Specifications

1-1 Electrical Safety Guidelines

Warning: To avoid electrical shock, check the power
cords as follows:

Checking the Power Cords

!Use the exact type of power cords as required.
!Be sure to use the power cord(s) that came with safety certifications.
!The power cord(s) must be compliant with the AC voltage requirements in your

region.
!The power cord plug cap must have an electrical current rating that is at least

125% of the electrical current rating of this product.
!The power cord plug cap that plugs into the AC receptacle on the power

supply must be an IEC 320, sheet C13, type female connector.
!Be sure to disconnect the power supply before accessing the SC513 or its

components.
!Plug the Power cord(s) into a socket that is properly grounded before

turning on the power.

Warning: Follow the guidelines below to avoid possible
damages to the system or injury to yourself:

General Electrical Safety Guidelines

! Be aware of the locations of the power switches on the chassis and in the

room, so you can disconnect the power supply if an accident occurs.

!Take extra precautionary measures when working with high voltage compo-

nents. It is not recommended to work alone.

! Before removing or installing main system components, be sue to disconnect

the power first. Turn off the system before you disconnect the PS.

Use only one hand when working with powered-on electrical equipment to

avoid possible electrical shock.

!

Chapter 1: Safety Information and Technical Specifications

Use rubber mats specifically designed as electrical insulators when working

with computer systems.

The power supply or power cord must include a grounding plug and must

be plugged into grounded outlets.

Motherboard Battery: CAUTION -Make sure not to install the onboard battery

upside down to avoid possible explosion. Make sure that the positive side
should be facing up on the motherboard. This battery must be replaced
only with the same or an equivalent type recommended by the manufac­turer. Dispose of used batteries according to the manufacturer's instruc­tions.

CD-ROM Laser: CAUTION - Do not open the enclosures of power supplies

or CD ROM to avoid injury.

1-2 General Safety Guidelines

Warning: Follow these rules to ensure general safety:

Keep the area around the SC513 clean and free of clutter.

To avoid injuries to the back, be sure to use your leg muscles, keep your
back straight, and bend your knees, when lifting the system.

Avoid wearing loose clothing to preventing it from coming into contact with

After removing the components or chassis covers from the system, place

them on a table for safeguard.

Be sure to remove any jewelry or metal objects before working on the

chassis to avoid short circuits should these objects come into contact
with power circuits.

After accessing the interior of the chassis, be sure to close the chassis

with chassis covers and secure the chassis to the racks with screws.

1-3 ESD Safety Guidelines

Use a grounded wrist strap designed to prevent static discharge.

Keep all components and printed circuit boards (PCBs) in their antistatic

bags until ready for use.
Touch a grounded metal object before removing the board from the antistatic bag.
Do not let components or PCBs come into contact with your clothing, which may

retain a charge even if you are wearing a wrist strap.
Touch a grounded metal object before removing the board from the antistatic

bag.
Handle a board by its edges only; do not touch its components, peripheral

chips, memory modules or contacts.

When handling chips or modules, avoid touching their pins.

Put the motherboard and peripherals back into their antistatic bags when not in

use.

For grounding purposes, make sure your computer chassis provides excel

lent conductivity between the power supply, the case, the mounting

fasteners and the motherboard.

Electric Static Discharge (ESD) can damage electronic com­ponents. To prevent damage to your system board, it is
important to handle it very carefully. The following measures are

generally sufficient to protect your equipment from ESD.

1-4 Operation Safety Guidelines

Warning: For proper cooling, make sure to install all
chassis covers before turning on the system. If this rule is
not strictly followed, warranty may become void. Do not open

the casing of a power supply. Power supplies can only be

accessed and serviced by a qualified technician of the manufacturer.
