Figure 1: Unpacking the Storage System

Warning: Do not remove the covers from the Power Supplies. Danger of electric shock inside. Return them to your supplier for replacement.

Warning: There is a danger of explosion if the RAID Controller battery is disposed of improperly. Dispose of used batteries in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions and national regulations.

Warning: Ensure that you have installed and checked a suitable anti-static wrist or ankle strap and observe all conventional ESD precautions when handling modules and components. Avoid contact with backplane components and module connectors, etc. ESD damage is not covered by warranty.

Caution:Ifthisequipmentisusedinamannernotspecifiedbythemanufacturer,theprotectionprovidedbytheequipmentmaybeimpaired.

Important: Class 1 Laser Product.TheopticalSFPtransceivermodulesmustbeaUL(orotherNorthAmericanNRTL)RECOGNIZEDCOMPONENT,andmustbeapprovedbyTUV(orotherEuropeanProductSafetytesthouse)andthelaserinthemodulemustcomplywithLaserClass1,US21CFR(J)andEN60825-1.Ifopticalmodulesaretobeprovidedandinstalledbytheenduser,theymustalsocomplywiththestandardslistedabove.

Important: The optical modules provided and installed by the end user must be a UL (or other North America NRTL) RECOGNIZED COMPONENT and must be approved by TUV (or other European product safety test house), and the laser in the module must comply with Laser Class 1, US 21 CFR (J) and EN 60825-1).
