Safety, Environmental, and Electronic Emissions Notices

Read the following warnings before setting up or using the appliance.

Warning - Do not block air vents. A minimum 1/2-inch clearance is required.

Before you install or remove a chassis, or work near power supplies, turn off the power and unplug the power cord.

To prevent damage to any system board, it is important to handle it with care. The following measures are generally sufficient to protect your equipment from static electricity discharge:

• When handling the board, to use a grounded wrist strap designed for static discharge elimination.
• Touch a grounded metal object before removing the board from the antistatic bag.
• Handle the board by its edges only. Do not touch its components, peripheral chips, memory modules or gold contacts.
• When handling processor chips or memory modules, avoid touching their pins or gold edge fingers.
• Restore the communications appliance system board and peripherals back into the antistatic bag when they are not in use or not installed in the chassis. Some circuitry on the system board can continue operating even though the power is switched off.
• Under no circumstances should the lithium battery cell used to power the real-time clock be allowed to short. The battery cell may heat up under these conditions and present a burn hazard.

Lithium Battery Caution - Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with same or equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer. Dispose batteries according to manufacturer's instructions.

• Disposal of a battery into a fire or hot oven, or mechanically crushing or cutting a battery, can result in an explosion.
• Leaving a battery in an extremely high temperature environment can result in an explosion or leakage of flammable liquid or gas.
• A battery subjected to extremely low air pressure may result in an explosion or leakage of flammable liquid or gas.
• The device can only be used in a fixed location such as a lab or machine room. When you install the device, ensure that the protective earthing connection of the socket outlet is verified by a skilled person.
• Only a skilled person can install the unit and provide maintenance.
• Disconnect the system board power supply from its power source before you connect or disconnect cables or install or remove any system board components. Failure to do this can result in personnel injury or equipment damage.
• Avoid short-circuiting the lithium battery; this can cause it to superheat and cause burns if touched.
• Do not operate the processor without a thermal solution. Damage to the processor can occur in seconds.
• Class 1 laser product warning - A totally enclosed laser system containing a class 1 laser.

This device is not intended for use in the direct field of view at visual display workplaces. To avoid incommoding reflexions at visual display workplaces this device must not be placed in the direct field of view.

Rack Mount Instructions

The following or similar rack-mount instructions are included with the installation instructions:

1. Elevated Operating Ambient - If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater than room ambient. Therefore, consideration should be given to installing the equipment in an environment compatible with the maximum ambient temperature specified by the manufacturer.
2. Reduced Air Flow - Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such that the amount of air flow required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.
3. Mechanical Loading - Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such that a hazardous condition is not achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.
4. Circuit Overloading - Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the supply circuit and the effect that overloading of the circuits might have on over current protection and supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this concern.
5. Reliable Earthing - Reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment should be maintained. Particular attention should be given to supply connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit (e.g. use of power strips).

For California:

Federal Communications Commission (FCC) statement for a Class A digital device or peripheral

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment to an outlet on a circuit that is different from the one to which the receiver is connected.
