Use the following procedures to remove the CRUs from the FAStT100 before
installation. Use these instructions after you have completed all applicable site,
rack, and FAStT100 preparations (as discussed in "Preparing for installation" on
page 14) and installed the support rails (as discussed in "Installing the support rails"
on page 18). Alternately, if necessary, you can use these instructions to lighten the
FAStT100 before removing it from the shipping box. The shipping box opens to
provide access to the storage server CRUs.
The FAStT100 comes with a rack-mounting hardware kit for installing it in a rack. It
is easier to lift the FAStT100 and install it in a rack cabinet if you remove all the
CRUs first. You will need an antistatic wrist strap and a cart or level surface (to hold
the CRUs). Observe the precautions listed in "Handling static-sensitive devices" on
page 14. In the following procedure, you will remove the following CRUs from the
storage server before you install it in the rack:
v RAID controllers
v Power supplies
v Fans
v Hot-swap hard disk drives
You do not need to remove the blank trays.
Statement 4:
≥ 18 kg (39.7 lb)
≥ 32 kg (70.5 lb)

CAUTION:
Use safe practices when lifting.
Attention:
The storage server comes with a bezel that is attached to the front of
the unit. The bezel protects the light pipes that are located above the drive trays.
Leave the protective bezel in place until you are instructed to remove it.
