Safety Precautions
Precautions and Instructions
• Prior to powering on the subsystem, ensure that the correct power range is being used.
• The Galaxy FC<>SATA subsystems come with eight (8) or twelve (12) 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/face plates. 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.
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 are recommended. Avoid dust and
debris in your work area.
