CE Marking

As we begin the 21st century, European standards are being harmonised across borders. If products comply with the
same standards in all European countries, product exporting and importing is made simple - paving our way to a
common market. If you buy a product with a 'CE' mark on it (shown below), on the box, in the manual, or on the
guarantee - it complies with the currently enforced directive(s).

Introduction to EMC

EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility) is the term used to describe certain issues with RF (Radio Frequency) energy.
Electrical items should be designed so they do not interfere with each other through RF emissions. E.g. If you turn on
your microwave, your television shouldn't display interference if both items are CE marked to the EMC directive.

If emitted RF energy is not kept low, it can interfere with other electrical circuitry - E.g. Cars Automatic Braking
Systems have been known to activate by themselves while in a strong RF field. As this has obvious repercussions
ALL electrical products likely to cause RF related problems have to be 'CE' marked from 1st January 1996 onwards.

If a product conforms to the EMC directive, not only should its RF emissions be very low, but its immunity to RF
energy (and other types) should be high. The apparatus has to resist many 'real world' phenomena such as static
shocks and mains voltage transients.

Viglen’s Environment laboratory

To gain a 'CE' mark, the Viglen computer range has had to undergo many difficult tests to ensure it is
Electromagnetically Compatible. These are carried out in the in-house 'Environment lab' at Viglen Headquarters. We
have made every effort to guarantee that each computer leaving our factory complies fully with the correct standards.
To ensure the computer system maintains compliance throughout its functional life, it is essential you follow these
guidelines.

Install the system according to Viglen’s instructions

If you open up your Viglen System:

Keep internal cabling in place as supplied.
Ensure the lid is tightly secured afterwards
Do not remove drive bay shields unless installing a 'CE' marked peripheral in its place
The clips or ‘bumps' around the lips of the case increase conductivity - do not remove or damage.
Do not remove any ferrite rings from the L.E.D cables.
Only use your Viglen computer with 'CE' marked peripherals

This system has been tested in accordance with European standards for use in residential and light industrial areas­this specifies a 10 meter testing radius for emissions and immunity. If you do experience any adverse affects that
you think might be related to your computer, try moving it at least 10 meters away from the affected item. If you still
experience problems, contact Viglen’s Technical Support department who will put you straight through to an EMC
engineer - s/he will do everything possible to help. If modifications are made to your Viglen computer system, it might
breach EMC regulations. Viglen take no responsibility (with regards to EMC characteristics) of equipment that has
been tampered with or modified.

Tools and Supplies Needed

• Phillips (cross-head) screwdriver (#2 bit)

• Antistatic wrist strap (recommended)

Safety Warning!

Before You Remove the Side Cover

Before removing the system side covers to work inside the system, observe these
safety guidelines.

1. Turn off all peripheral devices connected to the system.

2. Turn off the system by using the push-button on/off power switch on the front of the
system. Then unplug the AC power cord from the system or wall outlet.

3. Label and disconnect all peripheral cables and all telecommunication lines
connected to I/O connectors or ports on the back of the system.

4. Provide some electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection by wearing an antistatic wrist
strap attached to chassis ground of the system -- any unpainted metal surface -­when handling components.

Viglen IX2000 Chassis User Guide

20

Warning and Cautions!

These warnings and cautions apply whenever you remove the side cover of the system
to access components inside the system. Only a technically qualified person should
integrate and configure the system.

Warning!

System power on/off: The on/off button (a convex button) on the front panel
DOES NOT turn off the system AC power. To remove power from system, you
must unplug the AC power cord from the wall outlet or the system.

Hazardous conditions, power supply: Hazardous voltage, current, and energy
levels are present inside the power supply. There are no user serviceable parts
inside it; servicing should be done by technically qualified personnel.

Hazardous conditions, devices and cables: Hazardous electrical conditions may
be present on power, telephone, and communication cables. Turn off the system
and disconnect the power cords, telecommunications systems, networks, and
modems attached to the system before opening it. Otherwise, personal injury or
equipment damage can result.

Cautions!

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) and ESD protection: ESD can damage disk drives,

boards, and other parts. We recommend that you perform all procedures in this chapter
only at an ESD workstation. If one is not available, provide some ESD protection by
wearing an antistatic wrist strap attached to chassis ground --- any unpainted metal
surface --- on your system when handling parts.

ESD and handling boards: Always handle boards carefully. They can be extremely
sensitive to ESD. Hold boards only by their edges. After removing a board from its
protective wrapper or from the system, place it component-side up on a grounded,
static-free surface. If you place the server board on a conductive surface, the battery
leads may short out. If they do, this will result in a loss of CMOS data and will drain the
battery. Use a conductive foam pad if available but not the board wrapper. Do not slide
board over any surface.

Cooling and airflow: For proper cooling and airflow, always install the chassis side
cover before turning on the system. Operating it without the cover in place can damage
system parts.

Opening the Front Bezel

Take off the front bezel from chassis body. A key lock secures the front bezel to protect
your system against unauthorised access:

1. Insert the key into the security lock, and turn it clockwise until it points to the unlock
icon as figure 10.

2. Press two release button on top of front bezel and the pull it toward you (Figure 11).

3. Take off the front bezel from chassis body.

2. Put the hard drives into the cage and align with the mounting holes (See Figure 19).

3. Secure the hard drives to the drive cage using the screws shown in Figure 18.

Figure 19: Mounting Holes on the Drive Cage

Removing the Hotswap or Non Hotswap Cage

1. Loosen the four thumbscrews, which secure the hard disk drive cage to the chassis
body.

2. Pull out the hard disk drive cage slightly (See Figure 20).

Figure 20: Pulling out the Cage slightly

Viglen IX2000 Chassis User Guide

26

3. Disconnect the SCSI, Serial ATA, or power cables. If necessary the SCSI terminator
also needs to be removed.

4. Finally continue to pull out the cage until it is totally out of the drive bay.

Figure 21: Completely Removing the Cage from the Chassis

Installing the 120mm Fan

The VIG840 is designed to support three 120mm cooling fans with screw-less fan
holders. There are two fans located in the middle of the chassis and one fan is
mounted on the rear panel. To secure a fan in the holder follow the below instructions:

1. Position a 120mm fan into the hooks of the fan holder (See Figure 22).

Figure 22: Positioning the hooks

Viglen IX2000 Chassis User Guide

27

2. Next press the 120mm fan towards the fan holder until it clicks into place. You will
find that the four positioning pins will insert into the four mounting holes of the
120mm fan around the frame.

3. Finally check that all four hooks of the fan holder have exactly fastened to the fan
(See Figure 23).

Step 8:

Once the rails lock they need to be released by the inner rail latch so that the server can
be completely pushed into the rack cabinet. The arrow below illustrates what direction
to move the latch to release the lock.

Figure 51: Releasing the Inner Rail

The Server is now mounted successfully into the rack cabinet.
