mVault I

Quick Start Guide

Unpacking and Installing the System

Your mVault system is complete and ready to use out of the box. All hard drives and components are installed

and tested at the factory.

Before proceeding, please take a moment to inspect the packaging and system for damage. If there is any sign

of damage, please contact your carrier or reseller.

Please review the packing list and compare it against the content of the package. If any components are

missing or damaged, please contact your authorized reseller immediately.

CAUTION: THE mVAULT IS VERY HEAVY AND REQUIRES ASSISTANCE WHEN LIFTING OR INSTALLING

INTO A RACK. THE SYSTEM WEIGHS OVER 250 LB. AS CONFIGURED OUT OF THE BOX, IT IS HIGHLY

RECOMMENDED THAT A FORKLIFT OR LIFT TABLE BE USED WHEN INSTALLING INTO A RACK IN

ORDER TO PREVENT PERSONAL INJURY OR DAMAGE TO THE SYSTEM.

PLEASE FOLLOW THE STEPS BELOW TO REMOVE YOUR SYSTEM FROM THE PACKAGING.

1. Carefully read all safety notices attached to the top of the mVault before proceeding.

2. Remove the top of the shipping carton.

3. Remove the accessory box and rail kit box and carefully check the components against the

packing slip.

4. Using the lifting straps as shown in the diagram above, lift the system out of the main box and

place aside.

5. Locate the rail kit box and follow the enclosed instructions in order to install the rail kit into the

rack.

NOTE:

The system requires a 4 post equipment rack. It is highly recommended that the system

be installed in the lower portion of the rack and not above 24U high. You may have to adjust the

front and back mounting rails to meet the mVault rail mounting requirement of

20" (50.8cm)-28.5" (72.4cm) depth. DO NOT attempt to mount the system using any other rail

depths. After the Rail kit is installed into the rack and the side rails are installed on the mVault

system, the system should be slid into the rail kit. It is highly recommended that you use a

mechanical lifting device such as a forklift.

USE EXTREME CAUTION WHEN SLIDING THE mVAULT INTO THE RACK TO AVOID

DAMAGING THE RAIL SLIDE MECHANISM!

6. Ensure all components are secure and tight in both the front and rear of the system.

7. Secure the system using the included mounting screws and install the power cords. Use of a

UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) is highly recommended. Power requirements for the mVault

can be found at:
