SAFETY INFORMATION

To ensure a safe and smooth operation of your In Win IW-RS424-04, it is essential that you choose
an appropriate location for the system, provide an appropriate operating environment and supply
an adequate amount power for all components of the system. As you plan for installation, follow
the guidelines below to ensure that the system and its environment are safely and appropriately
positioned for efficient operation and service. Your system should be installed and serviced only by
a qualified technician.

Environment selection: The system is designed to operate in a typical office environment:

• The location should be clean, dry and free of airborne particles.

• It should be a well-ventilated room, and away from sources of heat including direct sunlight

and radiators.

• It should be kept away from sources of vibration or physical shock.

• The space should be accommodated with a properly grounded wall outlet, and with sufficient

space to access the power supply cords.

• The operating environment temperature should be around 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F).

recommend you use this guide as a reference and follow the safety instructions. The instructions in
this manual will help you ensure and maintain compliance with existing product certifications and
approvals. Follow the described, regulated components mentioned in this manual. Use of non-UL
listing products or other regulators may not comply with product regulations in the region(s) in
which the product is sold.

System power on/off: The power button DOES NOT totally turn off the system AC power. To
remove the power of the system, you must unplug the AC power cord from the outlet or the
system’s power supply units. Make sure the power cord is unplugged before you open the chassis,

electronic boards and other parts. We recommend that you conduct installation only at an ESD
free space. If not possible, perform ESD protection protocol by wearing an anti-static wrist straps

Installing or removing jumpers: A jumper is a short length conductor used to close, open or bypass
part of an electronic circuit. Jumpers on In Win backplanes have a small tab on top that you can
pick up with your fingertips. Grip the jumper carefully, and plug the jumper to cover the jumper
pins on the backplane. Once you need to remove the jumper, grip the jumper and carefully pull
without squeezing.
