RACK MOUNT INSTRUCTIONS
A) 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.
B) 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.
C) Mechanical Loading – Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such that a hazardous condition is
not achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.
D) 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 over current protection and supply wiring.
Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this concern.
E) 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).

OPTICAL AND ACOUSTICAL STATEMENTS
VISIBLE LED STATEMENT
The LEDs on this DVR are classified as “Class 1 LED Product” in accordance with EN 60825-1.
LASER SAFETY STATEMENT FOR A CLASS 1 LASER PRODUCT
This DVD-ROM Storage device has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B 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 residential installation. 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. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, the
user can attempt to correct this by following one or more of the following measures:
•Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
•Increase the separation between the equipment and the receiver.
•Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that which the receiver is connected.
•Consult the dealer or an experienced radio TV technician for help.
The mass storage system does not product hazardous laser radiation. Because laser light emitted inside the
mass storage system is completely confined within the protective housings and external covers, the laser beam
cannot escape from the machine during any phase of user operation.
Caution Due to the extremely fast rotation speed of the DVD-ROM drive spindle motor
(9000 ~ 12000 rpm), the drive’s performance could be affected by using
substandard discs. These substandard discs may be damaged, or damage
the DVD-ROM drive.
•Check each DVD for cracks before using it. If there are cracks on the surface, especially on the border of
the center hole, do not use it in the DVD-ROM drive. Using such DVDs can cause irreparable damage to
the DVD-ROM drive.
•Do not leave DVDs in direct sunlight or hot, humid locations.
•Always remove DVDs from the drive after use.
•To protect DVDs from scratches, never touch the DVD face or place the DVD face down on a hard
surface.
•Do not affix highly adhesive stickers to a DVD.
