Precautions for Installation, Relocation, Storage and Connection
Do not use any unauthorized interface cable.
Use only interface cables authorized by NEC and locate a proper device and connector
before connecting a cable. Using an authorized cable or connecting a cable to an improper
destination may cause a short circuit, resulting in a fire.
Also, observe the following notes on using and connecting an interface cable.
Do not use any damaged cable connector.
Do not step on the cable.
Do not put any object on the cable.
Do not use the card with the loose interface cable connection.
Do not use any damaged cable.
Do not use the equipment in the place where corrosive gases
exist.
Make sure not to locate or use the equipment in the place where corrosive gases (sulfur
dioxide, hydrogen sulfide, nitrogen dioxide, chlorine, ammonia, ozone, etc) exist.
Also, do not set it in the environment where the air (or dust) includes components
accelerating corrosion (ex. sulfur, sodium chloride) or conductive metals.
There is a risk of a fire due to corrosion and shorts of an internal printed board.
Contact your service representative for the place appropriate to the equipment.
Precautions for Handling of Internal Devices
Do not disassemble, repair, or modify the product yourself
Do not disassemble, repair, or modify this product. Doing so may cause an electrical shock
or a fire. Do not put the product close to fire, or immerse it in water. Doing so may cause an

Unplug all power cords
Turn the power off and unplug the power before removing the computer's cover. Failure
to do so could endanger you and may damage the adapter or computer
Precautions for Handling
Avoid installation in extreme temperature conditions.
Immediately after the server is powered off, its internal components such as heat sink are
very hot. Leave the server until its internal components fully cool down before
installing/removing any component.
Ground yourself to dissipate any static charge before handling
the adapter.
To prevent any damage on components due to static electricity, make sure to discharge
static electricity from yourself before you touch N8104-125Aadapter.
Don’t touch uncoated metal parts on adapter.
Never touch N8104-125A adapter’s LAN port, terminals of components or uncoated metal
parts on adapter. Otherwise, taint, erosion or others may cause loose connection. Do not
touch this product with wet or dirty hands.
Excessive force could break the connector.
On installing this adapter, do not insert it by force. Otherwise, N8104-125A adapter and
the server may be damaged.
Don’t touch the tip of bracket to other parts of server
When you insert N8104-125A adapter into expansion slot, be careful not to touch the tip of
bracket to other parts of server (such as other components or board). Otherwise, they
may be damaged.
Firmly connect the network cable
When connecting the cable, insert the cable connector until you hear a click sound.
