• Disk modules
• Blank modules
• Two serial cables (DB9F-to-DB9F null)
• Two Ethernet cables (controllers to management networks)
Each couplet accessory kit is included in one of the two controllers’ packaging kits.
2.2 Safe Handling
• Do not lift the enclosure or controller by yourself
• Anti-tip plates should be firmly attached to the bottom of the rack to prevent the rack
from tipping over when a drawer is pulled out of the rack
• Do not pull out more than one drawer at once
• Remove disk modules to minimize weight of the enclosure
Also refer to the SFA OS User Guide and the 42U/45U 28" Wide Rack Installation and
Service Guide for additional information on safety requirements.
