Use caution when replacing the battery:
There is a strong risk of explosion if the battery is replaced by an incorrect type.
Dispose of used batteries according to the applicable laws for your region.

Environment

A safe electrical ground connection must be provided to the power cord. Check the grounding of the
enclosure before applying power.
Provide a suitable power source with electrical overload protection to meet the requirements laid down in
the technical specification.
Never expose your device to rain, or use it near water, or in damp or wet conditions. Never place objects
containing liquids on the enclosure, as they may spill into its openings. Doing so increases the risk of
electrical shock, short-circuiting, fire, or personal injury.
Always unplug the device from the electrical outlet if there is a risk of lightning or if it will be unused for an
extended period of time. Otherwise, there is an increased risk of electrical shock, short-circuiting, or fire.
Hot surfaces (heat sinks) are exposed when the enclosure top cover is removed. Disconnect power and
allow the enclosure to cool before working inside the system.
When pulled out from the rack, the enclosure must not be used as a shelf to support any other object.
Caution: Do not remove covers from the PSU: there is a danger of electric shock inside. If the

PSU fails during the warranty period, return it to Seagate.

Fans

Warning:Removing the enclosure cover when the NAS is powered on will reveal moving parts,

specifically the rotating fan blades. You must remain vigilant when opening the enclosure cover.
Above all, show extreme caution with the fans and other moving parts within the 8-bay
Rackmount NAS.
Rack system safety precau ons
The rack cabinet must be capable of supporting the total weight of the installed enclosure(s) and the design
