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.

Preface
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
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.
▪ 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 manufactur-
er. 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:
• 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.

Chapter 2: Jumpers and Connectors
Chapter 2: Jumpers and Connectors
This chapter describes how to set the jumpers on the motherboard. Note
that the following procedures are generic for all VTC 6200 series.
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 recom-
mended 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 elec-
tronic components. Humid environment 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 the 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.
• If possible, wear a grounded wrist strap when you are working inside
the computer case. Alternatively, discharge any static electricity by
touching the bare metal chassis of the unit case, or the bare metal body
of any other grounded appliance.
• Hold electronic circuit boards by the edges only. Do not touch the com-
ponents on the board unless it is necessary to do so. Don’t flex or stress
the circuit board.
• Leave all components inside the static-proof packaging that they
shipped with until they are ready for installation.
• Use correct screws and do not over tighten screws.

Chapter 2: Jumpers and Connectors
Jumper
A jumper is the simplest kind of electric switch. It consists of two metal
pins and a cap. When setting the jumpers, ensure that the jumper caps are
placed on the correct pins. When the jumper cap is placed on both pins,
the jumper is short. If you remove the jumper cap, or place the jumper
cap on just one pin, the jumper is open.
Refer to the illustrations below for examples of what the 2-pin and 3-pin
jumpers look like when they are short (on) and open (off).
