Important Observe all applicable safety precautions, e.g. weight restrictions, handling batteries and lasers
etc., detailed in the preceding paragraphs when dismantling and disposing of this equipment
Data Security
• Power down your host computer and all attached peripheral devices before beginning installation.
• Each enclosure contains up to 12 removable disk drive modules. Disk units are fragile. Handle them
with care, and keep them away from strong magnetic fields.
• All the supplied plug-in modules, dummy carriers and blank modules must be in place for the air to
flow correctly around the enclosure and also to complete the internal circuitry.
• If the subsystem is used with plug-in modules, dummy carriers or blank modules missing for more
than a few minutes, the enclosure can overheat, causing power failure and data loss. Such use may
also invalidate the warranty.
• If you remove any drive module, you may lose data.
– If you remove a drive module, replace it immediately. If it is faulty, replace it with a drive module
of the same type and capacity
• Ensure that all disk drives are removed from the enclosure before attempting to manhandle or move
the rack installation.
• Do not abandon your backup routines. No system is completely infallible.
Special Tools and Equipment
There are no special tools required but in order to complete the assembly of some configurations you may
need the following:
• Security keys (one of these should be included with your FC60SS enclosure for use with the drive
locks).
