Safety Precautions

Read these instructions carefully before you install, operate, or transport the EonStor
DS RAID system and JBODs.

Installation and Operation

 Install the rack cabinet and the associated equipment at a site where
the ambient temperature (special room cooling equipment may be
required) stays lower than:
a. 35C ~ if your system have a BBU (all dual controller systems
come with BBU by default)
b. 40C ~ if your system does not have a BBU
 Install the power source socket outlet near the enclosure where it is
easily accessible and ground the rack cabinet.
 Secure airflow clearance inside and around the rack cabinet.
- Secure an 18 to 20cm clearance on the rear side.
- Do not cover the enclosure openings.
- Route the cables inside the rack cabinet.
- Do not leave drive bays empty as it will affect airflow efficiency.
 Secure each enclosure module using its retaining screws.
 Place power cords and other cables away from foot traffic. Do not place
items on top of power cords and make sure they do not rest against
data cables.
 Install all modules to the enclosure before powering-on systems.
 Ensure that the correct power range is being used before powering-on.
 DO NOT remove covers or replaceable modules if they are not faulty.
 If the system is not going to be used for a long period of time,
disconnect it from the power mains to avoid transient over-voltage.
 For power source redundancy, please make sure that the two PSUs are
plugged into two different power sources (ie. Different circuit breakers).
