Safety Instructions Safety Instructions Before You Begin Before handling the product, read the instructions and safety guidelines on the following pages to prevent damage to the product and to ensure your own personal safety. Refer to the “Advisories” section in the Preface for advisory conventions used in this user’s guide, including the distinction between Warnings, Cautions, Important Notes, and Notes. Always use caution when handling/operating a computer.
Safety Instructions 2. 3. 4. Disconnect the computer and peripherals from their power sources or subsystems to prevent electric shock or system board damage. This does not apply when hot swapping parts. Follow the guidelines provided in “Preventing Electrostatic Discharge” on the following page. Disconnect any telephone or telecommunications lines from the computer.
Safety Instructions Handle all sensitive components at an ESD workstation. If possible, use antistatic floor pads and workbench pads. Handle components and boards with care. Don’t touch the components or contacts on a board. Hold a board by its edges or by its metal mounting bracket. Do not handle or store system boards near strong electrostatic, electromagnetic, magnetic, or radioactive fields.
Preface Preface How to Use This Guide This guide is designed to be used as step-by-step instructions for installation, and as a reference for operation, troubleshooting, and upgrades. NOTE Driver downloads and additional information are available under Downloads on our web site: www.quanmax.com. Unpacking When unpacking, follow these steps: 1. After opening the box, save it and the packing material for possible future shipment. 2. Remove all items from the box.
Preface interference to radio or television equipment reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. Connect the equipment to an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected. Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Preface account, send an email to support@quanmax.com to apply for one. All product(s) returned to Quanmax for service or credit must be accompanied by a Return Material Authorization (RMA) Number. Freight on all returned items must be prepaid by the customer who is responsible for any loss or damage caused by common carrier in transit. Returns for Warranty must include a Failure Report for each unit, by serial number(s), as well as a copy of the original invoice showing the date of purchase.
Preface turning it on. Failure to do so may cause damage to internal components, particularly the hard disk drive. Humidity High-humidity can cause moisture to enter and accumulate in the system. This moisture can cause corrosion of internal components and degrade such properties as electrical resistance and thermal conductivity. Extreme moisture buildup inside the system can result in electrical shorts, which can cause serious damage to the system.
Preface Line conditioners keep a system’s AC power source voltage at a fairly constant level and, therefore, can handle brownouts. Because of this added protection, line conditioners cost more than surge protectors. However, line conditioners cannot protect against a complete loss of power. Uninterruptible Power Supply Uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems offer the most complete protection against variations on power because they use battery power to keep the server running when AC power is lost.
