Netgear RDD1 – ReadyDATA 516 Disk Packs RDD1LT02, RDD1LT03, RDD1LT04, RDD1SM01 Hardware Manual

Follow these rules to ensure general safety:

Keep the area around the ReadyDATA clean and free of clutter.

See the technical specifications in this manual for details about your specific ReadyDATA 
storage system.

Replace the on-board battery only with the same battery or an equivalent type of battery 
recommended by the manufacturer. Dispose of used batteries according to the 
manufacturer’s instructions.

Installing the battery upside down reverses its polarities and creates a 
danger of explosion. 

Only trained service technicians can replace the soldered-in self-resetting PTC (positive 
temperature coefficient) fuses on the main board, using only new fuses that are the same 
as or equivalent to the ones being replaced. Contact technical support for details and 
support.

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) is generated by two objects with different 
electrical charges coming into contact with each other. An electrical 
discharge is created to neutralize this difference, which can damage 
electronic components and printed circuit boards. The following measures 
are generally sufficient to neutralize this difference before contact is made 
to protect your equipment from ESD:

Use a grounded wrist strap designed to prevent static discharge.

Keep all components and printed circuit boards (PCBs) in their antistatic bags until ready 
for use.

Touch a grounded metal object before removing the board from the antistatic bag.

Do not let components or PCBs come into contact with your clothing, which might retain a 
charge even if you are wearing a wrist strap.

Handle a board by its edges only; do not touch its components, peripheral chips, memory 
modules, or contacts.

When handling chips or modules, avoid touching their pins.

Put the main board and peripherals back into their antistatic bags when not in use.

For grounding purposes, make sure your computer chassis provides excellent 
conductivity between the power supply, the case, the mounting fasteners, and the main 
board.
