Step 4: Mount the Disk System Caution Do not try to lift the disk system using the handles on the power supplies. WARNING Do not attempt to lift the disk system without the help of another person or a lift device. Even without power supplies, it weighs 50 pounds.
Page 57
Caution To protect the door, do not lift or move the disk system with the door open.
Step 8: Install Disks and Fillers Caution Touching exposed areas on the disk can cause electrical discharge and disable the disk. Be sure you are grounded and be careful not to touch exposed circuits. Caution Disks are fragile. Handle carefully and do NOT touch the exposed circuit board.
Page 67
Caution Every slot must contain either a disk or filler.
Step 9: Turn on the Disk System Caution When starting up the disk system, do not override automatic spin-up by issuing SCSI start commands to the drives. Doing so could cause an overcurrent fault mode, requiring a power cycle to recover. Note...

Caution To prevent damage from static electricity, follow standard ESD procedures and avoid touching exposed circuitry. Do not remove a disk or filler from an operating product until you have the replacement part and are ready to install it. An empty slot will cause uneven cooling and eventual overheating.
Page 114
Caution Spinning disks generate heat and gyratory force. Wait for a spinning disk to slow down and cool off before completely removing it from the disk system.
Page 115
WARNING High current available. Avoid touching the backplane or adjacent drive electronics when removing and inserting disks. Caution If the disk will be reused, place it on a static mat or other ESD-protected surface. Caution Follow standard ESD procedures and avoid touching exposed circuitry.
Page 120
Caution Touching the LCC pins can cause high energy discharge and permanently damage the LCC. Caution Do not remove an LCC from an operating product until you have the replacement LCC and are ready to install it. An empty slot will cause uneven cooling and eventual overheating.
Page 122
Caution Touching the LCC pins can cause high energy discharge and permanently damage the LCC. Caution If the Enclosure IDs on peer LCCs are different and the master LCC fails or is taken off the loop, the second LCC will assign different addresses to the disks.
Page 124
Caution Do not remove a fan from an operating product until you have the replacement fan and are ready to install it. An empty slot will cause uneven cooling and eventual overheating.
Power Supply Caution Do not remove a power supply from an operating product until you have the replacement and are ready to install it. An empty slot will cause uneven cooling and eventual overheating.
Page 129
Note WARNING Product is heavy (~80 lbs. without disks). If you need to remove the disk system from the rack, use two people or a lift device.

Door Caution Turning off a disk system terminates the Fibre Channel loop at that node, isolating the disks in the immediate disk system and in any other disk systems that are linked to its expansion port.
Top Cover (HP-Qualified Only) Caution Turning off a disk system terminates the Fibre Channel loop at that node, isolating the disks not only in the immediate disk systemt but also in any disk system linked to its expansion port. Caution Removing the top cover with the power button in the ON position can damage the internal switch.
Page 134
Caution Disk slots must be empty before removing the top cover.
