Operating instructions
4.5 Power adapter
Do not modify or repair mains supply components including mains plugs, mains
cables, and power supplies. Do not use damaged components. Risk of death by
electric shock!
■
Connect the appliance to a wall socket that can be accessed easily.
■
As power supply, only use the supplied mains adaptor.
■
Only connect the power adaptor to a normal mains socket connected to the public sup-
ply. Before plugging in the power adaptor, check whether the voltage stated on the
power adaptor complies with the voltage of your electricity supplier.
■
Never connect or disconnect power adaptors if your hands are wet.
■
Never unplug the power adaptor from the mains socket by pulling on the cable; always
use the grips on the plug.
■
For safety reasons, disconnect the power adaptor from the mains socket during storms.
■
Do not touch the power adapter if there are any signs of damage, as this may cause a
fatal electric shock! Take the following steps:
– Switch off the mains voltage to the socket containing the power adapter (switch off the
corresponding circuit breaker or remove the safety fuse, and then switch off the cor-
responding RCD protective switch).
– Unplug the power adapter from the mains socket.
– Use a new power adapter of the same design. Do not use the damaged adapter
again.
■
Ensure that cables are not pinched, kinked or damaged by sharp edges.
■
Always lay cables so that nobody can trip over or become entangled in them. This poses
a risk of injury.
4.6 Connected devices
■
Also observe the safety and operating instructions of any other devices which are con-
nected to the product.
4.7 Electrostatic discharge (ESD)
■
Ensure suitable protective measures are taken against static charge (e.g. ground strap,
non-conductive pad, etc.) when touching or inserting the SSD modules.
■
Only grasp the SSD modules on the side of the circuit board, do not touch the compon-
ents on the circuit board. Electrostatic discharges can destroy the SSDs.
