Circuit Overloading
Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the power supply circuitry
and the effect that any possible overloading of circuits might have on overcurrent protection and
power supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should be used
when addressing this concern.
Reliable Ground
A reliable ground must be maintained at all times. To ensure this, the rack itself should be
grounded. Particular attention should be given to power supply connections other than the direct
connections to the branch circuit (i.e. the use of power strips, etc.).
Electrical Safety Precautions
Basic electrical safety precautions should be followed to protect yourself from harm and the
ReadyNAS 3200 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.
• Power should always be disconnected from the system when removing or installing main
system components, such as the mainboard 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 power cords must include a grounding plug and must be plugged into
grounded electrical outlets.
General Safety Precautions
Follow these rules to ensure general safety:
• Keep the area around the ReadyNAS3200 clean and free of clutter.
