Installation, Servicing, and Removal
Attention:
Do not
install or remove the enclosure while it is populated with drives. The fully
populated enclosure exceeds the amount of weight that a team of two should lift.
1.2
Rack Safety
When extended out of the rack on the rail system, the Ultrastar Data102 will be ~950 mm / 37.4in. extended
outward. This may be a potential tipping hazard depending on the configuration of the rack. Ensure that
leveling feet, anti-tilt, and any other safety features recommended by the specific rack manufacturers have
been deployed before servicing.
The handles on the front of the chassis are not intended to be used to support the weight of the Ultrastar
Data102. Lifting the unit by the chassis handles or trying to support the unit on the handles can cause them
to fail. This can cause serious damage to the unit or serious bodily harm to those handling the unit. Always
team lift the chassis by gripping the underside of the unit, and never try to lift a chassis that is filled with
drives.
If the chassis is being installed into a rack that will be shipped fully assembled, you
must
install eight (four
per side) of the included M5 x 12mm T15 Flat Head Torx screws into the two brackets at the front of the
chassis in the following locations. These screws should be tightened to 3.38-3.61 Nm / 30-32 in-lbf using a
Long T15 Torx Screwdriver.
