Getting Started
Choosing a place for Disk Array
When selecting a place to set up your Disk Array, be sure to follow
the guidelines as below:
Place on a flat and stable surface.
Use a stand that supports at least 50kgs for this Disk Array.
(HDD included )
Place the Disk Array close enough to the computer for the Disk
Array's External SCSI cable to reach it.
Use a grounded wall outlet.
Avoid an electrical outlet controlled by wall switches or
automatic timers. Accidental disruption of the power source
may wipe out data in the memory of your computer or Disk
Array.
Keep the entire system away from potential sources of
electromagnetic interference, such as loudspeakers, cordless
telephones, etc.
Caution !
Avoid direct sunlight, excessive heat, moisture, or dust.
