IBM DS4500 Portable Media Storage User Manual


 
Moving or relocating the DS4500 Storage Subsystem
Notes:
1. Remove each CRU before you move the DS4500 Storage Subsystem to a new
location or before you remove the chassis from its rack cabinet. This precaution
helps safeguard the equipment and ensures a smoother transition to the new
environment.
2. If you are moving the DS4500 Storage Subsystem a short distance, and you
have sufficient assistance or equipment, you might be able to move the DS4500
Storage Subsystem without removing each component CRU. If you do not have
sufficient assistance or equipment, use the following procedure to safely move
the equipment to its new location.
3. If you are moving the DS4500 Storage Subsystem a significant distance, be
sure to pack it in its original shipping container.
Use the following procedure to remove all component CRUs before you move or
relocate the DS4500 Storage Subsystem.
1. Turn off the DS4500 Storage Subsystem (see “Turning off the storage
subsystem” on page 136).
2. Label the host Fibre Channel and interface cables and disconnect them.
Attention: Handle and install fiber-optic cables properly to avoid degraded
performance or loss of communications with devices. When working with
fiber-optic cables, do not pinch them, step on them, or locate them in aisles or
walkways. Do not bend the cables to a radius of less than 38 mm (1.5 in.).
3. Disconnect all remaining cables from the DS4500 Storage Subsystem and
label them so that you can correctly reconnect them later.
Attention: When you handle static-sensitive devices, take precautions to
avoid damage from static electricity. For details about handling static-sensitive
devices, see “Handling static-sensitive devices” on page 24.
4. Remove all CRUs from the DS4500 Storage Subsystem (see “Removing the
CRUs” on page 31).
5. Remove the two screws from the inside rear of the DS4500 Storage
Subsystem; then, remove the two screws from the inside front of the DS4500
Storage Subsystem. Save the screws for later. For detailed information, see
the Rack Mounting Instructions that come with the storage subsystem.
Attention: Do not remove the black hex head screws. These secure the rails
that support your DS4500 Storage Subsystem.
