Additional Drive Enclosure Installation Procedure
This section explains how to install additional drive enclosures in the ETERNUS AF.
• When moving a drive enclosure from a cold place, such as an unconditioned store
house in winter, to a warmer place such as an air-conditioned room, the severe
temperature change may result in condensation forming.
To avoid this, allow the packed drive enclosure sufficient time in the warmer place
(one hour for each 15°C of temperature difference) to adapt to the new
temperature.
• When handling drive enclosures, wear a wrist strap or touch a metal part to
discharge the human body's natural static electricity. Failure to discharge static
electricity may cause failure in the ETERNUS AF.
• Do not handle the drive enclosure roughly or subject it to physical shocks when
laying it down.
• Do not stack the drive enclosures.
• Do not knock or drop the drive enclosure on hard objects.
