2. Setting Up

2.1.Requirements

When planning a site to house the Viking FS-1600 Series NAS appliance, you may want to consider requirements for power and network availability, as well as a space with well regulated temperature and humidity that is relatively free of dust and other airborne contaminants. If your installation calls for placement on a table top, apply the supplied rubber feet to the bottom of the chassis.

Before unpacking and installing the FS-1600 Series NAS appliance, select a suitable installation site for maximum efficiency. Consider the following factors when choosing a site:

Near a grounded power outlet

Clean and dust-free

Sturdy surface free from vibration

Well-ventilated and away from sources of heat

Protected from electromagnetic fields produced by electrical devices such as air conditioners and radio and TV transmitters.

Take note of the following information when planning where and how to install the FS-1600 Series NAS appliance.

Warnings

Do not attempt to modify or use the supplied AC power cord if it is not the exact type required. A product with more than one power supply will have a separate AC power cord for each supply.

The power button on the NAS does not turn off AC power. To remove the AC power from the NAS, you must unplug the AC power cord from the wall outlet or power supply. The power cord is considered the disconnect device to the main (AC) power. The socket outlet that the NAS plugs into should be installed near the equipment and should be easily accessible.

2.1.1.Ambient Temperature

The maximum operating temperature of the FS-1600 Series NAS appliance is 95°F (35°C) and the relative humidity of the NAS is in the range 8% to 90% (non-condensing). Careful consideration should be given to installing the NAS in an environment compatible with 95°F (35°C) maximum ambient temperature.

2.1.2.Height and Weight

Before installing the FS-1600 Series NAS appliance, make sure that the surface on which you are setting it is strong enough to bear its weight and accommodate its size.

Dimensions (including front bezel): 17.2 (W) × 5.2 (H) × 25.5 (D) inches or (437 × 132 × 648 mm)

Weight (approximately, depending on configuration): 72 lbs. (32.7 kg)
