NOTE:

Filler brackets must be installed over empty expansion card slots to maintain Federal Communications Commission (FCC) certification of the

system. The brackets also keep dust and dirt out of the system and help keep the system properly cooled by promoting airflow inside the system.

NOTE:

When you turn on the system, press the power button for less than two seconds. If you press the power button for longer than 3 seconds,

the NAS system shuts down.

CAUTION:

See your System Information Guide for complete information about safety precautions, working inside the computer, and protecting

against electrostatic discharge.
