device.
Regarding the standards of workstation regulations, do not place the server in the visual field
of the user, because of the glossy front of the case.
The product is non-consumer product and for profession technical person used only.
Operation Safety
Any operation on this server must be conducted by certified or experienced engineers.
Before operating your server, carefully read all the manuals included with the server
package.
Before using the server, make sure that all cables are correctly connected and power cords
are not damaged. If any damage is detected, contact your dealer as soon as possible.
To avoid short circuits, keep paper clips, screws, and staples away from connectors, slots,
sockets and circuitry.
Before opening the chassis panels, make sure all power cords are unplugged.
Avoid dust, humidity, and extreme temperatures, place the server on a stable surface.
If the power supply is broken, do not try to fix it by yourself. Contact an authorized dealer.
It is recommended that you wear gloves when assembling or disassembling the server to
protect from cuts and scrapes.
When the server is powered on, heat sinks and the surfaces of certain IC devices may be hot.
Do not touch them. Check whether the fans are functioning properly.
Electrical Safety
Before installing or removing signal cables, ensure that the power cords for the system unit
and all attached devices are unplugged.
To prevent electric shock hazard, disconnect the power cord from the electrical outlet before
relocating the system.
When adding or removing any additional devices to or from the system, ensure that the
power cords for those devices are unplugged before the signal cables are connected. If
possible, disconnect all power cords from the existing system before you add a device.

iv
Use one hand, when possible, to connect or disconnect signal cables to prevent a possible
shock from touching two surfaces with different electrical potentials.
This product is equipped with a three-wire power cord and plug for user safety. Use the
power cord with a properly Grounded electrical outlet to avoid electric shock.
Motherboards, adapters, and disk drives are sensitive to static electricity discharge. These
devices are wrapped in antistatic bags to prevent this damage. Take the following
precautions:
If you have an antistatic wrist strap available, use it while handling the device.
Do not remove the device from the antistatic bag until you are ready to install the device in
the system unit.
With the device still in its antistatic bag, touch it to a metal frame of the system.
Grasp cards and boards by the edges. Hold drives by the frame. Avoid touching the solder
joints or pins.
If you need to lay the device down while it is out of the antistatic bag. Lay it on the antistatic
bag. Before picking it up again, touch the antistatic bag and the metal frame of the system
unit at the same time.
Handle the devices carefully to prevent permanent damage.
Battery Replacement Safety
This server is provided with an internal Lithium battery or battery pack. There is a danger of
explosion and risk of personal injury if the battery is incorrectly replaced or mistreated.
For more information about battery replacement or proper disposal, contact an authorized
reseller or your authorized service provider.
This server contains an internal Lithium Manganese Dioxide, or a Vanadium Pentoxide, or
an alkaline battery pack. There is risk of fire and burns if the battery pack is not handled
properly. To reduce the risk of personal injury:
Do not attempt to recharge the battery.
Do not expose to temperatures higher than 70°C.
Do not disassemble, crush, puncture, shorten external contacts, or dispose in fire or water.
Replace only with the spare parts designated for this product.

v
Batteries should not be littered along with the general household waste. Please use the
public collection system or return them to the supplier.
Laser Peripherals or Devices Safety
To avoid risk of radiation exposure and/or personal injury:
Do not open the enclosure of any laser peripheral or device.
Laser peripherals or devices are not user serviceable.
Return to manufacturer for servicing.

Tests for Flammability of Plastic Materials for Parts in Devices &
Appliances
Product EMC Compliance
This product has been tested and verified to comply with the following electromagnetic
compatibility (EMC) regulations.
Communications Commission Notice
Part 15 of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Rules and Regulations has
established Radio Frequency (RF) emission limits to provide an interference-free radio
frequency spectrum. Many electronic devices, including computers, generate RF energy
incidental to their intended function and are, therefore, covered by these rules. These rules
place computers and related peripheral devices into two classes, A and B, depending upon
their intended installation. Class A devices are those that may reasonably be expected to be
installed in a business or commercial environment. Class B devices are those that may
Only typical operating system is requested to comply with EMC regulations. Specific
regulation is based on sales region.

vii
reasonably be expected to be installed in a residential environment (for example, personal
computers). The FCC requires devices in both classes to bear a label indicating the
interference potential of the device as well as additional operating instructions for the user.
The rating label on the device shows which class (A or B) the equipment falls into. Class A
devices do not have an FCC logo or FCC ID on the label. Class B devices have an FCC logo
or FCC ID on the label. Once the class of the device is determined, refer to the following
corresponding statement.
Class A Equipment
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 instructions, 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 personal expense.
Declaration of Conformity for Products Marked with the FCC Logo—United States
Only
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules Operation and is subject to the following
two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must
accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired
operation.
For questions regarding your product, please contact the supplier.
To identify this product, refer to the Part, Series, or Model number found on the product.
European Union Notice
Products with the CE Marking comply with both the EMC Directive (89/336/EEC) and the
Low-Voltage Directive (73/23/EEC) issued by the Commission of the European Community.
Compliance with these directives implies conformity to the following European Norms (in
brackets are the equivalent international standards):
