Prepare to Install the A12T3-Share
To ensure safe and smooth operation of your A12T3-Share, it is essential that you choose an
appropriate location for the system, provide an appropriate operating environment, and
adequate power for all components of the system. As you plan for installation, follow the
guidelines below to ensure that the system and its environment are safely and appropriately
positioned for efficient operation and service.
2.1
Precaution for Handling the System
Take the following precautions to avoid damage to the system or potential injury to you.
1. Prepare a flat and sturdy surface before removing the system from its package. The table or
cart that holds the system should be as near as possible to the system carton.
2. Make sure that all power switches have been turned off and all power cords disconnected to
prevent personal injury and damage to the hardware.
3. Static electricity can damage electronic components of your system. Follow the guidelines
below to avoid such damage:
a. Work in a static-free environment.
b. Wear a grounded anti-static wrist strap.
c. Store uninstalled components in anti-static bags.
d. Handle circuit boards by their edges and avoid touching chips and connectors.
2.2
Choose Location for the System
The A12T3-Share is designed as a tower solution. Depending on where your desk, rackmount
cabinet, or other install location is, you should keep the following in mind when determining
where to place your system.
1. Measure the available space of your desk for the space required for the A12T3-Share.
(Refer to
chapter 1.1.2
2. Measure the distance between any two components that need to be connected via cable(s).
This measurement will help you determine the length of the required cable(s). If you've
already purchased the cables, it helps you to determine the proximity of the components in
question.
3. Leave sufficient room, at least two inches, around the unit to allow air ventilation.
4. Do not block or cover any of the ventilation holes in the front and back panels of the unit.
Consistent airflow is essential to keep the system operating efficiently.
5. Make ample room at the front and back of the unit for service.
6. The A12T3-Share uses several cables and cords. It's a good idea to determine how they will
be arranged at the rear of the system, and where the cables will be routed to connect the
host systems and RAID disk systems.
2.3
Electrical Power
At your chosen location for the A12T3-Share, make sure that the electrical circuitry and power
outlets are sufficient for the combined power needs of all hardware components. To plan for
safe and adequate power for the system, follow these guidelines:
1. Check the documentation for all hardware components at the chosen location to determine
their power requirements. Then make sure that the available power supply for that location
is sufficient for the planned components.
2. It is better to use surge protectors or power conditions as part of the installation.
