The system must not be run without all modules in place. Permanently unplug the enclosure before you move it or if you think that it has become damaged in any way. Caution: Fully assembled LaCie 12big Rack Serial 2 enclosures can weigh up to 26kg (77. 2lb). [. . . ] There are three main expansion configurations: s s s Single Host, Single Connection, shown in Figure 3-7 Single SBB module Supports SAS or SATA drives Expansion up to 96 drives Dual Host, Single Connection Dual SBB module Supports SAS or SATA drives (with dongle) Expansion up to 96 drives Dual Host, Dual Connection, shown in Figure 3-8 Dual SBB module Supports SAS or SATA drives (with dongle) Expansion up to 96 drives s s s s s s s s s Figure 3-7 - Single Host - Single Enclosure LaCie User Manual 24 Figure 3-8 - Dual Host - Multiple Enclosures 25 LaCie User Manual Important info: In order to use the 12big Rack Serial 2 as an expansion to the 12big Rack Network, internal firmware needs to be updated. On the included CD, run "UpgradeSerial2ForNetwork. bat" located in the Applications folder. This batch file will update firmware on up to three expansions connected to the RAID controller. Please wait until the process is finished and all chassis have rebooted. During this process, you may receive one or several "Event Notification Application" errors. They are due to the flashing process and enclosure reboot and have no effect on the status of the host connection. GROUNDING CHECKS The product must only be connected to a power source that has a safety electrical earth connection. The earth connection to the rack must be checked before switching on, by an electrical engineer who is qualified to the appropriate local and National standards to perform the check. LaCie User Manual 26 DATA SECURITY s s s s s s s Power down your host computer and all attached peripheral devices before beginning installation. Handle them with care, and keep them away from strong magnetic fields. All the supplied plug-in modules must be in place for the air to flow correctly around the enclosure and also to complete the internal circuitry. If the enclosure system is used with modules missing for more than a few minutes, the enclosure can overheat, causing power failure and data loss. If it is faulty, replace it with a drive module of the same type and capacity. Ensure that all disk drives are removed from the enclosure before attempting to manhandle or move the rack installation. Do not abandon your backup routines. 27 LaCie User Manual OPERATION BEFORE YOU BEGIN Before powering up your LaCie 12big Rack Serial 2 please ensure that all the modules are firmly seated in their correct bays. POWER ON Caution: Do not operate the enclosure system until the ambient temperature is within the specified operating range. If the drives have been recently installed ensure they have had time to acclimatize before operating them. Power On the system by connecting the power cables to the PDU and moving the PCM switch (Figure 4-1) to the ON position 2. The System Power LED on the Ops Panel should be lit (Green) when the enclosure power is activated (and the disk drive motors should start). Important info: If mains power is lost for any reason, on restoration of power the system will re-start automatically. Note: Please refer to Table 5-2 for details of the Ops Panel LEDs and related fault conditions. Power Cooling Module LEDs The PCM incorporates the following LEDs: PSU OK: AC Input Fail: Fan Fail: Green Amber Amber DC Output Fail: Amber PCM LEDs and switches are shown in Figure 4-1. LaCie User Manual 28 Figure 4-1 - PCM LEDs OPS PANEL LEDS The Ops Panel LEDs fault and status conditions are described in Table 4-1 and shown in Figure 4-2. Table 4-1: Ops Panel LEDs LEDs System Power Module Fault Logical Fault Status Constant Green: good or positive indication Constant Amber: fault present Constant or Flashing Amber: fault present Constant or Flashing Amber: fault present Figure 4-2: Ops Panel LEDs 29 LaCie User Manual SETTING THE UNIT IDENTIFICATION NUMBER First Set At first system power on, the Unit Identification Number is not set. The enclosure management system will recognize this and set the display to "00" and flash the digits at 1Hz. The system will delay power up until the Unit Identification Number is set. To set the number, press and hold the Mute switch, which will stop the first digit (left hand digit) flashing and start incrementing the number by 1 every 2 seconds. When the first required number is reached, release the switch for 5 seconds, at which point the first number is locked and the second number may be set. To change the second digit (right hand digit), press and hold the switch again to achieve the desired number, otherwise if there is no action for 5 seconds the enclosure management system will select "0". [. . . ] Grasp the module latch between the thumb and forefinger and squeeze them together to release the latch. Pull the latch outward to cam the module out of the enclosure (Figure 6-11). Grip the latch handles and withdraw the module (Figure 6-12).

Check for damage, especially to the interface connector - do not install if the pins are bent. [. . . ]
