ReadyNAS Desktop Storage Systems
Choosing a Setup Location
Your ReadyNAS desktop unit 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 unit that meets these criteria:
•
Cables can be connected easily.
•
Water or moisture cannot enter the case.
•
Airflow around the unit and through the vents in the side of the case is not restricted.
•
The air is as free of dust as possible.
•
Temperature operating limits are not likely to be exceeded.
•
If you are using an uninterruptable power supply (UPS) for protection, the power cable
can be securely and safely connected to the UPS.
