Safety Instructions
Before You Begin
Before handling the product, read the instructions and safety guidelines on the
following pages to prevent damage to the product and to ensure your own personal
safety. Refer to the “Advisories” section in the Preface for advisory conventions used
in this user’s guide, including the distinction between Warnings, Cautions, Important
Notes, and Notes.
Always use caution when handling/operating a computer. Only qualified,
experienced, authorized electronics service personnel should access the
interior of a computer. The power supplies produce high voltages and
energy hazards, which can cause bodily harm.
Use extreme caution when installing or removing components. Refer to the
installation instructions in this user’s guide for precautions and procedures.
If you have any questions, please contact Quanmax Post-Sales Technical
Support.
WARNING
High voltages are present inside the chassis when the unit’s power cord is
plugged into an electrical outlet. Turn off system power, turn off the power
supply, and then disconnect the power cord from its source before
removing the chassis cover. Turning off the system power switch does not
remove power to components.
When Working Inside a Computer
Before taking covers off a computer, perform the following steps:
1. Turn off the computer and any peripherals.
2. Disconnect the computer and peripherals from their power sources or
subsystems to prevent electric shock or system board damage. This does not
apply when hot swapping parts.

3. Follow the guidelines provided in “Preventing Electrostatic Discharge” on the
following page.
4. Disconnect any telephone or telecommunications lines from the computer.
In addition, take note of these safety guidelines when appropriate:
To help avoid possible damage to system boards, wait five seconds after
turning off the computer before removing a component, removing a system
board, or disconnecting a peripheral device from the computer.
When you disconnect a cable, pull on its connector or on its strain-relief loop,
not on the cable itself. Some cables have a connector with locking tabs. If you
are disconnecting this type of cable, press in on the locking tabs before
disconnecting the cable. As you pull connectors apart, keep them evenly
aligned to avoid bending any connector pins. Also, before connecting a cable,
make sure both connectors are correctly oriented and aligned.
CAUTION
Do not attempt to service the system yourself except as explained in this
user’s guide. Follow installation and troubleshooting instructions closely.
Preventing Electrostatic Discharge
Static electricity can harm system boards. Perform service at an ESD workstation
and follow proper ESD procedure to reduce the risk of damage to components.
Quanmax strongly encourages you to follow proper ESD procedure, which can
include wrist straps and smocks, when servicing equipment.
You can also take the following steps to prevent damage from electrostatic
discharge (ESD):
When unpacking a static-sensitive component from its shipping carton, do not
remove the component’s antistatic packing material until you are ready to install
the component in a computer. Just before unwrapping the antistatic packaging,
be sure you are at an ESD workstation or grounded. This will discharge any
static electricity that may have built up in your body.
When transporting a sensitive component, first place it in an antistatic container

or packaging.
Handle all sensitive components at an ESD workstation. If possible, use
antistatic floor pads and workbench pads.
Handle components and boards with care. Don’t touch the components or
contacts on a board. Hold a board by its edges or by its metal mounting bracket.
Do not handle or store system boards near strong electrostatic, electromagnetic,
magnetic, or radioactive fields.
