SAFETY INFORMATION

 

To ensure a safe and smooth operation of your InWin IW-RS248-03, it is essential that you choose 
an appropriate location for the system, provide an appropriate operating environment and supply 
an adequate amount power for all components of the system. As you plan for installation, follow 
the guidelines below to ensure that the system and its environment are safely and appropriately 
positioned for efficient operation and service. Your system should be installed and serviced only by 
a qualified technician.

 

 

Environment selection:

 The system is designed to operate in a typical office environment:

   

 

The location should be clean, dry and free of airborne particles. 

 

 

It should be a well-ventilated room, and away from  sources of heat including direct sunlight 
and radiators. 

 

 

It should be kept away from sources of vibration or physical shock. 

 

 

The space should be accommodated with a properly grounded wall outlet, and with sufficient 
space to access the power supply cords. 

 

 

The operating environment temperature should be around 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F).

 

 

Heed  safety  instructions:

  Before  working  with  InWin  IPC/Storage  server  products,  we  strongly 

recommend you use this guide as a reference and follow the safety instructions. The instructions in 
this manual will help you ensure and maintain compliance with existing product certifications and 
approvals. Follow the described, regulated components mentioned in this manual. Use of non-UL 
listing  products  or  other  regulators  may  not  comply  with  product  regulations  in  the  region(s)  in 
which the product is sold.

   

 

System  power  on/off:

  The  power  button  DOES  NOT  totally  turn  off  the  system  AC  power.  To 

remove  the  power  of  the  system,  you  must  unplug  the  AC  power  cord  from  the  outlet  or  the 
system’s power supply units. Make sure the power cord is unplugged before you open the chassis, 
add or remove any components. 

 

 

Hazardous  conditions,  devices  and  cables:

 Hazardous electrical conditions can be present on/in 

power supply units and their cables. Disconnect the power cord and any other device attached to 
the  server  before  opening  the  case.  Failing  to  follow  safety  procedures  will  increase  the  risk  of 
personal injury or equipment damage.
