An electrical outlet that is not correctly wired could place hazardous voltage on the
metal parts of the system or the devices that attach to the system. It is the responsibility of the
customer to ensure that the outlet is correctly wired and grounded to prevent an electrical shock.

Safe handling

Handle the enclosure with care.
v An unpopulated enclosure can weigh up to 45kg (100lb). Use appropriate lifting methods.
v A fully populated enclosure weighs 135kg (298lb). Only lift the enclosure when the drawers are empty
and latched closed. Do not attempt to lift the enclosure when populated with drives.
v Do not lift the enclosure by the handles on the rear modules. They are not designed to take the weight.
Only lift from underneath the main chassis.
v When closing the drawers, do so firmly, ensuring the latches are engaged.
