The disk drives contained in your LairdShareHD are delicate electronic instruments and are susceptible to
damage due to excessive physical shock. Place the unit in a vented area away from moisture or liquids. Please
handle the unit with care. Do not open the case. Doing so will void the warranty. If the product is returned with
damage caused by improper handling, the warranty will be void and liability will rest with the user.
DO NOT MOVE THE LAIRDSHARE HD WHEN IT IS OPERATING!
Drive failures are likely to occur if the LairdShare is moved while it is running.
Power
The LairdShareHD can be operated on standard AC power, and will switch to most international standards au-
tomatically. The LairdShareHD should be protected by surge suppression and battery backup system. Two bat-
tery backup systems may be used, one on each power supply, to increase protection. If the LairdShareHD
suffers a power outage, data written to it within the last minute or so may be lost.
Temperature
The optimal operating range for the LairdShareHD is between sixty-five and seventy-five degrees Fahrenheit.
More importantly, whatever temperature it runs at must remain reasonably stable. Large temperature swings of
+/- 10 degrees or more on a regular basis will reduce the life expectancy of the disk system. A small confined
space like a closet is therefore a bad choice for running the LairdShareHD.
