Operation
System Overheating
Cooling Vents
Improper cooling can lead to card and system damage and may void the manufacturer’s
warranty.
To ensure proper cooling and undisturbed airflow through the system always operate the
system in a horizontal position. Do not obstruct the ventilation openings at the front and rear
of the system. Keep the fresh air intake at the bottom-front side of the chassis completely clear.
Make sure that the fresh air supply is not mixed with hot exhaust from other devices. Make sure
that all slots are populated with PCIE cards or filler cards.
Product Damage
High humidity and condensation on card surfaces causes short circuits.
Do not operate the system outside the specified environmental limits. Make sure the system is
completely dry and there is no moisture on any surface before applying power. Do not start the
system below 0
0
C.
Injuries or Short Circuits
To avoid damage or injuries, always check that there is no more voltage on the line that has
been disconnected before continuing your work.
System Expansion
System Overload
To avoid an overload of the system check the total power consumption of all components
installed (see the technical specification of the respective components). Ensure that any
individual output current of any source stays within its acceptable limits (see the technical
specification of the respective source).
