Safely transport a 5U expansion enclosure by following this procedure.
Procedure
To transport a model 92F, 92G, or A9F expansion enclosure between locations, or to transport an entire rack that contains one or
more of these 5U enclosures, follow these steps to protect against drive damage.
- Safely power down the 5U enclosure by referring to Powering off the 5U expansion enclosure. Do not remove rack power until systems are
safely powered down.
- Transfer all of the drives in the 5U enclosure into their original packaging or
equivalent packaging for safe transportation.
The original packaging consists of an anti-static bag for each drive, an inner carton with slots
for 20 drives, and an outer carton to hold three inner cartons of drives.
- Disconnect only the cables necessary for the equipment move.
- To remove the 5U enclosure from the rack, see Removing a 5U expansion enclosure from a rack.
- Return all components, but not the drives, to the 5U enclosure for
shipping.
Do not return the drives to the 5U enclosure until the enclosure is at its new location and is
not to be moved again.
