Regulatory Compliance Statements

This section provides the FCC compliance statement for Class A devices

and describes how to keep the system CE compliant.

Declaration of Conformity

FCC

This equipment has been tested and verified to comply with the limits for

a Class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of FCC Rules. These limits are

designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference

when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equip-

ment 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 (domestic environment) is likely to cause harmful interfer-

ence, in which case the user will be required to correct the interference

(take adequate measures) at their own expense.

The product(s) described in this manual complies with all applicable Euro-

pean Union (CE) directives if it has a CE marking. For computer systems to

remain CE compliant, only CE-compliant parts may be used. Maintaining

CE compliance also requires proper cable and cabling techniques.

RoHS Compliance

NEXCOM RoHS Environmental Policy and Status

Update

NEXCOM is a global citizen for building the digital

infrastructure. We are committed to providing green

products and services, which are compliant with Euro-

pean Union RoHS (Restriction on Use of Hazardous Substance in Electronic

Equipment) directive 2002/95/EU, to be your trusted green partner and to

protect our environment.

RoHS restricts the use of Lead (Pb) < 0.1% or 1,000ppm, Mercury (Hg)

< 0.1% or 1,000ppm, Cadmium (Cd) < 0.01% or 100ppm, Hexavalent

Chromium (Cr6+) < 0.1% or 1,000ppm, Polybrominated biphenyls (PBB)

< 0.1% or 1,000ppm, and Polybrominated diphenyl Ethers (PBDE) < 0.1%

or 1,000ppm.

In order to meet the RoHS compliant directives, NEXCOM has established

an engineering and manufacturing task force in to implement the intro-

duction of green products. The task force will ensure that we follow the

standard NEXCOM development procedure and that all the new RoHS

components and new manufacturing processes maintain the highest

industry quality levels for which NEXCOM are renowned.

The model selection criteria will be based on market demand. Vendors and

suppliers will ensure that all designed components will be RoHS compliant.

How to recognize NEXCOM RoHS Products?

For existing products where there are non-RoHS and RoHS versions, the

suffix “(LF)” will be added to the compliant product name.

All new product models launched after January 2006 will be RoHS compli-

ant. They will use the usual NEXCOM naming convention.

Preface

Preface

Warnings

Read and adhere to all warnings, cautions, and notices in this guide and

the documentation supplied with the chassis, power supply, and accessory

modules. If the instructions for the chassis and power supply are incon-

sistent with these instructions or the instructions for accessory modules,

contact the supplier to find out how you can ensure that your computer

meets safety and regulatory requirements.

Cautions

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage system components. Do the de-

scribed procedures only at an ESD workstation. If no such station is avail-

able, you can provide some ESD protection by wearing an antistatic wrist

strap and attaching it to a metal part of the computer chassis.

Safety Information

Before installing and using the device, note the following precautions:

Read all instructions carefully.

▪

Do not place the unit on an unstable surface, cart, or stand.▪

Follow all warnings and cautions in this manual.▪

When replacing parts, ensure that your service technician uses parts▪

specified by the manufacturer.

Avoid using the system near water, in direct sunlight, or near a heating

▪

device.

The load of the system unit does not solely rely for support from the

▪

rackmounts located on the sides. Firm support from the bottom is highly

necessary in order to provide balance stability.

The computer is provided with a battery-powered real-time clock circuit.

▪

There is a danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace

only with the same or equivalent type recommended by the manufactur-

er. Discard used batteries according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Installation Recommendations

Ensure you have a stable, clean working environment. Dust and dirt can

get into components and cause a malfunction. Use containers to keep

small components separated.

Adequate lighting and proper tools can prevent you from accidentally

damaging the internal components. Most of the procedures that follow

require only a few simple tools, including the following:

A Philips screwdriver•

A flat-tipped screwdriver•

A grounding strap•

An anti-static pad•

Using your fingers can disconnect most of the connections. It is recom-

mended that you do not use needlenose pliers to disconnect connections

as these can damage the soft metal or plastic parts of the connectors.

10. Place the power cord in a way so that people will not step on it. Do

not place anything on top of the power cord. Use a power cord that

has been approved for use with the product and that it matches the

voltage and current marked on the product’s electrical range label.

The voltage and current rating of the cord must be greater than the

voltage and current rating marked on the product.

11. All cautions and warnings on the equipment should be noted.

12. If the equipment is not used for a long time, disconnect it from the

power source to avoid damage by transient overvoltage.

13. Never pour any liquid into an opening. This may cause fire or electri-

cal shock.

14. Never open the equipment. For safety reasons, the equipment should

be opened only by qualified service personnel.

c. The equipment has been exposed to moisture.

d. The equipment does not work well, or you cannot get it to work

according to the user’s manual.

e. The equipment has been dropped and damaged.

f. The equipment has obvious signs of breakage.

16. Do not place heavy objects on the equipment.

17. The unit uses a three-wire ground cable which is equipped with a

third pin to ground the unit and prevent electric shock. Do not defeat

the purpose of this pin. If your outlet does not support this kind of

plug, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet.

18. CAUTION: DANGER OF EXPLOSION IF BATTERY IS INCORRECTLY

REPLACED. REPLACE ONLY WITH THE SAME OR EQUIVALENT TYPE

RECOMMENDED BY THE MANUFACTURER. DISCARD USED BATTER-

IES ACCORDING TO THE MANUFACTURER’S INSTRUCTIONS.
