Safety precautions
Precautionary measures
To ensure that your Freecom FSG functions properly, please take note of the following
precautions. If these are not followed, you may void your warranty and damage the FSG.
• Do not drop the Freecom FSG or expose it to other kinds of sudden mechanical
shocks as this may result in data loss and damage to the hard drive.
• DonotusetheFreecomFSGwhentheambienttemperatureisbelow10°C orabove45°C.
• If the Freecom FSG is moved from a cool environment to a warmer environment,
please allow the drive to acclimatize to the ambient temperature before operating
the device. Failing to do so may lead to condensation within the drive enclosure,
which in turn may cause the drive to malfunction.
• Do not place liquids or drinks on the FSG. When liquids are spilled and get in contact
with the electronics within the drive enclosure, it will damage the drive and will
cause the drive to malfunction.
• Do not use the FSG in a dusty environment. Dust inside the enclosure may damage
the internal electronics and result in drive malfunction.
• Only use the power adapter that was supplied with the FSG.
• Opening the FSG will void the warranty.

GB Advantages of the Freecom Storage Gateway FSG
The Freecom Storage Gateway is the perfect solution for home and small business use.
Thanks to its fast and easy installation, you are up and running the FSG in no time at all.
With its integrated router function, secure Internet access is child's play. Simply plug in
a DSL modem on the FSG's WAN port and every computer in the network has access to
the Internet immediately. Plus its integrated firewall protects every PC against hackers.
FSG is a combination hard drive, server (3 x LAN, 1 x WLAN) and USB server (4 x USB 2.0
High Speed). This reduces the number of devices you need. Most of the FSG functions
can be used with little previous knowledge.
File server
Save your data centrally on FSG and make it accessible to all PCs in the network.
Web server
Save your websites on the FSG and put them directly online.
FTP server
The built-in FTP server allows you to access data from any PC over the Internet.
LAN router
Network several PCs over the three available LAN ports and access the Internet from any
computer.
USB server
Increase your storage space by attaching additional devices (e.g., external hard-drives)
and let other network devices use this disk space.
USB printer server
Connect a USB printer and use it as your network printer.
Media server
Play multimedia files (films, music, images) on any attached client (for example, the
network media player).
9
GB
Firewall
The integrated firewall protects your data from hackers.
eSATA interface
Connect an external SATA drive such as a hard drive and increase your storage capacity
in the process.
Mail server
Use the mail server to set up an individual e-mail account for each user. Users can get
their e-mails from an e-mail client through the FSG.
PHP & MySQL
Create forums, guestbooks et al. with PHP and MySQL, and add them to your homepage.
Open Source Firmware
You are familiar with Linux and want to add more features to your FSG? No problem.
Firmware is available free of charge and open to modification (The user assumes all risks
relating to any modification he/she may perform.).
