Safety Precautions
2-3
enclosure and rack cover. A minimum of 5cm is required between the enclosure and
the end of the rack.
5. Handle the system modules by the retention screws, eject levers, or the module’s
metal frame/face plate only. Avoid touching the PCB boards, connector pins, and
soldered surfaces.
6. None of the covers or replaceable modules should be removed in order to maintain
compliance with safety, emission, or thermal requirements.
7. Always secure every enclosure module by its retaining screws or make sure it is held
in place by its latches.
8. Always make sure the subsystem has a safe electrical earth connection via power
cords or chassis ground by the rack cabinet.
9. Be sure that the rack cabinet in which the subsystem chassis is to be installed
provides sufficient ventilation channels and airflow circulation around the
subsystem.
10. Provide a soft, clean surface to place your enclosure on before working on it.
Servicing the enclosure on a rough surface may damage the finish of the chassis.
11. If it is necessary to transport the subsystem, repackage all disk drives separately. If
using the original package material, all other modules can stay within the enclosure.
2.3.2 Static-free Installation
The subsystem contains static-sensitive electronic components that can be damaged by
improper handling and electrostatic discharge (ESD). To prevent ESD damage to any of
the components, follow these precautions before touching or handling them:
• Discharge the static electricity from your body by wearing an anti-static wristband
or by touching a grounded metal surface.
• Avoid carpets, plastic, vinyl, and styrofoam in your work area.
• Handle all components by holding their edges or metal frame. Avoid touching
PCB boards and connector pins.
2.3.3 BBU Warnings and Precautions
The BBU module is an optional item that can sustain cache memory in the event of a
power failure or in the unlikely event if both PSUs have failed. Having the protection
to cached data by a BBU is highly recommended. The BBU provides additional data
security and helps minimize the chance of data loss during power outage.
