User Manual page 3
Only qualified persons are authorized ✦
to carry out maintenance on this de-
vice.
Read this User Manual carefully, and ✦
follow the correct procedure when
setting up the device.
Do not attempt to disassemble or ✦
modify your PCI card. Never insert
any metallic object into the circuitry
to avoid any risk of electrical shock,
fire, short-circuiting or dangerous
emissions. Your PCI card contains no
user-serviceable parts. If it appears to
be malfunctioning, have it inspected
by a qualified LaCie Technical Sup-
port representative.
Never expose your device to rain, or ✦
use it near water, or in damp or wet
conditions. Never place objects con-
taining liquids on the PCI card, as
they may spill onto its circuitry. Do-
ing so increases the risk of electrical
shock, short-circuiting, fire or per-
sonal injury.
Make sure that the computer and PCI ✦
card are electrically grounded. If the
devices are not grounded, there is an
increased risk of electrical shock.
Do not expose the PCI card to tem- ✦
peratures outside the range of 5° C
to 45° C (41° F to 104° F). Doing so
may damage the card or disfigure
its casing. Avoid placing your card
near a source of heat or exposing it
to sunlight (even through a window).
Inversely, placing your card in an en-
vironment that is too cold or humid
may damage the unit.
