Electrical Safety Guidelines
Power Cords
Use the exact type of power cords as required.
Warning
To avoid electrical shock, check the power cords properly.
Use power cord(s) that came with safety certifications.
The power cord(s) must be compliant with the AC voltage requirements in your region.
The power cord plug cap must have an electrical current rating that is at least 125% of the electrical current rating of this product.
The power cord plug cap that plugs into the AC receptacle on the power supply must be an IEC 320, sheet C13, type female connector.
Disconnect the power supply before accessing the InfoCaster Rackmount chassis or its components.
Plug the power cord(s) into a socket that is properly grounded before turning on the power.
Warning
Adhere to the following Electrical Safety Guidelines to avoid possible damages to the system or injury to yourself.
General Electrical Safety Guidelines
Be aware of the locations of the power switches on the chassis and in the room, so you can disconnect the power supply if an accident occurs.
Take extra precautionary measures when working with high voltage components. It is not recommended to work alone.
Before removing or installing main system components, be sure to disconnect the power first. Turn off the system before you disconnect the power supply.
Use only one hand when working with powered-on electrical equipment to avoid possible electrical shock.
Use rubber mats specifically designed as electrical insulators when working with computer systems.
The power supply or power cord must include a grounding plug and must be plugged into grounded outlets.

After removing the components or chassis covers from the system, place them on a table for safeguard.
Be sure to remove any jewelry or metal objects before working on the chassis to avoid short circuits should these objects come into contact with power circuits.
After accessing the interior of the chassis, be sure to close the chassis with the chassis covers and secure the chassis to the racks with screws.
ESD Safety Guidelines
The following measures are generally sufficient to protect against Electric
Caution
Electric Static Discharge (ESD) can damage electronic components. To prevent damage to your system board, it is important to handle it very carefully.
xiv Preface
InfoCaster Rackmount Hardware Installation Manual
Statics Discharge (ESD).
Use a grounded wrist strap designed to prevent static discharge.
Keep all components and printed circuit boards (PCBs) in their anti-static bags until ready for use.
Touch a grounded metal object before removing the board from the anti-static bag.
Do not let components or PCBs come into contact with your clothing, which may retain a charge even if you are wearing a wrist strap.
Touch a grounded metal object before removing the board from the anti-static bag.
Handle a board by its edges only; do not touch its components, peripheral chips, memory modules or contacts.
When handling chips or modules, avoid touching their pins.
Put the motherboard and peripherals back into their anti-static bags when not in use.
For grounding purposes, make sure your computer chassis provides excellent conductivity between the power supply, the case, the mounting fasteners and the motherboard.
Operation Safety Guidelines
Adhere to the following safety guidleines to avoid personal injury when accessing the InfoCaster Rackmount chassis.
1 Turn off all peripheral devices connected to the InfoCaster Rackmount
chassis.
2 Press the power button to power off the system.
3 Unplug all power cords from the system or wall outlets.
4 Disconnect all the cables and label the cables for easy identification.
Caution
For proper cooling, make sure to install all chassis covers before turning on the system. If this rule is not strictly followed, warranty may become void. Do not open the casing of a power supply. Power supplies can only be accessed and serviced by a qualified technician of the manufacturer.
5 Use a grounded wrist strap designed to prevent static discharge when
handling components.
Ensure the following measures are in place before installing the chassis into a rack.
The rack must be securely anchored onto a unmovable surface or structure before installing the chassis into the rack.
The system must be adequately supported. Make sure that all the components are securely fastened to the chassis to prevent components from falling off from the chassis.
Unplug the power cord(s) of the rack before installing the chassis into the rack.
Install an AC Power Disconnect for the entire rack assembly and this Power Disconnect must be clearly marked.
The rack assembly must be properly grounded to avoid electric shock.
The rack assembly must provide sufficient airflow to the chassis for proper cooling.
