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.

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.

Network Computing Platforms
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 megohms (Mohms).
Mounting Installation Environment Precaution
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. Mechanical Loading - Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such that a
hazardous condition is not achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.
4. 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.
5. 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).”

Consignes de sécurité
Suivez ces consignes pour assurer la securite generale :
Laissez la zone du chassis propre et sans poussiere pendant et apres l’installation.
Ne portez pas de vetements amples ou de bijoux qui pourraient etre pris dans le chassis.
Attachez votre cravate ou echarpe et remontez vos manches.
Portez des lunettes de securite pour proteger vosmyeux.
N’effectuez aucune action qui pourrait creer un dangermpour d’autres ou rendre
l’equipement dangereux.
Coupez completement l’alimentation en eteignant l’alimentation et en debranchant le
cordon d’alimentation avant d’installer ou de retirer un chassis ou de travailler a proximite
de sources d’alimentation.
Ne travaillez pas seul si des conditions dangereuses sont presentes.
Ne considerez jamais que l’alimentation est coupee d’un circuit, verifiez toujours le circuit.
Cet appareil genere, utilise et emet une energie radiofrequence et, s’il n’est pas installe et
utilise conformement aux instructions des fournisseurs de composants sans fil, il risque de
provoquer des interferences dans les communications radio.
Avertissement concernant la pile au lithium
Risque d’explosion si la pile est remplacee par une autre d’un mauvais type.
Jetez les piles usagees conformement aux instructions.
L’installation doit etre effectuee par un electricien forme ou une personne formee a
l’electricite connaissant toutes les specifications d’installation et d’appareil du produit.
Ne transportez pas l’unite en la tenant par le cable d’alimentation lorsque vous deplacez
l’appareil.
La machine ne peut etre utilisee qu’a un lieu fixe comme en laboratoire, salle d’ordinateurs
ou salle de classe.
Sécurité de fonctionnement
L’equipement electrique genere de la chaleur. La temperature ambiante peut ne pas etre
adequate pour refroidir l’equipement a une temperature de fonctionnement acceptable
sans circulation adaptee. Verifiez que votre site propose une circulation d’air adequate.
Verifiez que le couvercle du chassis est bien fixe. La conception du chassis permet a l’air
de refroidissement de bien circuler. Un chassis ouvert laisse l’air s’echapper, ce qui peut
interrompre et rediriger le flux d’air frais destine aux composants internes.
Les decharges electrostatiques (ESD) peuvent endommager l’equipement et gener les

Network Computing Platforms
circuits electriques. Des degats d’ESD surviennent lorsque des composants electroniques
sont mal manipules et peuvent causer des pannes totales ou intermittentes. Suivez les
procedures de prevention d’ESD lors du retrait et du remplacement de composants.
- Portez un bracelet anti-ESD et veillez a ce qu’il soit bien au contact de la peau. Si aucun
bracelet n’est disponible, reliez votre corps a la terre en touchant la partie metallique du
chassis. Verifiez regulierement la valeur de resistance du bracelet antistatique, qui doit etre
comprise entre 1 et 10 megohms (Mohms).
Consignes de sécurité électrique
Avant d’allumer l’appareil, reliez le cable de mise a la terre de l’equipement a la terre.
Une bonne mise a la terre (connexion a la terre) est tres importante pour proteger l
equipement contre les effets nefastes du bruit externe et reduire les risques d’electrocution
en cas de foudre.
Pour desinstaller l’equipement, debranchez le cable de mise a la terre apres avoir eteint
l’appareil.
Un cable de mise a la terre est requis et la zone reliant les sections du conducteur doit
faire plus de 4 mm2 ou 10 AWG.
Procédure de mise à la terre pour source
d’alimentation CC Procédure de mise à la terre pour
source d’alimentation CC
•Desserrez la vis du terminal de mise a la terre.
• Branchez le cable de mise a la terre a la terre.
• L’appareil de protection pour la source d’alimentation
CC doit fournir 30 A de courant. Cet appareil de protection doit etre branche a la source
d’alimentation avant l’alimentation CC.
