Introduction
Note
This device meets the EN 55022 and EN 61000-3-2 standards for interference emissions,
the EN 55024 standard for interference, and the EN 60950 electrical safety standard. Any
change made to this device without approval by the manufacturer voids any guarantee of
meeting these standards. In order to assure EMC compliance (electromagnetic compatibility), please follow the corresponding guidelines in this manual.
User note
This device was carefully designed and tested to prevent radio interference. However, you
should note the following for external data cables: If you need to replace any of the data
cables specified by the manufacturer, be sure that the replacement cables have the same
shielding specifications as the original cable to prevent interference. Always use shielded
power lines and only use external devices that are CE certified.
No guarantee for meeting these standards can be maintained if you do not conform to the
above guidelines.
Laser (safety information)
Caution!
Laser radiation when the cover is open!
This laser radiation is contained in the optical drives. When dismantling and/or opening this
drive, be careful:
• not to look into the beam, not even with optical instruments
• not to expose yourself to the beam
• to avoid eyes or skin being exposed to direct or scattered beam.
Failure to observe these guidelines can in the worst case lead to permanent blindness.
The built-in optical drives contain no user-serviceable or reparable parts. Optical drives are
to be repaired solely by the manufacturer. Laser products of laser classes 1 to 3B may be
used in the product. When the housing is unopened the device meets the requirements of
laser class 1. By opening the device, laser devices up to laser class 3B may be accessible.
The built-in optical drives contain no user-serviceable or reparable parts. Optical drives are
to be repaired by authorized technicians.

als.
• Mechanical connections must be easily detachable;
• Avoid covered parts or composite materials;
• The device must be easily dismantlable, also for a simple repair;
• Reduction of the use of multiple materials.
• Reduction of the use of multiple plastics for case parts
• Nearly all plastic case parts are made from the same, recyclable material.

Introduction
Material Requirements for Plastic Cases and Case Parts
• All plastics used for the case are manufactured without the use of dioxins and furans.
• An independent testing laboratory in Germany has
tested and approved the character-
istics of the plastics used.
Material Requirements for Printed Circuit Boards
• All our suppliers have ensured us that their circuit boards do not contain PCB (polybromite biphenyl), PBDE (polybromite diphenylether) or chlorinated paraffin.
Marking of Plastic Materials
• All plastic parts of this device are marked in accordance with ISO 11469. This ensures
a problem free separation of the different materials when recycling.
Noise Emission
This PC meets the requirements for noise emissions according to EN 27779 and falls below
the following values:
Operation mode Sound power level LW (dB(A))
(according to ISO 9296))
Idle < 48
Drive operation < 55
Batteries
This device does not contain batteries containing heavy metals. The lithium batteries used
have an extremely long life span (> 10 years). Please consult the notes in the manual concerning servicing, replacement or disposal of the battery.

Information on the return of electrical and electronic waste
in EU countries according to Directive 2002/96/EC, and its implementation in respective national regulations
a) Reason and Purpose of Separate Collection
Users of electrical and electronic equipment are required to dispose of used devices separately. Electrical and electronic equipment must not be disposed of together with unsorted
municipal solid waste (domestic refuse), as it contains a range of dangerous elements that
cause problems for waste management. Separate collection from regular municipal waste
is a prerequisite for the special treatment and appropriate recycling of electrical and electronic waste. This is essential, as many components of electrical and electronic devices are
damaging to the environment if they are not disposed of professionally. Disposing of the
devices along with unsorted municipal waste can cause harmful substances to enter the
waste flow. The consequence would be a considerable burden on the environment.
b) Significance the ‘Crossed-Out Wheelie Bin’
The crossed-out wheelie bin is the symbol for separate collection.
Electrical and electronic equipment marked with this symbol must not be
disposed of to-gether with municipal sorted waste (domestic refuse). Such
items can be handed in free of charge at public collection points.
c) Reuse, Recycling and Recovery
Electrical and electronic waste contains valuable raw materials such as iron, aluminum
and copper. These components must be treated selectively. A separate collection and a
selec-tive treatment are the basis for environmentally-friendly disposal and protection of
human health.
According to the particular terms, manufacturers are obligated to assume the costs associated with disposing of these devices as well as other obligations. This is to promote the
chief objectives of reuse and recycling. For this to be possible, consumers must dispose of
used devices that are no longer needed at communal collection points. Actively using these
return and collection systems contributes to the reuse, recycling and recovery of electrical
and electronic equipment and protects the environment.
d) Weight
Information on the weight of the acquired product can be found on the item list as well as
on the packaging.

Introduction
Energy Consumption
Our PC systems have excellent energy saving features. The data on the type plate of the
system applies to the maximum power consumption of the system, when the system is
fully upgraded and the power supply is at 100% of its maximum output.
The devices can be separated from an external power source for at least 4 weeks, without
losing any functionality.
You can specify the settings for the energy saving mode in the BIOS setup. Please refer to
the user guide for your mainboard for information on the appropriate procedure.
The system only consumes no energy at all when the mains plug is disconnected.
