Safety Warnings

ReadyNAS Desktop Storage Systems

1.The equipment contains no operator access areas and is certified for installation only by trained personnel, according to the installation instructions provided with each unit.

2.Install the socket outlet near the equipment in an easily accessible location.

3.Observe the on-board battery precautions.

DANGER:

RISK OF EXPLOSION IF BATTERY IS REPLACED BY AN

INCORRECT TYPE. DISPOSE OF USED BATTERIES ACCORDING

TO THEIR INSTRUCTIONS.

4.Connect the units and their associated LAN connections only to equipment within the same building.

5.Do not use slide or rail-mounted equipment as a shelf or a work space.

Electrical Safety Precautions

Follow basic electrical safety precautions to protect yourself from harm and the ReadyNAS from damage:

•Be aware of the locations of the power on/off switch on the chassis as well as the room's emergency power-off switch, disconnection switch, or electrical outlet. If an electrical accident occurs, you can then quickly remove power from the system.

•Do not work alone when working with high-voltage components.

•Always disconnect power from the system when removing or installing main system components, such as the main board or memory modules. When disconnecting power, first power down the system with the operating system and then unplug the power cords of all the power supply units in the system.

•When working around exposed electrical circuits, ensure that another person who is familiar with the power-off controls is nearby to switch off the power if necessary.

•Use only one hand when working with powered-on electrical equipment. This is to avoid making a complete circuit, which will cause electrical shock. Use extreme caution when using metal tools, which can easily damage any electrical components or circuit boards they come into contact with.

•Do not use mats designed to decrease static electrical discharge as protection from electrical shock. Instead, use rubber mats that have been specifically designed as electrical insulators.

•Use only power supply cords that include a grounding plug and plug them into grounded electrical outlets.
