Choosing a location for your RAIDBank5

When selecting a place to set up your RAIDBank5, be sure to follow these guidelines:

Place on a flat and stable surface capable of supporting at least 25lbs

Place the RAIDBank5 close enough to the computer for the host connection cable to reach.

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 RAIDBank5

Keep the entire system away from potential sources of electromagnetic interference, such as loudspeakers, cordless telephones, etc

!CAUTION! Avoid direct sunlight, excessive heat, moisture, shock and vibration, or dust

Installing the Fan Module

Before turning on the RAIDBank5, make sure to unpack and install the fan module as illustrated right. Simply line up the fan with the power connector (bottom edge) and the securing clip slots (left and right,) and gently push the

fan evenly until the securing clips click into place.
