SCv2080 Storage System Owner’s Manual

If equipment described in this guide is used in a manner not specified by Dell, the protection provided by the equipment could be impaired. For your safety and protection, observe the rules described in the following sections.

Installation Safety Precautions

Heavy weight warning A fully configured SCv2080 storage system weighs up to 130 kg (287 lb). An unpopulated storage system weighs 62 kg (137 lb). Use appropriate lifting methods when installing the storage system.

High temperature warning The operating temperature inside the drawers of a storage system can reach up to 60°C (140°F). Take care when opening drawers and removing drive carriers.

Electrical disconnection Indicates that all electrical supply connections to the storage system must be disconnected before proceeding.

• You need at least two people to lift the storage system from the shipping box and three people to install it in the rack. The empty chassis weighs approximately 62 kg (137 lbs).
• Dell recommends that only individuals with rack-mounting experience install an SCv2080 storage system in a rack.
• The rack construction must support the total weight of the installed expansion enclosures. The design should incorporate stabilizing features suitable to prevent the rack from tipping or being pushed over during installation or in normal use.
• To prevent the rack from tipping, slide only one storage system out of the rack at a time.
• Make sure that the storage system is always fully grounded to prevent damage from electrostatic discharge.
• When handling the storage system components, use an electrostatic wrist guard or a similar form of protection.
