-bay Vess A7600, as well as the 4U 24-bay Vess A7800. The sliding rail
rack mounting hardware is the same for both form factors.
Cautions
• Do not populate any unit with hard drives until it has been securely
installed in the rack.
• At least two persons are required to safely lift, place, and attach the
Vess A7000 unit into a rack system.
• Do not lift or move the Vess A7000 unit by the handles, power
supplies or the controller units. Hold the system itself.
• Do not install the Vess A7000 unit into a rack without rails to support
the system.
• Only a qualified technician who is familiar with the installation
procedure should mount and install the Vess A7000 unit.
• Mount the rails to the rack using the appropriate screws and flange
nuts, fully tightened, at each end of the rail.
• Do not load the rails unless they are installed with screws as
instructed.
• The rails available for the Promise Vess A7000 unit are designed to
safely support that Promise Vess A7000 unit when properly installed.
Additional loading on the rails is at the customer’s risk.
• Promise Technology, Inc. cannot guarantee that the mounting rails
will support your Promise Vess A7000 unit unless you install them as
instructed.
Note
To lighten the Vess A7000 enclosure, you can remove the power supplies.
Replace the power supplies after the Vess A7000 unit is mounted in your rack.
