Read these safety instructions carefully.
Keep this user manual for later reference.
Disconnect this equipment from AC outlet before cleaning. Do not use liquid or spray detergents for cleaning.
For pluggable equipment, the power outlet shall be installed near the equipment and shall be easily accessible.
Keep this equipment away from humidity.
Put this equipment on a reliable surface during installation. Dropping it or letting it fall could cause damage.
Do not leave this equipment in an environment unconditioned where the storage temperature under 0C (32F) or above
40C (104F), it may damage the equipment.
The openings on the enclosure are for air convection hence protects the equipment from overheating. DO NOT COVER
THE OPENINGS.
Make sure the voltage of the power source is correct before connecting the equipment to the power outlet.
Place the power cord such a way that people can not step on it. Do not place anything over the power cord. The voltage
and current rating of the cord should be greater than the voltage and current rating marked on the product.
All cautions and warnings on the equipment should be noted.
If the equipment is not used for long time, disconnect it from the power source to avoid being damaged by transient over-
voltage.
Never pour any liquid into ventilation openings. This could cause fire or electrical shock.
Never open the equipment. For safety reasons, the equipment should be opened only by qualified service personnel.
If any of the following situations arises, get the equipment checked by service personnel:
a. The power cord or plug is damaged.
b. Liquid has penetrated into the equipment.
c. The equipment has been exposed to moisture.
d. The equipment does not work well or you cannot get it to work according to user manual.
e. The equipment has been dropped and damaged.
f. The equipment has obvious signs of breakage.
CAUTION: The computer is provided with a battery-powered real-time clock circuit. There is a danger of explosion if bat-
tery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with same or equivalent type recommended by the manufacture. Discard used
batteries according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
THE COMPUTER IS PROVIDED WITH CD DRIVES COMPLY WITH APPROPRIATE SAFETY STANDARDS INCLUDING
IEC 60825.

FWA-6500 Startup Manual 9
Jumpers and Connectors
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and
(2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
CAUTION: Always completely disconnect the power cord from your chassis whenever you work with the hardware. Do not
make connections while the power is on. Sensitive electronic components can be damaged by sudden power surges.
CAUTION: Always ground yourself to remove any static charge before touching the motherboard, backplane, or add-on
cards. Modern electronic devices are very sensitive to static electric charges. As a safety precaution, use a grounding
wrist strap at all times. Place all electronic components on a static-dissipative surface or in a static-shielded bag when they
are not in the chassis.
CAUTION: Any unverified component could cause unexpected damage. To ensure the correct installation, please always
use the components (ex. screws) provided with the accessory box.
Caution text concerning lithium batteries:
“Rack Mount Instructions - The following or similar rack-mount instructions are included with the installation instructions:
A) 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 (Tma) specified by the manufacturer.
B) 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.
C) Mechanical Loading - Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such that a hazardous condition is not achieved
due to uneven mechanical loading.
D) 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 overcurrent protection and supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of
equipment nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this concern.
E) 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).”
