Safety
Before starting up
VCAUTION!
●During installation and before operating the device, observe the
instructions on environmental conditions for your device.
●If the device is brought in from a cold environment, condensation may
form both inside and on the outside of the device.
Wait until the device has acclimatized to room temperature and is
absolutely dry before starting it up. Material damage may be caused
to the device if this requirement is not observed.
●Transport the device only in the original packaging or in packaging
that protects it from knocks and jolts.
Installation and operation
VCAUTION!
●This unit should not be operated in ambient temperatures above
35 °C.
●If the unit is integrated into an installation that draws power from an
industrial power supply network with an IEC309 connector, the power
supply's fuse protection must comply with the requirements for non-
industrial power supply networks for type A connectors.
●The unit automatically adjusts itself to a mains voltage in a range of
100 V - 127 V or 200 V - 240 V. Ensure that the local mains voltage
lies within these limits.
●This device must only be connected to properly grounded shock-
proof sockets or insulated sockets of the rack's internal power supply
with tested and approved power cables.
●Ensure that the device is connected to a grounded shockproof socket
close to the device.

TX120 Options Guide 15
Safety
VCAUTION!
●Ensure that the power sockets on the device and the grounded shock-
proof sockets are freely accessible.
●The On/Off button or the main power switch (if present) does not
isolate the device from the mains power supply. To disconnect it
completely from the mains power supply, unplug all network power
plugs from the grounded shockproof sockets.
●Always connect the server and the attached peripherals to the same
power circuit. Otherwise you run the risk of losing data if,
for. example, the server is still running but a peripheral device (e.g.
memory subsystem) fails during a power outage.
●Data cables must be adequately shielded.
●The EN 50173 and EN 50174-1/2 standards apply for LAN cabling.
The minimum requirement is the use of a category 5 screened LAN
cable for 10/100 Mbps Ethernet, or a category 5e cable for Gigabit
Ethernet. The requirements from the ISO/IEC 11801 specification
must also be met.
●Route the cables in such a way that they do not create a potential
hazard (make sure no-one can trip over them) and that they cannot
be damaged. When connecting the server, refer to the relevant
instructions in this manual.
●Never connect or disconnect data transmission lines during a storm
(risk of lightning strike).
●Make sure that no objects (e.g. jewelery, paperclips etc.) or liquids
can get inside the server (risk of electric shock, short circuit).
●In emergencies (e.g. damaged casing, controls or cables, penetration
of liquids or foreign bodies), switch off the server immediately, remove
all power plugs and contact your sales outlet or customer service
team.

16 OptionsGuide TX120
Safety
VCAUTION!
●Proper operation of the system (in accordance with
IEC 60950-1/EN 60950-1) is only ensured if the casing is completely
assembled and the rear covers for the installation slots have been
fitted (electric shock, cooling, fire protection, interference
suppression).
●Only install system expansions that satisfy the requirements and
rules governing safety and electromagnetic compatibility and those
relating to telecommunication terminals. If you install other expan-
sions, they may damage the system or violate the safety regulations.
Information on which system expansions are approved for installation
can be obtained from our customer service center or your sales
outlet.
●The components marked with a warning notice (e.g. lightning symbol)
may only be opened, removed or exchanged by authorized, qualified
personnel. Exception: hot-pluggable power supply units can be
replaced.
●The warranty is void if the server is damaged during installation or
replacement of system expansions.
●Only set screen resolutions and refresh rates that are specified in the
operating manual for the monitor. Otherwise, you may damage your
monitor. If you are in any doubt, contact your sales outlet or customer
service center.
Batteries
VCAUTION!
●Incorrect replacement of batteries may result in a risk of explosion.
The batteries may only be replaced with identical batteries or with a
type recommended by the manufacturer (see the technical manual for
the system board).
●Replace the lithium-battery on the system board in accordance with
the instructions in the technical manual for the system board.

TX120 Options Guide 17
Safety
Working with CDs/DVDs and CD/DVD drives
When working with devices with CD/DVD drives, these instructions must be
followed.
VCAUTION!
●Only use CDs/DVDs that are in perfect condition in your server's
CD/DVD drive, in order to prevent data loss, equipment damage and
injury.
●Check each CD/DVD for damage, cracks, breakages etc. before
inserting it in the drive.
Note that any additional labels applied may change the mechanical
properties of a CD/DVD and cause imbalance.
Damaged and imbalanced CDs/DVDs can break at high drive speeds
(data loss).
Under certain circumstances, sharp CD/DVD fragments can pierce
the cover of the CD/DVD drive (equipment damage) and can fly out
of the device (danger of injury, particularly to uncovered body parts
such as the face or neck).
IYou can prevent mechanical damage and damage to the CD/DVD drive,
as well as premature CD/DVD wear, by observing the following sugges-
tions:
– Only insert CDs/DVDs in the drive when needed and remove them
after use.
– Store the CDs/DVDs in suitable sleeves.
– Protect the CDs/DVDs from exposure to heat and direct sunlight.
Laser information
The CD/DVD drive complies with IEC 60825-1 laser class 1.
VCAUTION!
The CD/DVD drive contains a light-emitting diode (LED), which under
certain circumstances produces a laser beam stronger than laser
class 1. Looking directly at this beam is dangerous.
Never remove parts of the CD/DVD drive casing!

Safety
Modules with electrostatic-sensitive components
Systems and components that might be damaged by electrostatic discharge
(ESD) are marked with the following label:
Figure 1: ESD label
When you handle components fitted with ESDs, you must observe the following
points under all circumstances:
●Remove the power plug before installing or removing components
containing ESDs.
●You must always discharge yourself of static charges (e.g. by touching a
grounded object) before working.
●The equipment and tools you use must be free of static charges.
●Only touch the components at the positions highlighted in green (touch
points).
●Do not touch any exposed pins or conductors on a component.
●Use a grounding cable designed for this purpose to connect yourself to the
system unit as you install components.
●Place all components on a static-safe base.
IYou will find a detailed description for handling ESD components in the
relevant European or international standards (DIN EN 61340-5-1,
ANSI/ESD S20.20).
