Handling Static-Sensitive Devices - IBM System Storage DCS3700 Installation, User's, And Maintenance Manual

Attention:
a. Because of the size and weight of the storage enclosure as shipped, a lift tool and two trained
service technicians are required to push the enclosure out of its custom-designed package and
onto the lift tool. If a lift tool is not available, see Appendix E, "Component weights," on page
157 for additional information.
b. Before you move or relocate a rack that contains DCS3700 storage enclosures, see "Relocating the
DCS3700" on page 65 for additional information.
Note: For more information about how to use a lift tool, see the documentation that came with the
lift tool.
2. Install the support rails in the rack. See "Installing the support rails" on page 30.
3. Install the DCS3700 storage enclosure in the rack. See "Installing the DCS3700 into a rack" on page
35.
4. Install disk drives in the DCS3700 storage enclosure. See "Installing the drives" on page 37.
5. If there are other DCS3700 storage enclosures to be installed in the same rack, repeat step 2 to step 4
for the other DCS3700 units.
6. Install the power supply cables to the DCS3700s. Make sure that the DCS3700 power supplies are
connected to 240V AC sources only. See "Cabling the power supply" on page 65.
7. Cable the DCS3700 Storage system to any storage expansion enclosures. See Chapter 3, "Cabling the
DCS3700," on page 41.
8. Install the DS Storage Manager host software to manage the DCS3700 Storage system. See "Software
and hardware compatibility and upgrades" on page 15 for the appropriate version. Refer to the IBM
System Storage DS Storage Manager Version 10 Installation and Host Support Guide for your operating
system for instructions on how to install the DS Storage Manager host software.
9. Turn on the DCS3700 (if you have not done so already). See "Powering on the DCS3700" on page 68.
10. Upgrade the controller firmware. See "Finding Storage Manager software, controller firmware, and
README files" on page xviii for more information.

Handling static-sensitive devices

Attention: Static electricity can damage electronic devices and your system. To avoid damage, keep
static-sensitive devices in their static-protective packages until you are ready to install them.
To reduce the possibility of electrostatic discharge, observe the following precautions:
v Limit your movement. Movement can cause static electricity to build up around you.
v Handle the device carefully, holding it by its edges or its frame.
v Do not touch solder joints, pins, or exposed printed circuitry.
v Do not leave the device where others can handle and possibly damage the device.
v While the device is still in its static-protective package, touch it to an unpainted metal part of the
system unit for at least two seconds. This drains static electricity from the package and from your
body.
v Remove the device from its package and install it directly into your system unit without setting it
down. If it is necessary to set the device down, place it in its static-protective package. Do not place the
device on your system unit cover or on a metal table.
v Take additional care when handling devices during cold weather because heating reduces indoor
humidity and increases static electricity.
