1.3 Warnings and Notices
Please read the following before beginning installation.
1.3.1 General Care
• Proper grounding is strongly recommended to
prevent electrical damage to the unit or other
connected devices, including the computer host.
Avoid all dramatic movement, tapping on the unit,
and vibration.
• Avoid placing the unit close to magnetic devices,
high voltage devices, or near a heat source. This
includes any place where the product will be subject
to direct sunlight. Do NOT allow water to make
contact with the unit.
• Before starting any type of hardware installation,
please ensure that all power switches have
been turned off and all power cords have been
disconnected to prevent personal injury and damage
to the hardware.
• To avoid overheating, the unit should be operated in a
well-ventilated area.
• Remove the drives before transporting the unit to
prevent damage to the drive interfaces.
1.3.3 Encryption (RTX Secure Models Only)
• Though the Security Key port is mechanically identical
to the standard Mini-USB port, inserting Security Keys
into any other Mini-USB port may damage the keys
and render them useless. Please only use Security
Keys in RTX products.
• Likewise, inserting a Mini-USB cable or other device
into the unit’s Security Key port on the carrier may
cause internal damage and potentially lead to loss of
data.
