NOTE: See the safety and regulatory information that shipped with each Storage Center

component. Warranty information is included within this document or as a separate document.

Installation Safety Precautions

Follow these safety precautions:

• Dell recommends that only individuals with rack-mounting experience install the SCv2000/SCv2020

in a rack.

• Make sure the storage system is always fully grounded to prevent damage from electrostatic

discharge.

• When handling the storage system hardware, use an electrostatic wrist guard (not included) or a

similar form of protection.

The chassis must be mounted in a rack. The following safety requirements must be considered when the

chassis is being mounted:

• The rack construction must be capable of supporting the total weight of the installed chassis. The

design should incorporate stabilizing features suitable to prevent the rack from tipping or being

pushed over during installation or in normal use.

• To avoid danger of the rack toppling over, slide only one chassis out of the rack at a time.

Electrical Safety Precautions

Always follow electrical safety precautions to avoid injury and damage to Storage Center equipment.

WARNING: Disconnect power from the storage system when removing or installing components

that are not hot-swappable. When disconnecting power, first power down the storage system

using the Dell Storage Client and then unplug the power cords from the power supplies in the

storage system and storage system.
