SAFETY
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
To prevent damage to your Radian 6-Slot Chassis or injury to personnel operating the equipment, please read the following safety
precautions prior to operation. These instructions should be made available to all those who will use and operate the Chassis.
POWER SUPPLY
All Radian products require a power supply. This power supply must be disconnected when equipment is being upgraded or
relocated.
CABLES
Do not expose cables to any liquids; doing so may cause a short circuit that could damage the equipment. Do not place heavy
objects on top of any cables as this can cause damage and possibly lead to exposed live wires.
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.
WORKING ENVIRONMENT
The equipment should be located in an environment free from dust, moisture and extreme changes in temperature and should be
placed on a stable and solid work surface. Liquids (hot/cold drinks etc) should not be placed near the equipment as spillage could
cause serious damage.
GAS/FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS
Electronic equipment should never be used in the presence of gas or any flammable liquid, doing so could result in an explosion or
serious fire.
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 qualified technician for inspection. Continued operation could result in personal injury and
damage to property.
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.
REPLACABLE BATTERIES
CAUTION: Risk of explosion if batteries are replaced by an incorrect type. Dispose of used batteries according to the local laws/
regulations and manufacturer’s instructions.
