Safety regulations

Before disassembling or installing expansion cards, the power must be completely turned off, and the chassis cover must be restored after maintenance;

The heat dissipation surface of the entire machine's fins is at a high temperature. Touch it after cooling down to avoid burns;

RTC lithium batteries are prohibited from being replaced with incorrect models, and waste batteries are collected in compliance with regulations;

The use of the venue is limited to controlled industrial computer rooms and is not suitable for residential or children's areas;

Prohibit blocking the heat dissipation duct and keep away from liquid, corrosive, and high humidity environments;

The power terminal is only compatible with copper wires, and the entire machine casing must be reliably grounded;

Immediately cut off power if water enters, falls, or cables are damaged. Only authorized engineers are authorized to repair.
