Safety Guidelines
Follow these guidelines to ensure general safety:
• Keep the chassis area clear and dust-free during and
after installation.
• Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry that could get
caught in the chassis. Fasten your tie or scarf and roll
up your sleeves.
• Wear safety glasses if you are working under any
conditions that might be hazardous to your eyes.
• Do not perform any action that creates a potential
hazard to people or makes the equipment unsafe.
• Disconnect all power by turning off the power and
unplugging the power cord before installing or
removing a chassis or working near power supplies
• Do not work alone if potentially hazardous conditions
exist.
• Never assume that power is disconnected from a
circuit; always check the circuit.
LITHIUM BATTERY CAUTION:
Risk of Explosion if Battery is replaced by an incorrect type.
Dispose of used batteries according to the instructions.
• Installation only by a trained electrician or only by
an electrically trained person who knows all English
Installation and Device Specifications which are to be
applied.
• Do not carry the handle of power supplies when
moving to other place.
• The machine can only be used in a fixed location such
as labs or computer facilities.
circulation. Be sure that the room in which you choose to
operate your system has adequate air circulation.
• Ensure that the chassis cover is secure. The chassis design
allows cooling air to circulate effectively. An open chassis
permits air leaks, which may interrupt and redirect the flow
of cooling air from internal components.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage equipment and
impair electrical circuitry. ESD damage occurs when electronic
components are improperly handled and can result in complete
or intermittent failures. Be sure to follow ESD-prevention
procedures when removing and replacing components to avoid
these problems.
• Wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap, ensuring that it makes
good skin contact. If no wrist strap is available, ground
yourself by touching the metal part of the chassis.
• Periodically check the resistance value of the antistatic
strap, which should be between 1 and 10 megohms
(Mohms).
Rack Mounting Installation Environment Precaution
1. Elevated Operating Ambient - If installed in a closed
or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient
temperature of the rack environment may be greater than
room ambient. Therefore, consideration should be given
to installing the equipment in an environment compatible
with the maximum ambient temperature (Tma) specified
by the manufacturer.
2. Reduced Air Flow - Installation of the equipment in a rack
should be such that the amount of air flow required for
safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.
Mechanical Loading - Mounting of the equipment in the
rack should be such that a hazardous condition is not
created due to uneven mechanical loading.
3. Mechanical Loading - Mounting of the equipment in the
rack should be such that a hazardous condition is not
achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.
4. Circuit Overloading - Consideration should be given to
the connection of the equipment to the supply circuit and
the effect that overloading of the circuits might have on
over-current protection and supply wiring. Appropriate
consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should be
used when addressing this concern.
5. Reliable Earthing - Reliable earthing of rack-mounted
equipment should be maintained. Particular attention
should be given to supply connections other than direct
connections to the branch circuit (e.g. use of power strips).”

And use slots with white latches if more slots are
required.
4. To activate Dual Channel instead of Quad
Channel in the system, populate any 2 slots with
black latches nearest to the designated CPU
socket (CPU socket No1 or No2). And then use
slot with white latch that belongs to the same
channel as the populated slot with black latch for
any additional DIMMs.
