washbowl, kitchen sink, laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool).

7. Provide Adequate Ventilation: Drobo, DroboPro, DroboElite, Drobo FS, Pro FS, B800i, and B800fs should each be situated so that its location or position does not 

interfere with its proper ventilation. For example, Drobo should not be situated against a surface that may block the ventilation openings or placed in a built-in 
installation such as a bookcase or cabinet that may impede the flow of air through the ventilation openings. Additionally, no other device other than a Drobo 
should be placed on top of DroboShare.

8. Protect from Heat: Drobo, DroboPro, DroboElite, Drobo FS, Pro FS, B800i, and B800fs  should be situated away from heat sources such as radiators, heat 

registers, stoves, or other appliances (including amplifiers) that produce heat.

9. Protect Power Cords: Power supply cords should be routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them, paying 

particular attention to cords and plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point at which they exit from the product.

10. Avoid Object and Liquid Entry: Never push objects of any kind into Drobo, DroboPro, DroboElite, Drobo FS, Pro FS, B800i, and B800fs  ventilation slots except 

drives compliant with the User Guide as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short the parts, resulting in the risk of fire or electric shock. Never spill 
liquid of any kind onto Drobo.

13. DRIVES IN DROBO, DROBOPRO, DROBOELITE, DROBO FS, PRO FS, B800i, AND B800fs WILL RETAIN HEAT AFTER USE. PLEASE USE CAUTION WHEN 

REMOVING DRIVES FROM DROBO, DROBOPRO, OR DROBOELITE. TO SAFELY REMOVE DRIVES, PRESS THE DRIVE LATCH TO RELEASE THE DRIVE AND 
ALLOW THE DRIVE TO COOL IN THE DATA BAY FOR 10 MINUTES BEFORE COMPLETELY REMOVING THE DRIVE FROM DROBO, DROBOPRO, OR DROBOELITE. 
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THIS PROCEDURE MAY RESULT IN INJURY FROM HOT DRIVES.

14. Damage Requiring Service: Drobo, DroboPro, DroboElite, Drobo FS, Pro FS, B800i, and B800fs  should be serviced by an employee of Data Robotics, Inc. or a

B800fs.

Servicing –

the FAQ section of this manual, the Troubleshooting sections of the Help Files, or the support Knowledge Base. All other servicing should be referred to qualified 
service personnel. 

Cleaning – 

Unplug Drobo, DroboPro, DroboElite, Drobo FS, Pro FS, B800i, or B800fs  from the wall outlet before cleaning. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners; 

use a damp cloth. If Drobo, DroboPro, DroboElite, Drobo FS, Pro FS, B800i, or B800fs comes in contact with any liquid, unplug the power adaptor and let Drobo dry 
thoroughly before plugging back in. 

Power Source

 

 Drobo, DroboPro, DroboElite, Drobo FS, Pro FS, B800i, or B800fs should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the marking 

label or in this User Guide. If you are not sure of the type of power supplied to your home or business, consult your local power company.

Overloaded

 

Power Outlets

 

 Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords, this can result in risk of fire or electric shock.

Electric

 

Shock

 

 To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble Drobo, DroboPro, DroboElite, DroboFS, ProfS, B800i or B800fs. Doing so will void the 

warranty. Take it to a quailed service person when service or repair work is required. Opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other 
risks. Incorrect reassembly can cause electric shock when Drobo is used.

Moving – 

Avoid moving Drobo, DroboPro, DroboElite, DroboFS, ProfS, B800i or B800fs while it is plugged in to avoid shock and vibration damage to the installed 

hard disk drives.

Electrostatic

 

Discharge

 

-

 The components inside your Drobo and disk drives are sensitive to static electricity, also known as electrostatic discharge. Before you 

install any disk drive, we recommend that you do the following: 1) Avoid static-
causing surfaces such as carpeted floors, plastic, and packing foam; 2) Discharge yourself by touching an unpainted metal surface such as a desk or rack mount; 
3) Remove disk drives from their antistatic bags only when you are ready to use them. Be sure to follow any additional recommendations that the disk drive 
manufacturers provides.

Repair

 

Technician

 

Warning!

 

-

 Before opening the DroboPro or DroboElite unit or removing the power supply assembly, the AC cord MUST be unplugged from the 

outside of the unit and the unit must be unpowered. The System Earthing connections of the internal AC cable must not be removed if the system is powered on 
for service access.
