Safety Precautions

For all PDS installation procedures, observe the following important safety and handling
rules to avoid damage to yourself and the equipment:
• To protect users from electric shock, ensure that the power supplies for each unit
connect to earth via the ground wire provided in the AC power cord.
• The AC Socket-outlet should be installed near the equipment and be easily
accessible.

Before opening the PDS shipping box, inspect it for damage. If you find any damage, notify
the shipping carrier immediately for all claims adjustments. As you open the box, compare
its contents against the packing slip. If you find any shortages, contact your sales
representative.
The PDS shipping box contains the PDS unit, a power cord, and a CD. Once you have
removed all the components from their packaging and checked that all the components are
present, visually inspect the unit to ensure there was no damage during shipping. If there is
damage, notify the shipping carrier immediately for all claims adjustments.

The environment in which you install your PDS should be clean, properly lit, free from
static, and have adequate power, ventilation, and space for all components.

The PDS chassis is designed to be rack mounted and is supplied with front rack-mount
hardware.
When rack mounting the PDS chassis, remember the following important points:
• Maximum ambient operating temperature for the unit is 40 degrees C.
• Leave at least one inch of space (front and rear) to ensure that the airflow through
the fan and vent holes is not restricted.
• When installing multiple units into a rack, distribute them evenly to prevent
hazardous conditions that may be created by uneven weight distribution.
Note
The PDS chassis can also be used in a “tabletop”
configuration, without rack mounting.
