SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Before getting started, please read the following important cautions:
All cautions and warnings on the equipment or in the manuals should be noted.
Most electronic components are sensitive to electrical static discharge, therefore, be sure to ground
yourself at all times when installing the internal components.
Use a grounding wrist strap and place all electronic components in static-shielded devices. Grounding
wrist straps can be purchased in any electronic supply store.
Be sure to turn off the power and then disconnect the power cords from your system before performing
any installation or servicing. A sudden surge of power could damage sensitive electronic components.
Do not open the system’s top cover. If opening the cover for maintenance is a must, only a trained
technician should do so. Integrated circuits on computer boards are sensitive to static electricity. Before
handling a board or integrated circuit, touch an unpainted portion of the system unit chassis for a few
seconds. This will help to discharge any static electricity on your body.
Place this equipment on a reliable surface when install. A drop or fall could cause injury.
Please keep this equipment from away humidity.
Carefully mount the equipment into the rack, in such manner, that it won’t be hazardous due to uneven
mechanical loading.
Do not leave this equipment in an environment unconditioned, out of operation or storage temperature
range may damage the equipment.
This equipment is to be installed for operation in an environment with maximum ambient temperature
below 35°C.
The openings on the enclosure are for air convection to protect the equipment from overheating. DO
NOT COVER THE OPENINGS.
Never pour any liquid into ventilation openings. This could cause fire or electrical shock.
Make sure the voltage of the power source is within the specification on the label when connecting the
equipment to the power outlet. The current load and output power of loads shall be within the
specification.
This equipment must be connected to reliable grounding before using. Pay special attention to power
supplied other than direct connections, e.g. using of power strips.
Place the power cord out of the way of foot traffic. Do not place anything over the power cord. The
power cord must be rated for the product, voltage and current marked on the product’s electrical ratings
label. The voltage and current rating of the cord should be greater than the voltage and current rating
marked on the product.
If the equipment is not used for a long time, disconnect the equipment from mains to avoid being
damaged by transient over-voltage.
Never open the equipment. For safety reasons, only qualified service personnel should open the
equipment.
If one of the following situations arise, the equipment should be checked by service personnel:
¾ The power cord or plug is damaged.
¾ Liquid has penetrated the equipment.
¾ The equipment has been exposed to moisture.
¾ The equipment does not work well or will not work according to its user manual.
¾ The equipment has been dropped and/or damaged.
¾ The equipment has obvious signs of breakage.
¾
Please disconnect this equipment from the AC outlet before cleaning. Do not use liquid or detergent
for cleaning. The use of a moisture sheet or cloth is recommended for cleaning.
Product features and specifications are subject to change without notice.

2.3. Removing a drive tray and installing a hard drive
This section describes the procedure to remove a drive carrier, install a hard drive, and replace
the carriers in the enclosure.
Please note: Use proper ESD protective measures when handling disk drives.
Figure 2.1: Opening 1U 10-Bay RBOD Drive Tray
2.3.1. Removing a Disk Drive
1) Release the handle mechanism by gently but firmly press release latch 1. Handle lever 2
should pop out slightly indicating the locking mechanism has been released.
2) Rotate handle 2 outward to disengage the drive carrier. The handle acts as a cam to
disengage the carrier from the backplane. If a drive(s) is present and the system is
powered on, retract the carrier a few inches to disconnect from the backplane. Allow a
minute for the drive(s) to spin down prior to removal from the system.
3) Fully retract and remove the carrier from the enclosure.
4) If a drive(s) is present the needs to be replaced, remove it by unscrewing the mounting
screws, sliding the drive toward the front of the tray to disengage it from the interposer
board, and gently lifting the drive out of the carrier.
2.3.2. Installing a Disk Drive
1) Unpack and remove any packing materials and interface covers from the replacement

2.4. Removing and Installing an IO Module
This section describes removing and installing a FC/SAS IO Module.
Warning: Electro-Static Discharge, ESD, can damage the hard drive and other electronic
elements of the system without exhibiting physical signs of damage. Proper grounding and
protective steps should be employed when handling any ESD sensitive materials or devices.
Failure to follow proper ESD protective procedures may result in equipment damage or failure.
Warning: Handle hard drives with extreme care. Dropping the hard drive or touching the
components on the circuit board may damage the hard drive without exhibiting physical signs
of damage. Use only the mounting screws supplied with the system. Using larger screws may
damage the drive.
Warning: All drive trays must be installed regardless of whether they contain drives prior to
system operation. Drive trays in each of the drive tray slots insure proper air flow for cooling
the system. Prolonged operation with empty slots may result in overheating and resultant
damage to drives or system components.

; All external cables are properly connected and secured.
; Power cables are installed.
; Power from a suitable power source
; The system should have been in place long enough to adjust to ambient temperature.
3.1.1. Powering On the System
After the 1U10 is mounted in the rack, drive trays inserted, and external connections completed,
the system may be powered on using the following steps.
1) If you have not already done so, using the power cords supplied connect the PSU
modules to the power source. If the power is on, LED indicators on the Expanders will
flash indicating power is present and the System is in standby mode.
2) Power on any network switches in the configuration.
3) Turn on the power switch on the rear panel to power up the system. The fans should
come on immediately afterwards and the drives will begin to spin up and initialize.
4) Allow a few minutes for drive initialization to complete prior to powering on Host
System or Storage Appliances or Controllers.
5) After completing system configuration proceed to power on external hosts or Storage
Appliances and Controllers. It is recommended hosts be powered on last unless the
system is being installed into a live/hot environment.
3.1.2. Power On Status
Once the system has been powered on, the Display can be checked to verify proper operation.
System monitoring and status information is collected via the internal I
2
C bus and is made
available via external controllers and management tools via SES.
Drive LED status will be steady Blue indicating power on idle state or intermittent Blue
indicating Drive activity.
Expander LEDs will be flashing intermittent to indicate activity
3.1.3. Power Off the System
1) Flush and unmount all the volumes, and/or power off all the servers accessing volumes
on the system to be powered down, prior to powering down the unit.
2) Press the On/Off button on the rear panel.
3) Allow a few minutes for the drives to spin down.
Warning: The system has 2 hot swap auto-ranging power supplies. These should be
connected to suitable grounded 100-120V or 210-240V AC power sources. It is recommended
separate power sources or rails be used for maximum redundancy and reliability.
Warning: The system requires adequate open space front and rear to allow for proper cooling.
