Installation Precautions

- Do not install this product in a place where the floor is unstable. Doing so may cause the floor to
collapse.
- Do not install this product in a location exposed to humidity, dust, smoke, poor ventilation, or fire.
Doing so may cause malfunctions, fire, or electric shock.
- Do not use this product in locations where water is splashed. Doing so may cause malfunctions,
fire, or electric shock.
- Do not block the air intake or exhaust vents. Blocking the air intake and exhaust vents could lead to
fire caused by high temperatures inside the product.
- The FX700 main unit (including the rack system) is designed to operate in an environment with
vibrations of 0.2 G or less (equivalent to an earthquake with a seismic intensity of 5 (on the JMA
scale: strong earthquake) without any problems.
Consult your sales representative when you design the rack system, because earthquake-proofing
measures such as anchoring equipment/racks to the floor, etc. will need to be taken to prevent the
equipment from toppling in the event of an earthquake.
- Do not use this product in an environment where corrosive gases are generated or where it may be
damaged by seawater. Doing so may cause malfunctions. Corrosive gases and salt spray may
corrode the equipment, which can lead to malfunctions and damage, dramatically shortening the
service life of the equipment. Therefore, measures such as installing an air cleaning system are
required.
Also, using the product in an environment exposed to dust may cause malfunctions and shorten the
service life of the equipment by damaging memory media or by impeding equipment cooling.
- Sources of corrosive gas include chemical factory areas, hot springs, and volcanic areas.
- A rough standard for an environment that may be exposed to salt spray damage is anywhere
within 500 m of the coastline.
- Do not install this product in a location where the power cord or other types of cables may get
tangled or caught on anyone's feet. Otherwise, the equipment may fall or topple, resulting in bodily
injury. Equipment damage or improper operation may also result.
- Do not install this product near TVs or speakers since they generate strong magnetic fields. Doing
so may cause malfunctions.
- Do not place heavy objects on the equipment. Doing so may cause the equipment to become
unbalanced and fall over, leading to bodily injury. Also, do not drop objects on the equipment or
expose the equipment to shock or vibration. Doing so may damage the equipment or cause it to
malfunction.
