Safety Instructions

6 SKY-7210 Startup Manual
18. 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 opera
tion.
19. 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 dam
aged by sudden power surges.
20. 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 precau
tion, 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.
21. CAUTION:Anyunveriedcomponentcouldcauseun
expected damage. To ensure the correct installation,
please always use the components (ex. screws) pro
vided with the accessory box.
22. Caution text concerning lithium batteries:
ADVARSEL!
Lithiumbatteri - Eksplosionsfare ved fejlagtig
håndtering.
Udskiftning må kun ske med batteri af samme
fabrikat og type.
Levér det brugte batteri tilbage tilleverandøren.
23. “Rack Mount Instructions - The following or similar
rack-mount instructions are included with the installa
tion 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)speciedbythemanufacturer.
B) Reduced Air Flow - Installation of the equipment in a
rackshouldbesuchthattheamountofairowrequired
for safe operation of the equipment is not compro
mised.
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
Safety Instructions
and the effect that overloading of the circuits might
have on overcurrent protection and supply wiring.
Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate rat
ings 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).”
