Important Information About Installation
Locations for use/storage
To prolong the life of the product, avoid use or storage
in the following locations.
• Locations that can become extremely hot or cold. (Be
sure to use the unit that conforms fully to the
specifications of this unit.)
• Locations exposed for an extended time to direct
sunlight, and locations near heating appliances. (Note
that the temperature in a closed car in summer can
exceed +50 ºC/+122 ºF.)
• Locations with high levels of humidity or dust
• Locations subject to strong vibrations
• Locations subject to strong magnetic fields
• Locations in the vicinity of radio or TV transmitters
creating a strong magnetic field
Do not block the ventilation openings
• The ventilation openings on the sides of the unit serve
to prevent internal heat buildup. Always leave a
clearance of at least 10 cm (4 inches) on both sides as
well as behind and above the unit.
• Do not use the unit in a closed box or other enclosure.
• Make sure that there are no cables or other objects in
the vicinity of the fan opening on the rear of the unit.
If the opening is blocked, internal heat buildup can
occur, leading to the risk of fire and damage.
• Also when the unit is installed in a rack, you must
make sure that the fan opening on the rear as well as
the ventilation openings on the front are not blocked
by cables or other objects. Do not install the unit in an
environment where the above requirements cannot be
met.
Use the unit in a horizontal position
• The unit is designed to be operated in a horizontal
position.
• Do not install the unit on a slanted surface, and protect
the unit from shocks.
• When the unit is dropped or otherwise subject to
strong shocks, it can be seriously damaged.
• When installing the unit in a rack, make sure that a
horizontal position is maintained. If the unit is not
properly levelled, malfunction may occur. Also, it is
highly recommended to properly anchor the rack to a
wall or similar, so that it cannot topple over.
Maintenance
• Before cleaning the unit or performing any other kind
of maintenance, be sure to disconnect the power cord
from the AC outlet.
• For cleaning, lightly wipe the cabinet and panels with
a dry cloth. To remove stubborn stains, lightly moisten
the cloth with a mild, neutral detergent and wipe with
a dry cloth afterwards.
• Do not use cleaning alcohol, solvents, benzine,
insecticide, or any other volatile substances, because
these may damage the finish and lead to discoloration.
• Dust can accumulate in the ventilation openings on the
front of the unit. When removing the dust, make sure
that you do not subject the unit to shocks or vibrations.
Transport
Use the original packing material or similar packing to
protect the unit from shocks.
Precautions for products with built-in
HDD
This unit has a built-in hard disk drive (HDD). The HDD
is a precision device. If subject to shock, vibration, static
electricity, high temperature or humidity, data loss can
occur. When installing and using the unit, closely
observe the following precautions.
Protect from shocks and vibrations
When subject to shocks or vibrations, the HDD can be
damaged and loss of data on the HDD can occur.
• When transporting the unit, use the specified packing
material. When transporting on a dolly or similar, use
a type which does not transmit excessive vibrations.
Excessive shocks and vibrations can damage the
HDD.
• Never move the unit while it is powered. Also before
removing or inserting the unit in a rack, make sure that
power is off.
• Protect all HDD-equipped devices in the rack from
shocks.
