Section 1 Intro and Overview
Safety Precautions
Precautions and Instructions
•
Prior to powering on the subsystem, ensure that the correct power range is being used.
•
The GalaxyNASLX22 RAID subsystem may come with up to twenty four (24) drive bays.
Leaving any of these drive bays empty will greatly affect the efficiency of the airflow within
the enclosure, and will consequently lead to the system overheating, which can cause
irreparable damage.
•
If a module fails, leave it in place until you have a replacement unit and you are ready to
replace it.
•
Airflow Consideration: The subsystem requires an airflow clearance, especially at the front
and rear.
•
Handle subsystem modules using the retention screws, extraction levers, and the metal
frames/faceplates. Avoid touching PCB boards and connector pins.
•
To comply with safety, emission, or thermal requirements, none of the covers or
replaceable modules should be removed. Make sure that during operation, all enclosure
modules and covers are securely in place.
•
Be sure that the rack cabinet into which the subsystem chassis will be installed provides
sufficient ventilation channels and airflow circulation around the subsystem.
•
Provide a soft, clean surface to place your subsystem on before working on it. Servicing
on a rough surface may damage the exterior of the chassis.
•
If it is necessary to transport the subsystem, repackage all disk drives separately. If using
the original package material, other replaceable modules can stay within the enclosure.
•
Dual redundant controller models come with two controller modules that must be installed
into the subsystem. Single controller models come with a single controller module and a
metal sheet is placed over the lower controller bay at the rear of the subsystem. Since
single controller models cannot be upgraded, this metal sheet should NEVER be removed.
ESD Precautions
Observe all conventional anti-ESD methods while handling system modules. The
use of a grounded wrist strap and an anti-static work pad is recommended. Avoid
dust and debris or other static-accumulative materials in your work area.
