Drive Enclosure Handling Instructions
■
About Condensation
• Customers are not allowed to install drive enclosures to the ETERNUS DX500 S5/
DX600 S5/DX900 S5. To install drive enclosures, contact your sales representative
or maintenance engineer.
• Do not uninstall or move a drive enclosure that is already installed.
Contact your sales representative or maintenance engineer if a drive enclosure
needs to be uninstalled or moved.
• When installing the ETERNUS DX, secure the rack to the floor to prevent the rack
from moving out of place or from toppling over. For details on the rack installation
requirements, refer to "Site Planning Guide".
• When moving a drive enclosure from a cold place, such as an unconditioned store
house in winter, to a warmer place such as an air-conditioned room, the severe
temperature change may result in condensation forming.
To avoid this, allow the packed drive enclosure sufficient time in the warmer place
(one hour for each 15°C of temperature difference) to adapt to the new
temperature.
