High voltages may occur inside computer equipment. Before removing the enclosure, please turn off the power switch and disconnect the power cords.

1.6.2 Safety for your data

If you are not using new hard drives for operating Open-E iSCSI, please backup all important data prior to installation. Adding a hard drive to Open-E iSCSI goes hand in hand with complete formatting of the hard drive, which can possibly delete existing data.

1.6.3 ESD precautions

In order to avoid damage to your computer or to Open-E iSCSI, please ensure you are grounded before opening the PC or the ESD package that contains Open-E iSCSI. Using grounding straps or mats is the best way to ensure this safety. If you don't have grounding equipment handy, please make sure you are grounded before working with Open-E iSCSI, for instance, by touching a heater.

•Avoid unnecessary touching of the components inside the PC

•Please touch Open-E iSCSI only on the edges
