NETGEAR ReadyNAS 3220

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 switch on the chassis and the room's
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 the
power cords of all the power supply storage systems in the system.
•
When working around exposed electrical circuits, make sure that another person
who is familiar with the power-off controls is nearby to switch off the power if
necessary.
•
Use only one hand when working with powered-on electrical equipment. This is to
avoid making a complete circuit, which will cause electrical shock. Use extreme
caution when using metal tools, which can easily damage any electrical components
or circuit boards that they come into contact with.
•
Do not use mats designed to decrease static electrical discharge as protection from
electrical shock. Instead, use rubber mats that were specifically designed as electrical
insulators.
•
Use only power supply cords that include a grounding plug and plug them into
grounded electrical outlets.
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 specific
ReadyNAS storage systems.
•
The ReadyNAS weighs approximately 82 pounds when fully loaded. When lifting
the system, two people at either end should lift slowly with their feet spread out to
distribute the weight. Always keep your back straight and lift with your legs.
•
Place the chassis top cover and any system components that were removed away
from the system or on a table so that they will not accidentally be stepped on.
