1 Introduction
1.1 Safe Handling
• An enclosure can weigh up to 24kg
(53lb). Do not try to lift it by yourself.
• Do not lift the enclosure by the
handles on the PCMs. They are not
designed to take the weight.
3 Installation
3.1 Mounting the System into a Rack
1.4 PCMOperation
1.5 ESD Precautions
It is recommended that you fit and check
a suitable anti-static wrist or ankle
strap and observe all conventional ESD
precautions when handling plug-in
modules and components. Avoid contact
with backplane components and module
connectors, etc.
1.2 Safety
•All plug-in modules and blank plates
are part of the fire enclosure and must
only be removed when a replacement
can be immediately added. The system
must not be run without all modules or
blanks in place.
• Permanently unplug the unit before
you move it or if you think it has
become damaged in any way.
If you intend to mount the
system into a rack, refer to the
label on the rail: see Figure 2.
To facilitate access, remove the
door from the rack.
Lift the enclosure and position the
rear on the rack guide rails.

The following safety requirements must
be considered when the unit is mounted
in a rack.
• The rack construction must be capable
of supporting the total weight of the
installed enclosure(s) and the design
should incorporate stabilizing features
suitable to prevent the rack from tipping
or being pushed over during installation
or in normal use.
• When loading a rack with the units, fill
the rack from the bottom up and empty
from the top down.
• To avoid danger of the rack toppling
over, do not slide more than one enclosure
out of the rack at a time.
• The system must be operated with low
pressure rear exhaust installation [back
pressure created by rack doors and
obstacles not to exceed 5 pascals (0.5mm
water gauge)].
• The rack design should take into consid-
eration the maximum operating ambient
temperature for the unit, which is 40°C.
• The rack should have a safe electrical
distribution system. It must provide over-
current protection for the unit and must not
be overloaded by the total number of units
installed in the rack. When addressing
these concerns consideration should be
given to the electrical power consumption
rating shown on the nameplate.
• The electrical distribution system must
provide a reliable earth for each unit in
the rack.
• Each power supply in each unit has an
earth leakage current of 1.0mA. The
design of the electrical distribution system
must take into consideration the total
earth leakage current from all the power
supplies in all the units. The rack may
require labeling with "HIGH LEAKAGE
CURRENT. Earth connection essential
before connecting supply".
• The rack when configured with the units
must meet the safety requirements of UL
60950-1 and IEC 60950-1.
2 Preparation
2.1 Before You Begin
Before you begin, make sure the site
where you intend to set up and use your
storage system has the following:
• Standard power from an independent
source or a rack power distribution
unit with a UPS.
• Host computer with the correct
firmware, BIOS and drivers. Contact
your supplier for the correct software
levels.
Before setting up your enclosure ensure
you have the following:
• SAS HBA
• Mini-SAS to Host Cable
• Power Cord
• Rack kit (if installing within a rack)
Refer to your supplier for a list of qualified
accessories for use with the enclosure.
The Accessory Box contains the power
cords and other ordered accessories.
Slide the enclosure fully into the rack, and secure with screws in the mounting
flanges (see Figure 2).
• The enclosure must only be operated
from a power supply input voltage
range of 100-240 VAC.
• The plug on the power supply cord is
used as the main disconnect device.
Ensure that the socket outlets are located
near the equipment and are easily
accessible.
• When powered by multiple AC
sources, disconnect all supply power for
complete isolation.
• In order to comply with applicable
safety, emission and thermal require-
ments no covers should be removed and
all bays must be populated with plug-in
modules.
• The power connection should always
be disconnected prior to removal of a
PCM from the enclosure.
• A safe electrical earth connection must
be provided to the power supply cords.
Check the grounding of the enclosure
before applying power.
• Provide a suitable power source with
electrical overload protection to meet the
requirements laid down in the technical
specification.
• When bifurcated power cords (‘Y’
leads) are used, they must only be
connected to a supply range of
200-240 V.
• A faulty PCM must be replaced with a
fully operational module within 24 hrs.
• Do not remove a faulty PCM unless
you have a replacement model of the
correct type ready for insertion.
2.2 Unpacking the Storage System
Inspect the packaging for crushes, cuts, water damage or any other evidence of
mishandling during transit. If any damage appears present, for future reference
photograph the packaging before opening.
Unpack the system. See Figure 1.

Important: The enclosure
MUST be grounded before
applying power.
Caution: A populated
enclosure can weigh up
to 24kg (53lb). Do not try to lift
it by yourself.
1.3 Rack System
Precautions
Warning: Do not
remove a PCM unless a
replacement can be immediately
added. The system must not be
run without all units or module
blanks in place.
Caution: The optional
RJ45 socket on the I/O
module, it isfor Ethernet
connection only and must
not be connected to a
telecommunications network.
Important: Thisrail kit must be
installed by trained service
personnel only. Before install-
ing this rail kit, ensure you
understand theseinstructions.
Ifin anydoubt please contact
your equipment supplier .
Warning: Do not remove
covers from the PCM.
Danger of electric shock inside.
Return the PCM to your supplier
for repair.

Caution: If this equipment
is used in a manner not
specified by the manufacturer,
the protection provided by the
equipment may be impaired.
