impair electrical circuitry. It occurs when electronic components are improperly handled and can result in
complete or intermittent failures.
Wear an ESD wrist strap for installation, service and maintenance to prevent damage to components in the
product. Ensure the antistatic wrist strap is attached to a chassis ground (any unpainted metal surface). If
possible, keep one hand on the frame when you install or remove an ESD-sensitive part.
Before moving ESD-sensitive parts place them in ESD static-protective bags until you are ready to install the
part.
3.3 Optimizing Location
Failure to recognize the importance of optimally locating your product and failure to protect against
electrostatic discharge (ESD) when handling your product can result in lowered system performance or
system failure.
Do not position the unit in an environment that has extreme high temperatures or extreme low
temperatures. Be aware of the proximity of the unit to heaters, radiators, and air conditioners.
24
Installation Guide
Position the unit so that there is adequate space around it for proper cooling and ventilation. Consult the
product documentation for spacing information.
Keep the unit away from direct strong magnetic fields, excessive dust, and electronic/electrical equipment
that generate electrical noise.
3.4 Power Connections
Be aware of the ampere limit on any power supply or extension cables being used. The total ampere rating
being pulled on a circuit by all devices combined should not exceed 80% of the maximum limit for the
circuit.
CAUTION The power outlet must be easily accessible close to the unit.
Always use properly grounded, unmodified electrical outlets and cables. Ensure all outlets and
cables are rated to supply the proper voltage and current.
This unit has more than one power supply connection; both power cords must be removed from the
power supplies to completely remove power from the unit. There is no switch or other disconnect device.
When power cycling the unit, wait 10 seconds before re-applying power. Failure to do so may cause the
enclosure to boot up in an inaccessible state. If this is encountered, remove power, wait 10 seconds, and
then reapply power.

install safely, two to lift and one to guide the others who may have difficulty
seeing because the enclosure is in the way. Ensure that the appropriate
measures are taken to safely support the enclosure during installation. The
enclosure MUST have no drives installed and requires a two person team lift to
install. Do not attempt to lift the system if it is fully populated with drives.
The only case in which the system may be installed or removed with the drives
populated is if the facility has a lift that is rated to handle the maximum weight
of the fully loaded system.
Warning: The handles on the front of the chassis are not intended to be used
to support the weight of the Ultrastar Data60 . Lifting the unit by the chassis
handles or trying to support the unit on the handles can cause them to fail. This
can cause serious damage to the unit or serious bodily harm to those handling
the unit. Always team lift the chassis by gripping the underside of the unit, and
never try to lift a chassis that is filled with drives.
Warning: Do not lift the chassis by the Cable Tray while removing the chassis
from the rack OR while installing it into a rack. This can cause serious damage
to the unit or serious bodily harm to those handling the unit. Always team lift
the chassis by gripping the underside of the unit, and never try to lift a chassis
that is filled with drives.
In preparation to perform a team lift, position one individual on each side of the enclosure
(to lift) and a third individual standing at the protruding rack rails (to guide the chassis to
mate with rack rails).

5.Passive cables should only be used for direct (host-to-enclosure) connections.
Edge buffering is an enclosure feature that increases the overall performance when a 6Gb/s target is
connected. With edge buffering disabled, primitives that can be deleted from the initiator are added to
slow the effective logical rate to the slowest target device connected between the initiator and the target
device. With edge buffering enabled, the expanders buffer data from slower 6Gb/s targets to utilize the
12Gb/s link from the expander to the initiator in a more efficient manner.
5.4 Special Considerations for Cable Routing
There are a number of special considerations installers should take when routing cables through the CMA.
This section outlines those considerations.
The distance from the end of the connector at the port to the first basket on the CMA should be 20” – 21”
long. This will give the cables enough slack at this end to prevent stress on the port and binding during
operation cycles.

Installation Guide
The cables at the port side of the CMA should crisscross in front of the IOMs. To accomplish this, the cables
connected to the ports for IOM B (right hand side when facing the rear) should be connected to the upper
CMA, and the cables connected to the ports for IOM A (left hand side when facing the rear) should be
connected to the lower CMA.

5.4 Special Considerations for Cable Routing
When the cables are routed into the CMA, make sure there is some slack given to the elbow joint of the
CMA. It is recommended not to wrap the cables tightly around this joint because this can cause binding and
prevent smooth operation. To ensure there is enough slack at the elbow, pull the enclosure in and out of the
rack and have another installer check for binding in the elbow joint. Make sure the cables are bending and
not twisting.

Installation Guide
At the end of the CMA where the cables exit, use a cable tie to bundle the cables together. Make sure the
cables are bending and not twisting.

5.5.1 Before You Begin
The cable configurations detailed in this section are intended to provide the optimal setup for your specific
configuration. During the cabling of the CMA, the HD Mini-SAS and SFP+ cables should be installed into the
CMA first, followed by Ethernet cables, and finally the power cables on top.
How to Use the Service Loop Dimension Figure and Table
This section uses the concept of service loops to inform the user on how to prepare HD mini-SAS cables
for installation into the CMA. The power and Ethernet cables do not need to be added to the Service
Loop bundle. This concept utilizes measurements that begin at the connector end of the cable and along
the cable itself. The Service Loop Dimensions figure and the Service Loop Dimensions table are paired
together to communicate the length in which connectors, velcro, and the CMA cage must be set at to
avoid binding or snagging.
Note: The measurement provided in this section are only suggested values based on product
testing. Your specific situation may vary. Adjust the measurement as necessary to avoid cable
binding or sagging below the rear of the enclosure.
1. Identify the configuration that is needed for the particular setup and locate the Service Loop
Dimension table related to that configuration.
2. Take the first measurement (letter A) and measure that length from the connector on the cable to the
edge of where the first verco strip will go. Apply the velco strip.
3. Repeat this action for the B and C values until the table has been completed.
Here is an example of the Service Loop Dimension Figure and Table:
