16 Safety instructions Before starting up V CAUTION! During installation and before operating the device, observe the instructions on environmental conditions for your device. If the device is brought in from a cold environment, condensation may form both inside and on the outside of the device. Wait until the device has acclimatized to room temperature and is absolutely dry before starting it up. Material damage may be caused to the device if this requirement is not observed. Transport the device only in the original packaging or in packaging that protects it from knocks and jolts. Installation and operation V CAUTION! This unit should not be operated in ambient temperatures above 35 C. If the unit is integrated into an installation that draws power from an industrial power supply network with an IEC309 connector, the power supply's fuse protection must comply with the requirements for nonindustrial power supply networks for type A connectors. The unit automatically adjusts itself to a mains voltage in a range of 100 V -240 V. Ensure that the local mains voltage lies within these limits. This device must only be connected to properly grounded shockproof sockets or insulated sockets of the rack's internal power supply with tested and approved power cables. Ensure that the device is connected to a grounded shockproof socket close to the device. 16 Options Guide TX150 S6

17 Safety instructions V CAUTION! Ensure that the power sockets on the device and the grounded shockproof sockets are freely accessible. The On/Off button or the main power switch (if present) does not isolate the device from the mains power supply. To disconnect it completely from the mains power supply, unplug all network power plugs from the grounded shockproof sockets. Always connect the server and the attached peripherals to the same power circuit. Otherwise you run the risk of losing data if, for example, the server is still running but a peripheral device (e.g. memory subsystem) fails during a power outage. Data cables must be adequately shielded. The EN and EN /2 standards apply for LAN cabling. The minimum requirement is the use of a category 5 screened LAN cable for 10/100 Mbps Ethernet, or a category 5e cable for Gigabit Ethernet. The requirements from the ISO/IEC specification must also be met. Route the cables in such a way that they do not create a potential hazard (make sure no-one can trip over them) and that they cannot be damaged. When connecting the server, refer to the relevant instructions in this manual. Never connect or disconnect data transmission lines during a storm (risk of lightning strike). Make sure that no objects (e.g. jewelry, paperclips etc.) or liquids can get inside the server (risk of electric shock, short circuit). In emergencies (e.g. damaged casing, controls or cables, penetration of liquids or foreign bodies), switch off the server immediately, remove all power plugs and contact your sales outlet or customer service team. TX150 S6 Options Guide 17

18 Safety instructions V CAUTION! Proper operation of the system (in accordance with IEC /EN ) is only ensured if the casing is completely assembled and the rear covers for the installation slots have been fitted (electric shock, cooling, fire protection, interference suppression). Only install system expansions that satisfy the requirements and rules governing safety and electromagnetic compatibility and those relating to telecommunication terminals. If you install other expansions, they may damage the system or violate the safety regulations. Information on which system expansions are approved for installation can be obtained from our customer service center or your sales outlet. The components marked with a warning notice (e.g. lightning symbol) may only be opened, removed or exchanged by authorized, qualified personnel. Exception: hot-plug power supply units/ccs components can be replaced. The warranty is void if the server is damaged during installation or replacement of system expansions. Only set screen resolutions and refresh rates that are specified in the operating manual for the monitor. Otherwise, you may damage your monitor. If you are in any doubt, contact your sales outlet or customer service center. Batteries V CAUTION! Incorrect replacement of batteries may result in a risk of explosion. The batteries may only be replaced with identical batteries or with a type recommended by the manufacturer (see the technical manual for the system board). Replace the lithium-battery on the system board in accordance with the instructions in the technical manual for the system board. 18 Options Guide TX150 S6

19 Safety instructions Working with CDs/DVDs and CD/DVD drives When working with devices with CD/DVD drives, these instructions must be followed. V CAUTION! Only use CDs/DVDs that are in perfect condition in your server's CD/DVD drive, in order to prevent data loss, equipment damage and injury. Check each CD/DVD for damage, cracks, breakages etc. before inserting it in the drive. Note that any additional labels applied may change the mechanical properties of a CD/DVD and cause imbalance. Damaged and imbalanced CDs/DVDs can break at high drive speeds (data loss). Under certain circumstances, sharp CD/DVD fragments can pierce the cover of the CD/DVD drive (equipment damage) and can fly out of the device (danger of injury, particularly to uncovered body parts such as the face or neck). I You can prevent mechanical damage and damage to the CD/DVD drive, as well as premature CD/DVD wear, by observing the following suggestions: Only insert CDs/DVDs in the drive when needed and remove them after use. Store the CDs/DVDs in suitable sleeves. Protect the CDs/DVDs from exposure to heat and direct sunlight. Laser information The CD/DVD drive complies with IEC laser class 1. V CAUTION! The CD/DVD drive contains a light-emitting diode (LED), which under certain circumstances produces a laser beam stronger than laser class 1. Looking directly at this beam is dangerous. Never remove parts of the CD/DVD drive casing! TX150 S6 Options Guide 19
