Falcon II SCSI-SATA Installation and Hardware Reference Manual
5. Cabling: The FALCON II comes with an external VHDCI to VHDCI
SCSI round cable to connect the subsystem to a host computer. All
other SCSI cables used to connect to a second host computer or external
devices must be purchased separately. Please see Chapter 4 for sample
topologies and configuration options.
6. Memory module: If you wish to change the pre-installed memory
module, a separately purchased module must be installed. (See Section
5.3)
7. BBU: If you wish to use a BBU on the controller, the module must be
purchased separately. For installation instructions, please see Section
2.7.
8. Rack installation: The enclosure chassis can be installed into rack
cabinet using separately purchased mounting rails, rear-attached
brackets, or RAID’s slide rails. (See Section 2.10)
2.3 Safety Precautions
2.3.1 Precautions and Instructions
1. Be sure the correct power range (100-120 or 200-230VAC) is supplied
by your rack cabinet or power outlet.
2. 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 will consequently lead to system overheating. Keep a
faulty module in place until you have a replacement unit and you are
ready to replace it.
3. An enclosure without disk drives can weigh over 24 kilograms. Two
(2) people are required to install or relocate the subsystem. Drives
should be removed from the enclosure before moving the subsystem.
4. Airflow considerations: The subsystem requires an airflow clearance
especially on the front and rear. For proper ventilation, a minimum of
2.5cm is required between the front of the enclosure and rack cover; a
minimum of 5cm is required between the enclosure and end of the rack.
5. Handle the system modules by the retention screws, eject levers, or the
module’s metal frame/face plate only. Avoid touching the PCB boards
and connector pins.
6. None of the covers or replaceable modules should be removed in order
to maintain compliance with safety, emission, or thermal requirements.
