Heat and the SC101

Although it is hotter than most networking products, the SC101 is within normal safe operating

limits.

What disks are compatible with the SC101?

See SC101 Hard Drive Compatibility.

Does vertical disk mounting affect disk life?

Manufacturers usually specify horizontal or vertical mounting, but some even say any orientation

is ok. For an outstanding site that includes hard drive information, see The PC Guide, which

SC101 and Heat Generation

The SC101 is tested by NETGEAR to make sure that it operates in safe temperature limits.

Computer owners are used to touching the outside case of a computer which is near room

temperature, however it is not necessary for electronic devices to be at room temperature to

operate safely.

Always follow a product's safety instructions for use. As noted in the manuals the Storage Central

• Standing upright on its feet

• With ample ventilation

• With nothing placed on top
