Safety InstructionBefore getting started, please read the following important cautions:• All cautions and warnings on the equipment or in the manuals should be noted.• Most electronic components are sensitive to electrical static discharge. Therefore, be

sure to ground yourself at all times when installing the internal components.• Use a grounding wrist strap and place all electronic components in static-shielded

devices. Grounding wrist straps can be purchased in any electronic supply store.• Be sure to turn off the power and then disconnect the power cords from your system

before performing any installation or servicing. A sudden surge of power could damage sensitive electronic components.

• Do not open the system’s top cover. If opening the cover for maintenance is a must, only a trained technician should do so. Integrated circuits on computer boards are sensitive to static electricity. Before handling a board or integrated circuit, touch an unpainted portion of the system unit chassis for a few seconds. This will help to discharge any static electricity on your body.

• Place this equipment on a stable surface when install. A drop or fall could cause injury.• Please keep this equipment away from humidity.• Carefully mount the equipment into the rack, in such manner, that it won’t be

hazardous due to uneven mechanical loading.• This equipment is to be installed for operation in an environment with maximum

ambient temperature below 35°C.• The openings on the enclosure are for air convection to protect the equipment from

overheating. DO NOT COVER THE OPENINGS.• Never pour any liquid into ventilation openings. This could cause fire or electrical

shock.• Make sure the voltage of the power source is within the specification on the label when

connecting the equipment to the power outlet. The current load and output power of loads shall be within the specification.

• This equipment must be connected to reliable grounding before using. Pay special attention to power supplied other than direct connections, e.g. using of power strips.

• Place the power cord out of the way of foot traffic. Do not place anything over the power cord. The power cord must be rated for the product, voltage and current marked on the product’s electrical ratings label. The voltage and current rating of the cord should be greater than the voltage and current rating marked on the product.

• If the equipment is not used for a long time, disconnect the equipment from mains to avoid being damaged by transient over-voltage.

• Never open the equipment. For safety reasons, only qualified service personnel should open the equipment.

AIC Prel

• If one of the following situations arise, the equipment should be checked by service personnel:1. The power cord or plug is damaged.2. Liquid has penetrated the equipment.3. The equipment has been exposed to moisture.4. The equipment does not work well or will not work according to its user manual.5. The equipment has been dropped and/or damaged.6. The equipment has obvious signs of breakage.7. Please disconnect this equipment from the AC outlet before cleaning. Do not

use liquid or detergent for cleaning. The use of a moisture sheet or cloth is recommended for cleaning.

• Module and drive bays must not be empty! They must have a dummy cover.

CAUTIONThe equipment intended for installation should be placed in Restricted Access Location.

CAUTIONThere will be a risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type. Dispose of used batteries according to the instructions. After performing any installation or servicing, make sure the enclosure is correct in position before turning on the power.

CAUTIONThis unit may have more than one power supply. Disconnect all power sources before maintenance to avoid electric shock.
