To help protect your system components from sudden, transient increases and
•
decreases in electrical power, use a surge suppressor, line conditioner, or
uninterruptible power supply (UPS).
Position cables and power cords carefully; route cables and the power cord
•
and plug so that they cannot be stepped on or tripped over. Be sure that
nothing rests on your system components' cables or power cord.
Do not modify power cables or plugs. Consult a licensed electrician or your
•
power company for site modifications. Always follow your local or national
wiring rules.
Static electricity can harm delicate components inside the Content Engine. To
prevent static damage, discharge static electricity from your body before you
touch any of your system's electronic components. You can do so by touching an
unpainted metal surface on the chassis.
You can also take the following steps to prevent damage from electrostatic
discharge (ESD):
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.
When transporting a sensitive component, first place it in an antistatic
•
container or packaging.
Handle all sensitive components in a static-safe area. If possible, use
•
antistatic floor pads and workbench pads.
Before installing your Content Engine in a rack, review the following guidelines:
Two or more people are required to install the device in a rack.
•
Ensure that the room air temperature is below 95°F (35°C).
•
• Do not block any air vents; usually 6 inches (15 cm) of space provides
proper airflow.
