guidelines when using it.
Operation Requirements
●This is a class A product. In a domestic environment this may cause radio interference in which
case you may be required to take adequate measures.
●The Device is heavy and needs to be carried by several persons together to avoid personal
injuries.
●Check whether the power supply is correct before use.
●Do not unplug the power cord on the side of the Device while the adapter is powered on.
●Operate the Device within the rated range of power input and output.
●Use the Device under allowed humidity and temperature conditions.
●Do not drop or splash liquid onto the Device, and make sure that there is no object filled with
liquid on the Device to prevent liquid from flowing into it.
●Do not disassemble the Device without professional instruction.
●Your configurations will be lost after performing a factory reset. Please be advised.
●Do not restart, shut down or disconnect the power to the Device during an update.
◇Make sure the update file is correct because an incorrect file can result in a Device error
occurring.
◇The system cannot upgrade different types of AI modules at the same time.
●Do not frequently turn on/off the Device. Otherwise, the product life might be shortened.
●Back up important data on a regular basis when using the Device.
●Operating temperature: 0 °C to 45 °C (32 °F to 113 °F).
●Salt pray in the operating environment of the device might corrode its electronic components
and cables. To ensure the normal operation of the device and prolong its service life, use the
device in an indoor environment that is 3 kilometers away from the sea.
Installation Requirements
●Do not connect the power adapter to the Device while the adapter is powered on.
●Strictly comply with the local electric safety code and standards. Make sure the ambient voltage
is stable and meets the power supply requirements of the Device.
●Do not expose the battery to environments with extremely low air pressure, or extremely high or
low temperatures. Also, it is strictly prohibited for the battery to be thrown into a fire or furnace,
and to cut or put mechanical pressure on the battery. This is to avoid the risk of fire and
explosion.
●Use the standard power adapter or cabinet power supply. We will assume no responsibility for

●The Device is a class I electrical appliance. Make sure that the power supply of the Device is
connected to a power socket with protective earthing.
●Use power cords that conform to your local requirements, and are rated specifications.
●Before connecting the power supply, make sure the input voltage matches the server power
requirement.
●When installing the Device, make sure that the power plug and appliance coupler can be easily
reached to cut off power.
●Install the server in an area that only professionals can access.
●Extra protection is necessary for the Device casing to reduce the transient voltage to the defined
range.
●If you did not push the HDD box to the bottom, then do not close the handle to avoid damage to
the HDD slot.
●Install the Device near a power socket for emergency disconnect.
●It is prohibited for non-professionals and unauthorized personnel to open the Device casing.
