Safety Instructions
To maximize user safety and ensure correct device operation, all instructions con-
tained in this section should be read carefully.
• The device must be used in accordance with the instructions for use.
• Electrical installations in the room must correspond to the requirements of
respective regulations.
• Take care that there are no cables, particularly mains cables, in areas where
persons can trip over them.
• Do not use a mains connection in sockets shared by a number of other power
consumers. Do not use an extension cable.
• Only use the mains cable supplied.
• The unit is completely disconnected from the power source only when the
power cord is disconnected from the power source. Therefore the power cord
and its connectors must always remain easily accessible.
• Do not set up the device in the proximity of heat sources or in a damp location.
Make sure the device has adequate ventilation.
• All connection cables must be screwed or locked to the chassis housing.
• The device is designed to be used in horizontal position only.
• The device is no longer safe to operate when
— the device has visible damage or
— the device no longer functions.
• In these cases, the device must be shut down and secured against unintentional
operation.
• Repairs may only be carried out by a person authorized by Themis Computer.
• The device may only be opened for the installation and removal of extension
(PCI) cards, memory modules, storage drives, fan housings, power supplies,
Caution: It is important that the user observe all warnings and instructions
that are on the device and contained in this manual.

and the lithium battery—all in accordance with the instructions given in this
manual.
• If extensions are made to the device, the legal stipulations and the device spec-
ifications must be observed.
• The device must be switched off when removing the top cover; for example,
before installing extension (PCI) cards.
Operation of Laser Source Devices
DVD/CD-ROM drives contain laser light-emitting diodes (classified in accordance
with IEC 825-1:1993: LASER CLASS 1) and, therefore, must not be opened.
If the enclosure of such a drive is opened, invisible laser radiation is emitted. Do
not allow yourself to be exposed to this radiation.
The laser system meets the code of Federal Regulations 21 CFR,1040 for the USA
and Canadian Radiation Emitting Devices Act, REDR C 1370.
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)
A sudden discharge of electrostatic electricity can destroy static-sensitive devices
or micro-circuitry. Proper packaging and grounding techniques are necessary pre-
cautions to prevent damage. Always take the following precautions:
1. Transport boards in static-safe containers such as boxes or bags.
2. Keep electrostatic-sensitive parts in their containers until they arrive at static-
free stations.
3. Always be properly grounded when touching a sensitive board, component, or
assembly.
4. Store electrostatic-sensitive boards in protective packaging or on conductive
foam.
Grounding Methods
Guard against electrostatic damage at workstations by following these steps:
1. Cover workstations with approved anti-static material. Provide a wrist strap
connected to a work surface and properly grounded tools and equipment.

vi Themis Computer
RES-32XR3/FIO Installation Manual
2. Use anti-static mats, heel straps, or air ionizers to give added protection.
3. Handle electrostatic-sensitive components, boards, and assemblies by the case
or the PCB edge.
4. Avoid contact with pins, leads, or circuitry.
5. Turn off power and input signals before inserting and removing connectors or
test equipment.
6. Keep the work area free of non-conductive materials such as ordinary plastic as-
sembly aids and Styrofoam.
7. Use field service tools, such as cutters, screwdrivers, and vacuums that are con-
ductive.
8. Always place drives and boards PCB-assembly-side down on the foam.
Instructions for the Lithium Battery
Systems are equipped with a lithium battery installed on the motherboard. To
replace this battery, please observe the instructions that are described in this man-
ual.
Warning: There is a danger of explosion when the wrong type of battery is used
as a replacement.
