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 2011/65/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.
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 2013 will be RoHS compliant.
They will use the usual NEXCOM naming convention.
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.
▪ 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.
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:
• 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 needlenose pliers to disconnect connections as these
can damage the soft metal or plastic parts of the connectors.
▪ Disconnect this equipment from any AC outlet before cleaning. Use a
damp cloth. Do not use liquid or spray detergents for cleaning.
▪ For plug-in equipment, the power outlet socket must be located near the
equipment and must be easily accessible.

place anything on top of the power cord. Use a power cord that has been
approved for use with the product and that it matches the voltage and
current marked on the product’s electrical range label. The voltage and
current rating of the cord must be greater than the voltage and current
rating marked on the product.
▪ Never pour any liquid into an opening. This may cause fire or electrical
shock.
