Safety Guidelines
Power Source
Safety Handling
To comply with applicable safety, emission, and thermal requirements, install all drives and empty drive trays according to the instructions in Hard Drive Maintenance.
Permanently unplug the unit if you think that it has become damaged in any way.
You must shut down and disconnect power from the Personal Cloud 2-Bay before maintenance or physical troubleshooting is performed on the device.
Shut down and unplug the unit before moving it.
Safety
Power Supply
The Personal Cloud 2-Bay must only be operated from a power supply input voltage range of 100 - 240 VAC, 50 to 60 Hz.
The drive’s power supply is not serviceable or replaceable. If Seagate technical support has determined that the power supply is faulty or has failed and the unit is under warranty, return the Personal Cloud 2-Bay to Seagate per the instructions provided by the Seagate technician.
Environment
Make sure that the electrical connection to the power cord is grounded.
Provide a suitable power source with electrical overload protection to meet the requirements of the technical specification.
Never expose your device to rain, use it near water, or use it in damp or wet conditions. Never place objects containing liquids on the enclosure, because liquid could spill into its openings. Doing so increases the risk of electrical shock, short-circuiting, fire, or personal injury.
Always 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.
Do not use the Personal Cloud 2-Bay as a shelf to support any other object.
Personal Cloud 2-Bay Placement
Place your Personal Cloud 2-Bay on a surface that is capable of supporting its weight, including the hard drives and accessories attached to the Personal Cloud 2-Bay ports. Make sure the Personal Cloud 2-Bay is placed securely and cannot tip or be pushed over. Do not stack items on it. Doing so can prevent proper airflow and affect operation.
The maximum ambient temperature during operation is 40°C or 104°F.
The power connection must have a safe electrical distribution system and provide overcurrent protection.
The power supply unit has a ground leakage current of 3.5mA. The design of the electrical distribution system must take into consideration the total ground leakage current from all the power supplies in all the units.
Data Security
Any loss, corruption, or destruction of data while using a Seagate hard drive or a hard drive system is the sole responsibility of the user. Under no circumstances will Seagate be held liable for the recovery or restoration of this data. To help prevent the loss of your data, Seagate highly recommends that you keep TWO copies of your data: one copy on your Personal Cloud 2-Bay, and a second copy on one of the following:
- Direct-attached storage (DAS)
- Another NAS device
- Cloud storage
- Some form of removable storage or archival media
