VTrak E-Class Product Manual

Mounting VTrak in a Rack

Cautions

• At least two persons are required to safely lift, place, and

attach the VTrak unit into a rack system.

• Do not lift or move the VTrak unit by the handles, power

supplies or the controller units. Hold the subsystem itself.

• Do not install the VTrak unit into a rack without rails to support

the subsystem.

• Do not lay one VTrak enclosure on top of another. Mount

each enclosure supported by its own set of rails.

• Performance can be adversely affected if the VTrak unit is

improperly installed.

• Only a qualified technician who is familiar with the installation

procedure should mount and install the VTrak unit.

• Be sure all switches are OFF before installing the VTrak unit

or exchanging components.

• Mount the rails to the rack using the appropriate screws and

flange nuts, fully tightened, at each end of the rail.

• Do not load the rails unless they are installed with screws as

instructed.

• The rails that ship with the PROMISE VTrak unit are designed

to safely support that PROMISE VTrak unit when properly

installed. Additional loading on the rails is at the customer’s

risk.

• PROMISE Technology, Inc. cannot guarantee that the

mounting rails will support your PROMISE VTrak unit unless

you install them as instructed.

Note

To lighten the VTrak enclosure, remove the power supplies. If your

VTrak shipped with physical drives installed, remove all of the

drive carriers, also.

Replace the power supplies and drive carriers after the VTrak unit

is mounted in your rack.
