Safety Precautions 安全注意事項
Technician Notes 技術人員須知
Only authorized technicians should attempt to repair this equipment.
請僅交由經授權的技術人員修理本設備。
Before installing this system, carefully read all the manuals included with the
system.
在安裝本系統前，請仔細閱讀系統所隨附的各項手冊。
All repair procedures allow only module replacement. Because of the complexity of
the individual boards and sub-assemblies, 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.
所有修理程序皆僅能進行模組更換。由於個別電路板及子組件極為複雜，任何人皆不
應執行元件層級的修理，或對任何印刷電路板進行修改。不當的修理可能會造成安全
性危險。
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.
為降低因觸電及危險能量等級所導致人身傷害或設備損壞的風險，請勿超出維修程序
所規定的維修等級。
The system is designed to be electrically grounded. To ensure proper operation,
plug the AC power cord into a properly grounded AC outlet only.
系統原始設計採取電力接地。為確保正常運作，請僅將 AC 電源線插入適當接地的 AC
插座。
Electrostatic Discharge Precautions 靜電放電注意事項
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage static sensitive devices or micro circuitry.
Proper packaging and grounding techniques are required to prevent damage.

Rev. 1, May 2013
iv
靜電放電(ESD)可能會損壞對靜電敏感的裝置或微型電路。故必須採用適當的包裝及
接地技術，以防止靜電損壞。
Keep electrostatic-sensitive parts in their containers until they arrive at a static free
work area.
請將對靜電敏感的零件放置於其容具中，直到抵達無靜電工作區域後再行取出。
Use a wrist strap connected to the work surface as well as properly grounded tools
and equipment
請使用已連結至工作表面的腕帶，以及適當接地的工具及設備。
Keep the area free of nonconductive materials such as ordinary plastic tools and
foam packing.
請清除工作區域中的所有非傳導性材質，例如一般的塑膠工具及泡棉包裝材料。
Avoid touching pins, leads, or circuitry.
請避免碰觸任何接腳、導線或電路。
Always place drives with printed circuit board (PCB) assembly-side down.
請以印刷電路板(PCB)組件側朝下放置磁碟機。
Grasp cards and boards by the edges. Hold drives by the frame. Avoid touching the
solder joints or pins.
請由邊緣握住卡片及電路板，手持磁碟機的邊架，並避免碰觸焊接點或接腳。
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.
若您將裝置由防靜電袋中取出後需要另行置放，請置放於防靜電袋上。在下次拿起裝
置前，請同時觸碰防靜電袋及系統機組的金屬邊架。
Battery Replacement Safety 電池更換安全性
This storage 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.

本儲存裝置提供內建鋰離子電池或電池套件。若未正確更換或不當處理電池，則可能
有爆炸的危險及產生人身傷害的風險。
For more information about battery replacement or proper disposal, contact an
authorized reseller or your authorized service provider.
若想瞭解更多有關更換或適當處置電池的資訊，請聯絡授權經銷商或授權之服務供應

Rack Warnings
If you plan to rack mount the PixelStor 5000, 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.
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.
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, Aand B, depending upon their

intended installation. Class Adevices 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.
The rating label on the device shows which class (A or B) the equipment falls into. ClassA
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.
