Safety precaution
Read these instructions carefully before you install, operate, or transport the Infortrend storage systems
and expansion systems.
Energy hazards precaution
This equipment is intended to be used in a restricted access location, like a computer room. Only allow
access to SERVICE PERSONS or users who have been instructed about the metal chassis of the
equipment, which may have hazardous energy that service persons must pay attention or take special
protection before touching it. Also, the access is through the use of a key or security identity system.
Only the authorized and well-trained personnel can access the restricted access location.
Installation and operation
• Install the rack cabinet and the associated equipment at a site where the ambient temperature
(special room cooling equipment may be required) stays lower than 40°C.
• Install the power source socket outlet near the enclosure where it is easily accessible and ground
the rack cabinet.
• Secure airow clearance inside and around the rack cabinet.
• Secure an 18 to 20 cm clearance on the rear side.
• Do not cover the enclosure openings.
• Route the cables inside the rack cabinet.
• Do not leave drive bays empty as it will affect airow efciency.
• Secure each enclosure module using its retention screws.
• Place power cords and other cables away from foot trafc. Do not place items on top of power
cords and ensure they do not rest against data cables.
• Install all modules to the enclosure before turning on the systems.
• Ensure that the correct power range is tested before turning on.
• DO NOT remove the covers or replaceable modules if they are not faulty.
• If the system is used for a long period of time, disconnect it from the power outlet to avoid transient
over-voltage.
For power source redundancy, please make sure that the two PSUs are plugged into two different power
sources (i.e. different circuit breakers).
Service and maintenance
• Keep the faulty module in place until you have a replacement unit; an empty module greatly affects
the airow efciency within the enclosure.
• During service operation, place the enclosure on a soft and clean surface to prevent exterior
damage. Do not place tools or other items on top.
• When transporting the enclosure, repackage all disk drives separately in the original package foam
blocks. Replaceable modules can stay in the enclosure if you are using the original package; if not,
repackage them separately as well.
• Disconnect the power cords before servicing or cleaning the enclosure.
