The instructions here apply to the Vess Class A Series. Follow the instructions according to the form factor of
the Vess enclosure you are installing.
Cautions
• Do not populate any unit with hard drives until it has been securely
installed in the rack.
• At least two persons are required to safely lift, place, and attach the
Vess unit into a rack system.
• Do not lift or move the Vess unit by the handles, power supplies or
the controller units. Hold the system itself.
• Do not install the Vess unit into a rack without rails to support the
system.
• Only a qualified technician who is familiar with the installation
procedure should mount and install the Vess unit.
• Mount the rails to the rack using the appropriate screws and flange
nuts, fully tightened, at each end of the rail.
• Do not load the rails unless they are installed with screws as
instructed.
• The rails available for the PROMISE Vess unit are designed to safely
support that PROMISE Vess unit when properly installed. Additional
loading on the rails is at the customer's risk.
• PROMISE Technology, Inc. cannot guarantee that the mounting rails
will support your PROMISE Vess unit unless you install them as
instructed.
Note
To lighten the Vess enclosure, you can remove the power supplies. Replace the
power supplies after the Vess unit is mounted in your rack.

Please refer to the Quick Installation Guide included with the mounting rails for
