CAUTION！
Wheninstallingadevice,ensurethatthedeviceandthemarklineonthesquareholestriponthecabinet
areproperlyalignedin1U.Otherwise,youarenotallowedtoinstalltherack‐mountingearscrews.
Iftherack‐mountingearscrewsareforciblyinstalledwithoutthealigningprocedure,agapexistsbetween
thedeviceandthetrayandthedeviceishangingoverthesquareholestrip.Consequently,thedeviceis
unstable,therebyaffectingstabilityoftheharddisks.Iftheharddisksarerunningforalongtimeinsuch
situation,manyproblems,suchasahighread‐and‐writeerrorrateandahighdamagerate,willarise.
