COLDSTORE Compact Quick Start Guide 

B)  Safety Instructions 

 
These safety instructions are important and are provided to help prevent equipment damage and 
injury to the installers and operators of the system.  Please read and understand all of these 
instructions before connecting and switching on the product. 
 

 

Do not use a damaged power cable with the product.  If the cable is cut, damaged, severely 

twisted, or if the plug is loose, replace the power cable with a new one.

 

 

 

Do not place liquids (e.g. tea, coffee etc.) on top of the product.  Specifically do not spill any 

liquids onto or into the product.  If this happens, immediately switch off the power at the wall 
outlet and disconnect all cables from the unit.

 

 

 

Do not handle the product or the power cable with wet hands.  This could result in electric 

shock and even death.

 

 

 

Do not insert any items into the air vents or openings anywhere on the unit, especially the 

power supply unit.  To do so may cause damage to fans and other components, may cause the 
system to malfunction and may result in electric shock and even death.

 

 

 

The product can be heavy with a full load of disk drives.  If the product is to be wall-mounted, 

it is highly recommended that the unit is installed with a good-quality VESA-style mount and that 
the disk are inserted after wall-mounting.

   

 

 

Ensure that the product is securely held at all times as dropping the product will almost 

certainly damage it (possibly beyond repair) and more importantly, may cause severe personal 
injury, especially to hands and feet.  Extreme caution is essential. 

 

 

Do not move the system once powered up.  To do so may result in damage to the disks and 

potential loss of data.
