Safety Instructions; Protecting Against Electrostatic Discharge - D-Link DWC-1000 Quick Installation Manual

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Please adhere to the following safety guidelines to help ensure
your own personal safety and protect your system from potential
damage. Any acts taken that are inconsistent with ordinary use
of the product, including improper testing, etc., and those not
expressly approved by D-Link may result in the loss of product
warranty.
Unless expressly approved by an authorized representative of
D-Link in writing, you may not and may not permit others to:
• Disassemble or reverse engineer the device or attempt
to derive source code (underlying ideas, algorithms, or
structure) from the device or from any other information
provided by
D-Link, except to the extent that this restriction is expressly
prohibited by local law.
• Modify or alter the device.
• Remove from the device any product identification or other
notices, including copyright notices and patent markings, if
any.
To reduce the risk of bodily injury, electrical shock, fire, and
damage to the device and other equipment, observe the following
precautions:
Power Sources
• Observe and follow service markings.
• Do not push any objects into the openings of your device
unless consistent with the authorized operation of the
device. Doing so can cause a fire or an electrical shock by
shorting out interior components.
• The powering of this device must adhere to the power
specifications indicated for this product.
• Do not overload wall outlets and/or extension cords as this
will increase the risk of fire or electrical shock.
• Do not rest anything on the power cord or on the device
(unless the device is made and expressly approved as
suitable for stacking).
• Position system cables and power cables carefully; route
cables so that they cannot be stepped on or tripped over.
Be sure that nothing rests on any cables.
• Operate the device only from the type of external power
source indicated on the electrical ratings label.
• To help avoid damaging your device, be sure the voltage
selection switch (if provided) on the power supply is set to
match the power available at your location.
• Also be sure that attached devices are electrically rated to
operate with the power available in your location.
• Use only approved power cable(s). If you have not
been provided a power cable for your device or for any
AC-powered option intended for your device, purchase a
power cable that is approved for use in your country and is
suitable for use with your device. The power cable must be
rated for the device and for the voltage and current marked
on the device's electrical ratings label. The voltage and
current rating of the cable should be greater than the ratings
marked on the device.
• To help prevent an electrical shock, plug the device and
peripheral power cables into properly grounded electrical
outlets. These cables are equipped with three-prong plugs
to help ensure proper grounding. Do not use adapter plugs
or remove the grounding prong from a cable. If you must
use an extension cable, use a 3-wire cable with properly
grounded plugs.
• Observe extension cable and power strip ratings. Ensure
that the total ampere rating of all products plugged into the
extension cable or power strip does not exceed 80 percent
of the ampere ratings limit for the extension cable or power
strip.
• To help protect your device from sudden, transient increases
and decreases in electrical power, use a surge suppressor,
line conditioner, or uninterruptible power supply (UPS).
• Do not modify power cables or plugs. Consult a licensed
electrician or your power company for site modifications.
Always follow your local/national wiring rules.
• When connecting or disconnecting power to hot-pluggable
power supplies, if offered with your device, observe the
following guidelines:
• Install the power supply before connecting the power cable
to the power supply.
• Unplug the power cable before removing the power supply.
• If the system has multiple sources of power, disconnect
power from the device by unplugging all power cables from
the power supplies.
Servicing/Disassembling
• Do not service any product except as expressly set forth in
your system documentation.
• Opening or removing covers that are marked with the
triangular symbol with a lightning bolt may expose you to
an electrical shock. Only a trained service technician should
service components inside these compartments.
• To reduce the risk of electrical shock, never disassemble
this device. None of its internal parts are user-replaceable;
therefore, there is no reason to access the interior.
• Do not spill food or liquids on your system components, and
never operate the device in a wet environment. If the device
gets wet, see the appropriate section in your troubleshooting
guide or contact your trained service provider.
• Use the device only with approved equipment.
• Move products with care; ensure that all casters and/or
stabilizers are firmly connected to the system. Avoid sudden
stops and uneven surfaces.
Environment
• Do not use this device near water (e.g. near a bathtub,
sink, laundry tub, fish tank, in a wet basement or near a
swimming pool).
• Do not use this device in areas with high humidity.
• This device must not be subjected to water or condensation.
• Keep your device away from radiators and heat sources.
Also, do not block cooling vents.
Cleaning
• Always unplug the power before cleaning this device.
• Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners of any kind. Use only
compressed air that is recommended for electronic devices.
• Use a dry cloth for cleaning.
PROTECTING AGAINST ELECTROSTATIC
DISCHARGE
Static electricity can harm delicate components inside your
system. To prevent static damage, discharge static electricity from
your body before you touch any of the electronic components,
such as the microprocessor. You can do so by periodically
touching an unpainted metal surface on the chassis.
You can also take the following steps to help prevent damage
from electrostatic discharge (ESD):
1. When unpacking a static-sensitive component from its
shipping carton, do not remove the component from the
antistatic packing material until you are ready to install the
component in your system. Just before unwrapping the
antistatic packaging, be sure to discharge static electricity
from your body.
2. When transporting a sensitive component, first place it in
an antistatic container or packaging.
3. Handle all sensitive components in a static-safe area. If
possible, use antistatic floor pads, workbench pads, and an
antistatic grounding str
