Chapter 3: Customizing Your NAS

Before you install any computer component, we recommend that you read the 
following sections. These sections contain important ESD precautions along 
with pre-installation and post-installation instructions.

The components inside your computer are extremely sensitive to static 
electricity, also known as electrostatic discharge (ESD).

Before opening the case, follow these guidelines:

■

Turn off your NAS.

■

Wear a grounding wrist strap (available at most electronics stores) and 
attach it to a bare metal part of your computer.

■

Touch a bare metal surface on the back of the computer.

■

Unplug the power cord and the network cables.

Before working with computer components, follow these guidelines:

■

Avoid static-causing surfaces such as carpeted floors, plastic, and packing 
foam.

■

Remove components from their antistatic bags only when you are ready 
to use them. Do not lay components on the outside of antistatic bags 
because only the inside of the bags provide electrostatic protection.

ESD can permanently damage electrostatic 
discharge-sensitive components in your NAS. Prevent 
ESD damage by following ESD guidelines every time you 
open the case.

To avoid exposure to dangerous electrical voltages and 
moving parts, turn off your NAS and unplug the power cord 
and network cables before opening the case.
