EMC (Results below)
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.

system to show compliance with the above mentioned requirements. A proper installation
in a compliant system will maintain the required performance. Use only shielded cables
when connecting peripherals to assure that appropriate radio frequency emissions
compliance is maintained.
Operation
Product Damage
High humidity and condensation on the board surface causes short circuits.
Do not operate the board outside the specified environmental limits.
Make sure the board is completely dry and there is no moisture on any surface before
applying power.
Damage of Circuits
Electrostatic discharge and incorrect installation and removal can damage circuits or
shorten its life.
Before touching the board or electronic components, make sure that you are working in an
ESD-safe environment.
Board Malfunction
Switches marked as “reserved” might carry production-related functions and can cause the
board to malfunction if their setting is changed.
Do not change settings of switches marked as “reserved”. The setting of switches which
are not marked as “reserved” has to be checked and changed before board installation.
Installation
Data Loss
Powering down or removing a board before the operating system or other software running
on the board has been properly shut down may cause corruption of data or file systems.
Make sure all software is completely shut down before removing power from the board or
removing the board from the chassis.
Product Damage
Only use injector handles for board insertion to avoid damage to the front panel and/or
PCB. Deformation of the front panel can cause an electrical short or other board
malfunction.
