Safety, Environmental, and
Electronic Emissions Notices
Read the following warnings before setting up or using the appliance.
Warning - Do not block air vents. A minimum 1/2-inch clearance is
required.
Before you install or remove a chassis, or work near power supplies, turn off the
power and unplug the power cord.
To prevent damage to any system board, it is important to handle it with care. The
following measures are generally sufficient to protect your equipment from static
electricity discharge:
x When handling the board, to use a grounded wrist strap designed for static
discharge elimination.
x Touch a grounded metal object before removing the board from the antistatic bag.
x Handle the board by its edges only. Do not touch its components, peripheral chips,
memory modules or gold contacts.
x When handling processor chips or memory modules, avoid touching their pins or
gold edge fingers.
x Restore the communications appliance system board and peripherals back into the
antistatic bag when they are not in use or not installed in the chassis. Some
circuitry on the system board can continue operating even though the power is
switched off.
x Under no circumstances should the lithium battery cell used to power the
real-time clock be allowed to short. The battery cell may heat up under these
conditions and present a burn hazard.
Warning - DANGER OF EXPLOSION IF BATTERY IS INCORRECTLY
REPLACED. REPLACE ONLY WITH SAME OR EQUIVALENT TYPE
RECOMMENDED BY THE MANUFACTURER. DISCARD USED BATTERIES
ACCORDING TO THE MANUFACTURER’S INSTRUCTIONS.
