NOTE: See the safety and regulatory information that shipped with each Storage Center
component. Warranty information may be included within this document or as a separate
document.
Installation Safety Precautions
Follow these safety precautions:
• Dell recommends that only individuals with rack-mounting experience install an SCv2000/SCv2020
storage system in a rack.
• Make sure the storage system is fully grounded at all times to prevent damage from electrostatic
discharge.
• When handling the storage system hardware, you should use an electrostatic wrist guard (not
included) or a similar form of protection.
The storage system chassis MUST be mounted in a rack; the following safety requirements must be
considered when doing so:
• The rack construction must be capable of supporting the total weight of the installed chassis and the
design should incorporate stabilizing features suitable to prevent the rack tipping or being pushed
over during installation or in normal use.
• To avoid danger of the rack toppling over, do not slide more than one chassis out of the rack at a
time.
• The rack design should take into consideration the maximum operating ambient temperature for the
unit, which is 57°C.
Electrical Safety Precautions
Always follow electrical safety precautions to avoid injury and damage to Storage Center equipment.
WARNING: Disconnect power from the storage system when removing or installing components
that are not hot-swappable. When disconnecting power, first power down the storage system
using the Dell Storage Client and then unplug the power cords from all the power supplies in the
storage system.
• Provide a suitable power source with electrical overload protection. All Storage Center components
must be grounded before applying power. Make sure that there is a safe electrical earth connection to
power supply cords. Check the grounding before applying power.
• The plugs on the power supply cords are used as the main disconnect device. Make sure that the
socket outlets are located near the equipment and are easily accessible.
• Know the locations of the equipment power switches and the room's emergency power-off switch,
disconnection switch, or electrical outlet.
• Do not work alone when working with high-voltage components.
• Use rubber mats specifically designed as electrical insulators.
• Do not remove covers from the power supply unit. Disconnect the power connection before
removing a power supply from the storage system.
• Do not remove a faulty power supply unless you have a replacement model of the correct type ready
for insertion. A faulty power supply must be replaced with a fully operational module power supply
within 24 hours.
• Unplug the storage system chassis before you move it or if you think it has become damaged in any
way. When powered by multiple AC sources, disconnect all supply power for complete isolation.
