Safety Notes
Injury
Caution: The system may be equipped with multiple power feeds. All power connection
feeds must be disconnected to de-energize the system. To reduce the risk of personal
injury, disconnect the feeds when removing power from the system.
System Damage – Air Filters
Air contamination can pollute the air filter and obstruct the air intake of the system which
may cause system overheating and component damage.
To guarantee proper airflow through the system, replace the air filters (if equipped) at least
every six months. SMART EC recommends the air filters be replaced every 90 days.
Installations vary in physical location and cleanliness. Filter replacement may be required
more often in a dusty environment. Check air filters frequently after system installation to
determine how often they must be replaced. Establish a regular replacement schedule and
keep a log to record the date of each filter replacement.
Front Panel
The front panel, including the air filter (if equipped), is mounted to the system by alignment
pins and holding clips on both sides of the system. When mounting the front panel to the
shelf, align it accurately to avoid damage to the frame or front panel.
System Overheating
If you set the fan speed manually through the Board Management Controller (BMC),
constantly monitor the system temperature to prevent overheating.
Make sure that the environmental and power requirements are met while operating the
system.
Injuries or Short Circuits
To avoid damage or personal injury, always check that no hazardous voltage is present
before servicing equipment.
Data Corruption
If power to the unit is removed while a firmware update is in progress to the product's flash
memory, the changes will not be saved or the flash memory may be corrupted. In such
case, the product is likely to remain in a non-operable state and will require reconditioning
by qualified repair services.
