System Installation
WARNING: A shock hazard exists at the backplane when the controller enclosure
bays or cache module bays are empty.
Be sure the enclosures are empty, then mount the enclosures into the rack. DO NOT
use the disk enclosure handles to lift the enclosure. The handles cannot support the
weight of the enclosure. Only use these handles to position the enclosure in the
mounting brackets.
Use two people to lift, align, and install any enclosure into a rack. Failure to use two
people might cause personal injury and/or equipment damage.
