4. Important Notices
Chapter 5 and 6 contain cautions that must be taken when you operate the Rack Console,
and information related to safety. Carefully read these chapters to use the Rack Console
correctly.
5. Safety
Safety Precautions
Condensation may occur on this device. Before using the Rack Console, allow it to dry out
completely and to reach the ambient temperature of the installation location.
Make sure that the voltage supplied by the outlet to which the device is connected is within
the acceptable range of the device. Also, make sure that the rated voltage meets the
specification of the device. (Refer to "15. Technical Specifications" and the model plate on
the device.)
The Rack Console's power cable is specially certified. Use it only for the power outlet of
the Rack Console. Otherwise, electric shocks or short circuits may occur.
Arrange the immediate area around the Rack Console's power socket and the rack's
power outlet so that the plug can be quickly pulled.
Lay all the cables so that they are not damaged. Refer to the relevant sections in "8
Installation" when you connect or remove cables.
Do not connect or remove the data cables during thunderstorms.
Be careful not to get any objects, such as necklaces or paperclips caught (or any liquids
spilt) inside the device.
In an emergency (e.g., damage to the housing, parts or cables; or if an object or liquid has
fallen into the device), remove all the power cables as soon as possible and contact the
store where you purchased the device or a Fujitsu maintenance representative.
Only licensed engineers may repair the device. If any unlicensed user opens the device
and makes incorrect repairs, electric shocks or fire may occur.
Note that when the device is open, the corners may cause injury if bumped into. Always be
careful when the device is open.
We recommend that you store this device in the rack when it is not in use, or when you
operate other devices such as a server or other peripheral equipment.
Using the keyboard when you are in poor health, or using the keyboard for extended
periods of time should be avoided.
Always hold the connector portion and do not jerk cables when you remove them.
Avoid operating the device with wet hands.
Do not insert or remove connectors when your hands are wet.
Do not place unnecessary items, such as a cup, on the device.
Do not modify or repair the device.
Only licensed personnel can dismantle, remove, or replace parts, such as the power
supply unit, which bear a warning mark (such as a lightning bolt mark).
You can specify only the resolutions and refresh rates specified in the monitor explanation
in "11-3. Adjusting the Monitor". Contact the store where you purchased the device or a
Fujitsu maintenance representative if you have any questions.
The data cables that are used for peripheral equipment must be adequately insulated in
order to prevent interference.
To cut the power supplied to this device through the power outlet, unplug the power plug of
this device from the power outlet.
CAUTION

Follow the instructions in the appropriate section in "13. Cleaning the Rack Console" when
you clean this device.
Keep this manual handy for reference with the device at all times. If you give the device to
a third party, give the third party this manual as well.
Do not use the device as a stepladder or lean against the device with it drawn out. Doing
so may unbalance the rack, causing it to fall over.
Some components of the device (such as LCD, etc.) have a limited service life. In cases of
extended continuous use, these components will need early replacement.
The estimated period for reliable use of the device (service life) is 5 years. [Note] This
period is estimated under assumption of a usage pattern of 8 hours a day, 200 hours a
month, at an ambient temperature of 25°C. This service life (5 years) does not apply for
some limited life components.
The socket-outlet shall be installed near the equipment and shall be easily accessible.
6. Rack Mount Instructions
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) specified by the manufacturer.
Reduced Air Flow – Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such that the amount
of air flow required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.
Mechanical Loading – Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such that a
hazardous condition is not achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.
Circuit Overloading – Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to
the supply circuit and the effect that overloading of the circuits might have on overcurrent
protection and supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate ratings
should be used when addressing this concern.
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).
Slide/rail mounted equipment is not to be used as a shelf or a work space.
7. Moving the Rack Console
When you move the Rack Console to a different location, use the box
in which it was purchased, or another box to protect it from damage. Do
not unpack the Rack Console before you finish moving the Rack
Console.
CAUTION

Attach cables on the folded cable management part without any slack in the
cables between fixing points.
Slack cables may dangle unnecessarily when the device is installed.
