Important Safety Instructions, Care and Handling
Before starting, take a few minutes to read this manual. Read all of these instructions and save this manual for later reference.
Protect the disk array system from extremely high or low temperatures. Let the disk array system warm (or cool) to room temperature before using it.
Protect the disk array system from being bumped or dropped. Do not place the disk array system on an unstable cart, stand, or table. It may fall, causing serious damage to the product.
Keep the disk array system away from magnetic forces.
Do not use the disk array system near water.
Keep the disk array system away from dust, sand, or dirt.
Gaps and openings in the cabinet are provided for venti­lation. Never block or cover these openings, because the disk array system may overheat and become unreli­able. Don’t place the disk array system on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface.
Do not place the disk array system near or over a radia­tor or heat register.
Refer to the rating plate for the correct voltage and ensure that the appliance voltage corresponds to the supply voltage.

Preface – Important Safety Instructions, Care and Handling
The appliance must be grounded. The disk array system is equipped with a 3-wire grounded type of power cord. This power cord will only fit into a grounded type of power outlet.
If an extension cord or a power center is used with the disk array system, make sure that the total current con­sumption of all products plugged into the wall outlet does not exceed the ampere rating.
Do not place the disk array system where the cord will be walked on.
Never push any kind of object into the disk array system through cabinet gaps and openings, since they may touch dangerous voltage points and cause a risk of fire or electric shock.
Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet before clean­ing. Keep the disk array system dry. Do not use liquid cleaners, aerosol cleaners, or a wet cloth. Use a damp cloth for cleaning.
Except as specifically explained in this User Manual, do not attempt to service the disk array system by yourself. Opening or removing the covers may expose you to dangerous voltages.
Unplug this product from the wall outlet and refer servic­ing to qualified service personnel under the following conditions.
• If the disk array system has been exposed to water or any liquid.
• If the disk array system has been dropped or the cabinet damaged.
User should not remove the cover.
Disconnect all power supply cords before servicing.

Preface – Important Safety Instructions, Care and Handling
Placement Notes
• The disk array system LCD panel can be damaged by exposure to direct sunlight. Limit exposure to subdued or indirect sunlight only.
• The disk array system should be used only in clean environments that are free from airborne contaminants such as dust, dirt, and smoke. Excessive moisture or oil particles in the air can also hinder disk array system performance.
• To reduce the possibility of data errors caused by electromagnetic interference, locate the disk array system at least five feet away from electrical appliances and equipment that generates magnetic fields.
Power Supply Safety Notes
• To avoid electric shocks, do not use an extended power cord or an outlet that does not match the disk array system plug or leaves the plug exposed.
• The disk array system has a 3-wire grounded plug. The third pin connects to ground; do not remove it.
• If the power cord or plug is damaged or worn, unplug it immediately and contact a qualified service technician for maintenance.
• To avoid fire or electric shocks, do not overload electric power out­lets.
