• The AC input rating for the 750W (max) power supply units are as follows:
100-240 VAC, 12-6A, 47/63 Hz.
• The unit is completely disconnected from the power source only when all
power cords are disconnected from the power source. Therefore the power
cord(s) 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.
• Manufacturer recommended ambient temperature is 21°C
• 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/service may only be carried out by a Themis Computer qualified ser-
vice technician.
• Do not open the chassis, or perform services/repairs when the equipment is
powered on, due to electrical shock hazard.
• The device may only be opened for the installation and removal of extension
(PCI) cards, memory modules, storage drives, fan housings, power supplies,
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

vii
Themis Computer

Safety Instructions
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
Finnish: laite on liitettävä suoja maadoituskoskettimilla varustettuun pistorasiaan
Norwegian: Apparatet må tilkoples jordet stikkontakt
Swedish: Apparaten skall anslutas till jordat uttag
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.
2. Use anti-static mats, heel straps, or air ionizers to give added protection.
3. Provide a wrist strap connected to a work surface and properly ground tools and
equipment.
4. Handle electrostatic-sensitive components, boards, and assemblies by the case
or the PCB edge.
5. Avoid contact with pins, leads, or circuitry.

viii Themis Computer
RES-XR4-1U Installation Manual Version 1.5
6. Turn off power and input signals before inserting and removing connectors or
test equipment. Power is not considered off until all power supplies have been
disconnected.
7. Keep the work area free of non-conductive materials such as ordinary plastic as-
sembly aids and Styrofoam.
8. Use field service tools, such as cutters, screwdrivers, and vacuums that are con-
ductive.
9. Always place drives and boards PCB-assembly-side down on the foam.
10. Grounding wire size shall be no less than 16 AWG.
11. Overcurrent Protection relies on proper building installation and Earth connec-
tion (ground).
12. High Voltage; Earth connection is essential before connecting the power supply
units

Elektrostatische Entladung (ESD)
Eine plötzliche elektrostatische Entladung kann empfindliche Geräte oder Mikros-
chaltungen zerstören. Dem ist durch ordnungsgemäße Verpackung und Erdung
unbedingt vorzubeugen. Die folgenden Vorsichtsmaßnahmen sind jederzeit zu
beachten:
1. Transportieren Sie Platinen in elektrostatisch sicheren Behältern oder Taschen.
2. Belassen Sie elektrostatisch empfindliche Bauteile bis zum Eintreffen an einem
antistatischen Ort in ihrem Behälter.

stets auf eine gute Eigenerdung.
4. Lagern Sie elektrostatisch empfindliche Platinen in Schutzverpackungen oder
auf leitfähigem Schaumstoff.
Erdungsmethoden
Die folgenden Maßnahmen schützen vor elektrostatischen Schäden am Arbe-
itsplatz:
1. Legen Sie am Arbeitsplatz geeignete Antistatikmatten aus. Tragen Sie ein Er-
dungsarmband, das mit dem Arbeitsplatz verbunden ist, und verwenden Sie nur
ausreichend geerdete Arbeitsmittel.
2. Verwenden Sie als zusätzlichen Schutz geeignete Antistatikfußmatten, Fersen-
bänder oder Luftionisatoren.
3. Fassen Sie elektrostatisch empfindliche Bauteile, Platinen und Baugruppen nur
am Gehäuse oder am Rand an.
4. Vermeiden Sie den Kontakt mit Stiften, Leitungen und Leiterbahnen.
5. Schalten Sie vor dem Anschließen und Trennen von Steckverbindern oder Prüf-
geräten alle Spannungs- und Signalquellen aus.

xiii
Themis Computer
RES-XR4-1U Betriebshandbuch
Sicherheitshinweise
6. Verwenden Sie am Arbeitsplatz keine nichtleitenden Materialien, wie gewöhn-
liche Kunststoffmontagehilfen oder Styropor.
7. Benutzen Sie leitende Werkzeuge (z.B. Messer, Schraubendreher und Staubsau-
ger).
8. Legen Sie Laufwerke und Platinen immer mit der Bauteilseite nach unten auf
die Schaumstoffunterlage.
9. Die Größe der Erdungsleitung sollte nicht weniger als 16 AWG betragen.
10. Überstromschutz ist auf ordnungsgemäße Gebäudeinstallation und richtigen
Erdungsanschluss (Masse) angewiesen.
