CAUTION
Do not install the additional disk enclosure and disk arra y unit on an unstable place.
If so, some substances may be dropped to cause you to be injured.
Do not install the additional disk enclosure and the power c ords in an area with
direct sunshine or near an apparatus generating heat such as a heater. If so, a fault
may occur. Further, the coating of the power cord may be melted to cause f ire or
electric shock to occur.
Insert the plug of a power cord to an AC outlet securely. Any power c ord shall be
routed with sufficient margin to avoid excess force from being given to the plugs of
the power cord or the power cord itself. If a power cord is removed from the AC
outlet during operation, data may be lost and/or a fault may occur.
To prevent electric shocks, connect a power cord to an AC outlet with earth
terminal. Connection of the earth line to a gas tube is extremely danger ous. Never
do it.
Connect or remove a peripheral from the additional disk enclosure after turning off
all the powers of the additional disk enclosure and peripherals and pull ing out the
power cords from the AC outlets. If not, some units may be broken and/or you may
be electrically shocked.
To carry or reinstall the additional disk enclosure, disc onnect all cables and power
cords connected to the additional disk enclosure beforehand.
If not, a malfunction of the system, an electric shock and/or fire may occur .
To install the unit in a rack, observe the following guidelines.
1. TMRA – If installed in a rack, consideration should be given to insta lling the
equipment in an environment compatible with the TMRA.
2. Reduced Air Flow – Installation in a rack should be such that the amount of air flow
required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.
3. Mechanical loading – Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be suc h that a
hazardous condition is not achieved due to uneven mechanical loadi ng.
4. Circuit Overloading – Consideration should be given to the connection of the
equipment to the supply circuit and the effect that overloading the circuits might
have on overcurrent protection and supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of
equipment nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this conc ern.
5. Reliable Earthing – Reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment should b e
maintained. Particular attention should be given to supply connections other than
direct connections to the branch circuit (e.g., use of power strips).
