CAUTION: It is recommended that, if interconnecting equipment resides within more than one equipment rack cabinets, these equipment racks should be at the same ground potential. WARNING: A possible shock hazard may exist in the area of the fan connection. WARNING: Disconnect the AC power cord before removing the power supply from the storage enclosure.
Unpacking and Initial Setup Installing the System in an Equipment Rack Ambient Temperature Unpacking and Initial Setup When you receive your system, visually inspect the exterior of the packaging for any signs of damage. If any damage is found the carrier and Eurologic should be informed immediately, and they will advise you of the appropriate action.
temperatures. Consideration should therefore be given to ensure that the room ambient temperature is compatible with these specifications. Air Flow To ensure that the internal heat build up is properly dissi- pated into the room environment, air flow should in no way be restricted.
Electrical Considerations Circuit Overloading Electrical Considerations When installing the SANbloc Series the following electrical considerations must be applied. Care should be taken to ensure that the current does not exceed the rating of the power source circuitry. This includes cabling, power distribution units, filters and any other devices through which the main AC flows.

CAUTION: Allow disk drives and power supplies to reach room ambient temperature before powering on the shelf. ACHTUNG: Ehe Laufwerke und Netzteile an die Stromversor- gung angeschlossen werden, sollten sie sich an die Raumtemper- atur angepasst haben. FÖRSIKTIGHET: Låt skivdrivenheter och strömtillförsel nå rumstemperatur innan strömförsörjningen slås på.

CAUTION: It is recommended that if interconnecting equip- ment resides within more than one equipment rack cabinet, these rack cabinets should be at the same ground potential. ACHTUNG : Befinden sich Verbindungselemente in mehr als einem Rack-Gehäuse, sollten die Racks dasselbe Massepotential aufweisen.
Page 68
CAUTION: Before attempting to install or remove any of the components, ensure that anti-static precautions have been taken. The minimum requirement is a properly grounded anti-static wrist strap and grounding wire. ACHTUNG: Vor dem Entfernen oder Installieren einer Komponente sollte sichergestellt werden, dass antistatische Vor- sichtsmaßnahmen ergriffen wurden.

CAUTION: The tower skin set is not a field replaceable unit and therefore must not be removed from the Storage Array. ACHTUNG: Das Tower-Gehäuse kann nicht am Einsatzort ausgetauscht werden und sollte deshalb nicht entfernt werden. FÖRSIKTIGHET: Det yttre höljet är inte en utbytbar enhet och skall därför inte avlägsnas från lagringsuppsättningen.
Page 72
CAUTION: After removing the LS Module the resulting hole must be blocked by installing a blanking plate or by installing a replacement LS Module. Failure to do this can disrupt airflow and seriously reduce cooling. ACHTUNG: Nach dem Entfernen des LS Module muss die entstehende Lücke durch eine Blende oder durch die Installa- tion eines anderen LS Module geschlossen werden.
Page 73
OBS: Når en LS Module er fjernet, må hullet blokkeres ved å installere en maskeringsplate eller ved å sette inn en annen LS Module. Dersom dette ikke gjøres, kan det forstyrre lufttil- strømningen og gi sterkt redusert kjøling. WARNING: A possible shock hazard may exist in the area of the fan connection.
