To eliminate the risk of fire, the mains plug should be
removed from the mains socket prior to an extended
period of non-use. Prior to unstable weather and/or
when there is a danger of lightning strike, separate
the device from the mains network. Alternatively,
connect the device to a UPS.
Warning
Never open the device yourself! There is the dan-
ger of electric shock.
Should it be necessary to open the device, refer to
trained technicians or your specialist installation
contractor.
•
The installation or replacement of a hard disk drive
should only be carried out by trained personnel or
your specialist installation contractor.
Warning
Installations or modifications not carried out by
trained technicians invalidate the warranty.
We recommend that the installation of a hard disk
drive is carried out by a specialist installation con-
tractor.
Improper installation of the hard disk drive invali-
dates the warranty.
Overload/overvoltage
•
Avoid overloading electrical sockets, extension ca-
bles and adapters, as this can result in fire or electric
shock.
•
Use surge protection to prevent damage caused by
overvoltage (e.g. in electrical storms).
Cable
•
Always grasp all cables by the plug connector and do
not pull the cable itself.
•
Never grasp the power cable with wet hands, as this
can cause a short circuit or electric shock.
•
Do not place the device itself, items of furniture or
other heavy objects on the cable and ensure that it
does not become kinked, especially at the connector
plug and at the connection sockets.
•
Never tie a knot in the cable and do not bundle it to-
gether with other cables.
•
All cables should be laid so that they cannot be trod-
den on, or cause a hazard.
•
Damaged power cables can cause fire or electric
shock. Check the power cable from time to time.
•
Do not modify or manipulate the power cable or plug.
•
Do not use any adapter plug or extension cable that
does not conform to applicable safety standards, and
do not interfere with the mains or power cables.
Installation location/operating environment
•
Place the device on a firm, level surface and do not
place any heavy objects on the device.
•
The device is not designed for operation in spaces
with high temperatures or humidity (e.g. bathrooms),
or excessive accumulation of dust.
•
Operating temperature and operating humidity:
0°C to 40°C, maximum 90% relative humidity. The
device may only be operated in a temperate climate.
Ensure that:
•
adequate ventilation is always guaranteed (do not
place the device on a shelf, thick carpet, bed or wher-
ever ventilation slits may be covered. Always leave a
10 cm gap on all sides)
•
no direct sources of heat (e.g. radiators) can affect
the device
•
the device must not be exposed to direct sunlight or
strong artificial light
•
the device is not in the immediate vicinity of magnetic
fields (e.g. loudspeakers)
•
no naked lights (e.g. lit candles) are on, or next to the
device
•
contact with sprayed or dripping water and caustic
fluids is prevented
•

particular, the device should never be submerged (do
not place objects containing fluids, e.g. vases or
drinks, on or near the device)
•
no foreign bodies penetrate the device
•
the device is not exposed to wide temperature varia-
tions, as otherwise there may be condensation from
humidity causing electrical short circuits
•
the device is not exposed to excessive shock or vi-
bration.
