What’s in the Box
You should inspect the box in which the G-RACK 12 was shipped and note if it was damaged in any
way. If the unit itself shows damage you should file a damage claim with the carrier who delivered it.
Decide on a suitable location for the rack unit that will hold the G-RACK 12; it should be situated
in a clean, dust-free area that is well ventilated. Avoid areas where heat, electrical noise and
electromagnetic fields are generated. You will also need it placed near a grounded power outlet.
The G-RACK 12 must be handled with care during unpacking and installation. Drives may be
damaged by rough handling, shock or vibration. Be aware of the following precautions when
unpacking and installing your external storage product:
•
Do not drop or jolt the drive.
• Do not move the drive while it is powered on.
• Do not use this product as a portable drive.
• Determine the area you plan on placing this device - designed for 19” data rack. Open the outer
box, then open the inner box. Two people should work together to remove the device from the
box. Remove the rail kit and install into the rack. Install the G-RACK 12 into the rack (or place the
unit in your desired location).
• Make sure that the package is not damaged.
