Regulatory information
For Europe
This drive is in conformity with the EMC directive.
Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Statement
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class
A digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules.
Those limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can
radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with
the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular
installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or
television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and
on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of
the following measures:
Reorient or relocate the receiving antennas.
Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circlet different from that to which
the receiver is connected.
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Warning:
A shielded-type power cord is required in order to meet FCC emission limits
and also to prevent interference to the nearby radio and television reception. It
is essential that only the supplied power cord be used.
Use only shielded cables to connect I/O devices to this equipment.
You are cautioned that changes or modifications not expressly approved by the
party responsible for compliance could void your authority to operate the
equipment.

What else you need
zHard disk drives (Different JBOD model requires different numbers of HDDs).
zHost computer with SAS interface or Host RAID System with SAS interface
zStatic grounding strap or electrostatic discharge (ESD) safe work area
zDedicated terminal or PC with third party communication software that supports ANSI
terminal emulation (required for viewing Monitor Utility)
The hard drives in a JBOD system should match in size and speed. All
drives in any array should be identical models with the same firmware
version. JBOD system can use any size drive, however the smallest
drive will determine the size of the array.
JBOD system does not require the installation of different drivers for
use with different operating systems. JBOD system is independent and
transparent to the host operating system.
It is often recommended to install the hard drive with same brand,
model no., interface and capacity in this JBOD system.
Please do not install SAS and SATA hard drives at the same time, as
these hard drives spun at different speed and may lead to compatible
issues or performance decline.
