Safety Notes
Safety Notes
Damage to RTM/Backplane or System Components
Bent pins or loose components can cause damage to the RTM, the backplane, or other
system components. Carefully inspect the RTM and the backplane for both pin and
component integrity before installation.
SMART EC and our suppliers take significant steps to ensure there are no bent pins on the
backplane or connector damage to the blades/RTMs prior to leaving the factory. Bent pins
caused by improper installation or by inserting blades with damaged connectors could void
the SMART EC warranty for the backplane or blades.
Operation
Make sure that the display devices that are permanently connected to the VGA interface
provide a fire enclosure according to the IEC/EN/UL/CSA 60950-1 requirements.
All other devices that are only connected to the VGA interface for service purposes need
supervision during operation and must be disconnected after maintenance.
Product Damage - Product Surface
High humidity and condensation on the product surface causes short circuits.
Do not operate the product outside the specified environmental limits. Make sure the
product is completely dry and there is no moisture on any surface before applying power.
Overheating and Blade Damage
When operating the product, make sure that forced air cooling is available in the shelf or
enclosure. Operating the product without forced air cooling may lead to overheating and
product damage. When operating the product in areas of electromagnetic radiation, secure
the product in the system using the front panel screws. Make sure the product is fully
shielded by the enclosure.
Data Corruption
If power to the unit is removed while a firmware update is in progress to the product's flash
memory, the changes will not be saved or the flash memory may be corrupted. In such
case, the product is likely to remain in a non-operable state and will require reconditioning
by qualified repair services.
Injuries or Short Circuits - Blade or Power Supply
In case the OR-ing diodes of the blade fail, the blade may trigger a short circuit between
input line A and input line B so that input line A remains powered even if it is disconnected
from the power supply circuit (and vice versa).To avoid damage or injuries, always check
that there is no voltage on the line that has been disconnected before continuing your work.
