Part 4. Care and Maintenance Taking Care of the Drive Safety Considerations ■ Power • Be sure to use only 100 V - 240 V AC. • Avoid plugging into the same outlet as high-current equipment like copiers or shredders. ■ Power Cable Precautions • Do not crush the cable or place heavy items on it. If the cable insulation appears worn or broken, do not use the cable. • Always unplug the cable by holding the plug. Never pull the cable itself, as it will break. • If the drive is not being used for a long time, unplug the cable from the outlet. Avoiding Damage ■ Avoid shock and vibration Intense shock, such as from dropping the drive, will damage it. ■ Environmental considerations Do not store or use the drive in locations subject to: • high humidity • excessive dust • high temperature • intense vibration • direct sunlight • sudden changes in temperature ■ Proper ventilation To avoid overheating, install the drive where it will have free air circulation around the case, and do not cover it during operation. The drive can malfunction if the internal temperature rises too high. 30 Part 4. Care and Maintenance
