using metal tools, which can easily damage any electrical components or circuit boards they come into contact with.

Do not use mats designed to decrease static electrical discharge as protection from electrical shock. Instead, use rubber mats that have been specifically designed as electrical insulators.

Use only power supply cords that include a grounding plug and plug them into grounded electrical outlets.

General Safety Precautions

Follow these rules to ensure general safety:

Keep the area around the ReadyNAS clean and free of clutter.

See the technical specifications in this manual for details about your specific ReadyNAS storage systems.

The ReadyNAS weighs approximately 82 pounds when fully loaded. When lifting the system, two people at either end should lift slowly with their feet spread out to distribute the weight. Always keep your back straight and lift with your legs.

Place the chassis top cover and any system components that have been removed away from the system or on a table so that they will not accidentally be stepped on.

While working on the system, do not wear loose clothing such as neckties and unbuttoned shirt sleeves, which can come into contact with electrical circuits or be pulled into a cooling fan.

Remove any jewelry or metal objects from your body, which are excellent metal conductors that can create short circuits and harm you if they come into contact with printed circuit boards or areas where power is present.

Replace the on-board battery only with the same battery or an equivalent type of battery recommended by the manufacturer. Dispose of used batteries according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

DANGER:

Installing the on-board battery upside down, which reverses its polarities, creates a risk of explosion. Take care to install the battery correctly.

Only trained service technicians can replace the self-resetting PTC (positive temperature coefficient) fuses on the main board, using only new fuses that are the same as or equivalent to the ones being replaced. Contact technical support for details and support.
