CHAPTER 2: SAFETY
2.1 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
To prevent damage to your Black Box product or injury to personnel operating the equipment, please read the following safety
precautions before operation. These instructions should be made available to all those who will use and operate Black Box products.
2.1.1 P O W E R S U P P LY
These products require a main power supply. This power supply must be disconnected when equipment is being upgraded
or relocated.
2.1.2 C A B L E S
Do not expose cables to any liquids; doing so may cause a short circuit which could damage the equipment. Do not place heavy
objects on top of any cables because this can cause damage and possibly lead to exposed live wires.
2.1.3 VENTILATION
All computer equipment should be located in a well ventilated area. All ventilation holes on the computer casing must be kept clear
of any obstruction at all times. Failure to do so will result in the system overheating and damaging your equipment.
2.1.4 WORKING ENVIRONMENT
Locate the equipment in an environment free from dust, moisture and extreme changes in temperature. Place the equipment on a
stable and solid work surface. Do not place liquids (hot/cold drinks, etc.) near the equipment as spillage could cause serious damage.
2.1.5 GAS/FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS
Never use electronic equipment in the presence of gas or any ammable liquid, doing so could result in an explosion or serious re.
2.1.6 SMOKE/UNUSUAL SMELLS
If you notice smoke or unusual smells being emitted from your system, turn off and unplug the system from the power supply.
The system should then be passed to a qualied technician for inspection. Continued operation could result in personal injury
and damage to property.
2.1.7 MAINTENANCE
Apart from what is detailed in this user guide, maintenance should only be carried out by competent technicians, any Black Box
plug-in cards that are physically damaged should be returned to Black Box for repair using Black Box RMA procedures.

CHAPTER 2: SAFETY
2.1.8 REPACEABLE BATTERIES
CAUTION: Risk of explosion if batteries are replaced with an incorrect type. Dispose of used batteries according to the local laws/
regulations and manufacturer’s instructions.
2.2 RACKMOUNT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
2.2.1 TEMPERATURE
If Radian Flex Chassis systems are to be installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the installation should be such that the
amount of air ow required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised. The operating ambient temperature of the rack
environment should be maintained below 95° F (35° C) under all conditions. Appropriate cooling arrangements should be built into the
cabinet to ensure that this specication is maintained.
2.2.2 MECHANICAL LOADING
Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such that a hazardous condition is not achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.
2.2.3 CIRCUIT OVERLOADING
Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the main supply circuit and the effect that overloading of the
supply might have on any over-current protection or supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should
be used.
2.2.4 RELIABLE EARTHING
Reliable earthing of all 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).
2.3 UNPACKING AND INITIAL INSPECTION
2.3.1 UNPACKING
The system is heavy; lifting precautions should be considered.
To unpack the system, follow the instructions provided on the outside of the packaging. All packaging materials should be retained
for future transit.
2.3.2 INITIAL INSPECTION
All systems are carefully prepared for shipment and every effort is made to ensure you receive the product in pristine condition.
On receipt, you should carefully inspect the outer packaging for any transit damage, i.e. any signs that the system may have been
dropped, etc.
