Care and Handling
Tips for placing the unit in an environmentally sound location and instructions
for cleaning the workstation cabinet are presented in this section.
Equipment Placement
The following pages present considerations for placement of the workstation
and related peripheral equipment.
Location
•
Appendix A contains dimensional data for the workstation and peripheral
devices. Before you decide on the space each piece of equipment will
occupy, take measurements and compare them to ours.
•
Locate all equipment so that it is accessible to service personnel.
•
Tile is the recommended floor surface for areas surrounding the equipment.
If the floor covering adjacent to the equipment is carpeted, an anti-static
grade of carpeting is recommended. If the carpeting surrounding the area
housing the equipment is not composed of anti-static material, the use of
static discharge mats is recommended. An anti-static mat incorporates a
grounding clip with a cable that can be attached to earth ground.
Proximity to Foreign Materials
Spilled liquids can cause damage to the circuits in MICROS equipment.
•
Do not place equipment near food preparation areas, glass racks, or water
stations.
Another source of potential hazards to the equipment are foreign objects,
including paper clips, staples, and any other metallic objects.
•
Safeguards should be taken to prevent the accidental dropping of such
materials into the equipment.
Noise Induction
In addition to the AC Power Requirements outlined in chapter 3 of the
appropriate Site Preparation Guide, other sources of electromagnetic
interference must be eliminated to ensure trouble-free operation of the
equipment.
•
Noise radiating from AC power lines throughout the site can be absorbed
by MICROS AC power and communications lines and induced into the
equipment. Consequently, no exposed cable dedicated to the MICROS
equipment should be run in the vicinity of any AC power lines.
•
Devices that emit RF energy, such as cordless phones, and walkie-talkies
should be kept at least 8 inches from the equipment or cable during
operation.
