PowerProtect DD6400 System Installation and Storage Expansion Guide

Safety considerations

Always follow safety recommendations to avoid damage to the system or harm to personnel.

CAUTION:
  • If the system is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the protection provided by the equipment could be impaired.
  • The RJ45 ports on the motherboard, PCI cards, or I/O modules are for Ethernet connection only and must not be connected to a telecommunications network.
CAUTION:Improper installation on the rails may damage the rails or cause the system to fall when extended. When extending the system from the rack, pull outward slowly and verify the system is properly installed on the rails.

Review and follow these important safety recommendations:

  • For ESD protection, Dell EMC recommends that you wear a suitable antistatic wrist or ankle strap. Observe all conventional ESD precautions when handling plug-in modules and components.
  • All plug-in modules and blank plates are part of the fire enclosure system and should not be removed unless a replacement can be added immediately. Do not run the system without all parts in place.
  • Provide a suitable power source with electrical overload protection.
  • Provide a safe electrical ground connection to each power cord. Check the grounding of the power sources before applying power.
  • A DD6400 system must be operated only from a power supply input voltage range of 100–240 VAC and 50–60 Hz.
  • ES40 shelves use 100–240 VAC and 47–63 Hz.
  • The system is intended to operate with all installed power supplies working as designed.
  • A faulty power supply module should be replaced within 24 hours.
  • Always disconnect the power connections before removing or replacing a power supply module.
  • The main way to disconnect power from the system is to unplug the power supply cord.
  • The system includes two power supplies. To completely remove system power, you must disconnect both power supplies.
  • Always disconnect the power connections before moving the system.
  • If you think the unit is damaged in any way, permanently unplug it.
  • CAUTION:The system components are heavy. To avoid personal injury and/or damage to the equipment, do not attempt to install or remove system components without a mechanical lift and/or help from another person.
    • A DD6400 system weighs up to 63.05 lbs (28.6 kg).
    • ES40 shelves weigh up to 68 lbs (30.8 kg).
