Before you begin, be sure to take the following precautions: 

 

1.  Read and understand the Safety Warnings outlined in the beginning of 

the manual.

static discharge from damaging the sensitive electronic components on the 
1U4500. 

 

3.  Be careful not to use magnetized screwdrivers around the 1U4500’s 

electronic components.

and lock it with a key if desired. 

 

4.  The LED blinks green when the hard disk is accessed. If the Error LED
