Avoiding Damage

Avoid shock and vibration
Environmental considerations
Proper ventilation
• Be sure to use only 100-240 V AC.
• Avoid plugging into the same outlet as high-current equipment like copiers
or shredders.
• Do not crush the cable or place heavy items on it. If the cable insulation
appears worn or broken, do not use the cable.
• Always unplug the cable by holding the plug. Never pull the cable itself, as
it will break.
• If the drive is not being used for a long time, unplug the cable from the
outlet.
Intense shock, such as from dropping the drive, will damage it.
Do not store or use the drive in locations subject to:
• high humidity
• high temperature
• direct sunlight
To avoid overheating, install the drive where it will have free air circulation
around the case, and do not cover it during operation. The drive can
malfunction if the internal temperature rises too high.
• excessive dust
• intense vibration
• sudden changes in temperature
