Safety Precautions

Before getting started, please read the following important safety precautions.

1. The UST500-517-FL does not come with an operating system which must be loaded first

before installation of any software into the computer.

2. Be sure to ground yourself to prevent static charge when installing any internal

components. Use a grounding wrist strap and place all electronic components in any

static-shielded devices. Most electronic components are sensitive to static electrical

charge.

3. Disconnect the power cord from the UST500-517-FL prior to making any installation. Be

sure both the system and all external devices are turned OFF. Sudden surge of power

could ruin sensitive components. Make sure the UST500-517-FL is properly grounded.

4. Make sure the voltage of the power source is correct before connecting it to any power

outlet.

5. Turn OFF system power before cleaning. Clean the system using a cloth only. Do not

spray any liquid cleaner directly onto the screen.

6. Do not leave equipment in an uncontrolled environment where the storage temperature is

below -40℃ or above 80℃ as it may damage the equipment.

7. Do not open the system’s back cover. If opening the cover for maintenance is a must, only

a trained technician is allowed to do so. Integrated circuits on computer boards are

sensitive to static electricity. To avoid damaging chips from electrostatic discharge,

observe the following precautions:

⚫ Before handling a board or integrated circuit, touch an unpainted portion of the system

unit chassis for a few seconds. This will help discharge any static electricity on human

body.

⚫ When handling boards and components, wear a grounding wrist strap available from

most electronic component stores.

8. Follow these simple precautions to protect yourself from harm and the products from

damage.

● To avoid electrical shock, always disconnect the power from the PC chassis before

manual handling. Do not touch any components on the motherboard while the PC is

powered on.

● Disconnect the power before making any configuration changes. A sudden rush of

power after connecting a jumper or installing a card may damage sensitive electronic

components.

iv

Battery Information

Batteries, battery packs, and accumulators must not be disposed of as unsorted household

waste. Please use the public collection system to return, recycle, or treat such items in

compliance with local regulations.

※ Cautions are included to help prevent hardware damage and data losses.

For example,

The battery is at risk of exploding if incorrectly installed. Do not attempt to recharge, force

open, or heat the battery. Replace the battery only with the same or equivalent type

recommended by the manufacturer. Discard used batteries according to the

manufacturer's instructions.”

※ As for the RTC battery used in the system, when the battery voltage drops below 2.5V,

the REAL-TIME CLOCK (RTC) RAM in the CMOS will be cleared, including the date,

time, system password, and system configuration parameters. At this point, the battery

must be replaced, and all parameters need to be reconfigured. Please refer to Chapter

2.4 for instructions on how to replace the battery.

v

Classifications

1. Degree of production against electric shock: not classified.

2. Degree of protection against ingress of water: IP40/30*

3. Equipment not suitable for use in the presence of a flammable anesthetic mixture with air,

oxygen or nitrous oxide.

4. Mode of operation: Continuous

General Cleaning Tips

Please keep the following precautions in mind while understanding the details fully before and

during any cleaning of the computer and any components within.

A piece of dry cloth is ideal to clean the device.

1. Be cautious of any tiny removable components when using a vacuum cleaner to absorb

dirt on the floor.

2. Turn the system off before cleaning up the computer or any components within.

3. Avoid dropping any components inside the computer or getting circuit board damp or wet.

4. For cleaning, be cautious of all kinds of cleaning solvents or chemicals which may cause

allergy to certain individuals.

5. Keep foods, drinks or cigarettes away from the computer.

Cleaning Tools:

Although many companies have created products to help improve the process of cleaning

computers and peripherals, users can also use household items accordingly for cleaning. Listed

below are items available for cleaning computers or computer peripherals.

Pay special attention to components requiring designated products for cleaning as mentioned

below.

⚫ Cloth: A piece of cloth is the best tool to use when rubbing up a component. Although

paper towels or tissues can be used on most hardware as well, it is recommended to use

a piece of cloth.

⚫ Water or rubbing alcohol: A piece of cloth may be somewhat moistened with water or

rubbing alcohol before being rubbed on the computer. Unknown solvents may be harmful

to plastic parts.

⚫ Vacuuming dust, dirt, hair, cigarette and other particles out of a computer can be one of

the best methods of cleaning a computer. Over time these items may restrict the airflow

in a computer and cause circuitry to corrode.

⚫ Cotton swabs: Cotton swabs moistened with rubbing alcohol or water are applicable to

reach areas in keyboard, mouse and other areas.

⚫ Foam swabs: If possible, it is better to use lint- free swabs such as foam swabs.

【Note】: It is strongly recommended that the user should shut down the system before

starting to clean any single component.

Please follow the steps below:

1. Close all application programs;

2. Close operating software;

3. Turn off power;

4. Remove all devices;

5. Pull out the power cable.

Scrap Computer Recycling

Please inform the nearest Axiomtek distributor as soon as possible for suitable solutions in case

computers require maintenance or repair; or for recycling in case computers are out of order.
