  • Page 7 CAUTION!  When installing a device, ensure that the device and the mark line on the square hole strip on the cabinet are properly aligned in 1U. Otherwise, you are not allowed to install the rack-mounting ear screws. Figure 2-1 Correct installation ...

  • Page 8: Connect Cables And Perform Verification

    WARNING!  If the rack-mounting ear screws are forcibly installed without the aligning procedure, a gap exists between the device and the tray and the device is hanging over the square hole strip. Consequently, the device is unstable, thereby affecting stability of the hard disks. If the hard disks are running for a long time in such situation, many problems, such as a high read-and-write error rate and a high damage rate, will arise.
