Safety Requirements
This section describes the requirements your site must meet for the safe installation and operation of the
system.
Site Safety Requirements
For your protection, please read these safety instructions completely before operating the equipment.
● Look carefully for potential hazards in your work area: moist floors, ungrounded power cables, frayed
power cords, missing safety grounds and so forth.
● Locate the main circuit breaker within the room.
● Locate the emergency power OFF switch within the room.
● Never assume that power is disconnected from a circuit.
● Use only the power cords supplied with the system.
● Each power cord should only be connected to a power outlet that has a protective ground contact.
● Ensure that power cords are easily accessible from the back of the system at all times.
● Place the equipment in a well-ventilated area where the vents are free from obstruction.
● Do not place heavy objects directly on top of the RMX 4000 unit.
● Do not use liquids around your equipment.
● Keep the area around the RMX 4000 clean and free of clutter.
● Decide on a suitable location for the equipment rack that will hold the RMX 4000 unit. It should be
situated in a clean, dust-free area that is well ventilated. Avoid areas where heat, electrical noise and
electromagnetic fields are generated. You will also need it placed near a grounded power outlet.
General Installation Precautions
Attention:
The RMX 4000 can weigh up to 40 kg when all slots are occupied. Two people are required to lift the
MCU out of the box and also when installing it in a rack.
● Use a regulating uninterruptable power supply (UPS) to protect the RMX 4000 from power surges
and voltage spikes, to keep your MCU operating in case of a power failure. The RMX 4000 requires
either two (DC) or three (AC) power supply cables, each connected to a power supply.
● Allow the power supply units to cool before touching them.
● When handling electronic components, standard anti-static precautions must be observed:
Wear a grounding strap
Handle cards by their edges only and do not touch their components or connector pins
Keep components in anti-static bags, when not installed in the RMX 4000
Rack Mount Safety Precautions
The following precautions should be followed when installing the RMX 4000 on a rack:
● The RMX 4000 has a height of 6U. Ensure this space is available on the rack.
