Safety Notes
Safety Notes
Blade Malfunctioning
Incorrect blade installation and removal can result in blade malfunction.
Operation
System Overheating - Cooling vents
Improper cooling can lead to blade and system damage and may void the manufacturer’s
warranty.
To allow for 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, rear,
or sides of the system. Keep the fresh air intake of the chassis completely clear. Make sure
that the fresh air supply is not mixed with hot exhaust from other devices. All slots should
be populated with blades, dummy blades, or filler cards.
Product Damage
High humidity and condensation on blade 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°C.
System Damage - Air Filter
Air contamination can pollute the air filter and obstruct the air intake of the system which
may cause system overheating and component damage.
To guarantee proper airflow through the system, replace the air filters (if equipped) at least
every six months. SMART EC recommends the air filters be replaced every 90 days.
Installations vary in physical location and cleanliness. Filter replacement may be required
more often in a dusty environment. Check air filters frequently after system installation to
determine how often they must be replaced. Establish a regular replacement schedule and
keep a log to record the date of each filter replacement.
Earth Ground
This equipment is designed to permit the connection of the earthed conductor of the DC
supply circuit to the earthing conductor at the equipment. If this connection is made, all of
the following conditions must be met:

This equipment shall be connected directly to the DC supply system earthing
electrode conductor or to a bonding jumper from an earthing terminal bar or bus to
which the DC supply system earthing electrode conductor is connected.
