Safety Precautions

Read these instructions carefully before you install, operate, or transport the EonStor
DS storage system and expansion enclosures.

Installation and Operation


Install the rack cabinet and the associated equipment at a site where the ambient
temperature (special room cooling equipment may be required) stays lower than:
a. 35C ~ if your system have a BBU (all dual controller systems come with
BBU by default)
b. 40C ~ if your system does not have a BBU

Install the power source socket outlet near the enclosure where it is easily
accessible and ground the rack cabinet.

Secure airflow clearance inside and around the rack cabinet.
- Secure an 18 to 20cm clearance on the rear side.
- Do not cover the enclosure openings.
- Route the cables inside the rack cabinet.
- Do not leave drive bays empty as it will affect airflow efficiency.

Secure each enclosure module using its retaining screws.

Place power cords and other cables away from foot traffic. Do not place items on
top of power cords and make sure they do not rest against data cables.

Install all modules to the enclosure before powering-on systems.

Ensure that the correct power range is being used before powering-on.

DO NOT remove covers or replaceable modules if they are not faulty.

If the system is not going to be used for a long period of time, disconnect it from the
power mains to avoid transient over-voltage.

For power source redundancy, please make sure that the two PSUs are plugged
into two different power sources (ie. different circuit breakers).
