Step 1: Preparing for Installation
!
Caution: Before touching any of the Storage Enclosure
components, ground yourself and take antistatic precautions.
Adaptec recommends that you use an antistatic wrist strap
and a grounding wire as a minimum precaution.
Remove all of the components from the packaging and place them
on an antistatic surface until you are ready to use them. If you are
using new disk drives, place them so they acclimate to room
temperature before you install them in the enclosure and power on
the system.
Before continuing, inspect the components for shipping damage.
Ensure that you have the tools you require for rack or tower
assembly installation:
Phillips-head screwdriver
■
Wrench for tightening nuts (if your rack does not have threaded
■
holes)
