Hardware Media Access Control (MAC) Addresses The AirPort Time Capsule has three hardware addresses:

Using Your AirPort Time Capsule Safely
ÂÂ The only way to shut off power completely to your AirPort Time Capsule is to disconnect it from the power source.
ÂÂ When connecting or disconnecting your AirPort Time Capsule, always hold the plug by its sides. Keep your fingers away from the metal part of the plug.
ÂÂ Your AirPort Time Capsule should not be opened for any reason, even when it’s unplugged. If your AirPort Time Capsule needs service, see “Learning More, Service, and Support” on page 21.
ÂÂ Never force a connector into a port. If the connector and port don’t join with reasonable ease, they probably don’t match. Make sure that the connector matches the port and that you’ve positioned the connector correctly in relation to the port.
