Safety Instructions
The following information relates to the safety of installation and maintenance personnel.
Read and follow all instructions before attempting to unpack, install or operate this equipment,
especially before connecting the power adapter.
Electrical Safety
Basic electrical safety precautions should be followed to protect yourself from harm and the appliance
from damage:
•
Be aware of the power switch locations on the appliance’s chassis as well as
the emergency power-off switch for the housing room, the disconnection
switch or the electrical outlet. Knowing these locations enables you to quickly
remove electrical power from the system in case an electrical accident occurs.
•
Do not work alone when working with high voltage components.
•
When working around exposed electrical circuits, another person who is
familiar with the power-off controls should be nearby to switch off the power if
necessary.
•
Use only one hand when working with powered-on electrical equipment. This
is to avoid making a complete circuit, which will cause electrical shock. Use
extreme caution when using metal tools, which can easily damage any
electrical components or circuit boards they come into contact with.
•
Do not use mats designed to decrease electrostatic discharge as protection
from electrical shock. Instead, use rubber mats that have been specifically
designed as electrical insulators.
•
The power supply power cord must include a grounding plug and must be
plugged into grounded electrical outlets.
•
To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose the unit to rain, moisture or
install this product near water.
•
Avoid installation of this product during a lightning storm.
General Safety
•
Do not stack two units on top of each other during operation.
•
In order to avoid overheating of the unit, you must never put it into direct
sunlight during operation.
•
Ensure that the air vents (openings along the sides and at the backside) are
never blocked and that there is always sufficient airflow through the vents in
order to prevent overheating.
•
Keep the area around the appliance clean and free of clutter.
•
Locate a safe and dry location to place the unit. Keep it away from wet
surfaces/surroundings.
•
While working on the system, do not wear loose clothing such as neckties and
unbuttoned shirt sleeves, which can come into contact with electrical circuits
or be pulled into a cooling fan.
