3.1 Safety Information
3.1.1 Location and placing precautions
Do not cover the device and do not place the unit on other heat-sensitive equipment. Avoid
positioning it in the following places:
•
Locations with direct sunlight, next to radiators or other sources of heat with high temperatures
(more than 35° C) or high humidity (more than 90%).
•
Locations subject to vibration, shock, or with a slope.
•
Do not expose the product to water or humid conditions.

Do not cover the enclosure’s ventilation holes.
3.1.2 Electricity and power plug
Careful attention must be paid to the following points in order to avoid electric shock or fire:
•
When removing the power cable, always pull on the plug fixture and never on the cord.
•
Make sure the power switch is in the OFF position when you connect the cord and always
connect the cord to your device first, before you plug it into the wall socket.
•
If the unit should emit smoke, an unusual odor or noise, switch it off immediately.
•
Use only the cables supplied or recommended by your vendor in order to avoid malfunction.
3.2 FAQ
Q: What file system should I choose to format my drive?
A:
This depends on how you want to use the drive but in general, we recommend:
•
Windows
NTFS
•
Mac OS X
HFS+ (Mac OS Extended)
•
To use it on both PC and Mac
FAT32 (single files size is limited to 4GB)
Q: How many drives can fail before I lose my data?
A:
This depends on the RAID mode. For RAID 0 and Spanning, any drive failure will result in the
data being lost. For RAID 1, RAID 5 and RAID 10, more than one drive failure at the same time will
mean the data cannot be recovered anymore.
Q: Will the hard drives spin down when my computer goes into stand-by mode?
A:
Yes, the drives and the fan will also go into stand-by mode.
Q: Why is the LED light for some or all of the drives OFF?
A:
If less than 4 drives are installed, it simply indicates that there is no drive in that particular slot.
Otherwise, it means that the interface cable (e.g. USB cable) is not yet connected to the computer
or the computer has not yet been turned on.
