Safety warning
!
Note
Do not place any objects within 15cm of the unit.
The unit reaches high temperatures creating the risk of burn injuries.
When dealing with system components, strictly abide by the instruction manual. Physical contact with the
soldering on the backside of components may cause severe injury.
Only use compatible devices with the system ports, or the system and devices risk being damaged.
Related to damage to the HDD and data:
- during installation or disconnection of the system, ensure that the system does not experience any
external physical shocks.
- During the operation of the HDD, short surges and stoppages of power may cause the system to turn off
and on quickly.
- there may be a sudden stoppage of electricity during operation
- avoid moving the system during operation of the HDD, which may cause external physical shock
- during the configuration of new volumes.
i) if during use, existing volumes are deleted and new volumes are created, data will be lost.
ii) Before configuration of new volumes, each user must back up data, as well as when creating new
volumes, to ensure the possibility of restoration.
– e.g. virus infections.
Always back up hard disk data to avoid accidental data loss.
In the event of the administrator forgetting the password, restoration is impossible. Hence safeguard the
password.
Do not use damaged disks. Product can be damaged.
Do not dismantle or change the structure of the system in any way. This may cause electric shock.
In the event of the cover being removed during operation, the user risks electric shock, injury, and damage
to the system.
When transporting the system, first turn off the system and disconnect the unit from the power source.
Sudden tension in cables can cause severe damage to the system. Loose cables can cause injury.
Take caution when handling the system so as not to corrupt the hard disk data.
- Take caution not to bump or expose the system to extreme temperatures, as it may damage the sensitive
hard disk.
- Take caution when turning on the electricity, as during this time any external bumps to the system may
corrupt the hard disk data.
- The manufacturer disclaims all responsibility for loss of hard disk data.

To create a new password, the system must be re-initialized. In this case, all data will be lost, and data
recovery will be impossible, for security reasons. The manufacturer disclaims all responsibility in the event
of this occurrence.

Safety warning

Warning
Do not use damaged electrical cords. This may cause electric shock, and is a fire hazard.
Always check and use correct voltage to avoid electric shock, severe damage to the system, and fire.
Use a grounded cord and grounded socket to avoid electric shock and damage to components.
Ensure that electrical cords are correctly plugged into the sockets to avoid fire.
Ensure that electrical cords are not damaged or do not have heavy objects placed on them. Keep electrical
cords away from children and pets. Damaged cords may cause electrical shock or fire.
Do not handle the electrical cord with wet hands, as this may cause shock and injury.
When removing the plug from the socket, ensure that the plug is handled and not the cord. Otherwise this
may cause damage to the plug and even fire.
Always use grounded cords and grounded sockets with correct capacity (voltage / current) to avoid the
danger of damage, electric shock, and injury.
In the event of noise emanating from the electrical cords or sockets, to avoid fire and injury immediately
disconnect, and contact the service centre.

Keep the power cords and sockets clean at all times to avoid fire and electrical shock.
In the event of moisture entering the system, immediately disconnect the power and contact the service
centre, to avoid the danger of system damage, electrical shock, and fire.
Do not block vents, as this will cause system damage.
Prior to cleaning the system, always disconnect the power, to avoid damage and electric shock.
In the event of lighting and thunderstorms, immediately physically disconnect the system from any power
source, to avoid damage to the system.
In the event of dropping the system, contact the service centre for advice and possible service. Not doing
this creates the risk of damage, fire and electric shock.
Keep the system away from direct sunlight to avoid overheating, and melting of the case, which may
eventuate in fire and injury.
Do not place flammable objects, candles or cigarettes on the system, as this may cause fire
In the event of a burning smell or smoke emanating from the system, immediately disconnect the power,
and contact the service centre.
Keep heating devices and other electrical components at a distance from the system to avoid case melt-
ing, and hence the danger of damage, fire, and electric shock.
Before disassembling the system, always ensure physical disconnection of the electrical cable from the
socket.

lowing any parts, such as screws, immediately seek medical treatment.
Ensure that there are no loose or exposed metallic objects inside the case, to avoid the danger of damage,
fire and electric shock.
Ensure that multipoint power sockets are not overloaded, to avoid the danger of fire and electric shock.
Ensure that cords are always neatly arranged and are not trapped under the system or other heavy objects.
When connecting and disconnecting the electrical cord, take care in handling the socket to avoid the

In case of a simple back-up when the same storage device is backed up more than
several times, all of the data that is backed up at the latest are saved in Last Backup
folder. When you back-up more than twice on the same date, serial number is at-
tached at the back of the date. In a folder that is created for the first time, all of the
data of an external storage device are saved. In folders created afterwards, added
folders and files when compared to the data backed up at the latest are saved.
service/backup/usb Name of the manufacturer of the storage device, serial
number/type of file back-up/dates on which the folder
is created
Folder name is automatically created as in the following.

Mode switch that is located at the back side of Network Storage supports 3
functions to NAS. These functions are external HDD / NAS / external ODD.
12
3 - 1. Mode switch Mode switch set-up
A
You can use as Network Storage on ‘NAS’
mode.
※ Mode change while using ‘NAS’mode
On ‘EX. HDD’ mode, you can connect
Network Storage and PC using USB
cable, and use it as an external hard disk.
B
1. Mode switch set-up
Cautions
On ‘EX. ODD’ mode, you can use Net-
work Storage and PC, and use it as an
external ODD (optical storage device).
If you change the switch into different mode before a buzzer beeps, switch function
might not be efficient.
If you change the switch during an operation, the pertinent operation fails and the
pertinent mode switch function is performed. For example, if you change the mode
switch on NAS mode during web burning, back-up or x-hdd format, a pertinent
operation may fail or malfunction.
※
※
Cautions when using external HDD / ODD
A maximum capacity of external HDD and external ODD supports at USB 2.0.
※

A function of an external HDD is to connect an internal HDD of Network Stor-
age to user PC with USB cable, then use it as an external HDD.
13
3 - 2. Mode switch Connecting an external HDD
1. Connecting
A
Have a mode switch on a location of EX. HDD.
Once a preparation of a functioning action is
completed, a pertinent function icon at the front
of Network Storage lights up and buzzer beeps.
B
Please confirm as to whether an external hard
disk drive is recognized within my computer of
the user PC.
Please plug in an USB cable to an USB port at
the back side of Network Storage, and an USB
port of an user PC so that they are connected.

Checking methods of as to whether an external HDD is recognized or not
are as follows in accordance with operating systems.
※ A file system of an external HDD is initialized to NTFS. In Macintosh only NTFS
reading is supported therefore you need to install a separate utility to write NTFS.
If you format with FAT32, a problem might be generated when you return to NAS
mode later on.
