Normal
operation
The unit may be damaged or operating abnormally.
- Follow the precautions, warnings, and instructions shown on the
main unit.
- Do not block the vent holes.
- Do not install the main unit in a location exposed to direct sunlight
or close to a device that may generate large amounts of heat.
- Do not install the main unit in a location exposed to large amounts
of dust, corrosive gas, or salt spray.
-Do not install the main unit in a location subject to strong vibration.
Install the main unit on a flat surface.
- Use grounded Category 3 wiring or better. Using another type of
grounded wiring may cause abnormal operation.
- Do not route cables under the main unit. Do not allow cables to
become taut.
-Do not disconnect the power cables while the main unit power is on.
-If it is hard to push the connector latch of a LAN cable or other cable
when attempting to disconnect the cable, push it with a flathead
screwdriver. Forcibly inserting a finger may cause personal injury
or damage the unit.
- Do not place anything on top of the main unit. Do not work above
or on top of the main unit.
- Prevent rapid rises in the ambient temperature during winter. Such
an abrupt temperature change may cause condensation to form in the
main unit. Allow sufficient warm-up time before starting operation.
- Do not install the main unit close to a photocopier, air-conditioning
unit, welder, or other device that generates electromagnetic noise.
- Do not install the main unit close to a device that generates large
amounts of electrical noise.
- Do not connect the main unit to the same power supply line as an
elevator in the facility or other equipment that would expose it to
sudden voltage drops.
- Implement antistatic measures at the installation site.
- Confirm that the power supply voltage and frequency are adequate
according to the respective ratings shown on the main unit.
- Do not insert or drop foreign matter into the openings of the main
unit. The main unit contains high-voltage components. If any
metallic matter or other electro-conductive object enters the main
unit through an opening, it may cause a short circuit. This may lead
to fire, electric shock, or damage to the main unit.
- For details on maintenance of the main unit, contact the distributor
where you purchased your product, or your sales representative.

Noteon erasingdatafrom harddisks whendisposing oftheproduct ortransferring
itDisposing of this product or transferring it as is may enable third parties to access the data on the hard disk and use
it for unforeseen purposes. To prevent the leakage of confidential information and important data, all of the data
on the hard disk must be erased before disposal or transfer of the product.
However, it can be difficult to completely erase all of the data from the hard disk. Simply initializing (reformatting)
the hard disk or deleting files on the operating system is insufficient to erase the data, even though the data appears
ataglance to have been erased. This type of operation only makes itimpossibletoaccess the data from the operating
system. Malicious third parties can restore this data.
If you save your confidential information or other important data on the hard disk, you should completely erase the
data, instead of simply carrying out the aforementioned operation, to prevent the data from being restored.
PRIMEQUEST 1000 Series Installation Manual
Preface
xiii C122-E107-09EN

To prevent important data on the hard disk from being leaked when the product is disposed of or transferred, you
will need to take care to erase all the data recorded on the hard disk on your own responsibility.
Furthermore, if a software license agreement restricts the transfer of the software (operating system and application
software) on the hard disk in the server or other product to a third party, transferring the product without deleting
the software from the hard disk may violate the agreement. Adequate verification from this point of view is also
necessary.
