Electro-Static Discharge Warning
Important:
Please take full E.S.D. precautions if it is necessary at any time to come
into contact with any circuit boards, components or connectors.
Electrostatic discharge can damage the components used in the RamSan
and its interfaces.
2.2
Battery Warning
The internal battery in the RamSan-120 is charged with enough voltage to
power a fully loaded system for approximately seven minutes. However,
the battery may not be fully charged when you install your system.
Therefore, ensure that your battery is fully charged before you use the
system where there is risk of power failure.
As a precaution, replace the RamSan’s battery every two years. To obtain
spare or new battery for your RamSan, contact Texas Memory Systems.

you have received all of the components listed.

Inspect the front panel display for damage.
5)
Report any meaningful damage to Texas Memory Systems.
