Important safety information
CAUTION: Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) can
damage the electronic components. Ensure that
you are properly grounded (earthed) before
beginning any installation procedure.
Installation Guidelines
This installation must be performed by qualified
individuals having knowledge of the procedures,
precautions, and equipment hazards that contains
hazardous electrical circuits.
WARNING:
• The rail kits, when installed, form only a shelf
for the HPE Storage File Controller to rest on.
The HPE Storage File Controller is not attached
to the rail by any other means. Use extreme
caution when pulling the Storage File Controller
out from the rack. The storage system can slip
and fall, which may cause damage or injury to
the HPE Storage File Controller. HPE is not
responsible for any damage or injury caused by
mishandling of HPE Storage File Controller.
Installation
1. Install the rail kits.
For detailed instructions on installing the HPE rack
rails into square and round hole racks for an HPE 1U
Storage system, refer to the HPE Rack Rail Kit
installation instructions document, that is part of the
shipped rail kit.
2. Slide the HPE Storage File Controller into the position
on the rails as shown in Figure 1.
• Ensure that the rack is leveled and stable
before working on the rack. The leveling jacks
(feet) must extend to the floor and the full
weight of the rack must rest firmly on the floor.
• Ensure that the rack has anti-tip measures such
as, floor-bolting, anti-tip feet, ballast, or a
combination of the measures, as specified by
the rack manufacturer and applicable codes in
place.
• Ensure that sufficient personnel are available to
support one or more products during the
installation process. HPE recommends you to
use an appropriate lifting device as an
installation aid.
• Ensure that the rack is loaded from bottom to
top, with the heaviest appliances at the bottom
to make the rack steady.
• Avoid overloading the branch circuit that
provides power to the rack. The total rack load
