Points to bear in mind when destroying or
transferring the P2 cards or hard disk drives
Formatting memory cards or hard disk drives
(hereafter "HDDs") or deleting data on them using the
format or delete function on the unit or on a computer
will only change the file management data--it will not
completely delete the data on the memory cards or
HDDs. It is recommended either that the memory
cards or HDDs be physically destroyed or that a data
erasure software program for computers available
on the market be used to completely delete the data
on the memory cards or HDDs. Note that managing
the memory card and HDD data is the owner's
responsibility.

Designed to enable all operations from the touch
panel.
● Supports two HDDs
It is now possible to ensure the safety of the data
thanks to mirroring.
● Network ready
A Gigabit Ethernet LAN (hereafter "Gigabit LAN") port
is provided.
This makes it possible to access the data on the
unit's HDDs over a network.

• Charge the battery with the battery charger before
using it. (For details on the charging methods,
refer to the operating instructions concerned.)
• When replacing the battery plate or installing the
V-mount type adapter plate, consult your dealer.
• When installing the battery plate, take care not to
sandwich or pinch the connecting wires.

(page 38)
● Use of external DC power supply
Make sure that the output voltage of the external DC
power supply meets the rated voltage of the unit before
connecting the power supply.
Inrush current occurs when the unit is turned on,
and insufficient power at this time may damage the
unit. Thus, we recommend using an external DC
power supply rated at least 100 W. Use the DC cable
recommended for the external DC power supply.
• When using an external power supply other
than the AC adapter, check the DC IN socket pin
information to ensure correct polarity. If a +12 V
power supply is accidentally connected to the GND
terminal, this could cause a fire or personal injury.
Rear POWER switch
D
Use this switch to turn the power ON or OFF when
an external DC power supply or battery is used.
• When the switch is ON, the power (about 2W) is
still consumed in idle state. Always turn the power
OFF when the unit is not used.
• If the switch is set to OFF during HDD operations,
it may cause HDD failure. Set the switch OFF after
normal shutdown.

• When using an external DC power supply, make sure
you turn on the external DC power supply before
turning on the unit’s power switch.

For better performance
This unit is constructed to allow the HDDs to be
installed on 5-inch bay units, but its design does not
improve the HDD drop resistance or impact resistance
performance. Remember to take extra care when
handling the bay units.
• The 5-inch bay units are not packed with the storage
unit. Give due consideration to the applications
for which they will be used, obtain bay units with a
sufficient shock and vibration resistance, and install
them.
Shock resistance and vibration resistance
There are cushions on the legs to absorb the vibration.
However, please understand that no guarantee against
damage or failure.
Handling HDDs
The unit is designed for use with typical HDDs
installed. To minimize any risks associated with
HDD damage, loss of data on HDDs, or interrupted
operation, refer to the HDD user manual for
information on installation and use.
• When moving the unit, after setting the rear POWER
switch to OFF be sure to wait until the HDDs stop
rotating (about 2 minutes) before moving the unit to
avoid subjecting the unit to shock or vibration.
(After the unit is turned OFF, HDDs continue spinning
from inertia for a while.)
Moving the unit
When moving the unit, protect the front panel with the
front cushion.

Installation method
1 Attach the magnetic surface of the front
cushion to the upper area of the unit's front
panel, and decide on where the surface
fasteners will be mounted.
Attaching the magnet
Before moving the storage unit, be absolutely sure to
press the EJECT buttons and set it to in position.

2 Peel off the separator of the adhesive tape,
and adhere the cushion to the lower area of
the front panel.
(Continued on next page)

For better performance (continued)
Operation
1 As shown below, attach the surface fasteners
of the front cushion to the bottom of the front
panel.
2 Lift the front cushion and attach it to the top
of the front panel using the magnet.
Place the front cushion magnet
here to secure the cushion.
Recorded data
If P2 cards or HDDs are damaged, data on them will
be lost. Always keep an extra copy of important data
on separate media.
This unit supports mirror (RAID1) operation. Please
consider the worst situation of the operations.
Panasonic is not liable for data lost from P2 card or
HDD failure or other problems, or for other direct or
indirect loss.
Cleaning
Never clean the unit with solvents such as benzene,
thinner, or alcohol.
• Before cleaning, remove the battery or unplug the
unit from the external DC power supply.
• Cleaning the unit with solvents may damage the
external case or cause the paint to peel.
• Use a clean, soft dry cloth to wipe away dust or dirt.
If the unit becomes quite dirty, wipe it with a cloth
dampened in diluted neutral detergent after wringing
the cloth well. Use a dry cloth to wipe it dry.
• If you use a chemically treated dust cloth, follow the
precautions for use.
Before moving the unit, remove the HDDs.
(HDDs may be damaged if the unit is moved with these
drives left in place inside the unit.)
Handling the touch panel
Do not press pointed objects, hard metallic objects, or
objects such as pencils or ballpoint pens against the
touch panel. This may damage the screen.
• If there is any oil or other substance adhering to the
surface of the touch panel, it will not be possible to
conduct operations properly.
• To clean the touch panel, wipe it with a soft cloth.
Do not use benzene, thinner, or similar substances.
12
For better performance (continued)
Precautions when connecting the LAN cable
• When connecting the unit to a computer using a LAN
cable, attach the two ferrite cores
(included) on the LAN cable, one
5–10 cm from the computer LAN port
and the other 5–10 cm from the LAN
port on the unit.
Failure to attach ferrite cores could
cause interference with nearby
equipment.
• After attaching the ferrite cores as
shown at right, close them until they click and lock
into place.
• If a ferrite core moves along the cable and cannot
be fixed in place, attach binders on both sides of the
ferrite core to immobilize it.
Cut the binders with scissors to adjust the length.
• Handle ferrite cores with care. Dropping or subjecting
the cores to impact may break them in two.
• Always use a shielded LAN cable.
Use of external DC power supply
Use an external DC power supply rated at 100 W or
more.
Read the DC power supply user manual carefully
before use.
Always use a shielded DC cable.
Battery pack
Use a battery rated at 100 W or more. Read the
battery user manual carefully before use.

Basic operations
Inserting P2 card
When inserting a P2 card into the P2 card slot of the
P2 drive provided in the unit, be absolutely sure to
position the P2 card parallel to the slot and insert it
straight into the drive.
• Forcing cards in the slot at an angle may damage P2
card, P2 Drive or this unit.
• To prevent cards from falling out, protect the unit
from dust, and reduce the risk of exposure to static
electricity, remove P2 cards before moving the unit.
• Format P2 cards only on a P2 card device.
1 Turn the unit on.
Insert the card with the
logo facing up.
2 Insert a P2 card in a P2 card slot.
When a P2 card is inserted, an icon is displayed on the
control panel.
Also at this time, the P2 CARD ACCESS LED for the
corresponding slot indicates the status of the P2 card.
Ejecting P2 card
1 Press the EJECT button next to the P2 card
slot.
2 After the EJECT button emerges, press it
again to eject the P2 card.
• During access or detection of P2 cards after insertion
(when the P2 CARD ACCESS LED blinks in green),
do not remove the cards. Removing cards during
access may damage them.
• If a P2 card being formatted is removed, it may not
be formatted properly.
• Do not move the unit while the EJECT button is set
to its out position. Doing so may cause damage. Be
sure to press the EJECT button and set it to its in
position first.
