  • Page 21: Precautions When Installing Or Moving A Disk Array Unit

    Warning Always ground the disk array unit before connecting the power cord. Connecting all the power cords of disk array units to a single power distribution board will result in a large leak current flowing in the ground wires of the power cords, which may cause an electric shock. Always connect each power cord to a separate power distribution board.
  • Page 22 Caution Prohibited ・ When removing the power plug from the electrical outlet, always grasp the plug. Do not pull the power cord. Pulling the power cord may expose or disconnect the core wires and cause a fire or electric shock to occur. ・...
  • Page 23 ・ Use an appropriate method to fasten the rack to the floor. If an appropriate method cannot be found, attach a stabilizer. Someone might be injured if vibration caused the rack to tip over. ・ Connecting a UPS is recommended to prevent data loss due to a power failure. If a power failure occurs, operation of the disk drive may become unstable.
