If equipment described in the document is used in a manner not specified by Dell, the protection
provided by the equipment may be impaired. For your safety and protection, observe the rules described
in the following sections.
NOTE: See the safety and regulatory information that shipped with each Storage Center

document.

Installation Safety Precautions

Follow these safety precautions:
• Dell recommends that only individuals with rack-mounting experience install an SC100/SC120
expansion enclosure in a rack.
• Make sure the expansion enclosure is fully grounded at all times to prevent damage from electrostatic
discharge.
• When handling the expansion enclosure hardware, you should use an electrostatic wrist guard (not
included) or a similar form of protection.
The expansion enclosure chassis MUST be mounted in a rack; the following safety requirements must be
considered when doing so:
• The rack construction must be capable of supporting the total weight of the installed chassis and the
design should incorporate stabilizing features suitable to prevent the rack tipping or being pushed
over during installation or in normal use.
• To avoid danger of the rack toppling over, do not slide more than one chassis out of the rack at a
time.
• The rack design should take into consideration the maximum operating ambient temperature for the
unit, which is 40°C.
