Pick a location that allows unrestricted air flow for the cooling fans.
■
Make sure that mounting the units into the rack will not tip over the rack, even
■
when the units are fully extended from the rack.
Install the components so that the rack is stable. Begin loading from the bottom of
■
the rack to the top.
Caution – Uneven loading of the rack can cause dangerous instability.
Make sure the rack cabinet has two power sources connected to two separate
■
power circuits.
Make sure the power outlets are close enough to the units for the power cords to
■
reach the cabinet properly and supply power to the units.
Make sure the power cables are properly grounded.

Grounding Procedure

You must maintain reliable grounding of this equipment. Review specifications in
Appendix A to determine the appropriate AC branch circuit size for the quantity of
units in your configuration and your operating voltage. Always follow your local
electrical codes for loading circuits.
Caution – The Sun StorageTek 5320 NAS Appliance, controller enclosure, and
expansion enclosures contain several components sensitive to static-electrical
discharge. Surges of static electricity (caused by shuffling your feet across a floor
and touching a metallic surface, for example) can cause damage to electrical
components. For this reason, it is important that proper packaging and grounding
techniques be observed. Follow the procedures below.
Transport products in static-safe containers.
■
Cover workstations with approved static-dissipating material.
■
Wear a wrist strap, and always be properly grounded when touching static-
■
sensitive equipment or parts.
Use only properly grounded tools and equipment.
■
Avoid touching pins, leads, or circuitry.
