Mounting VessJBOD in a Rack
The VessJBOD subsystem installs to the rack using the available mounting rails.
You can also use your existing rails.
Cautions
•
At least two persons are required to safely lift, place, and
attach the VessJBOD unit into a rack system.
•
Do not lift or move the VessJBOD unit by the handles, power
supplies or the controller units. Hold the subsystem itself.
•
Do not install the VessJBOD unit into a rack without rails to
support the subsystem.
•
Only a qualified technician who is familiar with the installation
procedure should mount and install the VessJBOD unit.
•
Be sure all switches are OFF before installing the VessJBOD
unit or exchanging components.
•
Mount the rails to the rack using the appropriate screws and
flange nuts, fully tightened, at each end of the rail.
•
Do not load the rails unless they are installed with screws as
instructed.
•
The rails available for the PROMISE VessJBOD unit are
designed to safely support that PROMISE VessJBOD unit
when properly installed. Additional loading on the rails is at
the customer’s risk.
•
PROMISE Technology, Inc. cannot guarantee that the
mounting rails will support your PROMISE VessJBOD unit
unless you install them as instructed.
Note
To lighten the VessJBOD enclosure, remove the power supplies.
Replace the power supplies after the VessJBOD unit is mounted in
your rack.
