Setup Location
Your ReadyNAS storage system is suitable for use in a home or small office environment
where it can be freestanding. The small, compact size makes it suitable for sitting on a desk
or on a closet shelf.
Choose a location for your storage system that meets these criteria:
•
Cables can be connected easily.
•
Water or moisture cannot enter the case.
•
Airflow around the storage system and through the vents in the side of the case is not
restricted.
•
The air is as free of dust as possible.

can be securely and safely connected to the UPS.
