Electrostatic Discharge Precautions; Multiple Rack Systems - Oracle FS1-2 Installation Manual

Electrostatic Discharge Precautions

Caution: Before you handle a component, make sure that you have taken
electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions:
The minimum requirement is an anti-static wrist strap connected to a hard
•
ground. Remove components from their packaging and place them on an
ESD-qualified table that is equipped with ground points for wrist straps.
Static charges can build up rapidly on rolling carts. If you transport a
•
hardware component by cart, ground the cart with a drag chain on an ESD
floor. If there is no ESD cart available or ESD floor, ground yourself before
you touch a component that has been transported on a cart.

Multiple Rack Systems

Multiple-rack systems might require removal of the side panels between the
adjacent racks to allow cables to be routed between the racks. Refer to the rack
vendor's documentation for more information.
Use a mini-SAS to mini-SAS HD cable (9.84 feet/3m) to connect a Controller in
one rack to a Drive Enclosure.
Use a mini-SAS to mini-SAS HD cable (19.68 feet/6m) to connect a Controller in
one rack to a Drive Enclosure in another rack.
Use a mini-SAS to mini-SAS cable (9.84 feet/3m) to connect a Drive Enclosure in
one rack to a Drive Enclosure of the same string in another rack.
The following figure shows a wiring diagram for cabling a Controller in one rack
to a Drive Enclosure in another rack.
