ReadyNAS Desktop Storage Systems
Safety Warnings
1. 
The equipment contains no operator access areas and is certified for ins\
tallation only by 
trained personnel, according to the installation instructions provided w\
ith each unit.
2.  Install the socket outlet near the equipment in an easily accessible loc\
ation.
 
3. Observe the on-board battery precautions.
DANGER:
RISK OF EXPLOSION IF BATTERY IS REPLACED BY AN 
INCORRECT TYPE. DISPOSE OF USED BATTERIES ACCORDING 
TO THEIR INSTRUCTIONS.
4.  Connect the units and their associated LAN connections only to equipment\
 within the same 
building.
5.  Do not use slide or rail-mounted equipment as a shelf or a work space. 
Electrical Safety Precautions
Follow basic electrical safety precautions to protect yourself from harm\
 and the ReadyNAS 
from damage:
•      Be aware of the locations of the power on/off switch on the chassis as w\
ell as the rooms 
emergency power-off switch, disconnection switch, or electrical outlet. \
If an electrical 
accident occurs, you can then quickly remove power from the system.
•     Do not work alone when working with high-voltage components.
•      Always disconnect power from the system when removing or installing main\
 system 
components, such as the main board or memory modules. When disconnecting\
 power, 
first power down the system with the operating system and then unplug th\
e power cords 
of all the power supply units in the system.
•     When working around exposed electrical circuits, ensure that another per\
son who is  familiar with the power-off controls is nearby to switch off the power i\
f necessary.
•     Use only one hand when working with powered-on electrical equipment. Thi\
s is to avoid  making a complete circuit, which will cause electrical shock. Use extrem\
e caution when 
using metal tools, which can easily damage any electrical components or \
circuit boards 
they come into contact with.
•     Do not use mats designed to decrease static electrical discharge as prot\
ection from  electrical shock. Instead, use rubber mats that have been specifically d\
esigned as 
electrical insulators.
•      Use only power supply cords that include a grounding plug and plug them \
into grounded 
electrical outlets.

ReadyNAS Desktop Storage Systems
General Safety Precautions
Follow these rules to ensure general safety:
•     Keep the area around the ReadyNAS clean and free of clutter.
•     
See the technical specifications in this manual for details about your s\
pecific ReadyNAS 
Ultra unit.
•      Replace the on-board battery only with the same battery or an equivalent\
 type of battery 
recommended by the manufacturer. Dispose of used batteries according to \
the 
manufacturers instructions.
DANGER:
Installing the battery upside down reverses its polarities and creates a\
 
danger of explosion. 
•     Main board replaceable soldered-in fuses: Only trained service technicia\
ns can replace  the self-resetting PTC (positive temperature coefficient) fuses on the\
 main board, using 
only new fuses that are the same as or equivalent to the ones being repl\
aced. Contact 
Technical Support for details and support.
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Precautions
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) is generated by two objects with differe\
nt 
electrical charges coming
 into contact with each other. An electrical 
discharge is created to neutralize this difference, which can damage 
electronic components and printed circuit boards. The following measures\
 
are generally sufficient to neutralize this difference before contact is\
 made 
to protect your equipment from ESD:
•     Use a grounded wrist strap designed to prevent static discharge.
•      Keep all components and printed circuit boards (PCBs) in their antista\
tic bags until ready 
for use.
•     Touch a grounded metal object before removing the board from the antista\
tic bag.
•      Do not let components or PCBs come into contact with your clothing, whic\
h might retain a 
charge even if you are wearing a wrist strap.
•      Handle a board by its edges only; do not touch its components, periphera\
l chips, memory 
modules, or contacts.
•     When handling chips or modules, avoid touching their pins.
•     Put the main board and peripherals back into their antistatic bags when \
not in use.
•     For grounding purposes, make sure your computer chassis provides excelle\
nt  conductivity between the power supply, the case, the mounting fasteners \
and the main 
board.
