Health and Safety Information

Read the following warnings before setting up or using the appliance.

Warning - Do not block air vents. A minimum 1/2-inch clearance is required.

Warning - This appliance does not contain any user-serviceable parts. Do not remove any covers or attempt to gain access to the inside of the product. Opening the device or modifying it in any way has the risk of personal injury and will void your warranty. The following instructions are for trained service personnel only.

To prevent damage to any system board, it is important to handle it with care. The following measures are generally sufficient to protect your equipment from static electricity discharge:

 When handling the board, to use a grounded wrist strap designed for static discharge elimination.  Touch a grounded metal object before removing the board from the antistatic bag.  Handle the board by its edges only. Do not touch its components, peripheral chips, memory modules or

gold contacts.

 When handling processor chips or memory modules, avoid touching their pins or gold edge fingers.  Restore the communications appliance system board and peripherals back into the antistatic bag when

they are not in use or not installed in the chassis. Some circuitry on the system board can continue operating even though the power is switched off.

 Under no circumstances should the lithium battery cell used to power the real-time clock be allowed to

short. The battery cell may heat up under these conditions and present a burn hazard.

Warning - DANGER OF EXPLOSION IF BATTERY IS INCORRECTLY REPLACED. REPLACE ONLY WITH SAME OR EQUIVALENT TYPE RECOMMENDED BY THE MANUFACTURER. DISCARD USED BATTERIES ACCORDING TO THE MANUFACTURER’S INSTRUCTIONS.

 Disconnect the system board power supply from its power source before you connect or disconnect

cables or install or remove any system board components. Failure to do this can result in personnel injury or equipment damage.

 Avoid short-circuiting the lithium battery; this can cause it to superheat and cause burns if touched.  Do not operate the processor without a thermal solution. Damage to the processor can occur in

seconds.
