Preface • The electrical distribution system must provide a reliable earth ground for each unit and the rack. • Each power supply in each unit has an earth leakage current of 1.5mA. The design of the electrical distribution system must take into consideration the total earth leakage current from all the power supplies in all the units. Cover Label ESD Precautions Caution It is recommended that you fit and check a suitable anti-static wrist or ankle strap and observe all conventional ESD prec

Preface • If the subsystem is used with modules or blanking plates missing for more than a few minutes, the enclosure can overheat, causing power failure and data loss. Such use may also invalidate the warranty. • If you remove any drive module, you may lose data. – If you remove a drive module, replace it immediately. If it is faulty, replace it with a drive module of the same type and capacity • Ensure that all disk drives are removed from the enclosure before attempting to move the rack

1.2.1 Power Supply and Fan Modules Each controller is equipped with two (2) power supply modules and one (1) fan module. The PSU (power supply unit) voltage operating ranges are nominally 110V to 230V AC, and are autoranging. The two Power Supply modules provide redundant power. If one module fails, the other will maintain the power supply and cooling while you replace the faulty module. The faulty module will still be providing proper air flow for the system so do not remove it until a ne
