Unpacking the SS8460
96-30052-001 Rev. A4 DataDirect Networks StorageScaler 8460 User Guide | 18
Perform the following steps:
1. Open the top of the box. Inspect for damage.
2. Remove all the components from the packaging, inspect the SS8460 chassis and all
components for signs of damage. Then place the components on an anti-static surface
until you are ready to use them. If you detect any problems, contact DataDirect
Networks Customer Service as soon as possible.
3. There are two nylon lifting straps that are used to remove the enclosure assembly from
the box (Figure 13). A forklift or other mechanical lifting device is highly recommended
to remove the unit.
The SS8460 enclosure is very heavy and requires assistance when lifting or
installing the unit in a rack. A SS8460 can weigh up to 244 lbs (110.9 kg)
with disks installed. (It is recommended that no disks are inserted prior to
installing the enclosure in a rack.) A forklift or lift table is recommended
when unpacking and installing the SS8460 to prevent possible injury.
