Appendix A: Safety Information

Although you may be using this guide or another resource as a reference, before working with your server product pay
WARNING:
close attention to these safety instructions. Always adhere to the assembly instructions in this guide to ensure and maintain
compliance with existing product certifications and approvals. Use only the described, regulated components specified in this
guide. Use of other products / components will void the UL listing and other regulatory approvals of the product and will most
likely result in non-compliance with product regulations in the region(s) in which the product is sold.
9.1

Emissions Disclaimer

To ensure EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility) compliance with your local regional rules and regulations, the final configuration
of your end system product may require additional EMC compliance testing. For more information, please contact your local
Kontron Representative. See
compliance information. This is an FCC (Federal Communications Commission) Class A device.

Intended Uses

This product was evaluated as Information Technology Equipment (ITE), which may be installed in Central Offices,
Telecommunication Centers, offices, schools, computer rooms, and similar commercial type locations. The suitability of this
product for other product categories and environments (medical, industrial, telecommunications, residential, alarm systems, test
equipment, etc.), other than an ITE application, may require further evaluation.
: Anchor the equipment rack: The equipment rack must be anchored to an unmovable support to prevent it from falling
WARNING
over when one or more servers are extended in front of the rack on slides. Always also consider the weight of any other device
installed in the rack. A crush hazard exists should the rack tilt forward which could cause serious injury.
9.2.1

If AC power supplies are installed:

Mains AC power disconnect: The AC power cord(s) is considered the mains disconnect for the server and must be readily
accessible when installed. If the individual server power cord(s) will not be readily accessible for disconnection then you must
install an AC power disconnect for the entire rack unit. This main disconnect must be readily accessible, and it must be labeled
as controlling power to the entire rack, not just to the server(s).
Grounding the rack installation: To avoid the potential for an electrical shock hazard, you must include a third wire safety ground
conductor with the rack installation. If the server power cord is plugged into an AC outlet that is part of the rack, then you must
provide proper grounding for the rack itself. If the server power cord is plugged wall AC outlet, the safety ground conductor in the
power cord provides proper grounding only for the server. You must provide additional, proper grounding for the rack and other
devices installed in it.
Overcurrent protection: The server is designed for an AC line voltage source with up to 20 amperes of overcurrent protection per
cord feed. If the power system for the equipment rack is installed on a branch circuit with more than 20 amperes of protection,
you must provide supplemental protection for the server. The overall current rating of a configured server is less than 6 amperes.
Do not attempt to modify or use an AC power cord set that is not the exact type required. You must use a power cord set
WARNING:
that meets the following criteria:
Rating: In the U.S. and Canada, cords must be UL (Underwriters Laboratories, Inc.) Listed/CSA (Canadian Standards
Organization) Certified type SJT, 18-3 AWG (American Wire Gauge). Outside of the U.S. and Canada, cords must be flexible
harmonized (<HAR>) or VDE (Verbena Deutscher Electrotechniker, German Institute of Electrical Engineers) certified cord with 3x
0.75 mm conductors rated 250 VAC.
» Connector, wall outlet end: Cords must be terminated in grounding-type male plug designed for use in your region. The
connector must have certification marks showing certification by an agency acceptable in your region and for U.S. must
be listed and rated for 125% of the overall current rating of the server.
