Air Flow
To ensure that internal heat build up is properly dissipated into the surrounding environment, the
Qubex enclosure should be positioned such that no air vents are blocked or obstructed in any
way. Failure to ensure this can lead to heat build up in the enclosure and damage to the
components.
Electrical Considerations
You must ensure that the required current does not exceed the rating of the power source. This
includes cabling, power distribution units, filters and any other devices through which the main
current flows. Surge currents must be catered for. Disk drives may consume twice the amount of
current at start-up time as they do during steady state operation.
Installing a Disk Drive
Warning: Disconnect the power supply inlets before opening the Qubex series
storage enclosure for maintenance.
Caution: Do not place or drop objects onto the enclosure and do not force any
foreign objects into it.
Caution: Allow disk drives and power supplies to reach ambient room
temperature before applying power to the enclosure.
To install a Disk Drive in the Qubex storage enclosure, follow the procedure below:
1. Orient the Disk Drive carrier so that the LED indicator is at the bottom.
2. With the locking lever fully open, gently slide the Disk Drive carrier into the desired slot
on the front of the enclosure.
3. When the Disk Drive carrier is in all the way, slowly close the locking lever until it
'clicks' into place.
Locating Components
The Qubex family uses external 180W power supplies which plug into the rear of the unit. The
following pictures show where the components are located within the enclosures.
