TITAN SILICONSERVER HARDWARE MANUAL 5
Safety Information
Electrostatic Discharge Precautions
To ensure proper handling of the server components and to prevent hardware faults caused by
electrostatic discharge, follow all safety precautions:
• Wear an anti-static wrist or ankle strap.
• Observe all standard electrostatic discharge precautions when handling plug-in modules or
components that have been removed from any anti-static packaging.
• Avoid contact with backplane components and module connectors.
Safety and Handling Precautions
To ensure safe handling and correct operation of the equipment, follow all the safety precautions and
instructions:
• Observe safe lifting practices. Each Titan SiliconServer or each storage array can weigh 66 lbs.
(30 kg) or more. It is important that at least two people are required to handle and position
them.
• A Storage Cabinet must be loaded correctly to prevent any serious injuries.
1. Place the Fibre Channel switches in the center of the storage cabinet. The recommended
rack unit positions are 23 and 24. The positions can be adjusted according to a specific
storage cabinet configuration.
2. Load and position the Titan SiliconServer(s) directly above the Fibre Channel switches.
3. The System Management Unit (SMU) should be placed directly below the Fibre Channel
switches.
4. The first FC-14, FC-16, SA-14, or AT-14 enclosure should be positioned directly below the
SMU. Then continue to fill enclosures towards the bottom of the system cabinet.
5. With an AT-42 enclosure, it must be placed at the bottom of the storage cabinet. A
maximum of five AT-42s can be fit on the bottom of the system cabinet if it is filled from the
bottom up. For stability and accessibility reasons, an AT-42 must not be placed on the top-
half (21U) of the storage cabinet.
6. Once the bottom half of the storage cabinet has been filled, the top half of the storage
cabinet can be filled. Begin by placing a storage component directly above the Titan
SiliconServer and fill upwards.
Note: All expansion cabinets including all storage enclosures, must be filled from the
bottom to the top.
7. To access the disks in an AT-42 enclosure, slide the unit forward on its rails.
WARNING: There is a risk that the cabinet could fall over suddenly. To prevent this from
occurring:
• Do not remove the AT-42 past the line on the top of the unit.
• Do not remove more than one unit at a time.
• BlueArc recommends that the stabilizer plate be secured to the front of the system cabinet.
