Health and Safety Precautions

✦✦ Only qualified persons are authorized to carry out maintenance on this de- vice.

✦✦ Read this User Manual carefully, and follow the correct procedure when setting up the device.

✦✦ Do not attempt to disassemble or modify your PCI card. Never insert any metallic object into the circuitry to avoid any risk of electrical shock, fire, short-circuiting or dangerous emissions. Your PCI card contains no user-serviceable parts. If it appears to be malfunctioning, have it inspected by a qualified LaCie Technical Sup- port representative.

✦✦ Never expose your device to rain, or use it near water, or in damp or wet conditions. Never place objects con-

taining liquids on the PCI card, as they may spill onto its circuitry. Do- ing so increases the risk of electrical shock, short-circuiting, fire or per- sonal injury.

✦✦ Make sure that the computer and PCI card are electrically grounded. If the devices are not grounded, there is an increased risk of electrical shock.

✦✦ Do not expose the PCI card to tem- peratures outside the range of 5° C to 45° C (41° F to 104° F). Doing so may damage the card or disfigure its casing. Avoid placing your card near a source of heat or exposing it to sunlight (even through a window). Inversely, placing your card in an en- vironment that is too cold or humid may damage the unit.
