Electrical Safety
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:
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.
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 cable from the electrical outlet
before relocating the system.
When adding or removing any additional device 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.
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 cable and plug for user safety. Use the
power cable with a properly grounded electrical outlet to avoid electric shock.

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.

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

viii
installed in a business or commercial environment. Class B devices are those that may
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):
Table ii European Union EMC Requirements
EN55032 (CISPR 32) Electromagnetic Interference
EN55024 (IEC61000-4-2,3,4,5,6,8,11) Electromagnetic Immunity

Power Cords
The power cord set included in the server meets the requirements for use in the country
where the server was purchased. If this server is to be used in another country, purchase a
power cord that is approved for use in that country.
The power cord must be rated for the product and for the voltage and current marked on the
product's electrical ratings label. The voltage and current rating of the cord should be greater
than the voltage and current rating marked on the product. In addition, the cross-sectional
area of the wires must be a minimum of 1.00mm² or 18AWG, and the length of the cords must
be between 1.8m (6 feet) and 3.6m (12 feet). If you have questions about the type of power
cord to use, contact an authorized service provider.

Route power cords so that they will not be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or
against them. Pay particular attention to the plug, electrical outlet, and the point where the
cords exit from the product.
Rack Mount Instructions
The following or similar rack-mount instructions are included with the installation instructions:
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.
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.
Mechanical Loading - Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such that a
hazardous condition is not achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.
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 overcurrent
protection and supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate ratings
should be used when addressing this concern.
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).
