Safety Instructions

 Before Y ou Begin

Before handling the product, read the instructions and safety guidelines on the

following pages to prevent damage to the product and to ensure your own personal

safety. Refer to the “Advisories” section in the Preface for advisory conventions used

in this user’s guide, including the distinction between Warnings, Cautions, Important

Notes, and Notes.

 Always use caution when handling/operating a computer. Only qualified,

experienced, authorized electronics service personnel should access the

interior of a computer. The power supplies produce high voltages and

energy hazards, which can cause bodily harm.

 Use extreme caution when installing or removing components. Refer to the

installation instructions in this user’s guide for precautions and procedures.

If you have any questions, please contact Quanmax Post-Sales Technical

Support.

 Access can only be gained by service persons or by users who have

been instructed about the reasons for the restrictions applied to the

location and about any precautions that shall be taken; and access is

through the use of a tool or lock and key, or other means of security,

and is controlled by authority responsible for the location.

WARNING

High voltages are present inside the chassis when the unit’s power cord is plugged into

an electrical outlet. Turn off system power, turn off the power supply, and then

disconnect the power cord from its source before removing the chassis cover. Turning off

the system power switch does not remove power to components.

 When Working Inside a Computer

Before taking covers off a computer, perform the following steps:

1. Turn off the computer and any peripherals.

Safety Instructions

utePC‐2000User’sManual

2. Disconnect the computer and peripherals from their power sources or

subsystems to prevent electric shock or system board damage. This does not

apply when hot swapping parts.

3. Follow the guidelines provided in “Preventing Electrostatic Discharge” on the

following page.

4. Disconnect any telephone or telecommunications lines from the computer.

In addition, take note of these safety guidelines when appropriate:

 To help avoid possible damage to system boards, wait five seconds after

turning off the computer before removing a component, removing a system

board, or disconnecting a peripheral device from the computer.

 When you disconnect a cable, pull on its connector or on its strain-relief loop,

not on the cable itself. Some cables have a connector with locking tabs. If you

are disconnecting this type of cable, press in on the locking tabs before

disconnecting the cable. As you pull connectors apart, keep them evenly

aligned to avoid bending any connector pins. Also, before connecting a cable,

make sure both connectors are correctly oriented and aligned.

CAUTION

Do not attempt to service the system yourself except as explained in this user’s guide.

Follow installation and troubleshooting instructions closely.

 Preventing Electrostatic Discharge

Static electricity can harm system boards. Perform service at an ESD workstation

and follow proper ESD procedure to reduce the risk of damage to components.

Quanmax strongly encourages you to follow proper ESD procedure, which can

include wrist straps and smocks, when servicing equipment.

You can also take the following steps to prevent damage from electrostatic

discharge (ESD):

 When unpacking a static-sensitive component from its shipping carton, do not

remove the component’s antistatic packing material until you are ready to install

the component in a computer. Just before unwrapping the antistatic packaging,

be sure you are at an ESD workstation or grounded. This will discharge any

static electricity that may have built up in your body.

 When transporting a sensitive component, first place it in an antistatic container

or packaging.

Safety Instructions

utePC‐2000User’sManual

 Handle all sensitive components at an ESD workstation. If possible, use

antistatic floor pads and workbench pads.

 Handle components and boards with care. Don’t touch the components or

contacts on a board. Hold a board by its edges or by its metal mounting bracket.

 Do not handle or store system boards near strong electrostatic, electromagnetic,

magnetic, or radioactive fields.

 Instructions for Lithium Battery

WARNING

Danger of explosion when battery is replaced with incorrect type. Only replace

with the same or equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer.

Do not dispose of lithium batteries in domestic waste. Dispose of the battery

according to the local regulations dealing with the disposal of these special

 Maintaining Your Computer

Environmental Factors

 Temperature

The ambient temperature within an enclosure may be greater than room

ambient temperature. Installation in an enclosure should be such that the

amount of air flow required for safe operation is not compromised.

Consideration should be given to the maximum rated ambient temperature.

Overheating can cause a variety of problems, including premature aging and

failure of chips or mechanical failure of devices.

If the system has been exposed to abnormally cold temperatures, allow a

two-hour warm-up period to bring it up to normal operating temperature before

Preface

utePC‐2000User’sManual

turning it on. Failure to do so may cause damage to internal components,

particularly the hard disk drive.

 Humidity

High-humidity can cause moisture to enter and accumulate in the system. This

moisture can cause corrosion of internal components and degrade such

properties as electrical resistance and thermal conductivity. Extreme moisture

buildup inside the system can result in electrical shorts, which can cause

serious damage to the system.

Buildings in which climate is controlled usually maintain an acceptable level of

humidity for system equipment. However, if a system is located in an unusually

humid location, a dehumidifier can be used to maintain the humidity within an

acceptable range. Refer to the “Specifications” section of this user’s guide for

the operating and storage humidity specifications.

 Altitude

Operating a system at a high altitude (low pressure) reduces the efficiency of

the cooling fans to cool the system. This can cause electrical problems related

to arcing and corona effects. This condition can also cause sealed components

with internal pressure, such as electrolytic capacitors, to fail or perform at

reduced efficiency.

Power Protection

The greatest threats to a system’s supply of power are power loss, power spikes,

and power surges caused by electrical storms, which interrupt system operation

and/or damage system components. To protect your system, always properly

ground power cables and one of the following devices.

 Surge Protector

Surge protectors are available in a variety of types and usually provide a level

of protection proportional with the cost of the device. Surge protectors prevent

voltage spikes from entering a system through the AC power cord. Surge

protectors, however, do not offer protection against brownouts, which occur

when the voltage drops more than 20 percent below the normal AC line voltage

level.

 Line Conditioner

Line conditioners go beyond the overvoltage protection of surge protectors.

Preface

utePC‐2000User’sManual

Line conditioners keep a system’s AC power source voltage at a fairly constant

level and, therefore, can handle brownouts. Because of this added protection,

line conditioners cost more than surge protectors. However, line conditioners

cannot protect against a complete loss of power.

 Uninterruptible Power Supply

Uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems offer the most complete protection

against variations on power because they use battery power to keep the server

running when AC power is lost. The battery is charged by the AC power while it

is available, so when AC power is lost, the battery can provide power to the

system for a limited amount of time, depending on the UPS system.

UPS systems range in price from a few hundred dollars to several thousand

dollars, with the more expensive unit s allowing you to run larger systems for a

longer period of time when AC power is lost. UPS systems that provide only 5

minutes of battery power let you conduct an orderly shutdown of the system,

but are not intended to provide continued operation. Surge protectors should be

used with all UPS systems, and the UPS system should be Underwriters

Laboratories (UL) safety approved.
