WARNING: Insert Network Interface Only - Any receptacle (e.g. RJ45
marked with this symbol indicates a network interface connection. To
reduce the risk of electric shock, fire or damage to equipment, do not
plug telephone or telecommunications connectors into this receptacle.
WARNING: This symbol, on power supplies or systems, that the
equipment is supplied by multiple sources of power. To reduce the risk
of injury from electric shock, remove all power cords to completely
power down the system.
WARNING: This symbol indicates that the component exceeds the
recommended weight for one individual to handle safely. To reduce the
risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment, observe local
occupational health and safety requirements and guidelines for manual
material handling.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Technician Notes
●Only authorized technicians should attempt to repair this
equipment.
●Before installing this system, carefully read all the manuals
included with the system.
●All repair procedures allow only module replacement. Because of
the complexity of the individual boards and sub-assemblies, no
one should attempt to make repairs at the component level or
make modifications to any printed wiring board. Improper repairs
can create a safety hazard.
●To reduce the risk of personal injury from electric shock and
hazardous energy levels, do not exceed the level of repairs
specified in these procedures.
●The system is designed to be electrically grounded. To ensure
proper operation, plug the AC power cord into a properly grounded
AC outlet only.
Electrostatic Discharge Precautions
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage static sensitive devices
or micro circuitry. Proper packaging and grounding techniques are
required to prevent damage.
Keep electrostatic-sensitive parts in their containers until they

AS212RS User Guide
13
arrive at a static free work area.
Use a wrist strap connected to the work surface as well as
properly grounded tools and equipment.
Keep the area free of nonconductive materials such as ordinary
plastic tools and foam packaging.
Avoid touching pins, leads, or circuitry.
Always place drives with printed circuit board (PCB) assembly-side
down.
Grasp cards and boards by the edges. Hold drives by the frame.
Avoid touching the solder joints or pins.
If you need to lay the device down while it is out of the antistatic
bag, lay it on the antistatic bag. Before picking it up again, touch
the antistatic bag and the metal frame of the system unit at the
same time.
Rack Warnings
If you plan to rack mount this product, please follow the rack
manufacturer’s safety instructions.
Install the enclosure only in a rack that has been properly secured
in an area with suitable environmental conditions.
Have someone assist you during physical installation.
To properly ventilate the system, you must provide at least 7.6 cm
of clearance at the front and back of the system.
To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to equipment,
always ensure that the rack is adequately stabilized prior to
extending a component outside the rack. A rack may become

AS212RS User Guide
14
unstable if more than one component is extended. Extend only
one at a time.
Do not stand or step on any components in the rack.
If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating
ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater
than room ambient. Therefore, consideration should be given to
installing the equipment in an environment compatible with the
maximum ambient temperature (Tma) specified by the
manufacturer.
Do no overload the AC power supply branch circuit that provides
power to the rack. Observe extension cable and power strip
ratings. Ensure that the total ampere rating of all equipment
plugged into the extension cable or power strip does not exceed
80 percent of the ampere ratings limit for the extension cable or
power strip.
System Warnings
Avoid dust, humidity, and extreme temperatures; place the
system on a stable surface.
To reduce the risk of personal injury from hot surfaces, allow the
hot-plug disk modules and other system modules to cool before
touching them.
To reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to the equipment,
do not disable the power cord grounding plug. The grounding plug
is an important safety feature.
Ensure the power cord is inserted into a grounded electrical outlet
that is easily accessible at all times. Unplug the power cord from
the power supply module to shut off power to the equipment.

AS212RS User Guide
15
Protect the storage system from power fluctuations and temporary
power interruptions with a regulating uninterruptible power supply
(UPS). This device protects the hardware from damage caused by
power surges and voltage spikes and keeps the system
operational during a power failure.
The storage system must always be operated with all hot plug
modules installed or slot covers in place to ensure proper cooling.
Route power cords so that they will not be walked on or pinched
by items places upon or against them. Pay particular attention to
the plug, electrical outlet, and the point where the cords exit from
the product.

Product EMC Compliance
This product has been assembled from components that comply with the following
electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) regulations.
FCC CFR Title 47 Part 15 Subpart B: 2019 Class A
EN 55032:2015/A11:2020 , EN 55035:2017/A11:2020 , EN 61000-3-3:2013+A1:2019 ,
EN IEC 61000-3-2:2019
Communications Commission Notice
Part 15 of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Rules and Regulations
has established Radio Frequency (RF) emission limits to provide an interference-free
radio frequency spectrum. Many electronic devices, including computers, generate
RF energy incidental to their intended function and are, therefore, covered by these
rules. These rules place computers and related peripheral devices into two classes, A
and B, depending upon their intended installation. Class A devices are those that
may reasonably be expected to be installed in a business or commercial
environment. Class B devices are those that may reasonably be expected to be
installed in a residential environment (for example, personal computers). The FCC
requires devices in both classes to bear a label indicating the interference potential
of the device, as well as additional operating instruction for the user.
The rating label on the device shows which class (A or B) the equipment falls into.
Class A devices do not have an FCC logo or FCC ID on the label. Class B devices

AS212RS User Guide
18
have an FCC logo or FCC ID on the label. Once the class of the device is determined,
refer to the following corresponding statement.
Class A Equipment
This equipment has been assembled with components that comply with the limits for
a Class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are
designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the
equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates,
uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in
accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause
harmful interference, in which case the user will be required to correct the
interference at personal expense.
Declaration of Conformity for Products Marked with the FCC Logo - United
States Only
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules Operation and is subject to the
following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference that
may cause undesired operation. For questions regarding your product, please
contact your sales representative.
To identify this product, refer to the Part, Series, or Model number found on the
product.
