your device in an environment that is too cold may damage the unit.
zAlways unplug the device from the electrical outlet if there is a risk of
lightning or if it will be unused for an extended period of time. Otherwise,
there is an increased risk of electrical shock, short-circuiting or fire.
zUse only the power supply shipped with the device.
zDo not use the device near other electrical appliances such as televisions,
radios or speakers. Doing so may cause interference which will adversely
affect the operation of the other products.
zDo not place the device near sources of magnetic interference, such as
computer displays, televisions or speakers. Magnetic interference can affect
the operation and stability of your device.

Chapter 1 Introduction
Your Muse R-Duo RAID is a high-performance, extremely flexible RAID
(Redundant Array of Independent/Inexpensive Disks) subsystem that is ideally
suited for integration with databases, imaging systems and email and Web
servers.
RAID technology is one of the best means to protect your data, while providing
greater data integrity and availability than standard hard disk storage. With the
ability to provide single error detection and redundant information to recover
the original if a disk fails, a RAID system is an ideal means to safeguard
valuable data while also stream-lining performance.
