Statement 37
DANGER
When you populate a rack cabinet, adhere to the following guidelines:
• Always lower the leveling pads on the rack cabinet.
• Always install the stabilizer brackets on the rack cabinet.
• Always install the heaviest devices in the bottom of the rack cabinet.
• Do not extend multiple devices from the rack cabinet simultaneously, unless the rack-mounting
instructions direct you to do so. Multiple devices extended into the service position can cause
your rack cabinet to tip.
• If you are not using the IBM 9308 rack cabinet, securely anchor the rack cabinet to ensure its
stability.

• “Rack System Safety Precautions” on page 4
Safe Handling
CAUTION:
Use this equipment in a manner specified by the manufacturer: failure to do this may cancel the
protection provided by the equipment.
• Permanently unplug the enclosure before you move it or if you think that it has become damaged in
any way.
• A safe lifting height is 20U.
• Always remove the Power Cooling Modules (PCMs) to minimize weight before you move the
enclosure.
• Do not lift the enclosure by the handles on the PCMs – they are not designed to take the weight.
• For 5U enclosures, it is recommended that a minimum of three people lift the enclosure using the
lifting straps supplied with the enclosure. Remove all DDIC modules from both drawers and make
sure the drawers are closed firmly and locked shut.
Fully configured 2U12 enclosures can weigh up to 28 kg (62 lb).
Fully configured 2U24 enclosures can weigh up to 25 kg (55 lb).
Do not try to lift the enclosure by yourself.
Operation
Important: Operation of the enclosure with ANY drive carrier modules missing disrupts the airflow and the
drives could not receive sufficient cooling. It is ESSENTIAL that all apertures hold drives before the enclosure
system is used. Empty drive bays must hold dummy drive carrier modules.
• Replace a defective PCM with a fully operational PCM within 24 hours. Refer to “Environment” on page
113. Do not remove a defective PCM unless you have a replacement model of the correct type ready for
insertion.
• Before removal/replacement of a PCM disconnect supply power from the PCM to be replaced. Refer to
“Replacing a Cooling Module” on page 89
Figure 2. PCM Warning Label
5U Enclosures Only
CAUTION:
To prevent overturning, drawer interlocks stop users from opening both drawers at the same time. Do
not attempt to force open a drawer when the other drawer in the enclosure is already open. In a rack
containing more than one enclosure, do not open more than one drawer per rack at a time.
Important: All rear modules are part of the fire enclosure and must only be removed when a replacement
can be immediately inserted.
Important: The enclosure could not receive sufficient airflow or cooling if it is operated with any of the rear
modules missing. It is essential that every module bay is filled either with a module or a blank module.
Figure 3. Module Bay Caution Label (2)
Replace any defective module with a fully operational unit as soon as possible. Do not remove cooling
modules, PSUs, or ESMs unless you have a replacement model of the correct type ready for insertion.
CAUTION:
To prevent overturning, drawer interlocks stop users from opening both drawers at the same time. Do
not attempt to force open a drawer when the other drawer in the enclosure is already open. In a rack
containing more than one enclosure, do not open more than one drawer per rack at a time.
CAUTION:

Lenovo Storage D1212/D1224/D3284Hardware Installation and Maintenance Guide
Operating temperatures inside the enclosure drawers can reach up to 60°C. Take care when opening
drawers and removing drive carriers.
Figure 4. Hot Surface Warning Label
CAUTION:
Due to product acoustics, it is recommended that users wear ear protection for any prolonged
exposure.

Figure 6. Drawer Caution Label
Electrical Safety
• The enclosure must only be operated from a power supply input voltage range of 200 VAC to 240 VAC, 50
Hz to 60 Hz.
• Provide a suitable power source with electrical overload protection to meet the requirements in the
technical specification.
• The power supply cord must have a safe electrical earth connection. Check the connection to earth of the
enclosure before you switch on the power supply.
Important: The enclosure must be grounded before applying power.
• The plug on the power supply cord is used as the main disconnect device. Ensure that the socket outlets
are located near the equipment and are easily accessible.
Chapter 1. Safety Guidelines3
Do not remove covers from the PCM, PSU, or cooling modules– there is a danger of electric shock inside.
Return the PCM, PSU, or cooling modules to your supplier for repair.
Important: The RJ45 socket on the ESM is for Ethernet connection only and must not be connected to a
telecommunications network.
2U Enclosures Only
2U enclosures are intended to operate with two PCMs.
Figure 7. Power Cooling Module Warning Label
When bifurcated power cords ("Y" leads) are used, these cords must only be connected to a supply range of
200-240 VAC.
5U Enclosures Only
5U enclosures are intended to operate with two PSUs and five cooling modules.
When powered by multiple AC sources, disconnect all supply power for complete isolation.
Do not remove covers from the enclosure or any of the modules – there is a danger of electric shock inside.
Do not attempt to disassemble the rear sub-chassis from the enclosure. Return any damaged components to
your supplier for repair.
CAUTION:
The PSUs contain double pole/neutral fusing. Ensure that your electrical installation can support this.
Rack System Safety Precautions
The following safety requirements must be considered when the enclosure is mounted in a rack:
• The rack construction must be capable of supporting the total weight of the installed enclosures. The
design should incorporate stabilizing features suitable to prevent the rack from tipping or being pushed
over during installation or in normal use.
• When loading a rack with enclosures, fill the rack from the bottom up and empty from the top down.
• Do not try to lift the enclosure by yourself.
To avoid danger of the rack falling over, under no circumstances should more than one enclosure be
moved out of the cabinet at any one time.
• The system must be operated with low-pressure rear exhaust installation. (Back pressure created by rack
doors and obstacles not to exceed 5 pascals [0.5 mm water gauge]).
• The rack design should consider the maximum operating ambient temperature for the enclosure, which is
40°C for 2U enclosures and 5U enclosures.
• The rack should have a safe electrical distribution system. It must provide overcurrent protection for the
enclosure and must not be overloaded by the total number of enclosures installed in the rack. When
addressing these concerns consideration should be given to the electrical power consumption rating
shown on the nameplate.
4
Lenovo Storage D1212/D1224/D3284Hardware Installation and Maintenance Guide
• The electrical distribution system must provide a reliable earth connection for each enclosure and the
rack.
• The rack, when configured with the enclosures, must meet the safety requirements of UL 60950-1 and IEC
60950-1.
2U Enclosures Only
Always remove all PCMs to minimize weight, before loading the enclosure into a rack.
Each PCM in each enclosure has an earth leakage current of 1.0 mA. The design of the electrical distribution
system must consider the total earth leakage current from all the PCMs in all the enclosures. The rack
requires labeling with “HIGH LEAKAGE CURRENT. Earth connection essential before connecting supply”.
5U Enclosures Only
The enclosure must only be mounted into a rack using the supplied rail kit. Due to its weight and length, the
enclosure must not be flange mounted.
Before mounting the enclosure, remove all DDIC modules from both drawers and make sure that the drawers
are closed firmly and locked shut. Do not try to lift the enclosure by yourself (see “Safe Handling” on page 1).
The minimum open area for the rack doors is 70%.
Each PSU in each enclosure has a ground leakage current of 1.6 mA. The design of the electrical distribution
system must consider the total ground leakage current from all the PSUs in all the enclosures. The rack must
be labeled with the words: "HIGH LEAKAGE CURRENT. Ground connection essential before connecting
supply."
