Safe Handling
CAUTION:
If this equipment is used in a
manner not specified by LaCie, the pro-
tection provided by the equipment may be
impaired.
In order to comply with applicable safety,
emission and thermal requirements, no
covers should be removed and all bays
must be populated with plug-in modules.
The system must not be run without all
modules in place.
Unplug the cables before you move the
enclosure.
Unplug the power cooling modules
(PCMs) if you believe the system has be-
come damaged in any way.
CAUTION:
Fully assembled 12big Rack
Fibre 8 enclosure can weigh up to 27 kg
(59 lb.) Do not try to lift the enclosure by
yourself.
Always remove the power cooling mod-
ules and disk drives to minimize weight
before installing or removing the enclo-
sure into a rack.
CAUTION:
The RJ-45 socket on the
RAID Controller is for Ethernet connection
only and must not be connected to a tele-
communications network.
Do not lift the enclosure by the handles
on the power supplies, as they are not de-
signed to support that weight.
Safety
✦
The enclosure must only be operated
from a power supply input voltage
range of 100-240 VAC, 50-60 Hz.
✦
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.
✦
The wiring installation must provide
a disconnect device close to the
equipment.
✦
The RAID enclosure is designed
to power up and operate with two
power cooling modules and al-
low for a failure of one PCM while
continuing normal operations. Two
PCMs must always be installed.
✦
If powered by multiple AC sources,
disconnect all source power for
complete isolation.
✦
A faulty PCM must be replaced with
a fully operational PCM within 24
hours after failure. Do not remove
a faulty PCM unless you have a re-
placement of the correct type ready
for installation. The cooling fan por-
tion will continue to operate exclu-
sive of the power supply functions.
✦
Before removing a PCM, disconnect
the power cord.
✦
The power connection should al-
ways be disconnected prior to re-
moval of the power supply module
from the enclosure.
✦
A safe electrical ground (earth) con-
nection must be provided to the
power cords. Check the grounding
of the enclosure before applying
power.
✦
Provide a suitable power source
with electrical overload protection
to meet the requirements listed in
the technical specification.
CAUTION:
Do not the remove the covers
from the Power Cooling Module. Danger
of electric shock inside. Return the module
to your supplier for repair.
✦
Unplug the enclosure if you think
that it has become damaged in any
way and before you move it.
Equipment Handling
Precautions
✦
All plug-in modules are part of the
fire enclosure and must only be
removed when a replacement can
be immediately added. The system
must not be operated without all
modules in place.
CAUTION:
Operation of the enclosure
with ANY drive carrier module missing will
disrupt the airflow and the drives will not
receive sufficient cooling. It is ESSENTIAL
that all apertures are filled before oper-
ating the enclosure system. Dummy drive
carrier modules must be installed to un-
used drive bays.
Battery Safety
The RAID Controller employs a user re-
placeable battery pack. The controller
contains two batteries: the large user
replaceable Li-Ion battery, and the non-
user replaceable small yellow “SNAPHAT”
Lithium cell. For installation and removal
instructions,
please refer to section
5.4.5.
Replacing a Battery Module
.
CAUTION:
There is a danger of explo-
sion if the battery is disposed of improp-
erly. Dispose of used batteries in ac-
cordance with LaCie’s instructions and
national regulations.
CAUTION:
The batteries in the RAID
Controller may present a risk of fire, ex-
plosion or burns. Do not disassemble,
crush or heat above 60° C (140° F), or
incinerate. Replace the large battery with
the LaCie 12big Fibre 8 battery only. Use
of another battery may present a risk of
fire or explosion.
