General Safety Instructions for IT Equipment
Please read this chapter carefully and observe the instructions for your own safety and to ensure
correct use of the device.
The chapter also contains information on approval and interference suppression of your device.
The device has been built and tested by Kontron in accordance with EN 60950-1 and left the
premises in a perfectly safe condition.
In order to maintain the safe condition and ensure safe operation, the user must observe the
instructions and warnings on the device and in the manual.
 The device must be used in accordance with the instructions for use.
 The electrical installations in the room must correspond to the requirements of the local
(country-specific) regulations.
 Take care that there are no cables, particularly power cables, in areas where persons can trip
over them.
 Do not use a power cable in sockets shared by a number of other power consumers. Do not
use an extension cable.
 The unit is only completely disconnected from the electrical power source when the electrical
power cord is disconnected either from the power source or the unit. Therefore, the electrical
power cord and its connectors must always remain easily accessible.
 The system is not completely disconnected from the mains power supply by turning off via the
power button. When the system is turned off via the power switch, there a standby-voltage of
5 V remains on the baseboard.
 For DC power connection:
The DC power source should be able to be switched off and on via an isolating switch. The unit
is only completely disconnected from the DC main power source, when the DC power cord is
disconnected either from the power source or the unit. Therefore, the DC power cord and its
connectors must always remain easily accessible.
 For AC power connection:
The AC power cord is considered the mains disconnect for the device and must be readily
accessible when installed. If the individual power cord will not be readily accessible for
disconnection then you must install an AC power disconnect for the device. This main
disconnect must be readily accessible, and it must be labeled as controlling power to the
device.
 Do not place the device in direct sunlight, near heat sources, or in a damp place. Make sure the
device has adequate ventilation.
 Only devices and components which fulfill the requirements of an SELV circuit (safety extra low
voltage) in accordance with EN60950-1 may be connected to the interfaces of the system.
