Appropriate Use
Appropriate Use
The R&S system may only be used according to its intended function. Any
other use or extension of this function is considered inappropriate. Inappropriate use may lead to situations resulting in personal injury or property
damage.
General
SpycerNode SC has been built according to the applying safety regulations.
Inappropriate use
If the R&S system is not used in compliance with the safety instructions,
the warranty and all resulting liability claims will be void.
Carefully read the following safety instructions before attempting any
installation and/or performing any work on the system hardware
SpycerNode SC
To correctly use the R&S system heed the following:
● To minimize the possibility of a faulty operation of the device you must
have access at all times to all manuals and guides at the operation site.
Before installing and/or using the R&S system it is strongly recommended to read the manuals and follow the instructions.
● The hardware of the R&S system works with voltages that can be
hazardous to your health. Never work on the system or access its interior
with the power cable(s) being plugged in. Make sure the power supply is
disconnected from the components you intend to work on.
● Computer hardware contains components that are sensitive to electro-
static discharge. If you touch them without precautionary measures, they
can be destroyed. Use a wrist strap connected to ground when
accessing electronic parts and take care of grounding the system. Avoid
touching the internal components of the R&S system whenever possible.
● Computer hardware contains components that are sensitive to changing
voltages. Connecting or disconnecting the R&S system to or from peripheral hardware while any of them is switched on may damage the hardware. Switch off all peripheral hardware before connecting or
disconnecting anything.
● Use, store and transport the R&S system only in compliance with the
technical data laid out in chapter "Appendix" on page 115.
● If fluids or solid objects get inside the casing, the R&S system must be
disconnected from the power supply immediately. Before using the
system again, it has to be checked by authorized service personnel.
● Only use a damp tissue without any cleaning agents to clean the casing.
● The R&S system must not be misused, abused, physically damaged,
neglected, exposed to fire, water or excessive changes in the climate or
temperature, or operated outside maximum rating.

Lithium Cells or Batteries
The product contains lithium polymer or lithium ion cells or batteries. The use
of the word battery in the following always means all types. Only the battery
contents are potentially hazardous. As long as a battery is undamaged and
the seals remain intact, there is no danger.
Impact, shock or heat can cause damage such as dents, punctures and
other deformations. A damaged battery poses a risk of personal injury.
Handle a damaged or leaking battery with extreme care. Immediately ventilate the area since the battery releases harmful gases. If you come into
contact with the battery fluid, immediately remove all contaminated clothing.
Irritation can occur if the battery fluid comes in contact with your skin or
eyes. Immediately and thoroughly rinse your skin or eyes with water and
seek medical aid.
For safe handling, follow these rules:
● Do not short-circuit the battery.
● Do not mechanically damage the battery. Do not open or disassemble
the battery.
● Do not expose the battery to high temperatures such as open flames, hot
surfaces and sunlight.
● Only use the battery with the designated product.
● Only use the appropriate charger to charge the batteries. If the batteries
are improperly charged, there is a risk of explosion.
● Store the battery at room temperature (approximately 20°C | 68°F)
enclosed in the original packaging.
● Dispose of batteries separately from normal household waste as speci-
fied by the local waste disposal agency.

Drives
Drives
Drives in SpycerNode SC are protected by RAID 6. RAID 6 uses two parity
stripes to distribute data across the set of drives. It allows for two disk failures within the RAID set before any data is lost. All drives provide error
detection and correction capabilities. These are reported to the application in
line with the SCSI specifications.
Carriers
Drive carriers are used to hold the storage disks. A drive carrier houses a
single 3.5 SAS drive or, with an adapter, a 2.5 inch SAS SSD.

Drive carrier (SAS drive)
Disks Layout
At shipment, the hard disks are delivered separately and therefore have to be
installed before putting the system into operation, see also "Installing the
Drives" (page 42).
The drives are divided into two drives sets (01 - 30 and 31 - 60) for a total of
60 drives. A system with half capacity will have only the first set populated.

Dual PSUs provide redundant power for the system: if one PSU fails, the
other will keep the system running while you replace the faulty module. The
PSUs are hot-swappable.
System Damage
Replacement of a PSU can be performed while the system is running, but
the procedure must be completed immediately after the removal of the
defective PSU, otherwise a continued operation of the system cannot be
guaranteed.
Change a failed power supply unit immediately. Ensure you have a
replacement PSU before you remove the defective unit.
For information on how to exchange a PSU see "Replacing a Power Supply
Unit" (page 88).
