1 Preface
1.1 Advisories
Five types of advisories are used throughout this manual to provide helpful information, or to alert you to the
potential for hardware damage or personal injury.
Disclaimer: We have attempted to identify most situations that may pose a danger, warning, or caution condition
in this manual. However, One Stop Systems does not claim to have covered all situations that might require the
use of a Caution, Warning, or Danger indicator.

1.2 Safety Instructions
Always use caution when servicing any electrical component. Before handling the One Stop Systems Expansion
chassis, read the following instructions and safety guidelines to prevent damage to the product and to ensure your
own personal safety. Refer to the “Advisories” section for advisory conventions used in this manual, including the
distinction between Danger, Warning, Caution, Important, and Note.
Always use caution when handling/operating the computer. Only qualified, experienced, authorized electronics
personnel should access the interior of the computer and expansion chassis.
WARNING
Never modify or remove the radio frequency interference shielding from your workstation or
expansion unit. To do so may cause your installation to produce emissions that could interfere
with other electronic equipment in the area of your system.
When Working Inside a Computer
Before taking covers off a computer, perform the following steps:
Turn off the computer and any peripheral devices.
Disconnect the computer and peripheral power cords from their AC outlets or inlets in order to prevent electric
shock or system board damage.
In addition, take note of these safety guidelines when appropriate:
To help avoid possible damage to systems boards, wait five seconds after turning off the computer before
removing a component, removing a system board, or disconnecting a peripheral device from the computer.
When you disconnect a cable, pull on its connector or on its strain-relief loop, not on the cable itself. Some cables
have a connector with locking tabs. If you are disconnecting this type of cable, press in on the locking tabs before
disconnecting the cable. As you pull connectors apart, keep them evenly aligned to avoid bending any connector
pins. Also, before connecting a cable, make sure both connectors are correctly oriented and aligned.
CAUTION
Do not attempt to service the system yourself except as explained in this manual. Follow
installation instructions closely.

1.3 Protecting Against Electrostatic Discharge
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Warning
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) is the enemy of semiconductor devices. You should always take
precautions to eliminate any electrostatic charge from your body and clothing before touching
any semiconductor device or card by using an electrostatic wrist strap and/or rubber mat.
Static electricity can harm system boards. Perform service at an ESD workstation and follow proper ESD
procedures to reduce the risk of damage to components. One Stop Systems strongly encourages you to follow
proper ESD procedures, which can include wrist straps and smocks, when servicing equipment.
You can also take the following steps to prevent damage from electrostatic discharge (ESD):
When unpacking a static-sensitive component from its shipping carton, do not remove the component’s anti-static
packaging material until you are ready to install the component in a computer. Just before unwrapping the anti-
static packaging, be sure you are at an ESD workstation or are grounded.
When transporting a sensitive component, first place it in an anti-static container or packaging.
Handle all sensitive components at an ESD workstation. If possible, use anti-static floor pads and workbench pads.
Handle components and boards with care. Do not touch the components or contacts on a board. Hold a board by
its edges or by its metal mounting bracket.

3.3 Power ON the Unit
•Connect the power cords.
•Press the front switch button to turn ON the unit.
Upon powering ON the unit, the following LEDs will illuminate
•LOGO will illuminate as sold blue.
•Power supply LEDs will illuminate as solid green. Blinking green, indicates the unit is on standby mode.

•Front panel drive LEDs will illuminate as solid green and solid amber.
oSolid green (presence of drive) indicates that there is a drive installed in the carrier slot.
oSolid Amber: No Activity. Blinking Amber: Activity
oIf only AMBER LEDs are illuminated, the IPMI module is malfunctioning, or the firmware is
corrupted / not installed. Contact Technical Support for assistance, send the unit to OSS for service.

5 Storage Drive Installation
5.1 Remove Drive Pack
Turn OFF the storage expansion unit prior to installation of the Drive pack.
Turn the Thumbscrew counterclockwise to loosen the Drive pack.
Grab the Drive pack front handle and gently pull the Drive pack away from the enclosure.
Set the Drive pack on a solid surface. Remove the mounting screw on each side.
Dismount the handle to access the drive trays.
