Safety Information

The following instructions help ensure personal safety and environmental safety. Read these instructions carefully before performing any operations.

General Instructions

The NAS should be stored in a secure location with restricted access, controlled through the use of a tool, lock and key, or any means of security.

Only qualified, skilled, and authorized persons with knowledge of all restrictions, safety precautions, and installation and maintenance procedures should have physical access to the NAS.

To avoid potential injury or damage to components, ensure that the drives and other internal system components have cooled before touching them.

Observe electrostatic discharge (ESD) procedures to avoid potential injury or damage to components.

Power

To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, ensure that you only connect the power cord to a properly grounded electrical outlet.

The device may have one or more power supply unit (PSU) cords. To avoid serious injuries, a trained service technician must disconnect all PSU cords before installing or replacing system components.

System Battery

To avoid potential battery explosion, causing injury or damage to components, ensure that you replace the existing battery with a battery of the same type.

Product Overview 9

TS-x31P3 User Guide

Dispose of used batteries properly according to local regulations or the instructions of the battery manufacturer.

Moving Parts
