Overland Storage SnapScale X2 Quick Start Manual

Quick Start Guide
SnapScale X2 ®
2U Node
Step 1
It is essential that you activate your warranty for each SnapScale node. Technical and
warranty support are not available for the nodes until the warranty is active:
1. Go to http://www.overlandstorage.com/ and select
Service & Support > Sign-in To My Account.
2. At the Site Login, enter your e-mail address and
password, and click GO.
3. Click Register New.
4. Fill in the information and click Submit.
As a registered user, your basic data is entered automatically. Only the serial
number must be entered. This speeds up registering multiple nodes.
Your warranty certificate will be emailed to you. Follow the instructions included in
the email to complete the registration process.
Step 2
WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to equipment, always
remove any power cords while working with the unit.
AVERTISSEMENT: Pour réduire le risque de choc électrique ou endommagement de
l'équipement, retirez toujours les cordons électriques en travaillant avec l'appareil.
Unpack the unit placing it and the drives on a secure surface. Remove the blue plastic
film. Any optional internal components, such as expansion cards and extra memory,
need to be installed before continuing. Refer to the installation instructions and
warnings that are packaged with the add-on components.
Step 3
The SnapScale X2 comes with a sliding rail rack kit for easy installation into a 19-inch
(EIA-310) rack. The two inner rails are identical; install them with their front ends
pointed toward the front of the node.
IMPORTANT: Two-post telco-style or other racks less than 29 inches in depth will NOT
support this unit.
Attach Inner Rails to Unit
1. Select a rail assembly and slide the inner rail out until it stops.

Optional Steps for Thicker Rack Rails
For standard rack rail sizes 3mm or less, skip this procedure and proceed to
Outer Rails to Square-holed Rack."
For racks with rails thicker than 3mm, the sliding rail anchors cannot be seated
without exerting excessive force and possibly damaging the sliding rail kit. The
brackets must be removed from each end of the rails to make the anchors seat securely:
1. Locate the bracket at the end of a slide rail and remove the screw securing the
bracket to the rail.
2. Pushing the bracket toward the end of the rail, pry the back of the bracket
upward to unseat and remove it.
3. Repeat Steps 1–2
4. Repeat Steps 1–3
5. Use the two supplied screws to secure the rear ends of the rails to the rack.
Attach Outer Rails to Square-holed Rack
WARNING:
It is recommended that a mechanical lifter (or at least two people) be
used to raise and align the unit to prevent injury during installation. Use care when
inserting or removing a unit into or out of a rack to prevent the accidental tipping of
the rack, causing damage or personal injury.
AVERTISSEMENT:
recommande d'utiliser un monte-charge (ou au moins deux personnes) pour élever ou
aligner l'appareil. Faites attention lorsque vous insérez ou retirez l'appareil d'un
support, pour empêcher le déversement accidentel de la crémaillère causant des
dommages et des blessures.
1. Position the front of one of the rails in line with the front vertical rail mounting
holes (1) and move it forward until the rail anchors are through the holes.

2. Push the rail toward the outside of the rack (2) until the rail locks snap into
place.
3. At the rear (3), slide the outer rail in or out (a) to fit between the vertical rails on
that side and then repeat Steps 1–2 to secure it (b).
Make sure the rear holes are the same height as the front holes so the rail is level.
4. For the other rail, repeat Steps 1–3.
Make sure this rail is mounted at the same height as the first rail.
Install in Rack
1. Using the mechanical lifter, position the node in
front of the rack.
2. Insert the inner rails into the middle rails
and slide the unit into the rack.
3. Using four of the provided screws, secure the
SnapScale to the front of the rack.
Step 4
The SnapScale X2 comes with eight blank drive carriers installed (drives are sold
separately). As many as 12 disk drives can be installed leaving blank drive carriers
filling in any empty bays.
IMPORTANT: To maintain proper airflow and cooling, a drive assembly or a blank drive
carrier must be installed in every bay. No empty bays are allowed.
Install Drives
NOTE: Do not remove the disk drives from their carriers. Doing so voids the drive warranty.
Once the SnapScale node is in the rack, install the drives as follows:
1. Remove any blank drive carriers from the bays that will be used for drives.
2. Starting at the top left, position a drive assembly in front of a bay.
3. Slide the assembly in until it stops.
4. Push in the latch until it clicks, locking the assembly in the bay.
5. Repeat Steps 2–4 for each remaining drive assembly.
Attach the Bezel
1. Position the bezel with the top and bottom edges aligned with the top and bottom
bezel slots on the front of the node.
2. Push the bezel toward the unit until the magnets on the ends connect and the
bezel snaps into place.
3. Verify that the bezel is aligned properly with all the LEDs visible and the Power
Panel on the left side is in line with the hole on the bezel flange.
