ReadyNAS 3200 Hardware Manual
1-6 Getting Started
v1.1, July 2009
• The ReadyNAS 3200 weighs approximately 82lbs when fully loaded. When lifting the system,
two people at either end should lift slowly with their feet spread out to distribute the weight.
Always keep your back straight and lift with your legs.
• Place the chassis top cover and any system components that have been removed away from the
system or on a table so that they won't accidentally be stepped on.
• 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.
• Onboard Battery: This battery must be replaced only with the same or an equivalent type
recommended by the manufacturer. Dispose of used batteries according to the manufacturer's
instructions.
• Mainboard replaceable soldered-in fuses: Self-resetting PTC (Positive Temperature
Coefficient) fuses on the mainboard must be replaced by trained service technicians only. The
new fuse must be the same or equivalent as the one replaced. Contact technical support for
details and support.
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Precautions
Electrostatic discharge is generated by two objects with different electrical charges coming into
contact with each other. An electrical discharge is created to neutralize this difference, which can
damage electronic components and printed circuit boards. The following measures are generally
sufficient to neutralize this difference before contact is made to protect your equipment from ESD:
• Use a grounded wrist strap designed to prevent static discharge.
• Keep all components and printed circuit boards (PCBs) in their antistatic bags until ready for
use.
• Touch a grounded metal object before removing the board from the antistatic bag.
• Do not let components or PCBs come into contact with your clothing, which may retain a
charge even if you are wearing a wrist strap.
• Handle a board by its edges only; do not touch its components, peripheral chips, memory
modules or contacts.
• When handling chips or modules, avoid touching their pins.
Danger: There is a danger of explosion if the onboard battery is installed upside
down, which will reverse its polarities.
