Electrical Safety Precautions

Follow basic electrical safety precautions to protect yourself from harm and the ReadyNAS
3100 from damage:
Be aware of the locations of the power on/off switch on the chassis as well as 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.
Do not work alone when working with high voltage components.
•
Disconnect power from the system when removing or installing main system components,
•
such as the main board or memory modules. When disconnecting power, you should first
power down the system with the operating system and then unplug the power cords of all
the power supply units in the system.
When working around exposed electrical circuits, another person who is familiar with the
•
power-off controls should be nearby to switch off the power if necessary.
Use only one hand when working with powered-on electrical equipment. This is to avoid
•
making a complete circuit, which will cause electrical shock. Use extreme caution when
using metal tools, which can easily damage any electrical components or circuit boards
they come into contact with.
Do not use mats designed to decrease static electrical discharge as protection from
•
electrical shock. Instead, use rubber mats that have been specifically designed as
electrical insulators.
The power supply cords must include a grounding plug and must be plugged into
•
grounded electrical outlets.
