Agency Approvals

To reduce the possibility of electric shock from a telephone or Ethernet system, plug your enclosure into the power source before making these connects. Disconnect these connections before unplugging your enclosure from the power source.

Warning: Verify Power Cord and Outlet Compatibility. Check to ensure you are using the appropriate power cords for your power outlet configurations. Visit the following Web site for additional information: http://kropla.com/electric2.htm.

Rack Mount Enclosure Safety

Your enclosure may be intended for stationary rack mounting. Mount in a rack designed to meet the physical strength requirements of NEBS GR-63-CORE and NEBS GR 487. Your system may have multiple power sources. Disconnect all power sources and external connections/cables prior to installing or removing your system from a rack frame.

Prior to mounting, Intel recommends that you remove all hot-swappable equipment for optimum weight reduction. Be sure to mount your system in a way that ensures even loading of the rack. Uneven mechanical loading of weight can result in a hazardous condition. Secure all mounting bolts when installing the enclosure to the frame/rack.

Caution: Avoid Electric Overload. To avoid electric shock or fire hazard, only connect your system to an input voltage source as specified in the product user manual.
