NETGEAR ReadyNAS OS 6 Rack-Mount Storage Systems Additional Documentation For detailed information about configuring, managing, and using your ReadyNAS storage system, see the ReadyNAS OS 6.4 Software Manual, which is available at http://support.netgear.com/product/ReadyNAS-OS6. For additional product support information, visit http://support.netgear.com/product/ReadyNAS-OS6. Setup Location Your ReadyNAS storage system is intended for installation in a restricted access location (dedicated equipment rooms, service closets, and the like) only. Keep the following considerations in mind as you install your system: • Ambient operating temperature. If the system is installed in a closed or multiunit rack assembly, the ambient operating temperature of the rack environment might be greater than the ambient temperature of the room. Therefore, consider installing the equipment in an environment compatible with the maximum rated ambient temperature. See Appendix A, Defaults and Technical Specifications. • Reduced airflow. Mount the equipment into a rack so that the amount of airflow required for safe operation is not compromised. • Mechanical loading. Mount the equipment into a rack so that a hazardous condition does not arise due to uneven mechanical loading. • Circuit overloading. Consider the equipment's connection to the power supply circuitry and the effect that any possible overloading of circuits might create on overcurrent protection and power supply wiring. Consider equipment nameplate ratings when addressing this concern. • Reliable grounding. This product requires reliable grounding to be maintained at all times. To ensure this, ground the rack itself. Pay particular attention to power supply connections other than the direct connections to the branch circuit (for example, the use of power strips). • Clearance. Leave enough clearance in front of the rack (about 25 inches) to enable you to open the front door completely and in the back of the rack (about 30 inches) to allow for sufficient airflow and ease in servicing.
