Task 1: Unpacking tthe ASUS S

torage

The ASUS Storage product box contains the following items:

•ASUS Storage DS300f or

DS300i subsystem

•Quick Start Guide printed

•RJ11-to-DB9 serial data cable

•Screws for disk drives

(70 pieces)

•1.5m (4.9 ft) Power cords (2)

•CD with SNMP files, User Manual,

and Quick Start Guide in PDF

format

A Battery Backup Unit (BBU) is optional on the ASUS Storage subsystem. In the

event of a power failure, the BBU powers the controller cache to preserve any

data it contains.

Warning

This is a Class A product. In a domestic environment this product

may cause radio interference in which case the user may be

required to take adequate measures.

Warning

The electronic components within the ASUS Storage enclosure

are sensitive to damage from Electro-Static Discharge (ESD).

Observe appropriate precautions at all times when handling the

ASUS Storage or its subassemblies.

Task 1: Unpacking tthe ASUS Storage

Caution

•There is a risk of explosion if the battery is replaced by the

incorrect type.

•Dispose of used batteries according to the instructions that

accompany the battery.

Figure 1. ASUS Storage front view

A defective drive may be replaced without interruption of data availability to the

host computer. If so configured, a hot spare drive will automatically replace a

failed drive, securing the fault-tolerant integrity of the logical drive. The self-

contained hardware-based RAID logical drive provides maximum performance in

a compact external enclosure.

Task 2: Installing the LCD Panel (Optional)

Cautions

•The LCD panel is NOT a hot-swap device. Be sure the ASUS

Storage is powered down before you connect or disconnect

the LCD panel.

•You must install the LCD panel before you mount the ASUS

Storage subsystem in a rack.

The LCD panel mounts to the left ear of the ASUS Storage enclosure.

1. Align the connector on the left bracket of the ASUS Storage enclosure to the

connector on the back of the LCD panel, as shown in Figure 4.

2. Insert the two screws that you removed in step 1 through the holes in the left

bracket and into the threaded holes in the LCD panel, as shown in page 6,

Figure 5.

Tighten the screws to secure the LCD panel to the bracket.

The LCD screen activates when the ASUS Storage boots. See “Task 7:

Connecting the Power” on page 28.

Go to “Task 3: Mounting ASUS Storage in a Rack” on page 7.

Task 3: Mounting ASUS Storage in a Rack

Cautions

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

attach the ASUS Storage unit into a rack system.

• Do not lift or move the ASUS Storage unit by the handles,

power supplies or the controller units. Hold the subsystem

itself.

•Do not install the ASUS Storage unit into a rack without rails

to support the subsystem.

•Only a qualified technician who is familiar with the installation

procedure should mount and install the ASUS Storage unit.

•Be sure all switches are OFF before installing the ASUS

Storage 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 ASUS Storage unit are designed to

safely support that ASUS Storage unit when properly

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

risk.

•ASUSTek COMPUTER INC. (Taiwan) cannot guarantee that

the mounting rails will support your ASUS Storage unit unless

you install them as instructed.

Note

To lighten the ASUS Storage enclosure, remove the power

supplies. Replace the power supplies after the ASUS Storage unit

is mounted in your rack.

To install the ASUS Storage subsystem into a rack with the supplied mounting

rails:

1. Check the fit of the mounting rails in your rack system.

See page 9, Figure 7.

2. Adjust the length of the mounting rails as needed.

The rear rail slides inside the front rail. The rail halves are riveted together

and use no adjustment screws.

3. Attach the mounting rail assemblies to the outside of the rack posts, using

the attaching screws and flange nuts from your rack system.

Be sure the front rail support is on the bottom facing inward.

The alignment pins fit into the rack holes above and below the attaching

screws.

Use the attaching screws and flange nuts from your rack system. Tighten the

screws and flange nuts according to your rack system instructions.

4. Place the ASUS Storage subsystem onto the rails.

5. Secure the ASUS Storage subsystem to the rack.

One screw each side, in the upper hole only. Use the attaching screws and

flange nuts from your rack system. Tighten the screws and flange nuts

according to your rack system instructions.
