•

Handle all sensitive components in a static-safe area. If possible, use
antistatic floor pads and workbench pads.

•

Handle the device carefully, holding it by its edges or its frame.

•

Do not touch solder joints, pins, or exposed printed circuitry.

•

Do not leave the device where others can handle and possibly damage the
device.

•

Take additional care when handling devices during cold weather, because
heating reduces indoor humidity and increases static electricity.

Rack Installation Safety Guidelines

Before installing IP/TV Server 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.

•

Plan the device installation starting from the bottom of the rack.

•

Install the heaviest device in the bottom of the rack.

•

Do not extend more than one device out of the rack at the same time.

•

Remove the rack doors and side panels to provide easier access during
installation.

•

Connect the IP/TV Server to a properly grounded outlet.

•

Do not overload the power outlet when installing multiple devices in the rack.

•

Do not place any object weighing more than 110 lb (50 kg) on top of
rack-mounted devices.
