Safety Instructions

To maximize user safety and ensure correct device operation, all instructions con-

tained in this section should be read carefully.

WARNING: All equipment connected to the product must conform to their standards

WARNING: This Themis PRODUCT must be used in sheltered environments only, and

at an altitude of less than 3048 meters (10,000 ft).

• The device must be used in accordance with the instructions for use.

• Electrical installations in the room must correspond to the requirements of

respective regulations.

• Take care that there are no cables, particularly mains cables, in areas where

persons can trip over them.

• Do not use a mains connection in sockets shared by a number of other power

consumers. Do not use an extension cable.

• Only use the mains cable supplied.

• Power cord requirements:

Europe: A power supply unit operating at a nominal voltage of 240V must use

a power cord rated for a minimum operating voltage of 200V and is not to be

used with an operational voltage below 200V

USA: A power supply unit operating at a nominal voltage of 120V must use a

power cord rated for a minimum operating voltage of 100V and is not to be

used with an operational voltage below 100V

Caution: It is important that the user observe all warnings and instructions

that are on the device and contained in this manual.

Caution: The protection of the building serves as protection for the equip-

ment.

Caution: When rack mounted, never lean on the server. It is prohibited to lean

on the server while it is pulled on slide rails (telescopic rails) outside of the

rack (bay). Personal injury and equipment damage can occur.

Themis Computer

CoolShell 3U Generation 2 Installation Manual

• The AC input rating for the CS-3U, 850W (max) power supply units are as fol-

lows: 100-240VAC, 12 A max, 50/60 Hz.

• The unit is completely disconnected from the power source only when all

power cords are disconnected from the power source. Therefore the power

cords and its connectors must always remain easily accessible.

• Do not set up the device in the proximity of heat sources or in a damp location.

Make sure the device has adequate ventilation.

• Manufacturer recommended ambient temperature is 21°C

• All connection cables must be screwed or locked to the chassis housing.

• The device is designed to be used in horizontal position only.

• The device is no longer safe to operate when

— the device has visible damage or

— the device no longer functions.

• In these cases, the device must be shut down and secured against unintentional

operation.

• Repairs/service may only be carried out by a Themis Computer qualified ser-

vice technician.

• Do not open the chassis, or perform services/repairs when the equipment is

powered on, due to electrical shock hazard.

• The device may only be opened for the installation and removal of extension

(PCI) cards, memory modules, storage drives, fan housings, power supplies,

and the lithium battery—all in accordance with the instructions given in this

manual.

• If extensions are made to the device, the legal stipulations and the device spec-

ifications must be observed.

• The device must be switched off when removing the top cover; for example,

before installing extension (PCI) cards.

Operation of Laser Source Devices

DVD/CD-ROM drives contain laser light-emitting diodes (classified in accordance

with IEC 825-1:1993: LASER CLASS 1) and, therefore, must not be opened.

If the enclosure of such a drive is opened, invisible laser radiation is emitted. Do

vi Themis Computer

CoolShell 3U Generation 2 Installation Manual Version 1.1

not allow yourself to be exposed to this radiation.

The laser system meets the code of Federal Regulations 21 CFR,1040 for the USA

and Canadian Radiation Emitting Devices Act, REDR C 1370.

Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)

A sudden discharge of electrostatic electricity can destroy static-sensitive devices

or micro-circuitry. Proper packaging and grounding techniques are necessary pre-

cautions to prevent damage. Always take the following precautions:

1. Transport boards in static-safe containers such as boxes or bags.

2. Keep electrostatic-sensitive parts in their containers until they arrive at static-

free stations.

3. Always be properly grounded when touching a sensitive board, component, or

assembly.

4. Store electrostatic-sensitive boards in protective packaging or on conductive

foam.

Grounding Methods

Finnish: laite on liitettävä suoja maadoituskoskettimilla varustettuun pistorasiaan

Norwegian: Apparatet må tilkoples jordet stikkontakt

Swedish: Apparaten skall anslutas till jordat uttag

Guard against electrostatic damage at workstations by following these steps:

1. Cover workstations with approved anti-static material. Provide a wrist strap

connected to a work surface and properly grounded tools and equipment.

2. Use anti-static mats, heel straps, or air ionizers to give added protection.

3. Provide a wrist strap connected to a work surface and properly ground tools and

equipment.

4. Handle electrostatic-sensitive components, boards, and assemblies by the case

or the PCB edge.

5. Avoid contact with pins, leads, or circuitry.

vii

Themis Computer

CoolShell 3U Generation 2 Installation Manual

6. Turn off power and input signals before inserting and removing connectors or

test equipment. Power is not considered off until all power supplies have been

disconnected.

7. Keep the work area free of non-conductive materials such as ordinary plastic as-

sembly aids and Styrofoam.

8. Use field service tools, such as cutters, screwdrivers, and vacuums that are con-

ductive.

9. Always place drives and boards PCB-assembly-side down on the foam.

10. Grounding wire size shall be no less than 16 AWG.

11. Overcurrent Protection relies on proper building installation and Earth connec-

tion (ground).

12. High Voltage; Earth connection is essential before connecting the power supply

units.
