Safety instructions Before starting up CAUTION! During installation and before operating the device, observe the instructions on environmental conditions for your device. If the device is brought in from a cold environment, condensation may form both inside and on the outside of the device. Wait until the device has acclimatized to room temperature and is absolutely dry before starting it up.
Page 17
Safety instructions CAUTION! Ensure that the power sockets on the device and the properly grounded power outlets are freely accessible. The On/Off button or the main power switch (if present) does not isolate the device from the mains power supply. To disconnect it completely from the mains power supply, unplug all network power plugs from the properly grounded power outlets.
Page 18
Safety instructions CAUTION! Proper operation of the system (in accordance with IEC 60950-1/2 resp. EN 60950-1/2) is only ensured if the casing is completely assembled and the rear covers for the installation slots have been fitted (electric shock, cooling, fire protection, interference suppression).

Safety instructions Working with CDs/DVDs/BDs and optical drives When working with devices with optical drives, these instructions must be followed. CAUTION! Only use CDs/DVDs/BDs that are in perfect condition, in order to prevent data loss, equipment damage and injury. Check each CD/DVD/BD for damage, cracks, breakages etc. before inserting it in the drive.
Page 21
Safety instructions Do not contaminate the CD/DVD/BD surface with fingerprints, oil, dust, etc. If dirty, clean with a soft, dry cloth, wiping from the center to the edge. Do not use benzene, thinners, water, record sprays, antistatic agents, or silicone-impregnated cloth. Be careful not to damage the CD/DVD/BD surface.
