Electrostatic Discharge

- The components inside your Drobo and disk drives are sensitive to static electricity, also known

as electrostatic discharge. Before you install any disk drive, we recommend that you do the following: 1) Avoid static-
causing surfaces such as carpeted floors, plastic, and packing foam; 2) Discharge yourself by touching an unpainted metal
surface such as a desk or rack mount; 3) Remove disk drives from their antistatic bags only when you are ready to use
them. Be sure to follow any additional recommendations that the disk drive manufacturers provides.

Repair Technician Warning!

- Before opening the DroboPro or DroboElite unit or removing the power supply assembly,

the AC cord MUST be unplugged from the outside of the unit and the unit must be unpowered. The System Earthing
connections of the internal AC cable must not be removed if the system is powered on for service access.
