systems to remain CE compliant, only CE-compliant parts may be used. Maintaining CE compliance also requires proper cable and cabling techniques.

RoHS Compliance

NEXCOM RoHS Environmental Policy and Status Update

NEXCOM is a global citizen for building the digital infrastructure. We are committed to providing green products and services, which are compliant with European Union RoHS (Restriction on Use

of Hazardous Substance in Electronic Equipment) directive 2002/95/EU, to be your trusted green partner and to protect our environment.

RoHS restricts the use of Lead (Pb) < 0.1% or 1,000ppm, Mercury (Hg) < 0.1% or 1,000ppm, Cadmium (Cd) < 0.01% or 100ppm, Hexavalent Chromium (Cr6+) < 0.1% or 1,000ppm, Polybrominated biphenyls (PBB) <

0.1% or 1,000ppm, and Polybrominated diphenyl Ethers (PBDE) < 0.1% or 1,000ppm.

In order to meet the RoHS compliant directives, NEXCOM has established an engineering and manufacturing task force in to implement the introduction of green products. The task force will ensure that we follow the standard NEXCOM development procedure and that all the new RoHS components and new manufacturing processes maintain the highest industry quality levels for which NEXCOM are renowned.

The model selection criteria will be based on market demand. Vendors and suppliers will ensure that all designed components will be RoHS compliant.

How to recognize NEXCOM RoHS Products?

For existing products where there are non-RoHS and RoHS versions, the suffix “(LF)” will be added to the compliant product name.

All new product models launched after January 2006 will be RoHS compliant. They will use the usual NEXCOM naming convention.

Warranty and RMA

• If RMA goods can not be repaired, NEXCOM will return it to the customer without any charge.

Warnings

Read and adhere to all warnings, cautions, and notices in this guide and the documentation supplied with the chassis, power supply, and accessory modules. If the instructions for the chassis and power supply are inconsistent with these instructions or the instructions for accessory modules, contact the supplier to find out how you can ensure that your computer meets safety and regulatory requirements.

Cautions

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage system components. Do the described procedures only at an ESD workstation. If no such station is available, you can provide some ESD protection by wearing an antistatic wrist strap and attaching it to a metal part of the computer chassis.

Safety Information

• Avoid using the system near water, in direct sunlight, or near a heating device.

• The load of the system unit does not solely rely for support from the rackmounts located on the sides. Firm support from the bottom is highly necessary in order to provide balance stability.

• The computer is provided with a battery-powered real-time clock circuit. There is a danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the same or equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer. Discard used batteries according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Installation Recommendations

Ensure you have a stable, clean working environment. Dust and dirt can get into components and cause a malfunction. Use containers to keep small components separated.

Adequate lighting and proper tools can prevent you from accidentally damaging the internal components. Most of the procedures that follow require only a few simple tools, including the following:

Before installing and using the device, note the following precautions:

• Read all instructions carefully.

• Do not place the unit on an unstable surface, cart, or stand.

• Follow all warnings and cautions in this manual.

• When replacing parts, ensure that your service technician uses parts

specified by the manufacturer.

• A Philips screwdriver

• A flat-tipped screwdriver

• A grounding strap

• An anti-static pad

Using your fingers can disconnect most of the connections. It is

recommended that you do not use needle-nose pliers to disconnect connections as these can damage the soft metal or plastic parts of the connectors.

Safety Precautions

1. Read these safety instructions carefully.

2. Keep this User Manual for later reference.

3. Disconnect the equipment from any AC outlet before cleaning or installing a component inside the chassis. Use a damp cloth. Do not use liquid or spray detergents for cleaning.

4. To prevent electrostatic build-up, leave the board in its anti-static bag until you are ready to install it.

5. For plug-in equipment, the power outlet socket must be located near the equipment and must be easily accessible.

6. Keep the board away from humidity.

7. Put the board on a stable surface. Dropping it or letting it fall may cause damage.

8. Wear anti-static wrist strap.

9. Do all preparation work on a static-free surface.

10. Make sure the voltage of the power source is correct before connecting the equipment to the power outlet.

11. Hold the board only by its edges. Be careful not to touch any of the components, contacts or connections.

12. All cautions and warnings on the board should be noted.

13. Use the correct mounting screws and do not over tighten the screws.

14. Keep the original packaging and the anti-static bag; in case the board has to be returned for repair or replacement.

Before You Begin

• Ensure you have a stable, clean working environment. Dust and dirt can get into components and cause a malfunction. Use containers to keep small components separated.

• Adequate lighting and proper tools can prevent you from accidentally damaging the internal components. Most of the procedures that follow require only a few simple tools, including the following:

- A Philips screwdriver

- A flat-tipped screwdriver

- A set of jewelers screwdrivers

- A grounding strap

- An anti-static pad

• Using your fingers can disconnect most of the connections. It is recommended that you do not use needle-nosed pliers to disconnect

connections as these can damage the soft metal or plastic parts of the connectors.

• Before working on internal components, make sure that the power is off. Ground yourself before touching any internal components, by touching a metal object. Static electricity can damage many of the electronic components. Humid environments tend to have less static electricity than dry environments. A grounding strap is warranted whenever danger of static electricity exists.

Precautions

Computer components and electronic circuit boards can be damaged by discharges of static electricity. Working on computers that are still connected to a power supply can be extremely dangerous.

Follow the guidelines below to avoid damage to your computer or yourself:

• Always disconnect the unit from the power outlet whenever you are working inside the case.
