Electrical Safety Precautions

Follow basic electrical safety precautions to protect yourself from harm and the ReadyNAS from damage:

Be aware of the locations of the Power On/Off switch on the chassis as well as the room’s emergency power-off switch, disconnection switch, or electrical outlet. If an electrical accident occurs, you can then quickly remove power from the system.

Do not work alone when working with high-voltage components.

Always disconnect power from the system when removing or installing main system components, such as the main board or memory modules. When disconnecting power, first power down the system with the operating system and then unplug the power cords of all the power supply storage systems in the system.

When working around exposed electrical circuits, ensure that another person who is familiar with the power-off controls is nearby to switch off the power if necessary.

Use only one hand when working with powered-on electrical equipment. This is to avoid making a complete circuit, which will cause electrical shock. Use extreme caution when
