Cautions

• Do not populate any unit with hard drives until it has been securely

installed in the rack.

• At least two persons are required to safely lift, place, and attach the

unit into a rack system.

• Do not lift or move the unit by the handles, power supplies or the

controller units. Hold the system itself.

• Do not install the unit into a rack without rails to support the

system.

• Only a qualified technician who is familiar with the installation

procedure should mount and install the unit.

• Mount the rails to the rack using the appropriate screws and flange

nuts, fully tightened, at each end of the rail.

• Do not load the rails unless they are installed with screws as

instructed.

• The rails available for the PROMISE Vess unit are designed to safely

support that PROMISE Vess unit when properly installed. Additional

loading on the rails is at the customer’s risk.

• PROMISE Technology, Inc. cannot guarantee that the mounting rails

will support your PROMISE Vess unit unless you install them as

instructed.

Caution

To lighten the enclosure, remove the power supplies, and remove all

hard drive carriers. Replace the power supplies and drive carriers

after the unit is mounted in your rack.
