When dealing with system components, strictly abide by the instruction manual. Physical contact with the

soldering on the backside of components may cause severe injury.

Only use compatible devices with the system ports, or the system and devices risk being damaged.

Related to damage to the HDD and data:

- during installation or disconnection of the system, ensure that the system does not experience any

external physical shocks.

- During the operation of the HDD, short surges and stoppages of power may cause the system to turn off

and on quickly.

- there may be a sudden stoppage of electricity during operation

- avoid moving the system during operation of the HDD, which may cause external physical shock

- during the conﬁguration of new volumes.

i) if during use, existing volumes are deleted and new volumes are created, data will be lost.

ii) Before conﬁguration of new volumes, each user must back up data, as well as when creating new

volumes, to ensure the possibility of restoration.

– e.g. virus infections.

Always back up hard disk data to avoid accidental data loss.

In the event of the administrator forgetting the password, restoration is impossible. Hence safeguard the

password.

In the event of the cover being removed during operation, the user risks electric shock, injury, and damage

to the system.

When transporting the system, ﬁrst turn off the system and disconnect the unit from the power source.

Sudden tension in cables can cause severe damage to the system. Loose cables can cause injury.

Take caution when handling the system so as not to corrupt the hard disk data.

- Take caution not to bump or expose the system to extreme temperatures, as it may damage the sensitive

hard disk.

- Take caution when turning on the electricity, as during this time any external bumps to the system may

corrupt the hard disk data.

- The manufacturer disclaims all responsibility for loss of hard disk data.
