FREECOM DUAL DRIVE NETWORK CENTER

General Information

Your system needs to meet the following hardware and software requirements for the

device to function properly.

System requirements

To use the Freecom Dual Drive Network Center, you will require the following components:

PC:

• Intel Pentium III / AMD Duron 900 MHz or higher

• 256 MB RAM (Vista / 7: 512 MB RAM) or higher

• LAN (1000Base-T full duplex connection recommended)

• CD-ROM drive

• Internet connection for online warranty registration, software updates and downloads

• Operating system: Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7

Mac:

• PowerPC G4/G5 or Intel Mac

• 256 MB RAM or higher

• LAN (1000Base-T full duplex connection recommended)

• CD-ROM drive

• Internet connection for online warranty registration, software updates and downloads

• Operating system: Mac OS X v10.4 or higher

In order to enable immediate use, your Freecom Dual Drive Network Center is pre-formatted

and configured as RAID 0. You therefore have the maximum storage space available. If you

value maximum data security, we recommend the configuration as RAID 1. In the "RAID 1"

mode, your hard disks will be mirrored, so that only half the maximum storage space will be

available. If one hard disk fails, your data can then be restored from the second hard disk.

Further information on hard disk configuration can be found in Section "Configuration of

the hard disks" of this manual.

Precautionary measures

To ensure that your Freecom Dual Drive Network Center functions properly, please take

note of the following precautions. If these are not followed, you may void your warranty

and damage the Freecom Dual Drive Network Center.

• Do not drop the Freecom Dual Drive Network Center or expose it to other kinds of

sudden mechanical shocks as this may result in data loss and damage to the Dual Drive

Network Center.

• Do not use the Freecom Dual Drive Network Center when the ambient temperature is

below 10°C or above 35°C.

• If the Freecom Dual Drive Network Center is moved from a cool environment to a

warmer environment, please allow the drive to acclimatize to the ambient temperature

before operating the device. Failing to do so may lead to condensation within the drive

enclosure, which in turn may cause the drive to malfunction.

• Do not place liquids or drinks on the Freecom Dual Drive Network Center. When liquids

are spilled and get in contact with the electronics within the drive enclosure, it will

damage the drive and will cause the drive to malfunction.

• Do not use the Freecom Dual Drive Network Center in a dusty environment. Dust inside

the enclosure may damage the internal electronics and result in drive malfunction.

• Only use the power adapter that was supplied with the Freecom Dual Drive Network

Center.

• Opening the Freecom Dual Drive Network Center will void the warranty.

If at any point during installing and/or configuring your Freecom

Dual Drive Network Center you need assistance or have questions,

please contact the Freecom Support Center for your country. See

www.freecom.com for details.

Freecom offers free unlimited helpdesk support.
