Overview

This article provides instructions regarding Electrical and General Safety Guidelines for Exinda 3062/4062 Series.

 

Information

Caution.png Caution

This appliance is intended for installation in restricted areas only. Initial setup and maintenance should be performed by qualified personnel.

Caution.png Caution

Power down the appliance following the operating systems proper power down procedure using the power button on the front panel. Unplug the AC power cord before servicing.

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

  • This product is to be installed in Restricted Access Location only.
  • Use the exact type of power cords required.
  • Use the power cord(s) that came with safety certifications.
  • Power cord(s) must comply with 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.
  • Plug the power cord(s) into a socket that is properly grounded before turning on the power.

Required operating conditions for the appliance are:

  • Temperature: 10 °C to 35 °C (50 °F to 95 °F).
  • Humidity, non-condensing: 8 to 90%.

Disposing of Battery Backup Units - If Applicable

  • WARNING

    If the BBU is damaged in any way, toxic chemicals may be released.
    The material in the battery pack contains heavy metals that can contaminate the environment. Federal, state, and local regulations prohibit the disposal of rechargeable batteries in public landfills. Be sure to recycle the old battery packs properly. Comply with all applicable battery disposal and hazardous material handling laws and regulations in the country or other jurisdiction where you are using the BBU.

  • WARNING

    Risk of explosion if the battery is installed upside down or is replaced by an incorrect type.

    Replace it only with the same or equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer. Dispose of used batteries according to the instructions.

  • WARNING

    Disconnect the power supply at the circuit breaker before accessing any components. Turning off the system power supply switch does not reduce the risk of electrical shock from the power supply terminal block.

  • To prevent the unit from overheating, never install the appliance in an enclosed area that is not properly ventilated or cooled. For proper airflow, keep the front and back sides of the appliance clear of obstructions and away from the exhaust of other equipment.
  • 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 components. Do not work alone. 
  • Before removing or installing the main system components, be sure to disconnect the power first. Turn off the system before you disconnect the power supply.
  • Use only one hand when working with powered-on electrical equipment to avoid possible electrical shock.
  • 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.

  • 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 can prevent ESD damage to critical components.
  • 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.
  • 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 excellent conductivity between the power supply, the case, the mounting fasteners, and the motherboard.
