Installation Safety Precautions
When you install the array, follow these safety precautions:
•
Dell recommends that only individuals with the proper experience install the PS-M4110 blade storage array
in an PowerEdge M1000e Blade Enclosure.
•
Leave the array in its static-protective packaging until you are ready to install it into the enclosure.
•
When handling the array, use an electrostatic wrist guard or a similar form of electrostatic protection.
•
Be careful when lifting the PS-M4110 array from the shipping box, or whenever moving it. The array has an
inner drawer (containing the drives and control modules) that can accidentally slide out of the array enclo-
sure if it is not locked closed. Before moving the array, always check to assure that the warning message
Drawer Unlatched is not visible on the top lip of the array's drawer front. See Handling the Array on page
2.
•
When shipped by itself, the PS-M4110 includes a retaining clip on the front to prevent the array drawer from
sliding out of its enclosure. Before lifting the array from the shipping box, be sure that the retaining clip is
attached.
Handling the Array
Be careful when handling the PS-M4110 blade storage array. The PS-M4110 array has an outer shell that houses
an inner drawer (containing the array drives and control modules). The inner drawer can accidentally slide out of
the outer shell if it is not closed.
