IOGear BOSS GNS1000 - Manual (Page 72)

Care & Handling
Your IOGEAR ® BOSS™ is a high performance Network Server Appliance. The head that reads the
information on the installed Hard Drive is a fragile piece of technology. Therefore, care must be taken not
to bump the BOSS™ while it is operating. Care must also be taken not to bump the BOSS™ excessively
when the drive is turned off.
To insure maximum reliability of the BOSS™, please follow the guidelines listed below:
• DO NOT block the air circulation around the vents of the BOSS™.
• DO NOT move or bump the BOSS™ while it is operating.
• Keep all cables out of aisles and off desktops where they can be hooked and pulled.
• Keep the BOSS™ firmly secured in the shipping container when shipping the drive.
• Keep the environment around the drive clean and free of excessive dust and chemicals.
• Use a damp cloth to clean the BOSS™. NEVER put cleansers directly on the BOSS™ case.
• Use surge protectors with the BOSS™.
• DO NOT expose the BOSS™ to extreme temperatures.
• DO NOT expose the BOSS™ to direct sun light for extended periods of time.
• DO NOT get the BOSS™ wet.
• DO NOT place the BOSS™ in an area with an excessive amount of dirt.
