nIf this device is taken from a cold environment into the operating room,
moisture condensation may form. The device must be absolutely dry
before being put into service; an acclimatization period of at least two
hours must therefore be observed.
nThis device is equipped with a safety-tested power cable and may be
connected only to a prescribed grounded-contact power socket.
nWhen setting up the device, ensure that the power socket on the device
and the grounded-contact power socket are easily accessible.
nTo disconnect the device from the supply voltage completely, switch off
the device and disconnect the power plug of the power supply.
nEnsure that no foreign objects (e.g. office clips) find their way into the
device, as this may lead to electric shocks or short-circuits.
nNever plug in or unplug data communication lines during thunderstorms.
nProtect devices from vibrations, dust, moisture and heat.
nAlways dispose of used parts, such as batteries, in an environmentally
safe manner.
nThe ventilation slots must remain unobstructed to ensure sufficient

performance yet consume more than 30 % lesspower than those of
previous generations. The power supply unit complies with the strict 80
PLUS Bronze supply standard, operating with a constant energy
efficiency of over 82 %.
The addition of a powered interfaces for peripherals, power-saving functions
in the BIOS and operating system results in a marked reduction in power
consumption and the resulting CO2 emissions. These technologies enable
you not only to protect the environment but also to reduce running costs
and total cost of ownership.
