Tamper Proof Statement Installing the Hardware Chapter 2 This chapter describes how to install the M-100.
Equipment Rack Installation Equipment Rack Installation The M-100 rack mount kit is ordered separately and can be used to mount the M-100 on a 2post or 4-post 19” rack. The following safety guidelines apply to rack installation: • Elevated ambient operating temperature—If the M-100 is installed in a closed or multiunit rack assembly, the ambient operating temperature of the rack environment may be greater than the ambient room temperature.
Equipment Rack Installation 1. Unpack the rail kit and then remove the inner rail from the outer rail and attached the inner rail to both sides of the M-100. To do this, place the inner rail over the mounting posts and then slide forward to lock in place. The mounting screw holes will be exposed at which time you can use the provided screws to secure the inner rail to the M-100 as shown in Figure 3. Figure 3.
Equipment Rack Installation 2. If this is a 4-post rack install, continue to Step 3. If this is a 2-post install, attached the 2post brackets to the outer rail as shown in Figure 4. Figure 4. Attaching the 2-post Bracket for 2-post Rack Installation Bracket for 2-post installation. Bracket for 2-post installation.
Equipment Rack Installation 3. Attach the outer rail to the rack. The 2-post install will use the two inner mounting brackets to attach to the rack and the 4-post install will use the two outer brackets. Both install methods are shown in Figure 5. Note: If you are using a non-threaded rack, install the threaded brackets behind each rack mount point as shown in Figure 5. Figure 5.
Equipment Rack Installation 4. Lift the M-100 in place and align the inner rail that is mounted on the M-100 with the outer rail that is now mounted on the rack and slide the M-100 into place. The illustration in Figure 6 shows the M-100 being installed in a 2-post and 4-post rack. Figure 6.
Connecting Cables to the Device 5. Tighten the thumb screws on the front of the M-100 to secure it to the rail as shown in Figure 7. It is recommended that you tighten the thumb screws with a Phillips head or flat-head screwdriver after tightening by hand. Figure 7. Tightening the Thumb Screws on the M-100. Connecting Cables to the Device Figure 8 shows the front M-100 cable connections.
Connecting Power Connecting Power To power the M-100, attach a power cable to the device and plug it into a grounded wall outlet. The device will power on automatically.
Cautions and Warnings Maintaining the Hardware Chapter 3 This chapter describes how to replace disk drives, interpret LEDs, and troubleshoot hardware problems. For more information, refer to the following topics: • “Cautions and Warnings” in the next section • “Disk Drive Replacement” on page 17 • “Interpreting the Port LEDs” on page 18 Cautions and Warnings CAUTION: Disconnect all power cords before servicing the M-100. WARNING: Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type.
Interpreting the Port LEDs 2. Slide the drive bay into the desired slot about half way, ensuring that the side rails are aligned. 3. Use the blue button to push the drive all the way into the slot. This will cause the lever to close part way. Push the lever all the way inward to lock the drive bay into place. Figure 9. Disk Drive Replacement Interpreting the Port LEDs Each Ethernet port on the M-100 has two LEDs. Table 3 describes the LEDs. Table 3.

General Safety Information Appendix A CAUTION Please Note the Following: 1. The M-100 should not be used in a home, school or other public area where the general population would have access to it. 2. The manufacturer specifies that the thumbscrew should be tightened with a screwdriver. Use of a thumbscrew is not to compromise the basic principles of safety.
• Avoid obstructing the air vents on the M-100 or pushing objects into the openings. This could lead to fire or electric shock. CAUTION To prevent hardware damage or loss of data, observe the following precautions: • Follow installation instructions carefully. • Do not attempt to service the equipment yourself. • You should operate this equipment from the type of external power source indicated on the electrical ratings label.
Other Regulatory Information • Reliable Grounding – Devices mounted in racks should be grounded properly. If using power strips to connect the M-100 to the supply circuit, make certain that the power strips are also grounded properly. • It is your responsibility to ensure that the rack and the provided rail system are compatible with each other before installing the M-100. • Install the front and side stabilizers on the rack prior to installing equipment.
