Safety Information
Correct method for wearing an ESD wrist strap whose ground terminal is a plug.
Do not operate devices or handle cables on a stormy day.
To avoid eye injuries, do not look into the optical outlets without eye protection.
Before you handle devices, wear ESD clothes, a pair of ESD gloves, or an ESD wrist strap and
remove conductive objects such as ornaments and watches.
Do not wear an ESD wrist strap during power-on to avoid electric shocks.
To avoid data loss, do not insert or remove hard disks, controllers, expansion modules, or cables
during power-on.
To avoid device damage, ensure that all devices are properly grounded before power-on.

3 Installing Bays
(Optional) Removing side panels
6
3a
Do this procedure only when your storage system is configured with system bays and disk bays.
In this case, there is one system bay and one disk bay placed beside each other. You need to
remove the system bay side panel against the disk bay and the disk bay side panel against the
system bay before installation so that SAS cables can be routed between the two bays.
To remove a side panel, do as follows:
1. Insert the key (locks on the front and rear doors and the side panels use the same key) delivered with the
bay to any of the two keyholes on the side panel and turn the key clockwise to open the lock, and then do
the same in the other keyhole.
2. Pull the handle below the keyhole to detach the side panel's upper part from the bay.
3. Remove the side panel from the bay.

Securing bays
3b
Leave a 6 mm to 8 mm space between every two bays so that the front door of the bay on the right can
move free when the front door of the bay on the left is fully open.
Use an adjustable wrench to extend the leveling caster until the caster are not touching the ground and
the bay is level.

The connecting plates are delivered with the bays. Obtain the connecting plates at the bay
bottom near the rear door.
Connecting two bays needs six connecting plates (two at the top, two at the front and two at
the back).
Use screws to fasten one end of a connecting plate to one of the adjacent bays and the other end to the
other bay. Then install the other connecting plates in the same way.

Routing cables between bays
4a
Perform this step only when your storage system
has system bays and disk bays.
Route cross-bay network cables, optical fiber cables, and
AOCs overhead, as shown in the following figure.
Route the SAS cables between the adjacent system bay and disk
bay, as shown in the left figure.
You can also route them underfloor if there are
holes for cables routing on the floor.
