For better performance

This unit is constructed to allow the HDDs to be installed on 5-inch bay units, but its design does not improve the HDD drop resistance or impact resistance performance. Remember to take extra care when handling the bay units.

•The 5-inch bay units are not packed with the storage unit. Give due consideration to the applications

for which they will be used, obtain bay units with a sufficient shock and vibration resistance, and install them.

Shock resistance and vibration resistance

There are cushions on the legs to absorb the vibration. However, please understand that no guarantee against damage or failure.

Handling HDDs

The unit is designed for use with typical HDDs installed. To minimize any risks associated with HDD damage, loss of data on HDDs, or interrupted operation, refer to the HDD user manual for information on installation and use.

•When moving the unit, after setting the rear POWER switch to OFF be sure to wait until the HDDs stop rotating (about 2 minutes) before moving the unit to avoid subjecting the unit to shock or vibration.

(After the unit is turned OFF, HDDs continue spinning from inertia for a while.)

Before moving the storage unit, be absolutely sure to press the EJECT buttons and set it to in position.

Moving the unit

When moving the unit, protect the front panel with the front cushion.
