Storwize V3500: Quick Installation Guide
Racks with a total weight of > 227 kg (500 lb.), Use Only Professional Movers!
(R003)
Do not transport the rack via fork truck unless it is properly packaged,
secured on top of the supplied pallet. (R004)
Main Protective Earth (Ground):
This symbol is marked on the frame of the rack.
The PROTECTIVE EARTHING CONDUCTORS should be terminated at that
point. A recognized or certified closed loop connector (ring terminal) should
be used and secured to the frame with a lock washer using a bolt or stud.
The connector should be properly sized to be suitable for the bolt or stud, the
locking washer, the rating for the conducting wire used, and the considered
rating of the breaker. The intent is to ensure the frame is electrically bonded
to the PROTECTIVE EARTHING CONDUCTORS. The hole that the bolt or
stud goes into where the terminal conductor and the lock washer contact
should be free of any non-conductive material to allow for metal to metal
contact. All PROTECTIVE EARTHING CONDUCTORS should terminate at
this main protective earthing terminal or at points marked with
after maintenance.
1. Ensure that you can stand safely without slipping.
2. Distribute the weight of the object equally between your feet.
3. Use a slow lifting force. Never move suddenly or twist when you attempt to
lift.
4. Lift by standing or by pushing up with your leg muscles; this action removes
the strain from the muscles in your back. Do not attempt to lift any objects that
weigh more than 18 kg (40 lb) or objects that you think are too heavy for you.
