Unpack and prepare the storage enclosure

CAUTION Do not operate a storage enclosure outside the manufacturer's intended use.
Storage enclosures are suitable for connection to intra-building or non-exposed wiring or cabling only.
l
Storage enclosures are suitable for installation in locations where the National Electrical Code (NEC) applies, but are
l
not suitable for Outside Plant (OSP) installations.
Customer facilities must provide for voltages with not more than ± 5 percent fluctuation. Customer facilities must also
l
provide suitable surge protection.
CAUTION The storage enclosure ships in a partially-populated state. All PCBAs and FRUs ship in the storage
enclosure, but the disk drives do not. It is very heavy, so handle with care and adhere to Seagate recommendations.
