Compliances and Certification
CE Certification
This product has passed the CE test for environmental
specifications. Test conditions for passing included the
equipment being operated within an industrial enclosure.
In order to protect the product from being damaged by
ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) and EMI leakage, we
strongly recommend the use of CE-compliant industrial
enclosure products.
FCC Class A Certification
This equipment has been tested and found to comply
with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to
Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to
provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference when the equipment is operated in a
commercial environment. This equipment generates,
uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not
installed and used in accordance with the instruction
manual, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. Operation of this equipment in a
residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in
which case the user will be required to correct the
interference at his own expense.

EMC Notice
This equipment has been tested and found to comply
with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to
Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to
provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference when the equipment is operated in a
commercial environment.
This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio
frequency energy and, if not installed and used in
accordance with the instruction manual, may cause
harmful interference to radio communications. Operation
of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause
harmful interference in which case users will be required
to correct the interference at their own expense.
Safety Guidelines
Follow these guidelines to ensure general safety:
• Keep the chassis area clear and dust-free before,
during and after installation.
• Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry that could get
caught in the chassis. Fasten your tie or scarf and roll up
your sleeves.
• Wear safety glasses/goggles if you are working under
any conditions that might be hazardous to your eyes.
• Do not perform any action that creates a potential
hazard to people or makes the equipment unsafe.
• Disconnect all power by turning off the power and
unplugging the power cord before installing or removing a
chassis or working near power supplies
• Do not work alone if potentially hazardous conditions
exist.
• Never assume that power is disconnected from a circuit;
always check the circuit.
LITHIUM BATTERY CAUTION:
Risk of explosion could occur if battery is replaced by an
incorrect type. Please dispose of used batteries
according to the recycling instructions of your country.
• Installation only by a trained electrician or only by an
electrically trained person who knows all the applied or
related installation and device specifications.
• Do not carry the handle of power supplies when moving
to other place.
• The machine can only be used in a fixed location such
as labs or computer facilities.
Operating Safety
• Electrical equipment generates heat. Ambient air
temperature may not be adequate to cool equipment to
acceptable operating temperatures without adequate
circulation. Be sure that the room in which you choose to
operate your system has adequate air circulation.
• Ensure that the chassis cover is secure. The chassis
design allows cooling air to circulate effectively. An open
chassis permits air leaks, which may interrupt and
redirect the flow of cooling air from internal components.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage equipment
and impair electrical circuitry. ESD damage occurs when
electronic components are improperly handled and can
result in complete or intermittent failures. Be sure to
follow ESD-prevention procedures when removing and
replacing components to avoid these problems.
• Wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap, ensuring that it
makes good skin contact. If no wrist strap is available,
ground yourself by touching the metal part of the chassis.
• Periodically check the resistance value of the antistatic
strap, which should be between 1 and 10 mega ohms
(Mohms).

turn off the computer and unplug the power cord from the power supply. After waiting for 15 seconds, use a jumper cap
to short pin2 and pin3 on CLRCMOS1 for 5 seconds. However, please do not clear the CMOS right after you update the
BIOS. If you need to clear the CMOS when you just finish updating the BIOS, you must boot up the system first, and
then shut it down before you do the clear-CMOS action. Please be noted that the password, date, time, user default
profile and MAC address will be cleared only if the CMOS battery is removed.

WARNING: Connect the power switch, reset switch and system status indicator on the chassis to this
header according to the pin assignments below. Note the positive and negative pins before connecting
the cables.
PWRBTN (Power Switch):
Connect to the power switch on the chassis front panel. You may configure the way to turn off your system using the
power switch.
RESET (Reset Switch):
Connect to the reset switch on the chassis front panel. Press the reset switch to restart the computer if the computer
freezes and fails to perform a normal restart.
PLED (System Power LED):
Connect to the power status indicator on the chassis front panel. The LED is on when the system is operating. The LED
keeps blinking when the sys-tem is in S1 sleep state. The LED is off when the system is in S3/S4 sleep state or powered
off (S5).

Chapter 4: Hardware Setup
4.1 Preparing the Hardware Installation
To access some components and perform certain service procedures, you must perform the following procedures first.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury, electric shock, or damage to the equipment, remove the
power cord to remove power from the server. The power switch button does not completely shut off
system power. Portions of the power supply and some internal circuitry remain active until power is
removed.
1. Unpowered the EBC-310L and remove the power cord.
2. Turn the device upside down.
3. Unscrew the 4 rubber feet from the bottom cover.
4. Open the cover.
