Setup Location

Your ReadyDATA storage system is suitable for use in a space-constrained business
environment, such as a small or remote office, where the storage system can be
freestanding. The small, compact size makes it suitable for sitting on a desk or on a closet
shelf.
Choose a location for your storage system that meets these criteria:
• Cables can be connected easily.
• Water or moisture cannot enter the case.
• Airflow around the storage system and through the vents in the side of the case is not
restricted.
• The air is as free of dust as possible.
• Temperature operating limits are not likely to be exceeded.
• If you are using an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) for protection, the power cable can
be securely and safely connected to the UPS.
