Galaxy® HDX4 - Rorke Data

Galaxy Raid Installation and Hardware Reference Manual
• Airflow Consideration: The subsystem requires an ai rflow clearance,
especially at t he front a nd r ear. A clearance of at least 18 to 20
centimeters i s r equired at t he r ear s ide a nd an y o bjects bl ocking t he
exhaust airflow, e.g., cables dangling at the fan outlet, should be avoided.
• Handle subsystem modules using the retention screws, eject levers, and
the metal frames/face plates. Avoid touching PCB boards and connector
pins.
• To c omply with s afety, emission, or t hermal r equirements, none of t he
covers or r eplaceable m odules s hould be r emoved. Mak e s ure t hat all
enclosure modules and covers are securely in place during operation.
• Be s ure t hat t he r ack c abinet i nto which t he s ubsystem chassis w ill be

• Provide a soft, clean surface to place your subsystem on before working

chassis.
• If i t i s necessary to transport t he s ubsystem, r epackage al l dr ives
separately.
• Dual-redundant c ontroller models c ome w ith t wo R AID c ontrollers t hat

RAID controller and a metal sheet is placed over the lower controller bay
at t he r ear of t he s ubsystem. S ince s ingle-controller m odels c annot b e
upgraded, this metal sheet should NEVER be removed.
ESD Precautions
Observe a ll c onventional anti-ESD m ethods while handling s ystem
modules. The use of a grounded wrist strap and an anti-static work
pad are recommended. Avoid dust and debris in your work area.
