Page 39: Mounting The System Into A Rack
SpycerNode Installation Mounting the System into a Rack Mounting the System into a Rack Rack System Precautions The following safety requirements must be considered when the unit is mounted in a rack. ● The rack construction must be capable of supporting the total weight of the installed enclosure(s) and the design should incorporate stabilizing features suitable to prevent the rack from tipping or being pushed over during installation or in normal use.
Page 40 Installation SpycerNode Mounting the System into a Rack Risk of injury. An unpopulated enclosure can weigh up to 50 kg and more. Do not try to lift it by yourself. Never attempt to lift the enclosure when populated with drives. Till removing the device, from the rack beware that the enclosure is not permanently connected with the rack.
Page 41: Enclosures
SpycerNode Installation Mounting the System into a Rack 2U Enclosures Perform the following steps: Refer to the label on rail (left hand rail only shown for clarity).

Page 96: Safety Instructions
Maintenance SpycerNode Safety Instructions Safety Instructions Electronic discharge Computer hardware contains components that are sensitive to electrostatic discharge. If you touch them without precau- tionary measures, they can be destroyed. It is recommended that you fit and check a suitable anti- static wrist or ankle strap and observe all conventional ESD precautions when handling plug-in modules and components.
Page 97: Replacing An I/O Module
SpycerNode Maintenance Replacing an I/O Module Replacing an I/O Module The I/O module is hot-swappable and therefore removal or replacement may be done while the power supply is on. Removing an I/O Module Overheating damage An incorrect airflow can damage components. Do not remove this module unless a replacement can be immediately added.

Maintenance SpycerNode 2U Enclosures Replacing a Power Cooling Module The power cooling module is hot-swappable. Danger of electric shock inside In the power supply components be located directly on the mains voltage. Even after discon- nection touching can be fatal. Do not remove covers from the power cooling module.
Page 101 SpycerNode Maintenance 2U Enclosures Grasp the latch and the side of the power cooling module handle between thumb and forefinger, squeeze together and open the handle to cam the power cooling module out of the enclosure. Grip the handle and withdraw the power cooling module. The power cooling module is successfully removed.
Page 102: Replacing A Drive Carrier (2U12)
Maintenance SpycerNode 2U Enclosures Installing a Power Cooling Module Overheating damage Operation of the enclosure with any modules missing will disrupt the airflow and the drives will not receive sufficient cooling. Handle the power cooling module carefully and avoid damaging the connector pins. Do not install the power cooling module if any pins appear to be bent.
Page 103 SpycerNode Maintenance 2U Enclosures Identifying a Broken Disk Carrier The procedure is basically the same as for 5U enclosures. Perform the following steps: • Follow the instructions in chapter “Identifying a Broken Drive Carrier” on page 114. Removing a 3.5-inch Drive Carrier Disk damage Damage can occur to a drive if it is removed while it still spins.
Page 104 Maintenance SpycerNode 2U Enclosures Gently remove the drive carrier approximately 1 inch (25mm), then wait 30 seconds. Remove the module fully from the drive bay. Overheating damage There will be inadequate drive cooling if any of the unused drive bays are left open. Dummy drive carriers must be fitted to all unused drive bays.
Page 105 SpycerNode Maintenance 2U Enclosures Perform the following steps: Release the drive carrier handle, by depressing the latch in the handle. Put the drive carrier into the enclosure. Make sure that the drive carrier is in a position so that the drive points up and the handle opens from the left.

Maintenance SpycerNode 2U Enclosures Activating the Anti-tamper Locks Perform the following steps: Carefully put the lock key provided into the cutout in the handle. Position the key into its socket. Rotate the key in a clockwise direction until the indicator is visible in the aperture beside the key.
Page 107 SpycerNode Maintenance 2U Enclosures Removing a 2.5-inch Drive Carrier The replacement procedure for 2.5” drive carriers is basically the same as for 3.5” drive carriers, except that the 2.5” drive carriers are mounted verti- cally. Disk damage Damage can occur to a drive if it is removed while it still spins.
Page 108 Maintenance SpycerNode 2U Enclosures Installing a 2.5-inch Drive Carrier Perform the following steps: Release the carrier handle, by pressing the latch in the handle down- wards and insert the carrier into the enclosure in the vertical position. Make sure that the carrier is positioned so that the drive is on the left side and the handle opens from the top.
Page 109 SpycerNode Maintenance 2U Enclosures Cam the carrier home. The camming lever on the carrier will engage into a slot in the enclosure. Continue to push firmly until the handle fully engages. A click should be heard as the latch engages and holds the handle closed.
Page 110: Dummy Carrier Removal/Replacement
Maintenance SpycerNode 2U Enclosures Dummy Carrier Removal/Replacement Dummy drive carrier modules are removed and replaced in the enclosure simply by pulling the module out of the enclosure or pushing it into place. Replacing a Power Supply Unit Removing a Power Supply Unit The power supplies in the 2U enclosure include cooling fans as well as supplying power to the system.
Page 111 SpycerNode Maintenance 2U Enclosures Installing a Power Supply Unit Perform the following steps: Position the power supply so that the release latch and handle are closest to the controller. Slide the power supply into its slot and close the handle until the latch clicks in place.

Lower the drive carrier into the slot, with the drive capacity label facing towards you (1).
Page 117: Replacing A Cooling Module
SpycerNode Maintenance 5U Enclosures Overheating damage An incorrect airflow can damage components. The drawers must be populated with drives in whole rows at a time (there are 3 rows of 14 drives per drawer). The minimum number of drives in an enclosure is 14, the number of rows must not differ by more than 1 between top and bottom drawers and the rows should be populated from the front to the rear of the enclosure.
Page 118 Maintenance SpycerNode 5U Enclosures Push down and hold the red release latch (1) and pull the module out by its handle (2). Pull the module out completely.
