Chapter 2  – Installation 

2.1   Electro-Static Discharge Warning 

Please take full E.S.D. precautions if it is necessary at any time to come 
into contact with any circuit boards, components or connectors.  

Electrostatic discharge can damage the components used in the RamSan 
and its interfaces. 

 

2.2   Battery Warning 

The internal batteries in the RamSan-320/325 are charged with enough 
voltage to power a fully loaded system for approximately 30 minutes. 

However, the batteries may not be fully charged when you install your 
system.  Therefore, ensure that your batteries are fully charged before 

you use the system where there is risk of power failure. 
 

The following battery charge times apply to a fully loaded RamSan-
320/325:  With one hour of charge time, the batteries provide nine 

minutes of runtime. With two hours of charge time, the batteries provide 
17 minutes of runtime.  With three hours of charge time, the batteries 
provide 20 minutes of runtime. 

 
As a precaution, replace the RamSan’s batteries every two years.  To 

obtain spare or new batteries for your RamSan, contact Texas Memory 
Systems. 

 

2.3   System Inspection 

TMS ships the RamSan with a packing list.  Ensure that you have received 

all of the components listed. 
 
1)  Examine the external chassis for any damage that might have 

occurred during shipping.   

2)  Ensure that both power supplies are locked securely in place and that 

the internal hard disk drives have not come loose. 

3)  Inspect the interface plate for any screws that might have loosened 

during shipping.   

4)  Inspect the front panel display for damage. 

5)  Report any meaningful damage to Texas Memory Systems.
