This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of FCC Rules.
These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. 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. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation.
If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off
and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
1. Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
2. Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
3. Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
4. Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/television technician for help.
Notice 1:
The changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate

To remove a hot-swappable redundant power supply, please follow the steps as shown below.
1. Using a flat-head screwdriver, turn the screw counter clockwise to loosen the power supply.
2. Push the metal lock towards the power supply as shown below and gently pull out the power supply using the metal handle.
40
The power supply subsystem
should supply a minimum of
337-Watts to the whole
system. If you only have
one power supply or if you
have two power supplies and
are planning to remove both
of them, remember to turn off
the power first and disconnect
the power cord from the
electrical outlet.
The DX34-U / DX34 Plus-U supports the power management function that confirms to the power-saving standards of the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Energy Star program. It also offers Plug-and-Play which helps save users from configuration
problems, thus making to system more user-friendly.
Hardware Monitoring Management
The DX34-U / DX34 Plus-U additional feature includes hardware support for ASM (Advanced Server Management). ASM detects
problems in CPU thermal condition, CPU working voltage detection (±12V/±5V/ 3.3V/1.5V), and PCI bus utilization calculation. It also
detects if the CPU fan or the chassis fan malfunctions.
Super Multi-I/O
The DX34-U / DX34 Plus-U provides two high-speed UART compatible serial ports and one parallel port with EPP and ECP capabilities.
UART2 can also be directed from COM2 to the Infrared Module for the wireless connections.
The onboard I/O devices are PS/2 Keyboard, PS/2 Mouse, serial ports COM1 and COM2, Printer, USB, RJ45 LA. The view angle of
drawing shown here is from the back panel of the housing.
PS/2 Keyboard: For standard keyboard, which is using a PS/2 plug.
PS/2 Mouse: For PC-Mouse, which is using a PS/2 plug.
USB Port: Available for connecting USB devices.
Parallel Port: To connect with SPP/ECP/EPP printer.
COM1 Port: To connect with pointing devices, modem or others serial devices.
Most of system had already configured by the manufacturer or the dealer. There is no need to run BIOS setup program when starting
the computer unless you get a run setup program message.
The setup program loads configuration values into the battery-backed nonvolatile memory called CMOS RAM. This memory area is not
part of the system RAM.
If you repeatedly receive Run Setup messages, the
battery may be bad. In this case, the system cannot
retain configuration values in CMOS. Ask a qualified
technician for assistance.
The system will reboot immediately after you exit Setup.
The system supports two BIOS Utility levels: Basic and Advanced.
If you are an advanced user, you may want to check the detailed configuration of your system. Detailed system configurations are
contained in the Advanced Level. To view the Advanced Level, press
The asterisk (*) mark indicates that the parameter appears
only when you are in the Advanced Level.
The parameters on the screens show default values.
These values may not be the same as those in your
system.
The grayed items on the screens have fixed settings and
are not user-configurable.
