Rack System Safety Precautions - Seagate RealStor 5005 Series Hardware Installation

IMPORTANT: The enclosure must be grounded before applying power.
• The plug on the power supply cord is used as the main disconnect device. Ensure that the socket outlets are located
near the equipment and are easily accessible.
• 2U enclosures are intended to operate with two PCMs.
• Observe the power-supply disconnection caution label affixed to power cooling modules.
CAUTION: Do not remove covers from the PCM – there is a danger of electric shock inside. Return the PCM to your
supplier for repair.
• When bifurcated power cords (Y-leads) are used, these cords must only be connected to a supply range of 200–240 VAC.
IMPORTANT: The RJ-45 socket on IOMs is for the Ethernet connection only and must not be connected to a
telecommunications network.
• 5005/4005 Series storage enclosures are suitable for connection to intra-building or non-exposed wiring or cabling
only.
• 5005/4005 Series storage enclosures are suitable for installation in locations where NEC applies. These enclosures
are not suitable for Outside Plant (OSP) installations.

Rack system safety precautions

The following safety requirements must be considered when the enclosure is mounted in a rack.
• The rack construction must be capable of supporting the total weight of the installed enclosures. The design should
incorporate stabilizing features suitable to prevent the rack from tipping or being pushed over during installation or
in normal use.
• When loading a rack with enclosures, fill the rack from the bottom up; and empty the rack from the top down.
• Always remove all PCMs to minimize weight, before loading the enclosure into the rack.
• Do not try to lift the enclosure by yourself.
CAUTION: To avoid danger of the rack falling over, under no circumstances should more than one enclosure be moved
out of the cabinet at any one time.
• The system must be operated with low pressure rear exhaust installation. The back pressure created by rack doors
and obstacles is not to exceed 5 pascals (0.5 mm water gauge).
• The rack design should take into consideration the maximum operating ambient temperature for the enclosure,
which is 35ºC (95ºF) for RBODs and 40ºC (104ºF) for EBODs.
• The rack should have a safe electrical distribution system. It must provide over-current protection for the enclosure
and must not be overloaded by the total number of enclosures installed in the rack. When addressing these concerns,
consideration should be given to the electrical power consumption rating shown on the nameplate.
• The electrical distribution system must provide a reliable earth connection for each enclosure in the rack.
• Each PCM in each enclosure has an earth leakage current of 1.0mA. The design of the electrical distribution system
must take into consideration the total earth leakage current from all the PCMs in all the enclosures. The rack will
require labeling with "High Leakage Current. Earth connection essential before connecting supply."
• The rack—when configured with the enclosures—must meet the safety requirements of UL 60950-1 and IEC
60950-1.
