1.2 Installation Safety
Protect Yourself and Others
Before installing an OpenFlex™ Data24, it is important to take precautions to keep all personnel performing
the installation—or individuals near the installation site—safe. Make sure all paths and floors are clean and
free of obstacles. Do not wear clothing that is loose or can become tangled or catch on anything, or clothing
that is too tight and may restrict movement. Read all safety labels and instructions in this manual and on the
equipment being used for installation. Never lift the OpenFlex™ Data24 alone; it should always be teamlifted.
When installing the unit in a rack, it is highly recommended that you install it at the lowest possible U height
of the rack. This is intended to prevent an imbalanced load and it keeps the center of gravity low on the rack
to help prevent tipping hazards.
Protect Your Equipment
Always use the proper tooling outlined in this document during installation. This includes torque
specifications and driver heads when installing screws, lifting equipment, and safety equipment, as well as
the OpenFlex™ Data24 itself. Always respect the ESD requirements outlined at your site. Use ESD mitigation
and prevention equipment to prevent discharges that may damage equipment. During installation, do not tip
the enclosure.
The following is a list of safety equipment that should be considered before proceeding:
•Safety Shoes/Steel-toed Boots (ESD Safe is a plus)
•Lifting equipment
•ESD mitigation equipment
•Safety vests and hard hats
•Rack support or anchoring equipment

following procedures:
1. Unpacking the OpenFlex Data24 (page 8)
2. Installation Procedure (page 8)
1.3.1 How to Report Damage
During the installation process, there are a number of inspection steps where the installation team should
be looking for damage to the product that may have occurred during shipment. If damage is found,
document the items using the following process.
Before you begin: Before reporting damage to the system, pleas locate the system information.
There is a small plastic tab that can be pulled out to show the vital system details such as the SKU number
and single Top Level Serial Number. This is the only location for the product SN. The pullout tab is located
on the front of the platform in the location shown in the following image.
Figure 1: Pullout Tab Location
Step 1 :Take two digital photos of the damaged packaging or component, one closeup shot showing the
damage in detail and one further out so the support engineers working the case can see where
the damage occurred.
