User Manual
PREFACE
Thank you for choosing the InWin JBOD IW-RJ472-08. This manual is written for system technicians who are
responsible for installation, troubleshooting, managing and repairing this server chassis. This document provides
an overview of all the features of the chassis, a list of accessories or other components you may need to finish
the installation, troubleshooting methods and instructions on adding and removing components in the InWin IWRJ472-08. For the latest version of this manual, you may visit InWin’s server website.
SAFETY INFORMATION
To ensure a safe and smooth operation of your InWin IW-RJ472-08, it is essential that you choose an appropriate
location for the system, provide an appropriate operating environment and supply an adequate amount of power for
all components of the system. As you plan for installation, follow the guidelines below to ensure that the system and
its environment are safely and appropriately positioned for efficient operation and service. Your system should be
installed and serviced only by a qualified technician.
Environment Selection:
The system is designed to operate in a typical office environment:
• The location should be clean, dry and free of airborne particles.
• It should be placed in a well-ventilated room, and away from sources of heat including direct sunlight and radiators.
• It should be kept away from sources of vibration or physical shock.
• The space should be accommodated with a properly grounded wall outlet, and with sufficient space to access the
power supply cords.
• The operating environment temperature should be around 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F).
Heed Safety Instructions:
Before working with InWin IPC/storage/SMB server products, we strongly recommend you use this guide as a
reference and follow the safety instructions. The instructions in this manual will help you ensure and maintain
compliance with existing product certifications and approvals. Follow the described, regulated components
mentioned in this manual. Use of non-UL listing products or other regulators may not comply with product
regulations in the region(s) in which the product is sold.
System Power On/Off:
The power button DOES NOT totally turn off the system AC power. To remove the power of the system, you
must unplug the AC power cord from the outlet or the system’s power supply units. Make sure the power cord is
unplugged before you open the chassis, add or remove any components.
2
Hazardous Conditions, Devices and Cables:
Hazardous electrical conditions can be present on/in power supply units and their cables. Disconnect the power
cord and any other devices attached to the server before opening the case. Failing to follow safety procedures will
increase the risk of personal injury or equipment damage.
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) and ESD Protection:
In most cases, ESD may damage disk drives, electronic boards and other parts. We recommend that you conduct
installation only at an ESD free space. If not possible, perform ESD protection protocol by wearing anti-static wrist
straps attached to the ground on any unpainted metal surface on your server during operation.
Installing or Removing Jumpers:
A jumper is a short length conductor used to close, open or bypass part of an electronic circuit. Jumpers on InWin
backplanes have a small tab on top that you can pick up with your fingertips. Grip the jumper carefully and plug
the jumper to cover the jumper pins on the backplane. Once you need to remove the jumper, grip the jumper and
carefully pull without squeezing.
CAUTION
To avoid damage and maintain your safety, please read the following terms listed below:
1. Do not populate hard drives and turn on the power until the system has stabilized. Make
sure hard drives and other components are properly connected before turning on the system.
2. Tighten or loosen all screws with a screwdriver.
3. Apply the correct screws packed in the accessories box.
4. For your safety, please have at least two people lift and install the unit in its designated area.
5. Before mounting the unit to the cabinet, make sure the rail is installed correctly.
6. When installing and removing any module or part, please use the handles.
