2 — Nexsan E-Series E48/E60/E48X/E60X Quick Start Guide
CAUTION:
The Nexsan storage system is heavy and requires two people to lift it and slide it onto the
mounting rails. Do NOT attempt to mount the system onto the rails by yourself.
When removing the system from the packaging, DO NOT lift the enclosure by any plastic parts
or module handles on the chassis. Lift the enclosure ONLY by the bottom edges of the chassis.
NOTE:
The packaging that the system ships in is reusable and should be retained for future re-shipment.
Preparing the system
Remove the PSUs from the storage system or storage expansion.
CAUTION: Handle the PSUs and RAID Controllers/Expansion Controllers ONLY by the
handles and outer coverings. DO NOT touch any internal components or connectors.
Doing so may harm the electronics inside.
