Required tools and equipment

Required tools and equipment for installation  

Assemble the following tools and equipment:

• #1 and #2 Phillips screwdrivers
• Antistatic wrist strap and grounding leash

  Caution
  The disk shelf uses electronic components that are sensitive to static electricity. Static discharge from your clothing or other fixtures around you can damage these components. Put on an antistatic wrist strap and grounding leash to free yourself of static electricity before touching any electronic components.

• Appropriate screws, if the provided screws do not fit your rack

  Note
  This guide assumes that the rack has threaded holes. If it does not, you need to provide clip nuts or nut-bars for fastening the screws.

• Additional tools to fabricate the cables for disk shelves with DC power supplies:
  • Wire-strippers
  • Soldering tools
  • Pliers
  • 12 AWG x 3C copper wire (determine the length from the requirements of your environment)
  • Three copper compression connectors similar to the Panduit #LCA 8-10
