    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 50 kgs 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.2-3Getting Started

     Power Source         Working VoltageThe system can run either on AC 115V (+/10%) or AC 230V        (+/10%) environment.       The system's power supply provide full range AC electricity input      from AC 90Volt to 260Volt.             Warning !      Wrong AC Voltage input will harm the power supply and      cause serious damage to the Disk Array.            This Disk Array is supplied with an AC power cord equipped with       a 3-wire grounding type plug. This is a safety feature and it is      important to only use a 3-wire grounded mains power cord.! This Disk Array must be grounded2-6Getting StartedFigure : Power Source
