subsystem. Please confirm that you received all of the components
listed on a printed copy of Unpacking List that came with the

Installation Prerequisites

IMPORTANT!
The EonStor Plus! series is shipped with pre-ordered disk drives that
fit half of an enclosure's drive bays. If you need to fill the rest of the
drive bays later, please contact your dealer. Firmware does not
recognize disk drives you separately purchased or acquired through
other vendors.
1. Static-free installation environment: The enclosure must be
installed in a static-free environment to minimize the possibility of
electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage. (See Section 2.3)
2. Component check: Before installing the enclosure, check to see
that you have received all the required components. (See
Section 2.5) If any items appear damaged, contact your vendor
for a replacement.
