Galaxy RAID GHDX2-2430S-16U4D Installation and Hardware Reference Manual
15. Thermal notice: All drive trays (even if they do not contain a hard
drive) must be installed into the enclosure. Leaving a drive bay or
module slot open will greatly affect the airflow efficiency within the
enclosure, and consequently lead to system overheating. Keep a faulty
module in place until you have a replacement unit and are ready to
replace it.
16. An enclosure without disk drives can weigh up to 30 kilograms. (42
lbs.) Two people will be required to install or relocate the subsystem.
Drives should be removed from the enclosure before moving the
subsystem.
17. Airflow considerations: The subsystem requires an airflow clearance
especially at the front and the rear side of the chassis. For proper
ventilation, a minimum of 2.5cm (1 inch) is required between the front
of the enclosure and a rack cover; a minimum of 5cm (2 inches) is
required between the enclosure and the end of the cabinet.
18. Handle the system modules by the retention screws, eject levers, or the
module's metal frame/faceplate only. Avoid touching the PCB board
traces, chips, or connector pins.
19. Always secure every enclosure module with its retaining screws or
make sure it is held in place by its retention latches.
20. Be sure that the rack cabinet into which the subsystem chassis is to be
installed provides sufficient ventilation channels and airflow circulation
around the subsystem. Keep all drive
21. Provide a soft, clean surface to place your enclosure on before working
on it. Servicing the enclosure on a rough surface may damage the finish
of the chassis.
22. When working with the subsystem, it is important to use tools with
extreme care. Do not place tools or other items on top of the enclosure
to avoid damaging the outward appearance of the chassis.
23. If it is necessary to transport the subsystem, remove and repackage all
disk drives separately.

2.3.2 Static-free Installation

Static electricity can damage the system's electronic components. To
prevent ESD damage to any of the components, follow these precautions
before touching or handling them:
5-4
Discharge the static electricity accumulated in your body by
wearing an anti-static wristband.
Avoid carpets, plastic, vinyl, and Styrofoam in your work area.
