Connecting External Equipment
To ensure best performance from the server and compliance with relevant EMC regulations, this
equipment should only be used with high-quality shielded data and signal cables.
Only equipment and accessories approved to IEC 60950-1 and SELV circuits may be
connected to the server. All equipment and accessories shall comply to the relevant standard
for the server’s port to which it is connected.
Environment
General
This equipment is intended for use in a commercial (not domestic) environment and should be
operated in a clean, dust free area (e.g. a server room).
The equipment is intended for operation in benign environments; that is, not subject to
corrosive or explosive atmospheres, moisture or flammable gases. The server is non-protected
against ingress of liquid (IPx0). The server is not designed to be subject to excessive
mechanical shock or vibration.
This equipment is not suitable for use in locations where children are likely to be present.
Only used at altitude
not exceeding 2000 m
Only used in not-tropical
climate regions
Thermal
Do not block any of the unit’s air vents and ensure the ambient temperature around the unit is
compatible with the environmental characteristics stated below.
Particularly when mounted in a rack cabinet with front or rear doors the ambient temperature
around the unit may be higher than the ambient room temperature.
Electrical
Before connecting power to the MAS Pro Dante, ensure the electricity supply is compatible
with the electrical ratings shown here and on the server product label. The unit shall not be
connected to an IT (unearthed neutral) power distribution system and the mains socket-outlet
used shall connect to the building installation ground.
The server is connected to and disconnected from the mains supply with the IEC 60320 power
connector on the rear of the unit.
Maintenance
Air Filter
A user-serviceable air filter is located on the server’s front panel. It is important to remove and
clean or replace the filter periodically to avoid overheating.
MAS Pro Dante is supplied with one spare filter pad, others can be provided by your supplier.
It should not be run without filters, since accumulations of dust inside the server can affect
performance.
Cleaning
External casing and the front panel should be carefully wiped with a soft cloth and antistatic
solution.
Server internal maintenance
Internal maintenance must only be undertaken by suitable qualified service personnel.
Warning
: Do not operate the server with any covers removed as the air flow through
the unit may be compromised leading to overheating.
Warning
: Motherboard CMOS battery replacement: Danger of explosion if incorrect battery
used or battery incorrectly installed. Contact your supplier for further instructions.
Any alterations to the product’s specification, including additional/alternative
components, BIOS changes, overclocking, etc., may invalidate the warranty or impact
the server’s performance. Additionally, such changes or modifications could cause equipment
no longer to comply with the relevant EMC regulations, and void the user’s authority to operate
the equipment. If in doubt, please contact your supplier.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD)
When handling electronic assemblies, take precautions to avoid electrostatic discharge (ESD)
causing damage. Precautions should include the wearing of an ESD protective wrist strap and
using antistatic bags for electronic assemblies when not installed in a server.
