Handling static-sensitive devices

Attention:
avoid damage, keep static-sensitive devices in their static-protective packages until
you are ready to install them.
To reduce the possibility of electrostatic discharge (ESD), observe the following
precautions:
v Limit your movement. Movement can cause static electricity to build up around
v Handle the device carefully, holding it by its edges or its frame.
v Do not touch solder joints, pins, or exposed printed circuitry.
v Do not leave the device where others can handle and possibly damage the
v While the device is still in its static-protective package, touch it to an unpainted
v Remove the device from its package and install it directly into your system unit
v Take additional care when handling devices during cold weather because heating

Preparing for installation

Before installing the DS5020 storage subsystem, create a detailed plan of how this
unit will be used in your storage configuration. The plan might include determining
RAID levels, failover requirements, operating systems to be used, and total storage
capacity requirements.
The following illustration shows the items that you need to install the DS5020
