Safety Precautions
Technician Notes
Only authorized technicians should attempt to repair this equipment.
Before installing this system, carefully read all the manuals included with the system.
All repair procedures allow only module replacement. Because of the complexity of the individual boards
and sub-assembles, no one should attempt to make repairs at the component level or make modifications to
any printed wiring board. Improper repairs can create a safety hazard.
To reduce the risk of personal injury from electric shock and hazardous energy levels, do not exceed the
level of repairs specified in these procedures.
The system is designed to be electrically grounded. To ensure proper operation, plug the AC power cord
into a properly grounded AC outlet only.
Electrostatic Discharge Precautions
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage static sensitive devices or micro circuitry. Proper packaging and
grounding techniques are required to prevent damage.
Keep electrostatic-sensitive parts in their containers until they arrive at a static free work area.
Use a wrist strap connected to the work surface as well as properly grounded tools and equipment
Keep the area free of nonconductive materials such as ordinary plastic tools and foam packing.
Avoid touching pins, leads, or circuitry.
Always place drives with printed circuit board (PCB) assembly-side down.
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.
Rack Warnings
If you plan to rack mount the AS175, please follow the rack manufacturer’s safety instructions.
Install the enclosure only in a rack that has been properly secured in an area with suitable environmental
conditions.
Have someone assist you during physical installation.
To properly ventilate the system, you must provide at least 7.6 cm of clearance at the front and back of the
system.
To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to equipment, always ensure that the rack is adequately
stabilized prior to extending a component outside the rack. A rack may become unstable if more than one
component is extended. Extend only one at a time.
Do not stand or step on any components in the rack.

5
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.
Do not overload the AC power supply branch circuit that provides power to the rack. Observe extension
cable and power strip ratings. Ensure that the total ampere rating of all equipment plugged into the
extension cable or power strip does not exceed 80 percent of the ampere ratings limit for the extension
cable or power strip.
System Warnings
Avoid dust, humidity, and extreme temperatures; place the system on a stable surface.
To reduce the risk of personal injury from hot surfaces, allow the hot-plug disk modules and other system
modules to cool before touching them.
To reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to the equipment, do not disable the power cord grounding
plug. The grounding plug is an important safety feature.
Ensure the power cord is inserted into a grounded electrical outlet that is easily accessible at all times.
Unplug the power cord from the power supply module to shut off power to the equipment
Protect the storage system from power fluctuations and temporary power interruptions with a regulating
uninterruptible power supply (UPS). This device protects the hardware from damage caused by power
surges and voltage spikes and keeps the system operational during a power failure.
The storage system must always be operated with all hot plug modules installed or slot covers in place to
ensure proper cooling.
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.

Product EMC Compliance
This product has been tested and verified to comply with the following electromagnetic compatibility (EMC)
regulations.
FCC CFR Title 47 Part 15 Subpart B: 2019 Class A
CISPR 22: 2008, ANSI C63.4: 2014
ICES-003 Issue 6: 2016 Class A
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 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.

7
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 your sales representative.
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 (2014/30/EU) and the Low-Voltage
Directive (2014/35/EU) issued by the Commission of the European Community.
Compliance with these directives implies conformity to the following European Norms (items in brackets are
the equivalent international standards):
Table 2: European Union Compliance
EN 55032:2015+AC: 2016 ClassA
Electromagnetic Interference
EN 55024:2010+A1: 2015

Canadian Notice (Avis Canadien)
Class A Equipment
Power Cords
The power cord set included in the system meets the requirements for use in the country where the system
was purchased. If this system is to be used in another country, contact your sales representative to
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 your sales representative.
The following statement applies only to rack-installed products that are GS-Marked:
This equipment is not intended for use at workplaces with visual display units, in accordance
with §2 of the German ordinance for workplaces with visual display units."
