SAFETY INFORMATION 

To ensure safe and smooth operation of your InWin IW- RS118-03, it is essential that you choose an 
appropriate  location  for  the  system,  provide  an  appropriate  operating  environment,  and  adequate 
power for all components of the system. As you plan for installation, follow the guidelines below to 
ensure  that  the  system  and  its  environment  are  safely  and  appropriately  positioned  for  efficient 
operation  and  service.  Your  system  should  be  installed  and  serviced  only  by  technically  qualified 
persons. 

 

Environment selection:

 The system is designed to operate in a typical office environment. The location 

should be a clean, dry, and free of airborne particles; a well-ventilated room and away from sources of 
heat including direct sunlight and radiators; it should keep the sources of vibration or physical shock 
away; the space should be with a properly grounded wall outlet, and with sufficient space to access the 
power supply cords. The operation environment temperature should be around 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 
104°F).

 The power button DOES NOT totally turn off the system AC power. To remove 

the power of system, you have to unplug the AC power cord from the outlet or system’s power supply 
units.  Make  sure  the  power  cord  is  unplugged  before  you  open  the  chassis,  add,  or  remove  any
