Contents Safety Instructions
User Manual Conventions
The Shogun is designed to a high standard but there are some things
you should be aware of to prolong the life of the unit and for your own
safety.
Using the Shogun safely
Although the Shogun is very lightweight compared to all the devices it
replaces, it is still a solid object that could cause injury if misused.
• Always make sure that the Shogun is mounted securely and is unable
to fall onto anyone nearby. This is especially important when there are
children present who might be tempted to pull on cables.
• Always ensure that cable runs to the Shogun are clearly visible and do
not present a trip hazard.
• Do not place on uneven or unstable surfaces.
• Do not insert anything but Shogun Master Disk caddies in the Master
Disk slot on the front of the Shogun.
• Do not touch the Shogun’s screen with sharp, metallic or abrasive objects.
• Donotexposetostrongelectricalormagneticelds.
• Do not expose to or use near liquids, rain or moisture.
• Do not dispose of the Shogun in municipal waste and do not incinerate it,
always follow local regulations for safe disposal.
Care of disk drives
Spinning disks and SSDs are very sensitive to damage from static electricity.
Please observe all the usual ESD precautions when handling them.
Please see the section Mechanical shock and vibration later in this manual
for information about how to handle and care for your disk drives.
SDI Cables
Please remember that SDI cables use locking connectors and will not
simply pull out if they are jerked or tripped over. They are therefore a
signicanttriphazardtoyourequipment,whichmaybedamagedifthe

HDMI cables
Please remember that HDMI cables do not use locking connectors and will
simply pull out if they are jerked or tripped over. Please ensure your cables
