Installing the System in an Equipment Rack

Air Flow
To ensure that the internal heat build up is properly dissi-
pated into the room environment, air flow should in no way
be restricted. It is essential that no air vents are blocked, and
that the system is a minimum of one meter from a solid
surface such as a wall or partition. Air flow through the 2Gb
SANbloc Series is from front to rear.
Mechanical Loading
Consideration should be given to the loading of any
equipment racks. To maintain a low centre of gravity (thus
reducing the likelihood of instability) racks should be loaded
(where possible) from the bottom of the equipment rack
upwards. This is recommended to ensure personal safety.
CAUTION: When installing or removing a rack mount enclosure,
remove all disk drives. It is recommended that you work with at
least one other person when installing an enclosure. This is neces-
sary to prevent personal injury and damage to the enclosure.
