ReadyNAS OS 6 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.
Page 125
ReadyNAS OS 6 • While working on the system, do not wear loose clothing such as neckties and unbuttoned shirt sleeves, which can come into contact with electrical circuits or be pulled into a cooling fan. • Remove any jewelry or metal objects from your body, which are excellent metal conductors that can create short circuits and harm you if they come into contact with printed circuit boards or areas where power is present.
Page 126
ReadyNAS OS 6 • For grounding purposes, make sure that your computer chassis provides excellent conductivity between the power supply, the case, the mounting fasteners, and the main board. • After accessing the inside of the system, close the system back up and secure it to the rack unit with the retention screws after ensuring that all connections were made.
