Cleaning your Home Server
Be sure to turn off your Home Server and
disconnect the power cord before cleaning.
Use a dry cloth to wipe off dust.
Be sure to use a dry, soft cloth to clean your
Home Server. If you find it difficult to clean,
blow on the spot and rub with a dry cloth; or
wipe with a slightly moistened cloth and then
use a dry cloth to wipe away the moisture.
Do not use any solvents, such as benzene,
acetone, alcohol, or thinner, as it will damage
the finish on your Home Server.
Be sure to read the instructions before using a
chemical cloth.
Unplug the power cord and connection
cables before moving your Home Server.
Moving your Home Server with the power cord
and other cables connected may damage the
cables, resulting in a fire or an electric shock. It
may also cause personal injuries by knocking
down devices connected to your computer. Take
extra care not to drop your computer.
Make sure that connectors are firmly
plugged.
Do not drop metal debris into a receptacle, as it
may cause a short circuit, resulting in a fire.
Plug a connector straight into a receptacle to
avoid a short circuit and a possible fire.
If the connector is equipped with tabs or screws
for securing, be sure to tighten them to avoid
loose connection.
Before Disposing of Your
Home Server
Before disposing of your Home Server, be sure to
erase your valuable data.
The Home Server Settings Page provides a way to
restore the state of the Home Server at the time of
delivery. You can click “Restore system” on the
Reset page to restore the system settings and
delete all the data you previously stored. This
process, however, only changes the management
data on the hard disk drive to make the stored
data disabled for access from the operating
system, Linux for example, and does not really
erase the data. If you dispose of your Home Server
in this state, therefore, a third person could access
and restore your data with special software; and
then use it for unethical purposes.
It is crucial that you completely erase your data on
the hard disk drive at your own risk before
disposing of your Home Server to avoid
information leaks.
To completely erase your data, expose the hard
disk drive to magnetic fields to destroy the data on
the drive and then physically destroy the drive.
