Security Information
To understand the security issues relevant to initial installation of the Oracle ZFS Storage
Appliance, refer to the
Safety Information
Take the following precautions when installing disk shelves and controllers into a rack.
Note -
Before you begin installation, read the Safety Agency Compliance Statements section in the
■
Safety and Compliance Guide for your controller.
For safety reasons, mount the heaviest equipment, typically disk shelves, at the bottom of
■
the rack. For rack-mounting guidelines, refer to the Safety and Compliance Guide for your
controller.
Always load equipment into a rack from the bottom up so that it will not become top-heavy
■
and tip over. Deploy the anti-tip bar to prevent the rack from tipping during equipment
installation.
Ensure that the temperature in the rack will not exceed the equipment's maximum ambient
■
rated temperatures. Consider the total airflow requirements of all equipment installed in the
rack to ensure that the equipment is operated within its specified temperature range.
Always use the width spacer alignment tool when installing rails into racks that use cage
■
nuts and mounting screws. Failure to use the spacer can cause the glides and sliders to jam
and damage the rail.
Do not remove a component if you do not have an immediate replacement. The disk shelf
■
must not be operated without all components in place.
Do not lift a disk shelf by the handles on the power supply with fan modules; they are not
■
designed to take the weight.
