5. Choosing a place for your MaxNAS
When selecting a place to set up your Disk Array, be sure to follow these guidelines:
•Place on a flat and stable surface capable of supporting at least 25lbs
•Place the Disk Array close enough to a network jack for the Ethernet cable to reach it.
•Use a grounded wall outlet.
•Avoid an electrical outlet controlled by wall switches or automatic timers. Accidental disruption of the power source may wipe out data in the memory of your computer or Disk Array.
•Keep the entire system away from potential sources of electromagnetic interference, such as loudspeakers, cordless telephones, etc.
•Avoid direct sunlight, excessive heat, moisture, or dust.
