Important Reminders for the RAID System

The main circuit board of the RAID System is susceptible to static electricity. Proper

grounding is required to prevent electrical damage to the RAID System or other

connected devices, including the computer host. Always place the RAID System on

a smooth surface and avoid all dramatic movement, vibration and percussion.

Do NOT allow water to enter the RAID System.

The operating system may NOT detect the RAID System if it does not support the

interface of your device. If so, installation of an appropriate driver, firmware, or

additional equipment in the host computer may be required. Visit our website to

download the latest software, firmware and product information updates.
