Preparing for Setup
The StorTrends 1300 includes a set of rail assemblies, including mounting brackets and
mounting screws you will need to install the system into the rack. Please read this
document in its entirety before you begin the installation procedure.
Choosing a Setup Location
•
Leave enough clearance in front of the rack to enable you to open the front door
completely (~25 inches).
•
Leave approximately 30 inches of clearance in the back of the rack to allow for
sufficient airflow and ease in servicing.
•
This product is for installation only in a Restricted Access Location (dedicated
equipment rooms, service closets and the like).
Rack Precautions
•
Ensure that the leveling jacks on the bottom of the rack are fully extended to the
floor with the full weight of the rack resting on them.
•
In a single rack installation, stabilizers should be attached to the rack.
•
In multiple rack installations, the racks should be coupled together.
•
Always make sure the rack is stable before extending a component from the rack.
•
You should extend only one component at a time - extending two or more
simultaneously may cause the rack to become unstable.
Server Precautions
•
Review the electrical and general safety precautions located in this guide.
•
Determine the placement of each component in the rack before you install the
rails.
•
Install the heaviest server components on the bottom of the rack first, and then
work up.
•
Use a regulating uninterruptible power supply (UPS) to protect the server from
power surges, voltage spikes and to keep your system operating in case of a
power failure.
•
Allow the power supply units and hot plug SAS drives to cool before touching
them.
•
Always keep the rack's front door and all panels and components on the servers
closed when not servicing to maintain proper cooling.
