the United States and Canada.

Floor Model
The Diamond Storage Array is heavy (about 92
pounds fully loaded) and requires two people to
lift and carry it safely. Place the array on a level
surface and make sure there is adequate space in
the front and back of the unit for proper cooling
and airflow. Continue with the general
instructions.
Rack Mount
The array fully loaded is heavy (about 86 pounds).
The unit should be handled with care and requires
two people to lift, carry and/or install it safely.
The array can be mounted via several different
methods in a 19” rack with 3U (5.25”) of vertical
space required. Air flow should not be restricted
in any way.
Installation in a rack may create a differential
between the room ambient temperature and the
internal ambient temperature in the rack. While
the maximum internal operating temperature of
the array is 47°C,
you should not
run the system at
the maximum
temperature for
extended
periods.
Therefore,
ensure that the
room ambient
temperature is
kept below 30°C
for best operation.
Each side of the rack mount array chassis has
three pairs of mounting holes. One is located near
the front of the rack, one near the unit’s center of
gravity, and one near the rear of the rack. The
holes accommodate 10/32 screws but the screws
can protrude no farther than .375 inches into the
rack.
Spaced rail pairs in some rackmount cabinets.
You can mount the array using two sets of rail
pairs spaced to accommodate the overall length of
the unit (approximately 23 inches). Mount using
the rack mount brackets on the front and rear of
the unit fastened to the rail pairs using 10/32 pan
head screws with lock and flat washers.
Rack mount cabinets with stationary shelf or tray
system.
The shelf or tray must be able to support
at least 125 pounds. The shelf or tray must be
installed and secured to the rack before installing
the array. Secure the front of the array to the rack
with 10/32 screws, locks and flat washers.
Sliding shelf or tray type systems
should never
be used under any circumstances.
Two point open rack system.
The rack must be
strong enough to support the array properly.
Mounting brackets should be moved to the
