Safety Guidelines

Adhere to the following safety guidelines to avoid personal injury or damage to your system.

Electrical Safety Guidelines

Power Cords

• Use the exact type of power cords as required.

• Use power cord(s) that came with safety certifications.

• The power cord(s) must be compliant with the AC voltage requirements in

your region.

• The power cord plug cap must have an electrical current rating that is at

least 125% of the electrical current rating of this product.

• The power cord plug cap that plugs into the AC receptacle on the power

supply must be an IEC 320, sheet C13, type female connector.

• Disconnect the power supply before accessing the InfoCaster chassis or its

components.

• Plug the power cord(s) into a socket that is properly grounded before

turning on the power.

General Electrical Safety Guidelines

• Be aware of the locations of the power switches on the chassis and in the

room, so you can disconnect the power supply if an accident occurs.

• Take extra precautionary measures when working with high voltage

components. It is not recommended to work alone.

• Before removing or installing main system components, be sure to

disconnect the power first. Turn off the system before you disconnect the

power supply.

• Use only one hand when working with powered-on electrical equipment to

avoid possible electrical shock.

• Use rubber mats specifically designed as electrical insulators when working

with computer systems.

• The power supply or power cord must include a grounding plug and must

be plugged into grounded outlets.

Warning

To avoid electrical shock, check

the power cords properly.

Warning

Adhere to the following

Electrical Safety Guidelines to

avoid possible damages to the

system or injury to yourself.

xvi Preface

InfoCaster R2100 Hardware Installation Manual

• Motherboard Battery: CAUTION – Make sure not to install the onboard

battery upside down to avoid possible explosion. Make sure that the

positive side should be facing up on the motherboard. This battery must be

replaced only with the same or an equivalent type recommended by the

manufacturer. Dispose of used batteries according to the manufacturer's

instructions.

• CD-ROM Laser: CAUTION – Do not open the enclosures of power

supplies or CD ROM to avoid injury.

General Safety Guidelines

• Keep the area around the InfoCaster chassis clean and free of clutter.

• To avoid injuries to the back, be sure to use your leg muscles, keep your

back straight, and bend your knees, when lifting the system.

• Avoid wearing loose clothing to preventing it from coming into contact

with power circuits.

• After removing the components or chassis covers from the system, place

them on a table for safeguard.

• Be sure to remove any jewelry or metal objects before working on the

chassis to avoid short circuits should these objects come into contact with

power circuits.

• After accessing the interior of the chassis, be sure to close the chassis with

the chassis covers and secure the chassis to the racks with screws.

ESD Safety Guidelines

The following measures are generally sufficient to protect against Electric

Statics Discharge (ESD).

• Use a grounded wrist strap designed to prevent static discharge.

• Keep all components and printed circuit boards (PCBs) in their anti-static

bags until ready for use.

• Touch a grounded metal object before removing the board from the

anti-static bag.

• Do not let components or PCBs come into contact with your clothing,

which may retain a charge even if you are wearing a wrist strap.

• Touch a grounded metal object before removing the board from the

anti-static bag.

Warning

Adhere to the following General

Safety Guidelines to ensure

your personal safety.

Caution

Electric Static Discharge (ESD)

can damage electronic

components. To prevent

damage to your system board, it

is important to handle it very

carefully.

xviiPreface

InfoCaster R2100 Hardware Installation Manual

• Handle a board by its edges only; do not touch its components, peripheral

chips, memory modules or contacts.

• When handling chips or modules, avoid touching their pins.

• Put the motherboard and peripherals back into their anti-static bags when

not in use.

• For grounding purposes, make sure your computer chassis provides

excellent conductivity between the power supply, the case, the mounting

fasteners and the motherboard.

Operation Safety Guidelines

Adhere to the following safety guidelines to avoid personal injury when

accessing the InfoCaster chassis.

1 Turn off all peripheral devices connected to the InfoCaster chassis.

2 Press the power button to power off the system.

3 Unplug all power cords from the system or wall outlets.

4 Disconnect all the cables and label the cables for easy identification.

5 Use a grounded wrist strap designed to prevent static discharge when

handling components.

Ensure the following measures are in place before installing the chassis into a

rack.

• The rack must be securely anchored onto a unmovable surface or structure

before installing the chassis into the rack.

• The system must be adequately supported. Make sure that all the

components are securely fastened to the chassis to prevent components

from falling off from the chassis.

• Unplug the power cord(s) of the rack before installing the chassis into the

rack.

• Install an AC Power Disconnect for the entire rack assembly and this Power

Disconnect must be clearly marked.

• The rack assembly must be properly grounded to avoid electric shock.

• The rack assembly must provide sufficient airflow to the chassis for proper

cooling.

Caution

For proper cooling, make sure

to install all chassis covers

before turning on the system. If

this rule is not strictly followed,

warranty may become void. Do

not open the casing of a power

supply. Power supplies can only

be accessed and serviced by a

qualified technician of the

manufacturer.
