For better performance This unit is constructed to allow the HDDs to be installed on 5-inch bay units, but its design does not improve the HDD drop resistance or impact resistance performance. Remember to take extra care when handling the bay units. • The 5-inch bay units are not packed with the storage unit. Give due consideration to the applications for which they will be used, obtain bay units with a sufficient shock and vibration resistance, and install them.
For better performance (continued) Operation Recorded data 1 As shown below, attach the surface fasteners of the front cushion to the bottom of the front panel. If P2 cards or HDDs are damaged, data on them will be lost. Always keep an extra copy of important data on separate media. This unit supports mirror (RAID1) operation. Please consider the worst situation of the operations. Panasonic is not liable for data lost from P2 card or HDD failure or other problems, or for other direct or indirect loss.
For better performance (continued) Precautions when connecting the LAN cable • When connecting the unit to a computer using a LAN cable, attach the two ferrite cores (included) on the LAN cable, one 5–10 cm from the computer LAN port and the other 5–10 cm from the LAN port on the unit. Failure to attach ferrite cores could cause interference with nearby equipment. • After attaching the ferrite cores as shown at right, close them until they click and lock into place.
Basic operations Inserting P2 card When inserting a P2 card into the P2 card slot of the P2 drive provided in the unit, be absolutely sure to position the P2 card parallel to the slot and insert it straight into the drive. • Forcing cards in the slot at an angle may damage P2 card, P2 Drive or this unit. • To prevent cards from falling out, protect the unit from dust, and reduce the risk of exposure to static electricity, remove P2 cards before moving the unit. • Format P2 cards only on a P2 card device.
