When loading a rack cabinet with the units, fill from the bottom up and empty it from the top down.
Do not add any load onto the 8-bay Rackmount NAS when it is mounted on its rack rails and installed on its
slide.Doing so can bend the rails and prevent the slide from proper operation.
The rack cabinet design should take into consideration the maximum operating ambient temperature for the
unit, which is 35°C.
The rack cabinet should have a safe electrical distribution system. It must provide overcurrent protection for
the unit and must not be overloaded by the total number of units installed in the rack. When addressing
these concerns, consider the electrical power consumption rating shown on the product.
The electrical distribution system must provide a reliable ground for each unit and for the cabinet.
The power supply unit has a ground leakage current of 3.5mA. The design of the electrical distribution
system must take into consideration the total ground leakage current from all the power supplies in all the
units.
When configured, the cabinet must meet the safety requirements of IEC 60950-1 2nd edition.
Caution: To avoid danger of the cabinet toppling over, under no circumstances should more than
one enclosure be drawn out of the rack cabinet at any one time.
Rack installa on prerequisites
The Seagate 8-bay Rackmount NAS enclosure is designed for installation into an industry standard 19-inch
rack cabinet subject to the following requirements:
There must be a minimum depth of 430mm (16.9 inches) from rack posts to the maximum extremity of
the enclosure (excluding rear cabling).
The rack must be able to support enclosures weighing up to 20Kg (45 lb.).
There must be a minimum gap of 25mm (1 inch) between the rack cover and front of the enclosure.
There must be a minimum gap of 50mm (2 inches) between the rear of the enclosure and the rear of the
rack in order to maintain the correct air flow around the enclosure.
Use in a fully enclosed rack installation is not recommended.
The rack design should take into consideration the maximum operating ambient temperature for the
unit,which is 35°C.
The system must be operated with a low pressure rear exhaust. The back pressure created by rack
doors and obstacles must not exceed 5 Pascals (0.5mm water gauge).
The top cover on the rear of the enclosure provides access to the RAM, hard drives, and riser card slot in
the motherboard. Do not remove the top cover on the rear of the enclosure unless you are performing
maintenance recommended by Seagate technical support. The unit must be turned off and allowed to cool
