1 Important Information

1.1 Safety Instructions

Caution

The safety instructions given on the reverse of the title page of this Getting
Started must be observed. Before expanding your Rack PC IL refer to Chapter 5
in the electronic manual and read the relevant safety instructions.

This device corresponds to the relevant safety measures according to IEC, EN,
VDE, UL, and CSA. If you have questions about the permissibility of the installation
in the designated environment, please contact our service representative.

Installation Notes

Condensation can occur if the device is transported from a cold environment into
the operating area. Wait until the device has adapted to the room temperature and
is completely dry before operating it. Please observe the notes on ambient
conditions in Chapter 6 in the electronic manual and the installation notes in
Section 2.2 of this manual when installing and operating the device. The device is
to be installed so that there is no danger of it falling or of causing damage to itself
or others.

Be sure the fan ventilation slots are open so that a sufficient amount of air can be
drawn in to cool the housing interior.

during thunderstorms.

In emergency situations (for example, damaged housing, damaged operator
elements, a damaged power supply cable, ingress of liquids or foreign particles),
switch off the device. Disconnect the power plug and inform the responsible service
personnel.

The Rack PC IL must be switched off when you connect or disconnect peripheral
devices (keyboard, mouse, printer, etc.). You can damage the PC if you do not
adhere to these instructions.

Notes for Devices with AC Power Supply

The device is intended for service in grounded electricity supply systems (TN
systems to VDE 0100, part 300, or IEC 364-3).

Service in non-grounded or impedance-grounded supply systems (IT systems) is
not intended.

The power cord should meet the respective local safety requirements.
Check whether the device's set supply voltage is the same as the local supply

voltage.
This device is equipped with a safety-tested power supply cable. You may connect

this device only to a grounding outlet with a grounding contact.
Make certain that the socket outlet on the device or the grounding contact for the

building wiring system is freely accessible and as near to the device as possible.
To establish a complete power separation, you must disconnect the power plug

(inlet connector on the back of the device). This location must be accessible. A
central isolating switch must be present for cabinet mounting.
