Safety Precautions
2-3
4.
The power source outlet sockets should be adequately adjacent and
easily accessible.
5.
Place the enclosure on a soft, clean surface before working on it.
Placing the enclosure on a rough surface during servicing may damage
the chassis finish.
6.
Do not remove any module or component from its anti-static bag before
installation to prevent static electricity from damaging the electric
components.
7.
Because hard drives are prone to damages by shock and vibration
during operation, all equipment should be installed in an equipment
rack prior to powering up.
8.
Hard Drives must not be stacked one on top of another without their
protective drive trays. Even when fixed in the drive trays, contact with
the exposed PCB or rear-end interfaces may result in ESD damage
which will yield various immediate or latent failures.
9.
Stacking drives one upon another can result in erasing the IC
programmable contents.
10.
When replacing components, insert them as gently as possible while
assuring full engagement. Vibration and shock can easily damage hard
drives during operation. Handle hard drives with extreme care.
11.
Place the power cords and all cables away from foot traffic. Do not
place anything over the power cords. After all equipment is installed
into rack, carefully route the power cords and data cables so that power
cords are not resting against data cables.
12.
If the enclosure is not used for a long time, disconnect it from the mains
to avoid transient over-voltage.
13.
Never open the enclosure chassis. For safety reasons, only qualified
service personnel can open the equipment.
14.
If any of the following situations occurs, contact service personnel:
a.
The power cord or plug is damaged.
b.
The equipment has been exposed to moisture.
c.
The enclosure has not work well or you cannot get it work
according to this manual.
d.
The enclosure has been dropped against a hard surface.
e.
The enclosure shows obvious signs of breakage.
