“Before You Begin” on page 39
“Installing Whitewater xx30 Series Appliances in a Rack” on page 40
“Installing Whitewater Expansion Shelves in a Rack” on page 42
Before You Begin
Before you begin the installation process:
Unplug the AC power cords.
Remove all external devices and connectors.
Important:
Operation of the Whitewater xx30 series appliances or expansion shelves with any modules missing will
disrupt the airflow and the system will not receive sufficient cooling. It is essential that all apertures are filled when the
unit is in operation. Never leave a drive bay unpopulated for more than a few minutes and always have a replacement
drive ready to exchange for a disk drive pulled from the enclosure. (The 730 appliance includes dummy drive carriers
and blanking plates for this purpose.)
Opening the Bezel
To open the bezel, firmly press in the tabs on each side of the bezel and pull the top of the bezel toward you.
The bezel remains attached to the system on hinges.
