Planning for installation
Before installing your appliance, remove plastic cover sheet from the top of the appliance.
Select an appropriate location using the following guidelines:
■
Smooth and level surface
Place the appliance on a smooth and level surface, such as the top of a computer table. Make sure that
the area is clear of dust and debris.
■
Plenty of air circulation
Ensure that there is adequate space (at least 1 inch) on all sides of the appliance to allow for air
circulation to cool the machine. Never place objects or paper on top of the appliance.
■
Proper power source
Install the appliance near a power source that is adequate and near enough the appliance that the
power cord is not strained, stretched, or in danger of coming unplugged.
■
Appliance and cables away from high-traffic areas
Install the appliance in an area that is out of the way of foot traffic.
■
Prepare the appliance
Remove the plastic cover sheet from the top of the appliance.
Note:
On the left side and bottom of the appliance is a seal with the Symantec logo, certification logos,
country where the unit was manufactured, the MAC address of the LAN card, and a unique bar-coded serial
number. Breaking this seal or opening the appliance in any way voids your warranty.
