Before You Begin
efore going through with this manual, you should read and focus on the
following safety guidelines. Notes about the subsystem’s controller
configuration and the product packaging and delivery are also included. To
provide reasonable protection against any harm on the part of the user and
to obtain maximum performance, user is advised to be aware of the
following safety guidelines particularly in handling hardware components:
Upon receiving of the product:
Place the product in its proper location.
It should be handled with care to avoid dropping that may cause damage to the
product. Always use the correct lifting procedures.
Upon installing of the product:
Ambient temperature is very important for the installation site. It must not
exceed 30◦C. Due to seasonal climate changes; regulate the installation site
temperature making it not to exceed the allowed ambient temperature.
Before plugging-in any power cords, cables and connectors, make sure that the
power switches are turned off. Disconnect first any power connection if the power
supply module is being removed from the enclosure.
Outlets must be accessible to the equipment.
All external connections should be made using shielded cables and as much as
possible should not be performed by bare hand. Using anti-static hand gloves is
recommended.
In installing each component, secure all the mounting screws and locks. Make
sure that all screws are fully tightened. Follow correctly all the listed procedures
in this manual for reliable performance.
Controller Configurations
This RAID subsystem supports single controller configuration.
Packaging, Shipment and Delivery
