ƒ
An appropriate rack is assembled and placed near the AC power outlets and
network connections.
The nTier300 VTL chassis occupies 3U (5.25 inches) of rack space. It is designed to
fit in a standard 19-inch rack. An additional 3 inches to the depth may be required
to allow for cable clearance. Using a 4-post rack that is at least 47 inches (120 cm)
deep is recommended.
Note:
The use of two-post “telco” racks is not supported.
Caution:
The rack must be located on a level, hard-surfaced floor such as
cement or tile. Do not place the rack on a carpeted floor or
anywhere else that poses risk for static discharge that could
damage your appliance and its drives.
Unpacking the nTier300 VTL
The Spectra nTier300 VTL and its drives are shipped in a cardboard box attached to a
pallet. The only tool needed to unpack the box is a pair of scissors.
Prepare the Unpacking Location
Note:
Make sure that you have a work space area prepared before you
remove the nTier300 VTL from its shipping box.
Set the pallet with the box in a location that gives you adequate clearance around and
above the Spectra nTier300 VTL box so that you can safely unpack it. Make sure that
you have a sturdy work surface near where you will install it. The work surface should
be large enough to accommodate the nTier300 VTL chassis and other components.
